House of Mouse

[Snoopy Fan 201]

Does anypony remember the old Disney show, House of Mouse? I remember it being my first exposure to Mickey Mouse, and a lot of Disney properties in general. The show ran from 2001 to 2003 was about Mickey and the crew running a night club called the House of Mouse (hence the name of the show) where all of Disney characters that were created by that point come together to watch Mickey cartoons. Most of the cartoons shown were reruns from Mickey Mouse Works which ran from 1999 to 2000, but on rare occasions they would play cartoons from the golden age of Disney. In the show’s first episode, The Stolen Cartoons, Pete buys the building and tells Mickey and Friends to get out, however he can’t do that as long as they put on a show, so Pete’s always out to sabotage the show so he can kick Mickey and the gang out. The show only ever had two VHS and DVD releases, and they were two direct to video movies, Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse from 2001, and Mickey’s House of Villains from 2002. In Mickey’s Magical Christmas, everyone is snowed in and can’t go home for Christmas, so Mickey decides to throw a Christmas party for everyone, however, Donald doesn’t have the Christmas spirit, but Mickey tries to change that. Then in House of Villains, most of the Disney villains that were created by that point come together to take over the club on Halloween night. And for some reason, they made Jafar from Aladdin the leader of the villains. I don’t have a problem with that, Jafar is one of my favorite Disney villains, I just find it strange that they went with him and not Pete or maybe even Maleficent. If I had to guess why they went with Jafar, maybe it was because 2002 was the 10 year anniversary of Aladdin. Just like the show, the movies included Mickey cartoons, however they went with holiday themed cartoons. (Christmas and Halloween respectively) In fact, Mickey’s Magical Christmas included Mickey’s Christmas Carol as a part of its lineup. Fun Fact: That’s actually how I experienced Mickey’s Christmas Carol for the first time. I know that there are some people that want House of Mouse on Disney+, myself included, but I think it’s on YouTube, or at least it was at one point. I still watch Mickey’s Magical Christmas and House of Villains every Christmas and Halloween season.
