Apparently Disney debuted a new preschool show, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse at their theme parks. The show will air during the Playhouse Disney block and feature Mickey and friends in 3-D CGI animation.

The educational goals of the show are mathematics and problem solving.

The show’s format is described below:

Each episode starts with Mickey inviting viewers to join him in calling out the “magic” phrase, “Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse!” With that, the fantastic, mouse-shaped structure that serves as the series’ shape-shifting home base begins to magically appear. Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto and Daisy all join Mickey as he invites young viewers to help solve challenges, overcome obstacles and go on fun adventures. Interactivity is key from start to finish as Mickey speaks directly to preschoolers, asking questions and encouraging them to play games, participate in special phrases or cheers, and solve puzzles to reach a goal. After successfully completing the day’s adventure, Mickey recaps the day’s fun activities and lessons learned through the celebratory “Hot Dog!” song. Mickey turns to the audience and, with a wave and a wink, he promises to “See Ya Real Soon.”

Incidentally the Hot Dog song is a They Might Be Giants creation.
