The series was renewed for a second season on March 15, 2017.[2] The second season premiered on April 13, 2018. The show’s third season was renewed one year later,[3] which led to the series being renamed to Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures, the first episode under the new title was originally broadcast on October 14, 2019.[4]
This was Russi Taylor's last television series role before her death on July 26, 2019, it was also the first series not to feature Donald's regular and official voice actor Tony Anselmo due to him being too busy providing the voice for the character in other Disney projects, one of which includes DuckTales.
Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures is about the Sensational Six (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy and Pluto) as they race around their town of Hot Dog Hills and around the world (Pluto doesn't race in any way). Unlike the previous series, this show contains two 11-minute stories as opposed to Clubhouse's full-length 22-minute stories. In the first half, Billy Beagle commentates on Mickey and his friends' races whether the race is in Hot Dog Hills or somewhere else around the world.
In the second half, Minnie and Daisy work as the Happy Helpers alongside Cuckoo-Loca (from Minnie's Bow-Toons) where they help out different residents of Hot Dog Hills. Minnie and Daisy use the Turnstyler located in the office and the Happy Helper Van to assume the clothes associated with their jobs that they are hired to help out on.
In Season 2, the Roadster Racers get their roadsters modified by Ludwig Von Drake so that they can perform Super-charged moves. In Season 2, the theme song (and a segment of the introduction) is also extremely altered near the end for the Super-charged part.
In Season 3, Mickey builds a mixed-up motor lab that mixes up and transforms cars. It starts to use the classic "Hot Dog" song originally written and performed by They Might Be Giants for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. This new version of the song was placed between the two segments of each episode and at the end of the last segment.
