The House of Mouse is a nightclub originally located in the middle of Main Street, Toontown, and the central location of the television series of the same name. The club was co-founded by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. On opening night, the club was purchased by the evil landlord Pete who plots to shut down the club. In the course of the series, the club was briefly owned by Scrooge McDuck for one night. The club was also renamed "House of Villains" four times. It was also renamed the "House of Duck" briefly. The club also hosts Ladies' Night three times: once when Mickey, Donald and Goofy go bowling, another when Applejack suggests to put gameplay from Harmony Quest on the screen, and another during Valentine's Day 2021 (when the Simpsons themselves go bowling and Dr. Fox uses clones resembling the family to take their place). In Saving Ponyville, while the Mane Six go on a journey beyond Equestria, Tempest Shadow takes over the House of Mouse and attaches it to her sky skiff, but when her real name is revealed, she gives the ownership back to Pete, and the House of Mouse is moved to behind the Simpsons' home. In Spike At Your Service 2, Spike renames the club to "House of Spike" (and briefly owns it) in an attempt to prove Twilight Sparkle that he can handle the club by himself, though it is renamed it back to "House of Mouse" later on. In Frankie's House of ZhuZhus, Frankie renames the club to "House of ZhuZhus", hence the episode's title, but she renames it back to "House of Mouse" after learning she has to get her own club. In House of Catastrophe, the club is renamed to "House of BabyFirst" and briefly owned by Sammy and Eve. In Somewhere Over The Slingshot, Pete gives the ownership of the club to Sliver (from Angry Birds 2), but in A Valentine for Q.T., Dr. Fox attempts to make Sliver give the ownership of the club back to Pete, which she does at the end. In Minuette's Mystery, the club is renamed to "House of Pokémon" due to the episode's topic being about the world of Pokémon. In Let Your Feelings Show, the cartoon's Blue's Room segment is filmed right inside the club, and thus Moona becomes the co-owner of the club. At one point, Mother Duck comes to see the show at the club, and as a result, the Five Little Ducks insulate themselves into all the acts, even taking over the club and renaming it to "House of Duck"! At the end, the ducks give the ownership back to Pete and Moona and change the club's name back to its original name. In The Return of the Fabulous Fun Fixing Club, the club is in danger of breaking down, so Dr. Fox and her friends decide to fix and renovate it, just like in the Unikitty episode Landlord Lord. The club is also home to vaudeville shows similar to those in the Muppet Theatre, as shown in numerous episodes.
In more recent adventures, the club's role has been reduced to a minor location, and the exterior mostly appears in the background during outside shots of the Simpsons' house.
Starting with The Pocket Ponies Championship, a portal is added in the foyer, which adds for easy access to Earth-199999, both versions of Earth-1610, Earth-8311, Earth-616, Earth-65, Earth-67, Earth-14512. Earth-688, and Earth-42.
In The Rise of Super Spies, Molly invented a new star pocket for the club to use when everyone has to catch stars.
In Agri Birds 4, Spike once again renames the club to "House of Spike" during a filming of the Simpsons episode Night of the Living Wage - sometime later, Melody changes it back to its original name. In Agri Birds Toons: A New Legacy, the club is the main setting of the segment Looney Tunes: Party Palace Pals, and is owned by Lola Bunny.
Description[]
Foyer[]
- The front hall of the club is accessible via glass double doors from the street. Here, guests may converse among themselves or with the Magic Mirror that is located just within the entrance. There is also a small lounge for guests waiting to be seated. Donald (or Rainbow Dash) can usually be found here greeting visitors personally; often with a handshake. Daisy (or Rarity) works at the reception desk situated just outside the restaurant/theater area, helping guests to book reservations or assist with any requests they may have. Outside, Max Goof (or Fluttershy) assists visitors in parking their cars at a nearby lot owned by the club.
Restaurant / Theater[]
- One of the busiest areas of the club, this wide, spacious area has at least thirty tables that can seat over 120 people. Given the wide variety of clientèle at the club, which includes Willie the Giant and Elliott the Dragon, the amount of seating at the club could vary wildly at times. Goofy, Pinkie Pie, and the penguin waiters take orders and deliver various dishes, ranging from conventional to outlandish, to the guests. On the side of this area lays a balcony where Statler and Waldorf often comment about what's going on and heckle the crew. At the far end of the area is a stage where performances of all sorts are conducted, including that of Huey, Dewey and Louie. There is also a huge TV screen in the stage background to show cartoons. Mickey (or Twilight Sparkle and Unikitty) often hosts the events on-stage. The TV screen measures as a 16:9 widescreen TV, and can adjust its screen size depending on the aspect rations what is being shown.
Backstage[]
- This area behind the stage is restricted only to club staff and performers hired by the club. Located here are staff offices, dressing rooms, storage spaces and an employee rest area. This area has direct access to the club's kitchen. The back entrance to the club and the door to the prop room are also located here. Minnie (or Twinkleshine) is often seen here using a PDA to assist in keeping the night's schedule on track or directing guest star performers to the stage. In Batkitty V Superfox: Dawn of Bali, Scooter and Toodles are given the job as the backstage stage managers, utility stage crew members, and general all-around "gofers" at the club. As a result, a replica of the Mousekedoer is built backstage.
Kitchen[]
- All types of ingredients and cooking equipment can be found here to cater to the wide and, often, exotic palates of the club's clientèle. There is also a cold storage room to store fresh meat and other perishable foods. Gus Goose works here nightly to prepare various dishes for the guests, but he sometimes eats said dishes before they reach the tables.
Control Room[]
- From this room, located behind and above the restaurant/theater area, much of the technical equipment at the club is operated. The club's collection of cartoons is stored here as well. Through a window that overlooks the restaurant/theater area, Horace (or Spike and Dr. Fox) operates the lights, the loudspeakers, and various record players (for example, DVD or VHS players) or film projectors to show cartoons and live video feeds when instructed to do so.
Prop Room[]
- Perhaps the most interesting area of the club, the prop room consists of a cavernous basement much larger than the club itself. Props from all of Disney animation and other media can be found here, including magical items such as Genie's lamp and the Black Cauldron, and places such as the Post Windmill, the Watermill, and Knapford Station. The prop room is so large that one could get lost for days unless one took Pluto along as a guide. However, the Simpsons and their friends usually have little trouble navigating in the prop room.
