The Stolen Cartoons

"The Stolen Cartoons" is the first episode of House of Mouse, originally aired on ABC on January 13, 2001.

Synopsis
In an attempt to shut down the House of Mouse, Pete steals all the cartoons, and can't be found guilty even with obvious clues pointing to him. Meanwhile, Donald is put in charge of the club after Mickey and Goofy leave to film a new cartoon. They eventually return and manage to keep the show going, but Pete points out that with only that one cartoon, the guests will get bored and eventually stops coming, but in doing so, accidentally reveals that he stole the missing cartoons.

 * This is also the only episode of House of Mouse in which a character from Tarzan makes an appearance (Tantor the elephant).
