a) The designs seem familiar to past designs of the franchise, hell they pay HOMAGE to the older designs!
b) Structure of the show while updated, it's still close and similar to the classic shorts
And finally
c) While being for a new audience, since there wasn't a dramatic shift of genre, those older audiences that enjoyed the originals can find the appeal of the new ones easily.
If anything, the new Mickey shorts is the perfect example how you can bring an old ass cartoon show back targeting kids in a respectful way while not alienating your fanbase while STILL updating it to the current trends.
