An expansion from Mickey Mouse clubhouse comes “Mickey and the Roadster Racers”.

Mickey and his Hot Rod, Minnie and Pink Thunder (shaped like a hair bow), Goofy and his Turbo Tubster (a modern-day jalopy), Donald and his Cabin Cruiser, and Daisy and her vehicle “Snapdragon.” When they are not fixing up cars they are racing in Hot Dog Hills and around the world.

Son’s Reaction
My son (who is 10 months old) whips his head around anytime the theme song to Roadster Racers comes on and smiles. He loves the transforming roadsters and the storylines keep his attention most of the time. I enjoy the lessons of how cheating is bad, and how friends are always there for one another during these episodes and hope that they stick with him when he gets older.

Overview
My son really enjoys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Mickey and the Roadster Racers is a great expansion on that show. While the show itself is not interactive, the colors and story lines keep his attention and he does not lose interest easily. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse I think is a great show for younger children, but as they grow Mickey and the Roadster Racers will keep them entertained and enthusiastic for Mickey and his friends.
