Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

They don't call Disney the "Mouse House" for nothing. There's no question that Mickey Mouse is the king of the classic Disney cartoon characters. He's iconic, memorable, and almost every Disney fan and cartoon fan in general knows his name. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is perhaps the latest show to have him as a star, and for some bizarre reason, they decided to create a show aimed at preschoolers.

The show follows the same interactive formula used in two Nick Jr. shows, Blues Clues & Dora the Explorer. The main character interacts with the viewer and asks him/her for help on a certain something. In addition to Mickey's familiar pals like Minnie, Donald, and Goofy, there are some elements that are exclusive to the show such as the clubhouse itself, a floating mouse-eared device named "Toodles", and the "Mousketools" the device usually carries. There are some bright sides to the show. It teaches children creative skills and problem solving, and that is a very important thing to teach to children nowadays, because there is no creativity when it comes to television for kids and tweens.

This was an odd route Disney chose to reintroduce their mascot to new generations of kids. With the character's track record of being on shows such as Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse, Mickey's no stranger to television. But, an interactive "edutainment" show for preschoolers does not seem like a very good fit for him. I don't think rendering the characters into 3D CGI was the best idea either, but the show sure did work. I know someone whose daughter watches the show and now also watches the original Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts by Walt Disney himself because of it.

I'm quite the fan of Disney and I watched the show when I was younger and I would say I got hooked because of the comedy and more specifically I enjoyed Goofy and Pete because they were in my opinion the funniest characters in the show.

The characters who have jobs in the show are Clarabelle and the Professor because Clarabelle is a shop owner and Ludwig von Drake is a scientist but also could have been a teacher.

But I rated it 8 stars because now I'm older I think it's gets a bit repetitive but I watch it for nostalgia views 😁.

The show went on for 4 Seasons and had 125 episodes and a Christmas Special.

This show and Dragon Tales are the only cartoons that my two-year-old son will watch. He is fascinated and recently started answering Mickey back. Yes, this is a rip-off of Dora, but my son likes this and not Dora, so who cares? He has seen the sheep, beanstalk and Mars episodes and been glued through them all. He doesn't watch much TV, so this is a great opportunity for me to unload the dishwasher or get dinner ready. (Thank you TiVo!) One thing that does bother me is that Minnie and Daisy have to do all of their adventuring with heels on. Come on! It is 2006. Ducks and mice do not need to wear heels.

My husband and I can't get the songs out of our head. Does anyone know who sings "Hot Dog"?

I've seen lots of people hate this show and MMC doesn't deserve it. It's Dora the Explorer done correctly. Mickey doesn't yell at the viewer and act annoying like Dora does which makes him way more engaging to me as a kid. He's more calm and patient with the viewers like Steve was on Blues Clues. However there are some scenes where the interactivity can be kinda pointless and some scenes that audience interaction could be needed. The rest of the characters like Goofy, Donald and Minnie Mouse are still there charming selves we have known for years. Toodles is a pretty cool gadget who gives Mickey, the audience and his friends the items they need to solve problems and this show is way more educational than Dora by a long shot. This show had the usual letters, shapes, colors and numbers and whatnot but it expanded its curriculum including fractions, science and really basic multiplication and division for a preschool show.

Just watched an episode of mickey mouse clubhouse. Overall the plot was great, but the one thing that kept me watching was the mystery mouskatool. Although I was watching for the reveal, the payoff was not great. By the time we were shown the mystery mouskatool, we had already seen better and more interesting gadgets. Also Mickey kept yelling at me.
