Mickey Mouse Funhouse

Mickey and the Roaster Racer was SUCH a good show, why did they have to change it to mixed up adventures (which was okay but not awful) but this funhouse is not good, not good at all. It's way too repetitive, the funhouse talks and it's terrible. Toodles was an awful, annoying character from Clubhouse, and somehow the Funhouse is even MORE annoying. Is that an accomplishment? The adventures lack and are boring.

At first, I didn't really mind it. It wasn't anything special, just a new Mickey show trying to find its' place.

But it's definitely still finding it's place. It doesn't have the community of Roadster Racers and doesn't have the same charming magicalness of the clubhouse. I have the same issues as with late-season Toodles - why does Funny have to talk so much??? No one in my house finds him charming or enjoyable, I didn't mind him at first but oh boy does he get grating - especially since Disney Junior constantly plays the show. It as a whole doesn't seem to have charm, and the main 7 just seem so bland? I enjoy Daisy to a degree but it just. Gets so grating.

I didn't understand why people hated this one so much, but after 7 episodes I can completely understand why. It just feels so bland.

I actually really like this Mickey Mouse show! The songs are fun and the themes are innocent and wholesome. Yes, the house/Funny's voice and character isn't anything special, when I first heard it I thought it sounded a lot like Mickey's voice and was confused. But I think a couple of years later it works.

Ok something I can NOT get past is Daisy's new voice! Her new voice sounds so forced and fake, like trying too hard to sound like a duck, and completely lacks the personality and sassiness she had before! I cannot stand it. Distracts from the entire show. I hope they find someone new who can bring back the fun character voice she had before and not sound like someone is STRAINING to talk. It takes away from the whole show.

So I'm writing this as a person with a two year old. We don't watch that much tv but he gets about 30 minutes in the morning with dad in bed between mom going to work at 8 and dad has to work at 9. It's really not that bad but I feel I need to emphasize how much better Roadster racers and mixed up adventures were. I love the new adaptation of characters that are mainly for little kids but not dumb enough to make me answer questions directed at the tv. The characters have some sort of development despite it being one episode before another. Daisy especially was usually hilarious. But funhouse has all these horrible songs and back to a very confusing theme. Not a fan. It's better than clubhouse but not by much because now I have crazy songs.

Edit: bring back Daisy's voice! What the heck happened to Tress. So irritated to even listen to this.

Lacks the fun of the Mixed-Up Adventures and any learning that was in Clubhouse. It's a dulled down version of the new Mickey Mouse stuff for strictly younger audiences, but doesn't add any of the problem solving or secret learning from Clubhouse. So what was the point? To continue to isolate Mickey Mouse and friends from a wider audience?

The first episode tries to grab those who loved Roadsters with a superfluous ride and eollercoaster moment at the very beginning. And then the Hotdog dance and the upgraded theme are ruined my kid wasn't as interested in the show beginning. Then we have some convoluted reasons for our new friend Funny leaving behind all the great and interesting characters we developed in Hotdog Hills over the last 3 years.

But the worst absolute worst part is that stupid dance break music at the very end of the episode. If parents were indifferent to the rest If the episode that alone should ruin it for you.
