Mickey Mouse Funhouse

It's nothing too new or too different. It's just your classic Mickey Mouse cartoon like Roadster Racers and Mixed-Up Adventures. Although Funny the Funhouse is annoying, even when I watched only 7 minutes of the show. That's my only complaint.

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.

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.

Summary: Yet another Mickey Mouse series. Think of it as like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but with less interactivity and the same animation as Roadster Racers/Mixed-Up Adventures. Made because Disney needs to have Mickey.

Writing: Much better writing than Clubhouse, because it feels more organic and natural compared to the interactivity of Clubhouse. The first episode "Mickey the Brave", is surprisingly clever. The Sensational Six debate on whether or not dragons are good or bad. Some of the characters, like Clarabelle and Pete, think that all dragons are bad just because one dragon was bad to them. And as it turns out, Farfus didn't mean any harm. He only wanted to play. It gives a strong message that you should get to know people without judging them. One person is not representative of an entire group. And there's always an underlying cause for things. 2/2

Characters: The show is a major step-up from previous incarnations because Mickey isn't self-centered. Not everything is themed after him. The rest of the Sensational Six are written normally. There's also a new character named Funny, who is the titular Funhouse. He's like Toodles but he's a house. However, I'm not fond of him so far. He's just a deus ex machina. 1/2

Music: The music in the show is generally unremarkable, except for some moments that use the signature Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme - M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E. I find that quite clever. 1/2

Animation: Pretty excellent animation. It serves to show that CGI has come a long way since 2006, and is very colorful. 2/2

Voice Acting: All the signature voice actors are back. And Minnie's new voice actress is a great replacement for Russi Taylor. That's all there is to say, 2/2

In total, 8/10. I recommend this to young Mickey fans and older Disney cartoon fans.

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.
