History WesternAnimation / HouseOfMouse

* AdaptedOut: ''{{WesternAnimation/Dinosaur}}'' is the only Disney Animated Canon movie already released at the time of the show's run, going all the way up to ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' to not be represented in the show at all, due to the show being CG-animated.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: All of the ''{{WesternAnimation/Tarzan}}'' characters except from [[HonorableElephant Tantor]] (unless you count the website's games), making him the ''only'' character from that movie to appear in the show.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: When Hades tries to court Maleficent, Mickey advises him to try to be nice and more like him to impress her. It doesn't work, but Hades' subsequent rage impresses Maleficent. Mickey delivers AnAesop about being yourself, and Minnie coyly suggests he planned it all along. Mickey hesitates, and invokes this trope.

* AnAesop: This is made the subject of the song performed in "Thanks to Minnie".

52 episodes of ''House of Mouse'' were produced, but only half of them were aired on One Saturday Morning before it was rebranded as Creator/{{ABC}} Kids in September 2002. As a result, ''House of Mouse'' was taken off of Creator/{{ABC}} and moved to the Creator/DisneyChannel and Creator/ToonDisney, where the remaining 26 episodes aired alongside the previously aired ones as well. During the show's run, a few ''Mouse Works'' shorts were packaged with some of the classic shorts onto video compilations, but had their title cards cut out and replaced with newly-made framing animation, and were advertised as two direct-to-video movies - ''[[WesternAnimation/MickeysMagicalChristmasSnowedInAtTheHouseOfMouse Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains Mickey's House of Villains]]''.

** The three kittens Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz are the only characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' to not appear in the show, even though most of the other characters, such as Duchess and [[YanktheDogsChain Thomas O'Malley]] do.

The concept of ''House of Mouse'' was that Mickey and his friends were now running an eponymous nightclub, whose entertainment consisted of special musical guests and showing the cartoon shorts produced for ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseWorks'' (some of which had not aired previously), and occasionally classic Disney shorts from the Golden Age of Animation to an audience of Disney characters. The guests consisted almost entirely of characters from all of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon films up to 2001's ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'',[[note]]But none of the Creator/{{Pixar}} films, for obvious reasons, though Donald did dress in costumes relating to them in one episode. Also, while ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', which is known for its crossovers, didn't appear since that film wasn't released at the time of production, the titular duo did appear in a Flash game.[[/note]] and sometimes characters from the ''Silly Symphonies'' shorts (mostly "WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs", though). The series ''did'' feature cameo appearances by characters from other Disney TV cartoons (WesternAnimation/PepperAnn and her mom are seen ''outside'' the House in the first episode), the comic books ([[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]] bought the House in one episode), [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks theme park attractions]] ([[Franchise/TheHauntedMansion the Hitchhiking Ghosts]], also in the first episode), and even live-action movies (Herbie from ''Film/TheLoveBug'', Benny the Cab from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' and the lightcycles from ''Film/{{Tron}}'' in "Max's New Car", which also featured Susie the Little Blue Coupe), but these were few and far between. Curiously, unlike the later ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'',[[note]]which had both executive producers of ''Mickey Mouse Works''/''House of Mouse'' executive producing that series[[/note]] ''House of Mouse'' also did not do any {{Crossover}}s with other currently-running Disney cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' (although Donald wears a Buzz Lightyear outfit in one episode, resembling the design of his suit from the show) and ''WesternAnimation/LloydInSpace'', aside from the aforementioned Pepper Ann cameo.
