Mouse Town

Mouse Town is an American animated television series created by John Sturtridge. It retains the cartoonish animation style of House of Mouse and Mickey Mouse Works. The show will be produced by Disney Television Animation and will air on Disney Channel and Disney XD, being rated TV-Y7.

Premise
The show focuses mostly on the numerous events that occur in Mickey Mouse's neighborhood, hosting his variety show and his gang perfoming acts in a similar manner to House of Mouse and The Muppet Show. The show also focuses on Oswald and Ortensia living in a house together with Ortensia's kid brother Homer the Cat and their 420 bunny children, Pete being the owner of the restaurant Pete's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, where Oswald works as the main frycook and Goofy as the main waiter. Homer the Cat, Huey, Dewey and Louie attend ToonTown Elementary and they go through bullies and chaos throughout the whole school in their misadventures.

The show's first and second seasons' main writers were Roberts Gannaway, Tony Craig, Matt Selman, and long-time Hanna-Barbera writer Jeffrey Scott. Selman was praised for his work on The Simpsons, being close to the show's earlier seasons with the characters' original characterizations. And Scott was praised for his work on Hanna-Barbera's version of Pac-Man. The first two seasons were mainly more character and story-based, much like the pre-cancellation Fox's Family Guy.

Writing
Writers for the show's absolutely hilarious and more story-based episodes included Roberts Gannaway, Tony Craig, Matt Selman from The Simpsons, John Benke, Rob Humprey, Jim Peterson, Thomas Hart, Doug Langdale, Henry Gilroy, John Loy and most notably Jeffrey Scott (he was known for writing the Pac-Man cartoon series from Hanna-Barbera, Muppet Babies from Marvel Productions and Henson Associates and Dragon Tales from Sony Pictures Television).

Voices
Most of the original cast members from other Disney movies, shows and specials reprised their roles for the sitcom.

Animation
The Mickey Mouse Show has been farmed out to several different animation studios. These companies include Sydney Animation, Wang Film Productions, Digital EMation, Rough Draft Korea and Toon City Animation. All of the episodes were animated hand-drawn and sometimes composited over CG effects/backgrounds.

Music
The show's music is composed by Family Guy and American Dad music composer Walter Murphy and Simpsons composer Alf Clausen.

Reusing cartoon footage
When Mickey runs his television show in this sitcom, he shows Disney cartoon shorts from the late 20s to the early 60s. Some stock footage and soundtrack like 1929's The Skeleton Dance and 1933's The Mad Doctor were reused. Other stock footages also contained 1991 computer colorized versions of B&W Disney cartoon shorts, such as 1932's The Wayward Canary and The Whoopee Party. Footage of Jiminy Cricket trying to beat up Lampwick for insulting him was reused in one episode where Jiminy is sentenced to the ToonTown Supreme Court.

Trivia

 * This was Sam Marin's second voice work for Disney, probably his first major voice work. His first voice work at Disney was on Gravity Falls.
 * This was the Muppets' first traditionally-animated appearance on the show since the 80s'. They are now being voiced by their regular Muppet performers, as opposed to having cartoon voice actors providing the voices of the characters in previous Henson/Marvel animated shows.
