My kids love to watch Disney cartoons, especially if Mickey Mouse is in them! They were super excited to watch “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Choo-Choo Express” on DVD when it arrived. You’ll enjoy this DVD allyear long as you watch Mickey and his friends drive the train up to the top of the mountain and load the train cars with“Easy-Freezy” Snow, which never melts. Mickey and his friends have a blast playing in the snow, making snow angels, skiing, and more….all during the summertime! We also enjoyed watching the Bonus Episode called “Mickey’s Big Job” with 3 fun ways to watch and play.The DVD includes “Choo Choos Express” by They Might Be Giants. “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Choo Choo Express” will be released on DVD on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and retails for $26.99.
SYNOPSIS
This Yuletide season, Mickey and the Clubhouse Gang hop aboard the Clubhouse Choo Choo Train for a holiday-filled adventure when Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Choo Choo Express comes to Disney DVD on December 1, 2009. This animated feature includes lively original music including a new song by the kid-friendly alt-rock band, They Might Be Giants; delightful bonus episode, Mickey’s Big Job and an interactive
experience with three enjoyable ways to watch the movie. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Choo Choo Express stars the Fab Five: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Goofy. While Professor Von Drake goes to the top of Mistletoe Mountain to create snow that never melts, the gang put together his old Clubhouse Choo
Choo train. They use the train to help the professor carry back loads of his special non-melting snow so that they can build snowmen and make snow angels in the middle of summer. Mickey invites more friends to the Easy Freezy Snow Party so they can all join in on the fun. In order to get everyone out to the clubhouse, they adhere to a train schedule where different folks, including Santa and Ms. Claus, are picked up along the way at designated times. When Mickey and friends all make it back just in time for the party, Professor Von Drake presents them a gift – a golden car
train – in appreciation for picking up everyone on the Clubhouse Choo Choo train.
BONUS FEATURES
Bonus Episode
Mickey’s Big Job Willie the Giant is off to visit his Mama. Before he leaves he asks Mickey and his pals to house-sit his farm. The gang is eager to help, but Willie’s “little list” of chores turns out to be a big hassle considering how small they are in the giant’s home. With a big “can do” spirit, the Clubhouse gang set about the chores and all the jobs get done in time earning a mammoth thank you from Willie when he gets home.
