Review: LEGO 10775 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s Farm

June 14, 2021 By Jay 4 Comments

A pleasant surprise out of LEGO’s second half of 2021 release schedule is the new Disney sub-theme Mickey and Friends, with a small run of 4+ (previously called Juniors) sets featuring Mickey Mouse and his other Disney colleagues.

10775 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s Farm is now available in Australia and the rest of the world, however it only hits North American toy stores in August 2021.

With the 4+ label, these are great options if you have young builders who are ready to bridge the gap between Duplo and System sets. With Mickey and Friends headlining these sets, the characters are tailor-made to appeal to toddlers will appreciate the fun outfits and settings of these sets.

That said, don’t let the 4+ label dissuade you from getting the set if you’re a fan of all things Disney and Mickey, or if you want the prized inclusion of the set – the new LEGO Sheep. The sheep was the main incentive for me to pick up the set, and when revealed, I knew I had to get it as I’m a big fan of LEGO livestock and animals.

Strap on your overalls, put on some boots, and let’s head down to Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s Farm to see if farm life is right for you!

10775 Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck’s Farm Set Details

Name: Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck’s Farm
Set Number: 10775
Pieces: 118
Price: AU$49.99 | US$29.99 | £27.99 – Buy from LEGO.com [AUS] [USA] [UK]
Exclusive to: N/A
Theme: Disney Mickey & Friends
Release Date: 1 June 2021 (Rest of World) / 1 August 2021 (North America)

As it’s a 4+ set, I naturally outsourced the build to my 4-year old daughter who was more than eager to take up the task.

There were 3 instruction booklets, and there were some really cool details – I like the classic Mickey & Friends illustration on the back of Book 3, and to make it easier for younger builders, each step has a diagram highlighting which elements are used.

At the bottom of the pages is a timeline with Mickey, that tracks your progress along the build, and lets younger builders know for far they are away from the end of the books.

Despite it being a 4+ set, I did notice my daughter struggle through parts of the build, especially the barn – some of the steps are a little fiddly, and require some precise control, so I wouldn’t say it’s a set younger builders can independently build – my daughter regularly builds sets for 5 & 6+ ages, so I was surprised at how fiddly some parts were.

Here’s a look at the minifigures included – you get Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse dressed up in adorable farmer outfits.

The Donald Duck minifigure has a blue plaid shirt on, with a ribbon tied around his neck, and a sheaf wheat sticking out his frnt pocket, whereas Mickey Mouse is dressed in red, with blue overalls which also has some wheat sticking out of his front pouch.

Donald Duck has his signature cap, but Mickey is hat-less. I think there was a missed opportunity here to equip Mickey Mouse with a wide-brim hat, not just to look the part as a farmer but because sun and UV protection is crucial when out in the fields.

Here’s a better look at their back printing.- interestingly, Donald Duck has his tail printed on the back of his torso and lacks the tail-piece that was present in his Disney Series 1 minifigure.

The real draw of the set however are the farm animals – and you get 4 in the set – a white chicken, a rabbit, a horse (which you may recognise from the Medieval Blacksmith) and of course the brand new LEGO Sheep!

Kids absolutely love farms, thanks to the thousands of types you will sing/hear the words to Old McDonald Had a Farm if you have had the pleasure of raising toddlers, the selection of farm animals are superb, giving you opportunities to have your toddlers mimic their sounds, or quiz them about what food they eat.

Here’s a closer look at the LEGO Sheep – which has a black face, and feet. It’s been a while since we got some new LEGO System livestock, so the Sheep’s presence will be very welcomed by fans.

The sheep is quite cute, and has some moulding along its belly, and back as well as the back of his head. Its beady eyes are contrasted well against the pitch black head.

Here’s a comparison against the Duplo sheep, and the LEGO Friends sheep, which reveals one of the LEGO Sheep’s aesthetic downside – it simply lacks the fluff and “woolly” look that you’d from a sheep.

The narrow and smooth sides are a little uncharacteristic, and I would’ve really liked a fluffier sheep.

That said, while it’s no LEGO Goat, I’m still glad that we get some new LEGO farm animals, and from certain angles, the LEGO Sheep still manages to look exceedingly cute, thanks to its black face, and feet which look like black socks.

Moving on to the builds, the first instruction manual has you assembling Donald Duck’s lime green tractor. It’s a pretty simple build, but does the job well in looking like a farm tractor, and I like the large backwheels, and the grey exhaust on the front.

Bag/Book 2 has you assembling these little builds – a hutch for the hen to lay an egg, and some fences with corn stalks, and a feeder for the horse.

Very basic, but the fences are useful as they “pad out” the farm, and you can also “harvest” the corn, to place in the feeder.

Speaking of the horse, here’s a look at this new for 2021 tan horse, which made its first appearance in the Medieval Blacksmith set.

The horse makes for added playability, and is quite an expensive standalone animal, so its addition does make for great value in itself, especially if you don’t own the Medieval Blacksmith.

The main part of the build is the barn – a fairly large structure for Mickey and Donald. While it’s a barn, it really isn’t meant for the animals unfortunately.

The barn has these rounded corner pieces with printed decorations on them. The print is quite large, spanning across most of the element, featuring windows with the Mickey silhouette on them, flowers, and some grass at the base.

On the arched roof of the barn is this brand new LEGO element – a LEGO Mickey logo!

I wasn’t expecting this at all, and it’s a really cool element, and perhaps symbolic of LEGO’s commitment to the Disney and Mickey & Friends license – for them to go all the way to create a brand new mould that’s a silhouette of the most well-known cartoon character of all time.

Here’s a look at the back of the new Mickey element.

The interiors of the barn are pretty bare – there’s a small bed for Donald Duck to sleep on, a winch to hoist up the tan bales of hay, and that’s pretty much it! No furniture, or any section for the animals to hang out in.

Does Mickey sleep on the floor, or in the loft above?

There are so many different “things” that you can build and interact with, making this a very playable set, especially for toddlers. You can feed the farm animals using the green wheelbarrow, or move around bales of hay.

The animals and minifigures are the main highlights, and the sheer variety of animals more than makes this one of the more playable sets this year.

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a proper farm set, and while this isn’t the goat-filled set that most LEGO fans are yearning for, it does give agriculturally-minded LEGO fans something to tide them over until LEGO gives us a proper-sized (and overdue!) farm.

What I liked:

  • The new LEGO sheep is a great new farm animal
  • Minifigures are super cute
  • Lots of elements and builds make for great playability
  • No stickers as it’s a 4+ set

What I didn’t like: 

  • Sheep design could be improved to look fluffier
  • Donald Duck is missing his tail-piece
  • Barn is a little barebones and plain
Final Thoughts:

For a 4+ set that’s primarily aimed at toddlers, you cannot go wrong with 10775 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s Farm.

The entire set is designed around playability, and the abundance of “stuff” packed in the set, two great minifigures, 4 animals, a tractor, a barn and little bits such as fences make for the complete package.

If you’re a mum or dad to a toddler, making the jump from Duplo to LEGO System, this is a great set to start them along, as you can also partake and enjoy the great selection of minifigures, and LEGO animals.

Mickey and Donald Duck are really cute in their farm outfits, and gives them a bit of personality outside of their “regular” appearances in the Disney Minifigures Series.

If you’re an adult fan, you will be tempted by the minifigures, and most importantly the LEGO Sheep, which is going to be one the most popular elements from LEGO’s Bricks and Pieces ordering service or Bricklink, because you absolutely need an entire flock of sheep for best results.

As a display set, it’s just okay – the barn makes for an attractive focal point, but the little bits just end up as a distraction as they’re really meant to be played with, and it would be nice if the the designers had added some additional features such as doors, but the printed rounded corners are a nice enough touch.

The price is also quite decent for what you get, and if its on sale, it’ll be an even more compelling buy, especially if you want to kickstart your farm animal collection, or just love all things Disney.

For the 4+ audience, and parents who want to let their toddlers begin dabbling with LEGO, this is a great set that provides plenty of replay value, and the Disney characters will also ensure that it gets younger kids excited. For adult Disney fans, you can absolutely relish in the cuteness of Mickey and Donald’s farm.

Rating and score: 4/5 ★★★★✰

Build [3] – The build is meant for kids 4 and up, but it loses points because some parts of the barn are quite fiddly
Real Value [4] – Despite the set’s high price for 118 pieces, you get a ton of value – 2 exclusive minifigs, and a ton of animals and printed pieces
Innovation [3] – Does the LEGO Sheep and new Mickey piece count as innovation? I’m going to say yes in this context
Coolness [4] – It’s hard to argue against the coolness of a new Sheep mould, and kitschy appeal of a Disney farm
Keepability [4] – With exclusive outfits for Donald and Mickey and a sheep, this is a keeper with plenty of replay value


Thanks for reading my review of 10775 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s Farm! Hope you enjoyed this quick look at the set, and enjoyed me geeking out on LEGO livestock.

Just to demonstrate how obsessed I am about LEGO farm animals, here’s how I upgraded Mickey and Donald’s farm with more additions from my collection of LEGO farm animals, including my prized goat and cow herd.

What do you think of Mickey and Donald’s Farm? Do you like the new Sheep mould or can it be improved further?

10775 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s Farm is now available in Australia and the rest of the world, however it only hits North American toy stores in August 2021.

    We got our boys a bunch of LEGO sets for Christmas. Our 9-year-old is obsessed with all things LEGO, especially SPACE themed, robotic, Ninjago, things of that nature.
    Our 7-year-old always wants to be on the go and prefers less complex sets. He loves, what I term, the “quirky” parts of LEGO, or maybe “unique” is a better term, and especially loves the animals. We got him a few of these Mickey sets after I saw a couple of your reviews and he built them all yesterday. He was so happy, he even had a show where he had us sit down while he showed us what he built.
    Like you, his favorite part of this set was the sheep. 🙂
    And, he loved the Pluto figure that came with the Mickey RV set.
    Thank you for the review that inspired my purchase!

    It kind of reminds me of the Clubhouse farm from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

    Love the sheep (and your enviable collection of goats and pigs) however the set is fairly expensive – no doubt because it’s Disney. I really wish lego would create more animals (not Duplo).

My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 C My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 Clone Commander Cody is up, and here's a closer look at some of the details. 

They both will be released on 1 March 2023, and will retail for US$69.99 / AU$99.99 / £59.99 and can be pre-ordered now.

I think both helmets are excellent additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmets translate incredibly well, and there are some masterful sculpting techniques and great use of negative space to get the look just right. 

I have to say that I much prefer Commander Cody out of the two, because of the 212th's orange markings, and cool features like the visor and fin. Captain Rex, while having some cutting-edge building techniques have some really poorly colour-match stickers which distract from the otherwise great build. 

Will you be planning on picking any of these up?

Special thanks to @lego for sending these early review sets over!
