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.
 * 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) Many characters from the Mickey Mouse franchise are absent. The only characters from the franchise that are present in this show are:
 * 6) *Mickey Mouse
 * 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) *And a few other original characters
 * 17) **Speaking of them, everyone will often ask the audience unnecessary and pointless questions in every episode. The characters often treat the viewers like idiots.
 * 18) The way the episodes are structured can get repetitive to some viewers after a while.
 * 19) Most of the songs are just the characters rhythmically talking, which 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) Overly simple and generic plotlines.
 * 22) The CGI in Season 1 is mediocre at best, even for 2006-07 standards.
 * 23) *The animation in the first two episodes is especially stilted, weird, and occasionally awkward.
 * 24) Unsophisticated, simplistic, uncreative, cringeworthy, and generic songs like the theme song, "The Hot Dog Dance", "Shake Your Peanut", "Choo Choo Boogie", and "Rock 'n Ride 'n Rally".
 * 25) 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.
 * 26) *Occasionally the problems they encounter have potential to be good, only to be ruined thanks to the humor and cheesy moments littered throughout.
 * 27) There are lots of sci-fi and adventure plotlines that don't fit within the Mickey Mouse universe, especially in the later seasons.
 * 28) The Mouskatools are absolutely dumb, and the show's methodology makes absolutely no sense to anyone with a basic knowledge of how things work. Sometimes, the characters use them at inappropriate times.
 * 29) *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.
 * 30) *In one episode, Mickey and the gang must push a button to summon a train sound, and the correct button turns out to be a HOT DOG. You know why? Because if you "chew chew" a hot dog according to Mickey, you’ll get CHOO-CHOO. That is just stupid.

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 three before his 2009 death.
 * 3) 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 old personality back.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) Depending on your view, the show could be unintentionally enjoyable either as a guilty pleasure or a nostalgia trip.
 * 6) It subverts some 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) Some parental bonuses and Disney references, such as when Mortimer appeared in some episodes and the clubhouse turning black and white in one episode.
 * 8) Even though it's annoying, Donald's voice can be sometimes unintentionally funny for some people, especially in the international language dubs.
 * 9) The animation gradually improves throughout the series, and actually gets good and fluid in Season 4, especially in the double-length specials.
 * 10) *The animation in Season 1 slightly improves as it progresses on.
 * 11) Many episodes have good concepts that are simply wasted thanks to the flat comedy and dull storylines.
 * 12) Outside of the songs, the background music for this show is actually good and nice on the ears.

Trivia

 * The series' pilot episode, Daisy-Bo-Peep was first screened at Disney World before its premiere on Disney Channel.

Comments
Sorry if I overreacted. To be fair, I consider this show to be a guilty pleasure.

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?
