Mickey Mouse cartoons are being reinvented in a new way

The youngest Disney fans will love this news!

Playdate Event

Kids love Disney Junior! I (Monica) have such fond memories of my kids watching Doc McStuffins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Vampirina. Some old and new favorites are currently part of a special event taking place at Disneyland.

Disney Junior & Friends Playdate is a three-day event celebrating the magical, entertaining and music-filled stories of Disney Junior’s hit series. It will bring the magic straight to preschoolers and their families!

The event runs August 18-20 at Disney California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0

During this 3-day event, we are beginning to hear of new Disney Junior news, and that includes a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0! In the next round of Disney Junior’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0 (working title), Mickey and pals welcome everyone back to the clubhouse for all-new adventures filled with songs, laughs, handy helping, and fun new surprises.

The new series will see the clubhouse expanding with a brand-new area just for Minnie. Plus we will even get to see Duffy the Disney Bear, Mickey’s trusted teddy bear, who will make surprise appearances in multiple episodes. The series originally premiered in 2006, and new episodes will air in 2025.

Duffy will be a part of the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Halloween Show News

On October 1, we have a new Halloween stop-motion special to get us in the mood for spooky season. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy are trick-or-treating when Donald sees the spookiest mansion. He’s convinced it has the best treats, but the owner casts a spell that turns them into their costumes!

You can find it on Disney Junior, Disney Channel, and Disney XD on October 1 at 7:00 PM EDT and Disney+ the following day. Check out the trailer below:

SuperKitties will debut a full-length Halloween episode on September 25. The superhero kitties are on a mission to track down the theft who is taking all of the Halloween treats.

In the Pupstruction Halloween episode, Bobby Boots think he wasn’t invited to the Halloween party, and Tank doesn’t think he is brave enough to build a haunted house. Catch it on Disney Junior at 7:00 PM on September 27 (it also streams on Disney+ the same day).

A Rosh Hashanah-themed episode of Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends, Gobby steals all the bees, so Team Spidey and The Thing must get them back to save Rosh Hashanah. It premieres on September 15, and you can catch it on Disney+ shortly after.

Mickey Mouse Funhouse will air Halloween-themed episode on September 26. The storyline of the episode follows Mickey and his friends off to Halloweenville to see scientist Von Drake’s newest invention. On October 6, Mickey and the gang discover the Grand Pumpkin and must return it before it rots. Then, Panchito invites everyone to celebrate Dia de los Muertos!

Casting News

We previously shared that Disney+ is working on a preschool series starring Ariel. You can read more about it HERE.

The treasures Ariel finds help her solve problems. In a play that looks set to charm pre-schoolers, when she makes a discovery, Ariel is filled with joy, and her mermaid tail, “which changes colors depending on her emotions, lights up and shimmers.”

Mykal-Michelle Harris (Ariel), Tay Diggs (King Triton), and Amber Riley (Ursula) will all participate in the series as voice actors.
