The streaming service said in a press release Monday that the show will premiere Nov. 18 on Mickey Mouse's birthday.
The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse features classic art inspired by previous "Mickey Mouse" shorts. Each episode runs seven minutes and features new comedy, settings, stories and music.
The series follows Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto on their "greatest adventures yet." The episodes will include stories inspired by lands at Disney parks and cameos by classic Disney characters.
The "Mickey Mouse" shorts premiered on the Disney Channel in 2013 and aired for five seasons. The series featured a contemporary art style inspired by Mickey's 1928 beginnings.
