Mickey Mouse Funhouse is an upcoming American computer-animated children's television series. The series debuted with a special on July 16, 2021, and will be followed by the official premiere on Disney Junior and Disney Channel on August 20, 2021.[1][2][3]

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 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 playhouse.[4] Funny magically transports the group of friends to a range of destinations which allows them to embark on adventures unique to that land.[4] 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.[4] The characters also interact with the viewers in a similar manner to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.[citation needed]

On October 1, 2020, Disney Junior announced that production had begun on Mickey Mouse Funhouse, a new animated series to premiere on the network in 2021.[11] 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.[11] The new series would introduce an additional character, Funny.[11] Each episode of the series would feature two 11-minute stories separated by a regular "dance break" interlude.[11]

Harvey Guillén was announced to be voicing the new character Funny, an enchanted talking playhouse, on June 16, 2021.[4]
