Sotiris, I'm sorry, but you make me sick! :x If you are working at the Disney Studios, then tell Bob Iger that I think he sucks as a CEO! :angry:
Is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse really that bad? How much of it have you actually watched, also bear in mind the target audience.

Also, not sure there is any opportunity cost here. Even if Disney scraps this show, it does not necessarily follow that Disney will make another series involving Mickey and there is also no reason why they can't make another Mickey show without scapping Clubhouse..

Wade, why are you conveniently ignoring every post that mentions the Epic Mickey video game, which I assure you is not aimed at toddlers? It's like you're putting your fingers into your ears and ignoring when Disney DOES aim Mickey for an older crowd.

Here's the proof: http://www.toonbarn.com/other-cartoons/ ... v-special/
It will continue even after the 4th season. You need to realize that MMC is not going away anytime soon. It has been very successful whether we like it or not. Just look:
• Ratings for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse are up by double-digit percentages over year-ago.

• Look out for new content through 2015!

• All-new themed movie events will begin in Fall 2011 on Disney Junior, optimizing reach and frequency with viewers.

• 10 All-New "Mousekercize" shorts.

• Coming in Fall 2011 on Disney Junior, will be a short form series, called "Minnie Bow-Toons".

• For 2013, a full-length series debuts for Mickey's #1 gal pal with "Minnie's Bow-tique Hotel".

• Mickey regularly appears on the Children's Billboard Top 40 Chart and has sold over over 3.8 million albums including the top-selling Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Soundtrack and Mickey's Party Songs.

• The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse site for preschoolers receives 375 thousand visitors a week. On average, each visitor consumes 7.5 pages of content.

• Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which launched in May 2006, airs every day on Disney Channel's Disney Junior block and has become a top-rated series with its target audience of preschool kids ages 2-5.

• Mickey Mouse Clubhouse books are currently sold in 48 countries and are published in 25 languages. Over 21 million books have been sold worldwide.

There is nothing wrong with Mickey's preschool show. It's the fact that Disney is ignoring it's more family demographic and just focusing on the nappies crowd. Mickey was made for all ages originally. They can keep the preschool show forever if they wish it's just that Disney minus The Power of Two video game is turning a blind eye to it's older Mickey fans, which sucks.

That's settles it! Despite of Epic Mickey, Mickey Mouse and friends are stuck in the preschool world forever! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vJZElak-sKo?rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Never saw "forever" in regards to a brand. There was a time when superhero comics were thought of as only for children or that video games were a simplistic waste of time, after all.

So, store the ponies away and quit your complaining. Just wait a while and Mickey will come in popularity among older fans.

There is no need to apologize ! Because you're not alone on this. Just wait and be patient is what I think TsWade2 was getting across. :)

You know, I was playing Epic Mickey 2 and it was awesome. Haven't play Power of Illusion yet. If I like the Power of Illusion then maybe this will be possible that it might be turn into a cartoon series. That's a great idea. :)
