Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a fun American animated TV show. It helps young kids learn and solve problems. Disney Television Animation created this series, with Disney expert Bobs Gannaway leading the way.
The show aired 125 episodes from May 5, 2006, to November 6, 2016. It was shown on the Disney Channel's preschool block, which was first called Playhouse Disney and later Disney Junior. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse became the longest-running original series on that block. Critics gave it good reviews.
A new version of the show, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, was announced on August 18, 2023. It is planned to be released on July 21, 2025, on Disney Jr. and Disney+.

How the Show Works
In each episode, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto go on an adventure. They ask viewers to help them solve problems. This helps kids think and find solutions during the story.
When a problem comes up, Mickey asks viewers to join him at the Mousekedoer. This is a big computer shaped like Mickey's head. Its main job is to give Mickey the "Mouseketools" he needs. These tools help him reach the goal of the episode.
One of the tools is a "Mystery Mouseketool," shown by a question mark. You don't know what it is until it's chosen. Then, it changes into the tool needed for the situation.
After all the Mouseketools are shown, they are quickly sent to Toodles. Toodles is a small, flying helper shaped like Mickey's head. When Mickey calls "Oh, Toodles!", he appears. Viewers then pick the right tool for the problem.
The show features two original songs by the band They Might Be Giants. The opening song uses a special chant ("Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse!") to make the Clubhouse appear. The closing song, "Hot Dog!", is a nod to Mickey's first words in an old cartoon from 1929.
After the show ended in 2016, new series continued the adventures. These included Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers (2017-2021) and Mickey Mouse Funhouse (starting in 2021).

Making the Show

Bill Farmer, who voices Goofy and Pluto, mentioned in 2014 that they had stopped recording new dialogue. However, he said there were still many new episodes to air because of the long time between recording and broadcasting. The final episode aired in 2016.
