|'''[[Mickey Mouse]]'''}}
In 1998, the stars of the [[Classic Disney Shorts]] returned to starring in regular cartoon shorts. But rather than being made to play right before selected movies in theaters (although a few of them actually premiered there anyway), these new cartoons were going to be shown alongside other Disney cartoons like ''[[Recess]]'' and ''[[Pepper Ann]]''. [[Mickey Mouse]] and the gang's new show, titled '''''Mickey MouseWorks''''', made its debut on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s One Saturday Morning programming block on May 1, 1999. It followed a [[Three Shorts]] format, with each five-minute short starring one of Mickey's gang, and even mixing characters who rarely, if ever, interacted in the older cartoons (i.e. Mickey taking care of [[Donald Duck]]'s nephews or Mickey trying to impress [[Minnie Mouse]] when he thinks she's leaving him for ''[[Saludos Amigos

Sometimes, the characters starred in newly-made installments of the ''[[Silly Symphonies]]'', in which the stories were set entirely to music and without dialogue. [[Once Per Episode]], there would also be one or two 90-second gag shorts with the following umbrella titles:
----
* '''Mickey to the Rescue''': Mickey breaks into [[Big Bad|Pete]]'s not-at-all-secret hideout to rescue Minnie from the traps within.
* '''Maestro Minnie''': Minnie conducts shortened musical pieces with a rather rebellious orchestra.
* '''Goofy's Extreme Sports''': Goofy performs extreme sports. [[Exactly What It Says
* '''Donald's Dynamite''': Someone apparently has it out for [[Donald Duck]], because he keeps finding lit bombs in the middle of his activities.
* '''Von Drake's House of Genius''': Ludwig Von Drake shows off his latest invention, which then backfires in some way. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
Line 15:
In addition, ''MouseWorks'' also occasionally ran shorts that ran twice the usual length, dubbed ''Mouse Tales'', in which the characters performed classic stories they hadn't already done adaptations for.
Reception to ''Mickey MouseWorks'' was generally mixed among the fans of the characters. There were folks who believed the show was indeed a worthy [[Spiritual Successor]] to the theatrical shorts it was based on, but there were others who complained that maybe Mickey and friends' new adventures were trying too hard to [[Follow the Leader|be like]] [[Looney Tunes
[[File:HouseOfMouse.jpg|frame]]
Regardless of what everyone thought of ''MouseWorks'', it received a major [[Retool|Retooling]] in the middle of its third season. On January 13, 2001, ''Mickey MouseWorks'' was replaced with a new series titled '''''Disney's House of Mouse''''', and this time, the cartoon shorts were being presented with a framing device.
The concept of ''House of Mouse'' was that Mickey and his friends were now running an eponymous nightclub, whose entertainment consisted of special musical guests and showing the cartoon shorts produced for ''MouseWorks'' (some of which had not aired previously) to an audience of Disney characters. The guests consisted almost entirely of characters from all of the [[Disney Animated Canon]] films up to 2001's ''[[Atlantis:
A recurring plot thread to ''House of Mouse'' was the threat of the nasty landlord, Pete. He intends to close and tear the House down (what he intends to construct in its place is never mentioned), but [[Failure Is the Only Option|this is a goal he cannot obtain]] because his contract states that he cannot tear the House down so long as Mickey and the gang have an audience to perform for. Thus, in almost every episode he's in, Pete hatches some [[Evil Scheme]] to drive the audience away, ranging from sabotaging the entertainment to contaminating the air conditioning with [[The Lion King
52 episodes of ''House of Mouse'' were produced, but only half of them were aired on One Saturday Morning before it was revamped and replaced with [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] Kids in September 2002. As a result, ''House of Mouse'' was taken off of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] and moved to the [[Disney Channel]] and [[Toon Disney]], where the remaining 26 episodes aired alongside the previously aired ones as well. During the show's run, a few ''MouseWorks'' shorts were packaged with some of the classic shorts onto video compilations, but had their title cards cut out and replaced with newly-made framing animation, and were advertised as two direct-to-video movies - ''Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse'' and ''Mickey's House of Villains''.
{{tropelist}}
=== The ''House'' segments provide examples of: ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]: The intro shows Little John and Baloo sharing a laugh. Both were voiced by the same actor in their films.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* [[Big Eater]]: Gus Goose, the chef. He has a tendency to eat food before it can get to the customers.
* [[Bumbling Dad]]: Goofy to Max, ''House of Mouse'' only.
* [[Brought to You
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Donald!
** Especially when one of Mike's Mickey-openers after the title sequence is "And now, better than Donald Duck in every way!"
** Also, a [[Running Gag]] is that [[The Aristocats
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Mickey states that one of the rules is "No guests eating other guests". Pumbaa then makes Timon spit out Jiminy Cricket.
* [[Casting Gag]]: Mike, the sentient microphone announcer for the show, was voiced by the late Rod Roddy, who was well known as an announcer, specifically on [[The Price Is Right]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Black-and-white character Dennis the Duck's catchphrase is "Have a sandwich!" In-universe it's famous enough that Daisy asked him to write it in her autograph book.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Pete as the landlord.
* [[Chain of Deals]]: Subverted in "Rent Day" -- Mickey wants a book to give to [[Beauty and
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Goofy.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: "Pete's Christmas Caper" and "Clarabelle's Christmas List", plus the aforementioned Christmas "movie".
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Just like in the comic books that the episode was based on, no one figures out that Super Goof is Goofy.
** Mickey eventually figures it out. Clarabelle thinks she worked out who he was, but wrongly guesses he's Dumbo based solely on the fact that they both fly and eat peanuts.
{{quote|
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: Both [[
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: If Goofy isn't being [[The Klutz|a klutz]], he's probably doing this.
* [[Couch Gag]]: Before the show's opening starts, Mike the Microphone usually says something that may relate to the episode about to be shown. For example, he said "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Disney's House of Mouse!" before the episode that featured Super Goof.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[Crossover Punchline]]: With ''[[Pepper Ann]]'' of all shows!
** "Don't touch the villain, dear."
* [[Cute Kitten]]: [[
* [[The Danza]]: Scrooge McDuck.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The magic mirror, but ''everyone'' gains a sharp tongue in this show.
** Also, the opening conversation of "Dining Goofy".

'''Wilhelmina Packard:''' [http://images.wikia.com/disney/images/0/0c/Wilhelmina_Packard_house_of_mouse.jpg (while in front of a WWII radio)] [[Sarcasm Mode|And this isn't hi tech, honey?.]] }}
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Mickey, Goofy, and Donald attempt to disguise themselves as the [[Paper-Thin Disguise|Quack Street Boys]]. This includes webbed feet and duckbills for all three.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: How Jafar is defeated in ''House of Villains''.
* [[Does He Have a Brother?|Does He Have A Sister?]]: Lumiere asks this of Daisy when she says she's dating Donald, whom she describes as "the third candelabra" (her mispronunciation of "caballero").
* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: Mix magic stew with Pixie dust.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: [[The Emperor's New School
* [[The Eeyore]]: He's in there. He even does stand-up!
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Evil Twin]]: Robo-Mickey and his robo-friends.
* [[Expy]]: Dennis the Duck is basically an avian version of [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]].
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
** [[The Brute]] - Ursula
** [[Dark Chick]] - Cruella de Vil
* [[Flanderization]]: Quite a bit for several of the movie characters (the most obvious one being Gaston, who's basically turned into a living [[Running Gag]]), mostly thanks to the many [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to their original movies.
* [[Fright Deathtrap]]
* [[Furry Confusion]]: And HOW!!!
* [[Furry Reminder]]: Two gags involve Mickey acquiring more mouse-like traits such as drinking out of giant water bottle and being asked if he needs a run on his exercise wheel. Another involves Donald wading through a flooded House of Mouse, quacking indiscriminately and tripping face first into the water as if he were a wild duck looking for food.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Why are Chip and Dale wearing bowties on ladies' night? Because they're the [[Just for Pun|Chip and Dale Dancers,]] of course! Cue swooning women in the audience.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: From [[Snow White and
* [[Go-Karting
** Jafar also gets a chance to save it. When Daisy [[How Do I Shot Web?|fails epically at magic]] and makes it disappear, Jafar shows up (he was late, which is why Daisy tried to do magic in the first place to replace his act) and sings a cover of [[Cinderella (Disney film)|Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]].
* [[Good Guy Bar]]
* [[Gossip Evolution]]: A compliment to Minnie uttered by Mickey, which he says he can be quoted on, turns into an insult to Minnie after this trope is through with it.
Line 96 ⟶ 97:
* [[Held Gaze]]: In the episode Max's Embarrassing Date, Max and Roxanne stare into each other's eyes before they [[Almost Kiss]], wherein Minnie interrupts them.
* [[Hey, You]]: Mushu in ''Dining Goofy''.
* [[The High Queen]]: From ''[[Atlantis:
** There's actually a main reason why she had to be shown in her queen dress at the end of the film: her princess outfit is actually too "adult" to be shown in a child-friendly show by Disney. Too bad [[Cree Summer]]'s not there to voice her.
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: The entire premise of ''House of Villains''.
Line 103 ⟶ 104:
** Hades comments on it in one episode. His attitude on the subject clearly hasn't changed since he and Jafar teamed up.
** Most of the dishes on the menu.
{{quote|
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Max has a hard time driving a car and narrowly avoids crashing into another car, whose occupant screams "Watch it, you maniac!" The other driver? [[101 Dalmatians
* [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It]]: Almost every Disney cartoon show has had "Disney's" prefacing the title, but ''House of Mouse'' is ''always'' referred to as '''''Disney's''' House of Mouse'' on [[
* [[Interactive Narrator]]: In the Goofy cartoons and in ''The Nutcracker''.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]
Line 111 ⟶ 112:
* [[Jail Bake]]: One cartoon has Mickey ask Goofy to do this after Mickey is locked in jail. The guard notices; and he and Goofy end up having a long discussion on how this wouldn't really work and what tools should have been used, ending with the guard concluding that the easiest way to escape would be to knock him out. The guard then proceeds to do so to himself.
* [[Jerkass]]: Pete, of course.
** Several of the guests and/or episode centric characters, particularly the ones related to Daffy Duck (Baby Shelby, Humphrey, the Aracuan [[Took a Level
** Most of the villains, though they're generally willing to be amiable. Sometimes. Just make sure you don't tick them off.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: In the episode where [[Timon and Pumbaa]] are the special guests, Simba (the star of [[The Lion King
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: King Larry, King Louie's twin brother, is used as Louis Prima's estate is entitled to royalties should King Louie make an animated appearance anywhere.
* [[Least-Common Pizza Topping]]: In the episode where Goofy had to teach Max how to be a waiter, he sings "Hold the anchovies!" about an order for Ariel.
Line 124 ⟶ 125:
* [[Musical Nod]]: A surprisingly large amount of them hidden in the background music - a great example: in the episode "Ladies Night" Minnie is the host instead of Mickey. When she comes out, the band plays an instrumental of "Minnie's Yoo-Hoo" that is easy to miss under the dialogue and sound effects. Plus, nearly every musical number in the show is a redone version of an older Disney song.
* [[My Hair Came Out Green]]: In one short, Minnie Mouse accidentally dyes Pluto's fur purple after mistaking a bottle of purple dye for shampoo. She then tries to find ways to get the purple dye off, including painting the dog with a can of "Pluto-colored Paint" (which is the same shade of orange as Pluto's fur).
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: After learning that Donald is one of [[
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Many jokes with the guests are references to their respective movies. There are also several jokes that reference the past works of Mickey and the rest of the staff, and there are a ton of gags hidden in the music.
** Seriously. Just try and count the number of Steamboat Willie jokes throughout the series.
** Or the number of sailor suit gags about Donald.
** Or the times Pete is either related to piracy or called "Peg-Leg."
* [[Negative Continuity]]: Guests at the ''House of Mouse'' aren't restricted to one specific form. [[The Lion King
** And Jafar can drive the Cave of Wonders, in spite of the original Cave of Wonders neither moving nor ''letting Jafar in''.
** Plus, for any ''[[Beauty and
*** In the first episode after Minnie said "The crowd is turning ugly.", Beast '''in his human form''' turns back into a beast.
** In one episode, Figaro is shown as Minnie's pet in the same show where his usual owner Geppetto is a regular.
Line 138 ⟶ 139:
* [[Not Actually the Ultimate Question]]: Used as a [[Running Gag]] with Horace Horsecollar.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
* [[Overly Long Name]]: Panchito of [[
* [[Parental Bonus]]: Many agree that [[Deadpan Snarker|Hades]] gets the wittiest and most mature dialogue.
** The Chip 'n Dale Dancers.
* [[Parody Commercial]]: Almost every episode ended with Mic performing one of these, announcing the fake product which had sponsored that particular episode. For example, there was "Disney Magic", a spritz which was guaranteed to make even the grouchiest person smile; the product was then demonstrated, transforming Grumpy the dwarf into Happy the dwarf.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Most of the Disney baddies appear to be these, at least in this show. When they're at the club, they're off the clock and -- for the most part -- are just relaxing.
** And even when they ''do'' do something bad, it doesn't even compare to the atrocities they committed in their respective films (for example, Jafar in the ''Mickey's House of Villains'' film merely uniting the other villains to take over the House of Mouse when in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', he tried to have the title character drowned.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Max uses these in order to finally get a car from Goofy.
* [[Read the Fine Print]]: It is repeatedly stated that as long as Mickey and company put on a show, they get to keep the club.
Line 150 ⟶ 151:
* [[Rebus Bubble]]: Mickey does this to figure out that Mortimer has played him for a sap.
* [[Recycled Premise]]: The show liked to use the plot of having one of Donald's trickster nemeses visit the club and run around causing mischief while nobody but Donald notices. [[Cassandra Truth|While he tries to tell everybody what's going on and stop it]] [[Humiliation Conga|he inevitably ends up getting injured and humiliated,]] [[Butt Monkey|in addition to being blamed for the trouble himself.]] Three of the episodes have this plot (using Humphrey Bear, Chip and Dale and the Aracuan), while a fourth have the plot with one of Donald's nemeses but with Mickey in Donald's place (the Baby Shelby episode), though Donald ends up being the butt of the joke in the end.
* [[Running Gag]]: Thomas O'Malley and the Alley Cats from ''[[
** Also "nobody (does X) like Gaston."
** Something happening to cause all the guests to leave in a rush, trampling Donald as he tries to stop them.
Line 157 ⟶ 158:
** Mr. Toad's insane driving, which often takes him crashing through the front doors and careening through the club. In one episode he gets in a high speed chase and ''arrested.''
* [[Scenery Censor]]: Goofy wrote the lyrics for a song he's singing on cards attached to various part of his body. He removes the clothes that hides these cards (including his [[Goofy Print Underwear]]) until the cards are the only thing hiding his dignity.
* [[Screw Yourself]]: Averted when Prof. Von Drake makes an [[Opposite
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: The Aracuan.
** And Dennis the Duck. "Have a sandwich!"
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Mickey intros a cartoon by saying, "Now here's a really great cartoon!" [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|This causes his nose to suddenly grow.]]
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Mickey uses this in order to appear more sophisticated.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To many of Disney's animated films, obviously.
** And a few to other media as well. For example, in a few cartoons Mickey yells [[Superman
** One of Pluto's shorts has him watching TV shows with the titles ''[[Darkwing Duck (
** Of all the films that were referenced in that show, ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' was referenced the most (33+ characters in all), while ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' was referenced the least (only one character, Tantor the elephant appeared).]
** One of the music numbers has the townspeople from "Beauty And The Beast" in a band as the "Angry Villager People" in a lengthy [[Village People]] [[Shout-Out]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Main Street Gossip.
Line 172 ⟶ 173:
* [[Stock Footage]]: Crowd applause shots are constantly reused as are a number of shots where Horace is told to "hit it".
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: Chernabog.
* [[Suicide
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: Several of the songs.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: King Larry, the so-called twin brother of King Louie from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]''.
* [[Take That]]: Two early episodes feature appearances by the Censor Monkeys, an obvious jab at the censorship that the [[Classic Disney Shorts]] (and [[Looney Tunes
* [[Thememobile]]: Several characters who didn't have a vehicle in their movie are given a thematic car in House of Mouse. When Jafar isn't utterly breaking canon by the aforementioned driving-the-Cave-of-Wonders, he has a snake car.
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Trope Formerly Known
** In another episode, Pete performs on stage and is referred to as "The Villain Formerly Known As [[Mythology Gag|Peg-Leg Pete."]]
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: There's a Hades/Maleficent episode. Hades wants to impress Maleficent and Mickey gives him advice that only makes the situation worse. But when Hades gets mad at Mickey and stops being nice, Maleficent likes him and the two of them leave together. It ends with Mickey giving the (rather [[Broken Aesop]]) message "Even if you're a bad-tempered lord of the underworld, you should always be yourself!"
** The same episode has a great [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Funny Moments]], when Hades emerges from Mickey's dressing room dressed as Mickey, which comes down to a Mickey Mouse hat, a pair of big shoes, big while gloves, and Mickey's red pants. And ''nothing else!'' [[Schmuck Bait|Here.]] [http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i135/octavius_rodens/horror.jpg Take a look].
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Both Gus Goose and Clara Cluck only communicate via honking and clucking sounds respectively.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Mickey uses these a lot for swearing. Sometimes exclaiming "[[Song of the South|Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!]]" or "Ah, [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Jiminy Cricket!]]" when he's frustrated.
* [[Villain Based Franchise]]: Because of the disastrous box office failure of ''[[
* [[Villain Song]]: [http://youtu.be/ZHO6K6KcV4s Boom da Boom, Boom Boom da Boom]
** Jafar gets his own one, too, and it must be seen to be believed. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUAFGwTwJR0 5:01 onwards]
Line 190 ⟶ 191:
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: "Mortimer, Mortimer, Mortimer Mouse" in House Of Mouse — was originally a song penned by Mortimer to sing his own praises, but Daisy, Clarabelle and Minnie reworked the lyrics because as they were, the audience was not buying it.
* [[Visual Pun]]: Happens quite a lot. For example, "The crowd is turning ugly!" (cue cut to Prince Adam turning back into a beast) and two line sketches saying that Mickey is lucky to be "overdrawn" because "We're not done yet!"
* [[What Happened to
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: The unhappy customers in "Dining Goofy".
** Also, the stew attack in "Goofy's Menu Magic".
* [[Witch
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Aside from being anthropomorphic, the technology in the house seems to run entirely on this. One time, the battery for the main power went dead, until being startled awake by the Minnie and co ''charging'' it. Another time, Pete's evil plan revolved around taking money the thermostat owed him until it was ''broke.''
** There could probably be a whole page devoted to puns in House of Mouse. Here's another example:
{{quote|
'''Pinocchio''': I slept like a log! }}
* [[You Meddling Kids]]: Pete quotes the ''[[Scooby
* [[You Say Tomato]]: The song "Me the Mouse and I'm the Duck".
=== The ''Mouseworks'' shorts provide examples of: ===
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The short "Dance of the Goofys" parodies a segment from ''[[Fantasia]]''.
Line 213 ⟶ 214:
* [[Canis Latinicus]]: Goofy, in a biking cartoon, is introduced as "Goofilious Bike-Pedalous".
* [[Can't Get Away With Nothing]]: Often, especially when it comes to Donald - as usual, the fates punish him for every transgression, overblown or otherwise. A good singular example involves Mickey, however - he finds an envelope on the ground and instead of trying to find the owner he buys a bow for Minnie. Immediately after he finds out that the money was for orphans in order to keep them from being kicked out on the street. Ouch. Hijinks ensue.
* [[Closer to Earth]]: Played straight with Minnie, played with with Daisy - both Donald and Daisy can play the more grounded in their relationship [[Depending
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: All of the characters have specific characterizations for their cartoons, which are consistent in show but somewhat different from what they've had previously. For example...
** Mickey becomes much more of a [[Straight Man]], as apposed to being [[The Everyman]] with [[Straight Man]] elements - in particular he gains quite a bit of [[Deadpan Snarker]] traits.
** Daisy's personality here is as being that self-centered and annoyingly childish/inconsiderate, but highly oblivious about it.
** The Aracuan [[Took a Level
** Donald's [[Butt Monkey]] traits are played up, way up.
* [[Couch Gag]]: Donald constantly tries to finish the ''Mickey MouseWorks'' title sequence with a display reading "[[Spotlight-Stealing Title|Starring Donald Duck]]", which always backfires in some way.
Line 230 ⟶ 231:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: The customer in the short "Organ Donors".
* [[Mickey Mousing]]: Of course.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted when Goofy asks a bunch of shadowy gangsters, "Please don't kill us."
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Goofy in most of his shorts.
* [[The Not-Secret]]: Phantom Blot's Hidden Hideout. It's at the White Pages!
Line 244 ⟶ 245:
* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]]: Mickey tries to call Minnie, but the recording says that all the lines are busy. Mickey gets upset, but the recording not only tells him to not yell, but to not smash the phone.
* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: Huey, Duey and Louie want to get on a ride in a theme park that Donald is guarding and says they're too small for. In one scene Donald sees a very tall woman wobbling about and approaching the ride. Donald stops the "woman" and rips off her dress to find [[Subverted Trope|she's just a really tall now naked unbalanced woman]]. Donald then gets punched in the face.
* [[Unmoving
* [[Visual Pun]]: In "Organ Donors", the toy maker explains to Mickey that he needs an organ (aka innards) after he explains this, Mickey exclaims that he has a screw loose. Then we see that the machine has a screw loose, which is then screwed tight.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: In "Mickey's Big Break", Mickey and Donald use the fact that they're only a few [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]] away from being Minnie and Daisy's twins in order to replace a picture that they ruined. Donald doesn't get it right the first time, though, because his first attempt at looking like Daisy has hair ''and [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|breasts larger than Daisy's!]]'' Mickey doesn't fare as well either, having a floppy ribbon bow and the wrong kind of shoes. Their second attempts hit much closer to home.
