It premiered on Disney Channel on May 1, 1999 and ended in December 9, 2000. The show was about Mickey Mouse and his friends at a workshop and playing classic Mickey Mouse Cartoons from the old days. The show was a little bit like the House of Mouse show, but it was like a predecessor to that same series in some ways. The show did fairly well at the time, but on January 13, 2001 it was replaced with House of Mouse in order to make more money, as well as an attempt to make Mickey Mouse popular with both kids and adults. However, this show was also a popular choice for both kids and adults, just like the House of Mouse show from 2001.
