What's the Story?

In MICKEY MOUSE FUNHOUSE, Mickey Mouse's friends follow Mickey to a place he knows about in the forest. It's a house that's able to change into anything from a ship, to a Western town, to a castle. When the friends go inside, they get to choose a room that will lead them on an adventure. Once they go into that room, they're magically transported through a portal to the adventure they've chosen. Often they have to solve a problem once they're there, but the Funhouse is always there to help them get back.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 7 ):
Kids say ( 5 ):

This colorful, fast-paced adventure will be very enticing for preschoolers -- There are houses with slides, roller coaster rides, cars that float, and lots of Disney friends to play with in the Mickey Mouse Funhouse world.

But there's more to it than that; there are some moral lessons that seep through, like, don't judge people -- find out more about them. Work together as a team. The female characters get to have a say in what they wear and what role they'll take (they might be a princess or a knight, for example), and girls help direct how the adventures unfold, but the majority of characters are male. Disney fans are going to enjoy this addition to the Mickey Mouse offerings.
