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 confirmed to appear are:
 * 6) *Mickey Mouse
 * 7) *Minnie Mouse
 * 8) *Donald Duck
 * 9) *Daisy Duck
 * 10) *Chip and Dale
 * 11) *Pete
 * 12) *Professor Von Drake
 * 13) *Goofy
 * 14) *Clarabelle
 * 15) **Speaking of them, they will often ask the audience unnecessary and pointless questions. 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 the Sesame Street segment Elmo's World and in the later seasons of Sesame Street, and mh:besttvshows:Pinky Dinky Doo would.
 * 16) The way the episodes are structured can get repetitive to some viewers after a while.
 * 17) 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.
 * 18) This show may have misled some people into thinking that Mickey Mouse is only for younger children, which is totally not true, especially considering he was created almost an entire century ago as of now.
 * 19) Overly simple plotlines.
 * 20) Mediocre CGI animation, even for 2006 standards, that looks like a Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube or an Xbox video game.
 * 21) Unsophisticated, simplistic, uncreative, cringeworthy, and generic bubblegum songs like the theme song,"The Hot Dog Dance", "Shake Your Peanut", "Choo Choo Boogie", and "Rock 'n Ride 'n Rally".
 * 22) Some of the problems Mickey and his friends encounter are minor and aren't even a big deal.
 * 23) Many of the episode plots are stupid. The series also had lots of sci-fi and supernatural plotlines that don't fit within the Mickey Mouse universe.
 * 24) Donald's voice sounds extremely ear-piercing and annoying, even though its unintentionally funny for some.
 * 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. Sometimes, the characters use them at inappropriate times.
 * 26) *Let's say a character has to climb a fence and all Toodles has for said character 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) *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 a big example of this show’s lack of common sense.

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 songs can be nostalgic.
 * 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 turned black and white.
 * 8) Even though it's annoying, Donald's voice can be sometimes unintentionally funny for some people, especially in the international language dubs.

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?
