Disney Junior Readies Mickey Mouse Funhouse

Production has begun on Disney Junior’s Mickey Mouse Funhouse, an animated series for preschoolers and their families featuring Mickey Mouse as well as Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto.

The series introduces an enchanted talking playhouse named Funny, who leads the six pals on imaginative adventures. Geared to kids ages 2 to 7 and their families, episodes of Mickey Mouse Funhouse will feature 2×11-minute stories with a dance break in between. The show is slated to bow in 2021.

A production of Disney Television Animation, Mickey Mouse Funhouse will demonstrate imaginative play, encourage wish fulfillment and impart age-appropriate social and emotional lessons about friendship, creativity and ingenuity. Phil Weinstein is executive producer, Thomas Hart is co-executive producer and supervising story editor and Mark Drop is story editor. Alan Bodner serves as art director, while Beau Black is the series composer and will co-write the original songs with Loren Hoskins.

Joe D’Ambrosia, senior VP of original programming and general manager for Disney Junior, said: “Preschoolers around the world love Mickey Mouse and friends, and we are eager to showcase these beloved characters as they are transported to magical new destinations in each episode, encouraging kids to expand their own worlds using their imaginations. We can’t wait for our young audience to meet Funny, who is a dynamic and playful addition to the treasured world of Mickey Mouse.”
