Each episode has the characters help viewers "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic skills, such as identifying shapes and counting to ten." The series uses Playhouse Disney’s "whole child" curriculum of cognitive, social and creative learning opportunities.
The Walt Disney Television Animation-produced program was initially announced March 1, 2005 by Gary Marsh, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, Disney ABC Cable Networks Group.
Mickey and friends previously appeared on television in Mickey Mouse Works (1999-2001) and Disney's House of Mouse (2001-2003).
