Watch clip of black-ish's Jenifer Lewis guest starring in premiere of new Disney Mickey series ‘Mickey Mouse Funhouse’
A brand-new Disney series, "Mickey Mouse Funhouse," premieres tomorrow, Friday (Aug 20) at 8 am ET/PT on both Disney Channel and Disney Junior – and Jenifer Lewis (“black-ish”) guest stars!
Mickey Mouse Funhouse continues the legacy of Disney’s #1 star, Mickey Mouse, and all his pals as they embark on exciting adventures to entertain a new generation of young viewers. The series introduces a new character, Funny, an enchanted talking playhouse voiced by Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), who takes these beloved characters to unique lands that inspire the imagination. Along for the ride are Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, as well as Pluto and Goofy (both of whom are voiced by Disney legend Bill Farmer).
In one of the premiering episodes, “Treasure, Ahoy!," Donald's impatience causes him to lose his pool floaty and Funny takes the crew to find the Lost & Found Treasure Chest. Jenifer Lewis (ABC's "black-ish") guest stars as Wheezelene (alongside Richard Kind ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") guest starring as Cheezel), members of a troublemaking weasel trio.
Phil Weinstein is executive producer and supervising director, Thomas Hart is co-executive producer and supervising story editor, and Mark Drop is story editor — all from the Emmy-nominated Mickey and the Roadster Racers. Emmy Award winner Alan Bodner (Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure) serves as art director, and Steve Walby (Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures) is producer. Beau Black (The Lion Guard) is the series composer and co-writes the original songs with Loren Hoskins (Jake and the Never Land Pirates). The series is produced by Disney Television Animation.
