Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to talk about Disney’s House of Mouse for its 25th anniversary.
Disney’s House of Mouse is a crossover animated series on Disney’s One Saturday Morning on ABC. It premiered on January 13, 2001 and ran for 52 episodes. It also had two direct-to-video movies. It finished its run on Toon Disney on October 24, 2003.
On the show, Mickey Mouse (Wayne Allwine) hosts a dinner theater called the House of Mouse, which serves as a hangout for characters from Disney’s various properties. Acting as the staff are Mickey’s friends, including Minnie (Russi Taylor), Donald (Tony Anselmo), Daisy (Tress MacNeille), Goofy and Pluto (both Bill Farmer). Mickey’s rival and the club’s landlord Pete (Jim Cummings) often tries to shut down the club.
The show contains short gag cartoons in between the episode’s main story, many borrowed from Mickey Mouse Works, another One Saturday Morning series.
The show was nominated for multiple awards. It won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation (for Chris Roszak) and an Annie Award for Outstanding Voice Acting in an Animated Television Production (for Corey Burton).
Aaron and Josh discuss their histories with the show before going into the premise, humor, and its use of different Disney characters. They also mention how the show is not currently on Disney+.
