Premise[edit]

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, and a mechanical assistant 'Mouseketool' called Toodles, interact with the viewer to stimulate problem solving during each episode's story. Disney says that each episode has the characters help children 'solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic math skills, such as identifying shapes and counting through ten'. The series uses 'Disney Junior's 'whole child' curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities'.[1]

Once the problem of the episode has been explained, Mickey invites viewers to join him at the Mousekadoer, a giant Mickey-head-shaped computer whose main function is to distribute the day's Mouseketools, a collection of objects needed to solve the day's problem, to Mickey, one of them being a 'Mystery Mouskatool' represented by a question mark, which, when the words 'Mystery Mouskatool' are said, and the question mark change into the Mouseketool you get to use, another being a 'Mouseka-Think-About-It Tool' represented by a silhouette of Mickey's head with gears rotating, and the gang must think of what to use before telling the Tool 'Mouseka-Think-About-It-Tool, we pick the (object)'. Once the tools have been shown to Mickey on the Mousekadoer screen, they are quickly downloaded to Toodles, a small, Mickey-head-shaped flying extension of the Mousekedoer. By calling 'Oh, Toodles!' Mickey summons him to pop up from where he is hiding and fly up to the screen so the viewer can pick which tool Mickey needs for the current situation.[2][3]

The show features two original songs performed by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants, including the opening theme song, in which a variant of a Mickey Mouse Club chant ('Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse!') is used to summon the Clubhouse. They Might Be Giants also perform the song used at the end of every show, 'Hot Dog!', which echoes Mickey's first spoken words in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid.

This is the first time the major Disney characters have regularly appeared on television in computer-animated form. The characters debuted in CG form in 2003 at the Magic Kingdomtheme park attraction Mickey's PhilharMagic, then in the 2004 home videoMickey's Twice Upon a Christmas.

Production[edit]

Bill Farmer, the voice actor for Goofy and Pluto, stated in February 2014 that the recording of dialogue for new episodes has ceased, but that 'it will be quite a while before the show runs out of new episodes for TV. We have been on the air consistently since 2006 and we started recording in 2004. So there is always a long lead-in time between recording and seeing it on TV. So don’t worry more is still to come, we just are not making any more'.[6]

Reception[edit]

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse received mixed to positive reviews, Common Sense Media rated the show a 4 out of 5 stars, stating: 'Parents need to know that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a lively series designed to help preschoolers acquire problem-solving and early mathematics skills – and does so in a fun, exciting way. Although the show is very learning-focused, it's engaging without being intimidating'.[7]
