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 [[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|José Carioca]]''). 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:

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 [[ABC]] Kids in September 2002. As a result, ''House of Mouse'' was taken off of [[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''.
