House of Mouse (Disney+ series)

House of Mouse would be a 2034 animated variety comedy TV series created by Bobs Gannaway, Matt Braly, and Dana Terrace, developed by Terrace and Daron Nefcy, and produced by Disney Television Animation. Based on the TV series of the same name by Gannaway and Tony Craig, the series would be executive-produced by Gannaway, Braly, Terrace, Paul Ruddish, and Daron Nefcy, and would star Chris Diamantopoulos, Katytlin Robrock, Bill Farmer, Tony Anselmo, Tress MacNeille, and April Winchell. The series would center on Mickey Mouse and his friends as the try to put on a variety show to various Disney characters.

Work on a reboot of House of Mouse would begin in early 2033, with Gannaway set to return as co-creator alongside Braly, Terrace, and Nefcy, and executive-producer alongside Braly, Terrace, Nefcy, and Rudish, the latter who previously created the Mickey Mouse and The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse short series. The cast from both shorts would be set to reprise their roles, alongside several other voice actors. Terrace and Nefcy would also be credited as developers.

Unlike the previous series, the reboot would feature several animated Disney characters from properties outside films, such as TV series, comics, and Pixar movies, and would combine several different animation techniques depending on whether the character's original version was made througth hand-drawn animation, flash animation, CGI, or stop-motion. The series would also discard the use of shorts featured in the original version in favor of original sketches in the style of The Muppet Show, in order to "truly take advantage of the concept of the series".

House of Mouse would be released on Disney+ on November 12, 2024, and would become a critical success. Critics would praise the series for its voice acting, faithfulness to the original series, animation, writing, humor, and handling of multiple Disney characters.
