"Daisy Bo-Peep" is the series premiere of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It originally aired on Disney Channel in primetime on May 5, 2006. The episode involves the Clubhouse gang helping Daisy find her ten lost sheep.
Plot[]
One day at the Clubhouse, Mickey and Pluto hear a "baa" coming from a sheep hiding behind a chair. Daisy arrives to the Clubhouse and explains that she is looking for ten lost sheep, including a baby sheep. Mickey goes to the Mousekedoer to pick up four Mouseketools, a trampoline, a flashlight, binoculars, and the Mystery Mouseketool (a net), which Toodles stores in himself to use for later.
Donald then shows up, telling Mickey and Daisy that he hasn't found any sheep. Mickey offers help to Donald, which he refuses, claiming he can find them all by himself. Mickey heads outside to ask Goofy, who is working in the garden, for help finding the sheep. First, they find a cow, then see bushes far away that are hard to see. Using binoculars, they take a look at the bushes, where three sheep are hiding behind it. The group take the three sheep back to the Clubhouse. Though the group found only four sheep, Donald tries to count Pluto dressed as a sheep as one, but Mickey denies that, causing Donald to leave in anger.
Daisy suggests Goofy and Mickey to go look in the garage, where they hear two sheep hiding behind boxes on a high shelf which they reach using a trampoline. The two sheep are taken back to the Clubhouse, adding up to six. Donald returns to claim that Minnie dressed as a sheep is one of them, but Mickey denies again.
Mickey and Goofy head back outside to the holes, where they meet Chip and Dale, who claim to have found sheep hiding in the holes. Using a net, Mickey and Goofy catch three sheep hiding in the holes and take them back to the Clubhouse, adding up to nine. Returning again, Donald claims that Goofy dressed as a sheep is one of them, causing Mickey to deny that once again. Donald gives up after not finding any sheep, giving Mickey an idea to have himself and his friends help Donald find the last sheep: the baby sheep.
The gang hear the baby sheep's "baa" coming from the closet, which is very dark and hard to see. Using a flashlight, Donald finds the baby sheep standing in front of a painting on a high shelf. The whole gang count the sheep one last time, revealing that they found all ten sheep. The whole gang celebrate with the Mouskedance.

Trivia[]
- This episode premiered after the Disney Channel premiere of Finding Nemo.
- This is the first time the Mystery Mouseketool was chosen third.
- As this was the first episode, there are many early elements in this episode that were also seen in "A Surprise for Minnie", but were changed in "Goofy's Bird" onwards:
- In the theme song, when Mickey is walking through the forest, pink bushes are seen.
- The Clubhouse's grass always visible even when the Clubhouse isn't seen, as seen in the theme song and the end of the Mouskedance. In "Goofy's Bird" onwards, the grass appears and disappears with the pants.
- The Glove Balloon pops out gradually as the camera passes it, but in "Goofy's Bird" onwards, it pops out faster.
- Toodles only gets slightly close to show the series logo and title card. In "Goofy's Bird" onwards, he fills up the camera which cuts to the titles.
- The question mark used for the Mystery Mouseketool has a different appearance.
- Toodles has a lot more circles on his screen than in future episodes.
- This iteration of Toodles used in this episode is referred to as, "Too Many Dots Toodles" by fans.
- Already used Mousketools on Toodles' screen are darkly shaded. In "Donald's Big Balloon Race" onwards, they are grayscaled.
- When Mickey decides to use the trampoline and flashlight Mousketools, the screen stays on the Mousketool-selection screen when Mickey says, "We got ears! Say cheers!" In future episodes, the screen will always zoom in on the selected Mousketool.
- This early element would later reappear after selecting Mousketools in "Goofy's Thinking Cap".
- When discussing about the Mouseketools used during the Mouskedance, scene transitions push from the right. In future episodes, the transitions are a crossfade.
- This is the only to not have Corey Burton as Dale since Tress MacNeille voiced him in this episode. Corey would come back as Dale in Donald's Big Balloon Race.
- Following this episode, none of the other sheep or their models appear in other episodes until "Minnie's Bee Story".
Goofs[]
- During the theme song, Mickey's nose clips through the door window when he opens the door.
- Also in the theme song, the Glove Balloon flies lower than usual and its ropes clip through the building as it ascends.
- Pluto's ears are colored yellow at one point.
- The Mystery Mouseketool's symbol is yellow at first, but it is later colored orange.
- When Donald has Minnie dressed as a sheep, Minnie's bow is visible over her sheep wig. However, the bow disappears in the next shot and is revealed to be under the wig when she takes it off.
- When Mickey suggests they all help Donald find Baby sheep, Goofy freezes for a moment before moving again saying "Sounds good to me!"
