Everybody says that this show is "dumb" and "sappy"

But it's a kids show, it's suppose to be entertain little kids, say 2-6.

And yes it's not perfect, but overrall, it's just harmless

I am 18, and a huge fan of Disney. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is not their best show, plus it is not even close to the classic Silly Synphonies, but it is light years from their worst. Sure it can have its predictable moments, but it is better than it's made out to be. I often see it criticised for being a rip-off of Dora the Explorer. True, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse uses the talk-to-the-camera technique, but so do other shows even before Dora. And I may get some flack for this opinion, but I think this is better than Dora. Dora I find annoying and repetitive, and other than counting to one to ten in Spanish I learnt little from it.

Back to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The stories can be predictable and the dialogue overly-simplistic. Plus the pacing of the episodes can be rushed or draggy. However, I liked the animation. It has been criticised for being rough, robotic and lacking variety. Maybe so at first, but I for one think it improved. The backgrounds are colourful and bright, the colours are nice and the character designs are fairly good. The clubhouse actually looks very interesting in my view. The music is pretty decent too. The theme song is simple but memorable, and the accompanying music is decent enough. I personally thoroughly enjoy the Hot Dog Dance, and liked its imaginative and funny name.

I also liked the social and creative skills that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse teaches children. Children I think will be delighted by the fun that goes into this show(I have toddler friends who adore this show), adults mayn't be so impressed, but the look on their child's faces will say it all as they learn new skills in every episode. The characters are engaging enough for the target audience. Mickey, despite the criticism he smiles too much contrary to his more mischievous persona in the original cartoons, is very benevolent and an ideal character for children to at least relate to. Goofy is still funny, and Minnie and Daisy are interesting without being too vapid. My only disappointment character-wise is Donald, I don't hate him far from it, but I would have liked to seen more of his cantankerous personality that made him so funny yet endearing in the originals. Morever, the voice acting from the late Wayne Allwine, Bill Farmer, Tony Alselmo, Russi Taylor and Tress MacNeille is rock solid.

To conclude, it is a good show but no classic. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse returns to the old roots of Disney itself, with morals and lessons, and teaching about helping others, in a fun and energetic way that is very conducive to learning from children. This is something I feel Walt would be proud to write his name to. I hope this series never gets canceled! All of the famous characters from Disney Lore are represented here in the show, and the animation is spot on, and fun, but not overdone. Some of the voices are pretty "close" to their originals, unfortunately a lot of the voices can't be possibly copied (Chip and Dale, etc.) because the character went "out of production" so many years ago, and Paul Frees is unfortunately passed. However, for wholesome family entertainment, this is probably the best bang for your buck today.

I've seen lots of people hate this show and MMC doesn't deserve it. It's Dora the Explorer done correctly. Mickey doesn't yell at the viewer and act annoying like Dora does which makes him way more engaging to me as a kid. He's more calm and patient with the viewers like Steve was on Blues Clues. However there are some scenes where the interactivity can be kinda pointless and some scenes that audience interaction could be needed. The rest of the characters like Goofy, Donald and Minnie Mouse are still there charming selves we have known for years. Toodles is a pretty cool gadget who gives Mickey, the audience and his friends the items they need to solve problems and this show is way more educational than Dora by a long shot. This show had the usual letters, shapes, colors and numbers and whatnot but it expanded its curriculum including fractions, science and really basic multiplication and division for a preschool show.

This a great kids show! They love counting with them, calling for the toolbox and answering all the questions Mickey asks. "MISKA MOOSKA MICKEY MOUSE" they love it! The say it all the time when the show comes on! It gets the kids involved with the show. They stand up and dance or will jump up and count with Mickey. 2 yr old children thru preschoolers will love it! Many preschool concepts are covered. Shapes, colors, helping others and numbers. We have TiVo and it comes in handy. I hope they keep adding new episodes! I do think it is great that Mickey Mouse has a cartoon that is for younger viewers.
