New Mickey Mouse Club Recruits at MIPCOM

Buena Vista International Television (BVITV) today introduced the new CG-animated preschool show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to international TV buyers at MIPCOM in Cannes. The big-eared leader of the band himself made an appearance to help promote the learning-based series, which is slated to premiere on Disney Channels worldwide in spring 2006 and will be available for terrestrial broadcasters in September 2006.

In addition to the titular icon, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will feature such classic Disney characters as Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto. Set in a colorful clubhouse environment, the song-filled show will have Mickey asking for viewers’ help with tasks such as deciphering picture puzzles and identifying shapes, patterns and numbers in order to solve practical problems such as what to do when Goofy’s bouncy ball is out of control, or when Donald has turned into a frog and needs a kiss from Princess Daisy to return him to his natural state.

Mickey Mouse Club is a production of Walt Disney Television Animation. Series exec producer Roberts Gannaway has created and produced some of Walt Disney Television Animation’s most successful series of the past decade, including the Emmy Award-winning Disney’s Mickey MouseWorks and 101 Dalmatians: The Series, as well as Disney’s House of Mouse.
