first Mickey Mouse series created specifically for preschoolers, premieres in the U.S. during a special primetime presentation May 5 at 7:30 pm on Disney Channel and, in its regular timeslot, May 6 9:00 am during the learning-focused Playhouse Disney programming block. The half-hour series also premieres in a coordinated global launch, on 22 Disney Channels and five Playhouse Disney channels across North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Japan — reaching some 100 countries.

Produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, this first 3D computer-animated TV series starring Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Daisy Duck and Donald Duck features character designs referential to classic 1940s drawings. Overseas animation was done by DQ Studios in India.

In each episode of MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE, Mickey and his pals go on captivating capers in a fun-filled interactive world that blend humor, classic storytelling and lively music with early-learning fundamentals. The series is designed to introduce problem solving and early mathematics skills to preschoolers in a fun way. Mickey speaks directly to young viewers, asks questions and encourages them to play games, participate in special phrases or cheers, and to solve puzzles to reach a goal.

Storylines often feature a re-telling of a classic fairy tale such as Jack & the Beanstalk, starring Donald Duck, or Little Red Riding Hood starring Minnie Mouse. Recurring characters include Professor Von Drake, Clarabelle Cow, Chip & Dale and Mickey’s perennial nemesis, Pete the Cat.

Every episode, Mickey invites viewers to join him calling out the “magic” phrase, “Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse!” which then causes the mouse-shaped structure that serves as the series’ shape-shifting home base to magically appear. Mickey introduces a daily theme and asks viewers at home to help in interactive problem-solving adventures. Mickey and the audience are helped by a retro-futuristic computer, called the Mousekedoer, by the helpful Mouseketools and by the transportable device called Toodles — playful gizmos and gear that reinforce the series’ early-learning concepts.

After successfully completing each adventure, the Sensational Six return to the Clubhouse, where Mickey recaps the fun activities and lessons learned with the celebratory “Hot Dog!” song.

Exec producer of MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE is Bobs Gannaway (MICKEY MOUSEWORKS, Disney’s HOUSE OF MOUSE and 101 DALMATIANS: THE SERIES). Leslie Valdes is producer and story editor with Rob LaDuca and Sherie E. Pollack directing. Music is composed by Michael Himelstein and Michael Turner. Staff story writers include Ashley Mendoza, Catherine A. Lieuwen and Jeffrey E. Borkin.

Wayne Allwine provides the voice of Mickey Mouse, Russi Taylor is Minnie Mouse, Bill Farmer does Goofy and Pluto, Tony Anselmo is Donald Duck and Tress MacNeille voices Daisy Duck and Chip & Dale. Recurring cast includes Corey Burton as Professor Von Drake, April Winchell as Clarabelle Cow, Jim Cummings is Pete the Cat, Will Ryan does Willie the Giant and Frank Welker is Figaro.

The series’ opening theme and its recurring “Hot Dog!” song are written and performed by the Grammy Award-winning rock group They Might Be Giants. “The Mousekedoer Song” is written by Michael Rubin and performed by Mickey Mouse.

Curriculum advisors are Dr. Renee Cherow O’Leary for Playhouse Disney plus Debbie Jaffee and Iris Sroka, Ph.D., hypothesis, for the series.

The “Daisy-Bo-Peep” premiere episode features Daisy Duck has lost Little Bo Peep’s sheep. Mickey hatches a plan to locate the wandering animals. While Mickey and young viewers are using their counting, shape and color recognition skills to round up Daisy’s sheep, Donald Duck and Goofy get into some comical mishaps. They employ some handy Mouseketools, and help from chipmunk “guest stars” Chip and Dale, to find all the sheep.

“Mickey and the ‘Sensational Six’ have entertained kids for generations, and we’re thrilled to introduce them to an entirely new audience of preschoolers,” said Gary Marsh, president, entertainment, Disney Channel Worldwide. “Their playful spirit appeals to the kid in all of us, and kids, parents, grandparents and caregivers alike will enjoy seeing their favorite childhood characters come to life in these new clubhouse adventures that also teach important learning skills.”
