Review: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Great Outdoors

On May 24th Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Great Outdoors on DVD.  Get ready to camp, fish and explore nature with your favorite Disney pals.  Just in time to kick off the summer,  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Great Outdoors features four episodes from the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” TV show plus one all-new, never-before-seen “Mickey’s Fish Story” episode and comes packaged as a special DVD Play Set (DVD + Digital Copy + Mickey Mote) that will retail nationwide for the suggested price of $29.99 U.S. / $35.99 Canada. The Mickey Mote (a child-friendly handheld remote control) provides hours of interactive fun that allows kids to engage with their favorite Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters while watching Mickey’s Great Outdoors. You can also provide your kids with the ultimate on-the-go experience with the digital copy that’s included.

I love the digital copy because I can upload it to my iTunes and then download it to my iPad so it’s ready for the little ones to watch whenever they want.

The second this arrived at the door our reviewer had to watch this. The Mickey Mote and DVD play set was a hit with him. He already enjoyed watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, and now he gets to play with the remote too. The direction for programming the Mickey Mote seemed pretty easy but I must have not done something right, and I was being told to hurry up so we just used our DVD remote instead. The only thing we noticed is that the DVD just stops before it wants the child to answer the question so the first couple of times it does that you think something is wrong with the machine. But once you expect it, it’s okay. I would definitely buy this as a gift.

MICKEY’S GREAT OUTDOORS EPISODE LIST:

All-New, Never-Before-Seen Bonus Episode:

• Mickey’s Fish Story – Daisy wants to find a fishy-friend for her goldfish Goldy – and we help her find other goldfish in the Jungle where we’re aided by the mysterious conga drummin’ Jungle-Pete!  Boom-boom-bap-boom!

Here are some clips from the Episodes on “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” TV Show:

• Mickey’s Camp Out - Today Mickey and his friends are going to earn Clubhouse “Camp Out Badges” by completing two tasks – setting up camp and fishing for Gummy Fish.  Everyone’s planning to camp with a “Tent Buddy”, but Donald decides to camp by himself – and he soon learns that camping with friends is much more fun than camping by yourself.

• Mickey and Minnie’s Jungle Safari - Minnie is determined to snap a photo of the rare Hula Hibiscus that only blooms once a year. So the sensational gang go off on a jungle safari and explore new territory to find this legendary flower.

• Daisy in the Sky – On Balloon Day, Daisy grabs a large batch of balloons and gets literally carried away along with Minnie and Pluto, who couldn’t hold her down. Mickey, Donald and Goofy kick into high gear to save their friends: they use a Giant Candy Cane (to rescue Pluto), a Party Horn (to warn animals out of the way), a Piggy Bank (to weigh down one side of an elevator so that Mickey can reach the top of the lighthouse), and a Toy Hammer (to fix the Ferris wheel).

• Daisy’s Grasshopper – Daisy has a new pet grasshopper named Wilbur, but the playful hoppin’ fella hops away – and we help all our Clubhouse friends hop after him and find him before the end of the day. Boing-boing!
