What bugs me about Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

WildcatPrincess

Besides Goofy being a moron, is Donald isn't angry. Did he go to anger management? Is he on meds? Did they decide he wasn't a good role model for toddlers? Because my kid still throw tantrums without seeing a cartoon duck do it first. I keep waiting for him to freak out and it has yet to happen.

Hmm, I've seen him put up a little stink but nothing major. What bugs me is poor Toodles is a slave to that group.

Also, in the original MM, Pete was a bad guy and now he's all chummy with the gang.

You're right what the hell happened to pissed off at the world Donald??

Manateearmz

What about the fact  that Donald is a creeper by not wearing pants? Or that both Goofie and Pluto are dogs, but only Pluto is treated like one.

I noticed that in the Christmas one he was super gift grabby.  Hmmmm..

My biggest problem  is that Mickey's a moron and everybody's lazy. 

"What?  Oh?  My playhouse isn't here?  I think I smoked too much pot last night and can't quite see it!  Say the magic words with me BS. BS. BS. :POOF!:"

I particularly like the episode when everyone freaks out because the machine that opens doors and flicks on light switches isn't working. BECAUSE THAT'S TOO MUCH GD WORK, HUH?  

And instead of getting a hose or watering can, Minnie and Daisy have to get a hot air balloon and seed the clouds for rain?  What kind of BS are they teaching our kids?

1). Get stoned.

2). Be lazy.

3). Make someone else do it for realz.

DH mentioned that too... they definitely toned him down.

We call it the Mick-tatorship because everything has to be Mouse this or that.

What gets me is how come Toodles always has  the right tools, I mean come on how did he really know that they needed an Elephant to dry them off???

HAHA! That's actually why I was never a big fan of Micky Mouse as a kid. My brother and I would scream at the tv, "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS, MICKEY!"

Do you the story behind the hot dog?  I learned it when we were waiting for the WDW marathon to start last year.  Apparently in his first speaking role, Mickey Mouse's first word was Hot Dog.

I am suddenly extremely happy we haven't watched this show in our house.

LOL. Donald is my favorite, I think he is still crabby. I agree with what everyone has said though.

I love the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and so does LO.  They know how to use their imagination!  That is what Mickey Mouse was always good at, even in the older cartoons.  I think a lot of kids don't use their imagination as much during play as we did as kids.  Sad.

DH said he would never let them babysit because they are always loosing something.

I think that 99.9% of kids' shows if examined closely would make the average mom stabby.

This can be best supported by turning the cartoon off halfway through and telling everyone to imagine what kind of RICHARDhead move Mickey will do next.

Snap his fingers and make the house service him?

Treat one dog like a dog and the other like a person?

Do some sort of magic spell to find a mountain of rubber duckies?  

 Call upon poor indentured Toodles for some "tool" that violates Ockum's Razor so clearly that we're all left scratching our heads? 

 

 

Seriously though - kids can be imaginative without a cartoon teaching them that.

This is one of the reasons I'm glad DS has no interest in the TV. MMCH drives me bananas.

This totally, and did anybody notice that in the sleepover episode, Donald's pajamas had a top AND pants.

 

I mean, he doesn't wear pants during the day.  Why only at night?

This show really drives me nuts. I hate what they did to the characters. My parents had the Disney channel when I was young. In the early to mid 80's they showed the original cartoons. I grew up watching those old cartoons. I also worked for Disney until I had my daughter and that show drives me nuts. I hate that the kids nowadays have no clue who Walt intended these characters to be. Makes me sad.

He puts on swim trunks with no shirt when he goes to the lake. I didn't get that either...

I still have a problem with the beanstalk episode. Donald trades his pet (not good) for magic beans and then gets all mad about it.

 So Mickey's all "screw that! we'll just go up to the giants house and steal back your chicken"

So they sneak into someone else's home and steal back Donald's chicken just because Donald doesn't like his new beans.

Not a good lesson.

I have never seen this newer version since C hates animation - like HATES it.  She prefers her entertainment in the form of puppets. So along those lines, this is like Sesame Street trying to show Cookie Monster being more responsible about his food choices.  

WildcatPrincess

Wow, this thread got awesome. Glad I could help everyone who needed to vent lol. Whoever said Donald looks weird when he blinks, I totally agree! They all look like powered down automatons when one person is talking and the rest are standing in the background.

I also hate that Pete uses "the" in all their names. "Thanks, Mickey the Mouse".

I've seen Donald annoyed, but no yelling and jumping on his hat, that was the best. Now he's all "That's exasperating". Though I almost spit my water yesterday when he told Goofy he never ceased to amaze him. I want to throat punch Goofy on a daily basis. No one can be that stupid and survive.
