Disney's BIGGEST Animation Crossover Deserves Better

It's a crime that the series isn't even on Disney+ yet, this is literally the most requested Disney Channel series that people have been waiting for years to see.

After having watched “Once Upon A Studio”, I want a reboot of “House Of Mouse” more than ever, so we can see recent characters interact with past characters. That would be cool!

I think the real reason House of Mouse ended was simply that they had no more Mouse Works cartoons to redistribute rather than the show not being successful. This show aired in reruns for the remainder of the decade on Disney Channel and Toon Disney and pretty much every late millenial/early zoomer (aka people my age) who grew up on this show still remembers it very fondly, it's one of Mickey's most beloved iterations. Always a fun show to go back to regardless though!

A club/restaurant where you watch classic cartoon shorts on a giant screen has always been my dream and always wished Disney would make a real one.

Just hearing Disney trying to modernize Mickey by actually by making a new series starring him is mindblowing.

House of Mouse and Once Upon A Studio are truly one of the most ambitious crossover events in animation's history.

My dad was one of the Background Supervisors for The House of Mouse, he worked on all the episodes. Fond memories growing up to the show and seeing it from behind the scenes. He passed away in 2015 but being able to watch these episodes have always been more than nostalgia for me so I'm glad that kids who grew up on it are clamoring for these to be on Disney+.

We need a House of Mouse revival. Who's with me?

I personally think Minnie and Daisy had the most personality in this series.

Fun fact: Mickey Mouse Works actually debuted the exact same day as SpongeBob.

Considering 19 Disney films have been released since this show went off the air, I'd love to see a revival--plus it'd be neat to have shorts involving the film characters along with Mickey and the gang.

When he mentioned Disney’s rivals, he was referring to the other five Hollywood Giants: Warner Bros., Sony, Paramount Global (or Viacom, as it was called in the 2000s) & NBCUniversal (or just Universal Studios). In case y’all are wondering, around the time of the House of Mouse’s airing, Warner Bros. had Cartoon Network & Adult Swim, Sony gave us Sony Pictures Animation, Viacom had Nickelodeon, and Universal Studios had The Land Before Time. And let’s not forget about DreamWorks, who became another one of Disney’s biggest rivals with Shrek, and 20th Century Fox, who gave us Ice Age.

One of the things I remember about the show is that they did reuse animations bit. The ones I remember them reusing are Donald trying to stop a stampeding crowd from leaving only to get trampled, Mickey saying “that’s all folks” before correcting himself, and Minnie telling Horace to hit it follows by Horace hitting the DVD player with a hammer.

This quote is very important: Surprisingly, the studio, which in the recent past had been as diligently protective of its iconic characters as it was hesitant to intermingle the different character sets, came to embrace the notion. “Everybody thought it was really funny to loosen up a bit and let the characters be who they were and have some fun, instead of being so stiff,” Craig says. “At the very early stages the meetings and presentations were interesting,” Blumberg admits. “But as we pursued the idea, the people who might have had a problem with it were satisfied that everybody was being treated with respect and that everybody was being true to their characters. Hades and Ariel may occupy the same space, but they’re going to be themselves.” Gannaway and Craig have deliberately avoided using characters that are inherently dramatic, such as Quasimodo and Frollo from the animated film “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

Now I want a HOM revival more than ever after seeing once upon a studio!

I wanna see a Disney+ reboot/revival of House of Mouse, but with lots more Disney characters including some from newer movies! It could also include characters from various Disney TVA cartoons from Gravity Falls to Kim Possible to Amphibia to other shows!

Early 2000’s kid here— when YouTube first became popular, I would log onto my mom’s old computer and watch House of Mouse for hours. I still VIVIDLY remember the episode where the villains took over and sang some song that was honestly pretty badass. It was wonderful growing up on the show. It’s a crime it’s not on Disney+.

My favorite episode of house of mouse was when Peter Pan yeeted Donald in the fricking sky while singing and he rhymed beak with aerodynamic 💀

I think it's interesting that Disney Channel actually did another concept similar to House of Mouse since the 2020s... the concept of packaging older shorts in a single 22-minute episode and use wraparound segments with a plot to stitch them together, that is. Starting with 2022, Disney Channel will occasionally release an episode of Chibiverse, which puts a handful of the various Chibi Tiny Tales shorts they've made since 2020 into one episodes, with the wraparound segments centering around one of the Chibis presenting a show to the other Chibis while a problem occurs that they have to solve. The Chibis themselves are chibi versions of a wide variety of Disney Channel series characters, mostly comprising of those from the current Disney Channel age like Owl House or Ghost and Molly McGee, popular ones like Kim Possible or Phineas and Ferb, or live-action DCOMs like ZOMBIES or Descendants; but they occasionally have characters from older shows like Gargoyles as well. The Chibi Tiny Tales shorts also center around current Disney Channel shows. Chibiverse is somewhat similar to House of Mouse in a way that the characters are all crossing over in a shared universe, they are presenting a show to each other, and said show also consists of shorts that have been released earlier; but all the characters are presented in a chibi-like artstyle (hence why live-action characters are possible here), and some characters have been made less complex. Disney Channel has released a couple of other 22-minute things that are comprised of other shorts, with wraparound segments from only one of their current shows (usually something with Shorts-tacular in their name or something), and some of their current series of shorts (such as Broken Karaoke) also allow for crossovers in the characters' respective original artstyle. Not really true revivals of House of Mouse, but similar concepts.

If House of Mouse ever showed up on Disney+ Then It would be the only few Times that the Br'ers will ever be on Disney+ aside from stuff like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Lion King 1½.
