Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is an American interactive computer-animated children's television series which aired from May 5, 2006, to November 6, 2016 on the Disney Channel. It is Disney Television Animation's first computer-animated series aimed at preschoolers. The series was created by Disney veteran Bobs Gannaway. 126 episodes were produced. After it ended, the show was spun off into Mickey and the Roadster Racers/Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse. It also spawned the short animations called Minnie's Bow-Toons.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It isn't very faithful to the original Mickey Mouse for some reasons:
 * 2) *Unlike House of Mouse (which had a different premise but retained the Mickey Mouse film series' comedy, writing, animation, acting, and cameos), this series only has a few of those.
 * 3) **It's similar to Bear in the Big Blue House to the point where its replacement was used in a live show at the Disney theme parks in Orlando, Anaheim and Paris, France.
 * 4) The humor is a mixed bag, ranging from fairly amusing to somewhat questionable to downright corny.
 * 5) Only a dozen of the characters from the Mickey Mouse franchise appear in this show. These characters are:
 * 6) *Mickey Mouse (main host)
 * 7) *Minnie Mouse (second host)
 * 8) *Donald Duck
 * 9) *Daisy Duck
 * 10) *Goofy
 * 11) *Pluto
 * 12) *Clarabelle
 * 13) *Pete
 * 14) *Chip and Dale
 * 15) *Professor Ludwig Von Drake
 * 16) **Speaking of them, everyone will often ask the audience unnecessary and pointless questions in every episode. They also treat the audience like how Darby from My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Special Agent Oso, JoJo from JoJo's Circus, the Little Einsteins, the narrators and puppets from Baby Einstein, the Teletubbies, Dora the Explorer, Diego from Go, Diego, Go!, Blue from Blue's Room, Joe from the the later seasons of Blue's Clues, Barney the Dinosaur, Elmo from Sesame Street (when he is given the most screen time on Sesame Street), and Pinky Dinky Doo do.
 * 17) Toodles, a character exclusive to this show, has no purpose other than to provide Mouskatools.
 * 18) The way the episodes are structured may get repetitive to some viewers after a while.
 * 19) Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, and as such can't even be considered songs at all, except for the theme song, the Hot Dog Dance, and a handful of other songs.
 * 20) This show may have misled some people into thinking that Mickey Mouse is only for younger children, which is totally not true.
 * 21) Meh CGI animation, even for 2006-16 standards.
 * 22) Unsophisticated, simplistic, and generic bubblegum songs like the theme song, "The Hot Dog Dance", "Shake Your Peanut", "Choo Choo Boogie", and "Rock 'n Ride 'n Rally" (depending on one's view).
 * 23) Some of the problems Mickey and his friends encounter are minor and aren't even a big deal, like bringing a baby bird back to its nest.
 * 24) There are lots of sci-fi and adventure plotlines that don't fit within the Mickey Mouse universe.
 * 25) The Mouskatools are absolutely dumb, and the show's methodology makes absolutely no sense to anyone with a basic knowledge of how things work. The characters even use them at inappropriate times.
 * 26) *Let's say someone has to climb a fence and all Toodles has are a piece of boiled ham, a tennis ball, and a flashlight. Those are all useless, right? WRONG. That's usually when another character (usually Mickey) is like, "What if we step ON the ham to get over the fence?" And this is presented as the correct solution, which is just stupid.
 * 27) No good or decent episodes whatsoever.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Fantastic voice acting, to the point where it seems like the cast is having fun with their respective characters.
 * 2) *The show properly utilizes the talents of Wayne Allwine, as Allwine had recorded enough dialogue for Season 3 before his 2009 death.
 * 3) The Sensational Six (the main clique of the show) still have their relatable and diverse personalities. We have the optimistic leader Mickey, his girlfriend Minnie, the sassy Daisy, the short-tempered Donald, the bumbling Goofy, and the loyal yet easily jealous Pluto.
 * 4) Depending on your view, the show can be nostalgic.
 * 5) Some parental bonuses and Disney references, such as when Mortimer appeared in some episodes and the clubhouse turned black and white.
 * 6) It subverts preschool show clichés by having a three-dimensional villain in the form of Pete. In fact, he's actually more of an anti-hero, since he makes friends with the Sensational Six from time to time.
 * 7) Daisy Duck was massively redeemed in the show after being previously flanderized in Mickey Mouse Works, Disney's House of Mouse, and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas and got her classic and original personality back.

Trivia

 * Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was introduced at MIPTV on April 3, 2006 to prospective broadcasters and investors as consisting of 126 thirty-minute episodes.
 * The series was then presented at the Cartoons on the Bay Film Festival on April 5, 2006 as running for 126 thirty-minute episodes as well.

Can Mickey Mouse Funhouse be acquired by WGBH Boston for United States distribution from Alliance Atlantis Communications Kids? Similar to that show called Peep and the Big Wide World?
