TV.com summary

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a children's television series, that premiered in prime time on Disney Channel on May 5, 2006. The program is part of the Playhouse Disney daily block of shows intended for preschoolers.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto star in this series, which focuses in on interacting with the viewer to stimulate problem solving. Ludwig Von Drake, Chip 'n Dale, Pete, Mr. Pettibone, Willie the Giant, Clarabelle Cow, Butch, Figaro the Kitten, Humphrey the Bear and Mortimer Mouse have guest starred in the series so far.

Each episode has the characters help viewers "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic skills, such as identifying shapes and counting through ten." The series uses Playhouse Disney’s "whole child" curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities. Mickey and friends also get aid from a computerized flying machine named Toodles,[1] who brings "Mousekatools"[2] to them should he be needed (accompanied by "Oh, Toodles!"). He will usually bring four tools with him, although some episodes had Toodles bringing only three tools, and one episode had him bringing five. One of the tools is a "Mystery Mousekatool", which is a surprise tool Mickey and friends might use later on, and is usually used last, although many episodes have the "Mystery Mousekatool" being used next-to-last. And in the episode "Dr. Daisy MD" it was used first.

The Walt Disney Television Animation-produced program was initially announced on March 1, 2005 by Gary Marsh, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, Disney.

Mickey and friends previously appeared on television in Mickey Mouse Works (1999-2001) and Disney's House of Mouse (2001-2003).

The show features two original songs performed by They Might Be Giants, including the opening theme song, in which a variant of a Mickey Mouse Club chant is used to summon the Clubhouse. this chant is, "MEESKA MOOSKA MICKEY MOUSE!". They Might Be Giants also perform the song used at the end of the 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 appeared on television in computer-animated form (except for Donald, who appeared in CG in the Mickey Mouse Works short "Computer.don"). The characters debuted in CG form in 2003 at the Magic Kingdom theme park attraction Mickey's PhilharMagic, then in the 2004 home video Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas. However, in this latest incarnation, Mickey's and Minnie's 3-D renderings are truer to their original hand-drawn likenesses, in that their ears remain distinct perfect circles regardless of which way their heads are turned, along with improved animation for the second season.
