What is pie-eyed mickey?
Yeah, those really are awful. Ren and Stimpyified but made for the modern 3 second attention span.
I thought "pie-eyed" was specifically where there's a triangular "shine"/cutout from the black pupil, like a pie with one slice removed. Your first example has solid black eyes.
It’s the older version where there’s no division between the sclera (white of eye) and the rest of the skull:

Compare to later versions, where the eyes are well defined:

In recent years, Disney has been using the old version from Steamboat Willie at the start of movies:

And even making new shorts with that style:
