Have a Laugh! was a fun animated comedy show from the Walt Disney Company. It aired on the Disney Channel from 2009 to 2012. The show took classic Mickey Mouse cartoons and presented them in new ways. It was made up of short clips, or "interstitials," that played between other shows.

What is Have a Laugh! About?
This series showed both short and longer versions of old Disney cartoons. For the shorter versions, new voice actors recorded the voices. This meant characters like Donald Duck (voiced by Tony Anselmo) and Mickey Mouse (voiced by Bret Iwan) sounded fresh. If parts of a cartoon were removed, a "Short Version" stamp appeared on the title screen. This helped viewers know it was a shorter edit.
The show also had special segments called "Disney's Re-Micks." In these, classic Mickey Mouse cartoons were set to popular songs. For example, you might see Mickey's adventures with a song like "He Could Be the One" by Miley Cyrus. It was a cool way to mix old cartoons with new music!
