Mickey Mouse Funhouse is an American CGI-animated children's television series created by Phil Weinstein and Thomas Hart and is a spin-off of Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures. The series debuted with a special on July 16, 2021, and was followed by the official premiere on Disney Junior on August 20.[1][2][3] In October 2021, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiere on November 18, 2022.[4] In June 2022, the series was renewed for a third season.[5]

Disney Junior created the series to continue its pattern of original pre-school animated series set within the Mickey Mouse universe. Many key members of the creative team of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures developed the series.

Premise

Mickey Mouse returns with his friends Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto. The friends meet Funny, an enchanted, talking, and energetic playhouse.[6] Funny magically transports the group of friends to a range of destinations which allows them to embark on adventures unique to that land.[6] He can also change his shape and appearance to match the new surroundings, and can even project his face on any surface to communicate with Mickey and friends.[6]

Production

Development

Mickey Mouse Funhouse begun production in 2020, a new animated series which was to premiere on the network Disney Junior in 2021.[50] Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series was developed by executive producer Phil Weinstein, as well as co-executive producer Thomas Hart, and story editor Mark Drop, who had previously worked on Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures as part of the creative team.[50] The new series introduced an additional character, Funny.[50] Each episode of the series features two 11-minute stories separated by a regular "dance break" interlude.[50] On October 19, 2021, Disney Junior renewed the series for a second season.[4] On June 15, 2022, Disney Junior renewed the series for a third season.[5]

Casting

This show notably marked the last time that Will Ryan voiced Willie the Giant before his death in November 2021.
