Chronology
Preceded by Mickey's Mouse Tracks
Followed by House of Mouse

Disney's Mickey Mouse Works (also known as Disney's MouseWorks or simply Mickey Mouse Works) is an animated TV show from the United States. It was made by Walt Disney Television Animation. The show features Mickey Mouse and his friends in many different cartoons and mini-cartoons.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and Ludwig Von Drake all have their own cartoon stories. Other characters like Horace Horsecollar, Clarabelle Cow, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Chip 'n' Dale, Scrooge McDuck, Peg Leg Pete, Jose Carioca, Panchito Pistoles, and Clara Cluck also appear. Stephen James Taylor created special music for each character. The show's music was even nominated for an Annie Award in 1999 and 2001!

About the Show

Disney's Mickey Mouse Works was made to feel like the old, classic Disney cartoons. The creators used simple colors and original sound effects. This helped the show look and feel like the very first Disney cartoons.

Each episode had different MouseWorks cartoons and mini-cartoons. Their lengths varied a lot, from just 19 seconds to 12 minutes. There were three main types of shorts:

  • 1-minute MouseWorks mini-cartoons: These were very short and quick.
  • 6-minute MouseWorks cartoons: These were longer, regular cartoons.
  • 11-minute MouseTales: These were special cartoons based on famous stories.

The show featured cartoons starring Mickey Mouse, Silly Symphony, Mickey, Donald & Goofy, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Goofy. This continued the tradition of older Disney short films.

The 1-minute MouseWorks mini-cartoons had fun names like:

  • Mickey to the Rescue: Mickey tries to save Minnie from tricky situations.
  • Maestro Minnie: Minnie leads an orchestra of musical instruments.
  • Goofy's Extreme Sports: Goofy tries out exciting and sometimes silly extreme sports.
  • Donald's Dynamite: Donald's activities are often interrupted by a surprise bomb!
  • Von Drake's House of Genius: Ludwig Von Drake shows off his inventions, which usually go wrong.
  • Pluto Gets the Paper: Pluto faces funny problems while trying to get the newspaper for Mickey.

The show was designed to feel like a continuous flow of cartoons. The opening credits even changed each week, except for a funny interruption from Donald Duck.

Each MouseWorks cartoon focused on different characters. In Mickey, Donald & Goofy cartoons, the three friends often ran a special service. Goofy cartoons were usually "how-to" guides, with a narrator explaining things. Donald Duck cartoons showed him trying to do something, but it almost always went wrong, making him very frustrated!

Meet the Characters

Main Characters

  • Mickey Mouse (voiced by Wayne Allwine): He is the main hero of the show. Mickey often gets into funny troubles, but he always has a good heart and finds a way to succeed.
  • Minnie Mouse (voiced by Russi Taylor): Minnie is Mickey's girlfriend. She can get annoyed by Mickey's mischief, Daisy's loudness, or Goofy's silly mistakes. She is usually very sensible.
  • Donald Duck (voiced by Tony Anselmo): Donald is one of Mickey's friends. He is famous for his very short temper. He often gets angry when things don't go his way.
  • Daisy Duck (voiced by Tress MacNeille): Daisy is Donald's girlfriend. She also has a fiery temper, but she is usually better at controlling it than Donald.
  • Goofy (voiced by Bill Farmer): Goofy is another one of Mickey's friends. He isn't the smartest character, and his silly actions often make his friends frustrated. But even though he can be clumsy, he is very brave.
  • Pluto (voiced by Bill Farmer): Pluto is Mickey's loyal dog. He can sometimes be aggressive towards other animals, especially cats and Pete's dog, Butch.
  • Ludwig Von Drake (voiced by Corey Burton): He is a very smart duck who loves to invent things. However, he can also be quite forgetful and absent-minded.

Villains

  • The Phantom Blot (voiced by John O'Hurley): This mysterious shadow wants to steal all the colors from the world. He wants to leave everything in black and white.
  • Peg Leg Pete (voiced by Jim Cummings): Pete is Mickey's rival. He is often rude and annoying. As the show went on, he became a bit more simple and clumsy.
  • Mortimer Mouse (voiced by Maurice LaMarche): Mortimer is Mickey's sneaky rival. He acts charming but is often annoying and rude. He likes to flirt with Minnie or Daisy. His famous saying is "Hot-cha-cha!"

How the Show Was Made

When Mickey Mouse Works was replaced by House of Mouse in January 2001, many of the MouseWorks cartoons and mini-cartoons were shown again there. However, the original way the show was put together was never seen again.

Some MouseWorks mini-cartoons were even shown in movie theaters before Disney films between 1998 and 1999. These included:
