"Minnie's Birthday" is the eighth episode of the first season of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It originally aired on Playhouse Disney (now Disney Jr.) on June 3, 2006.
Plot[]
Today is Minnie's birthday, but the Clubhouse gang need to set up her birthday party. Luckily, they've made a three-step plan: first they make the cake, but they must remember to keep Minnie distracted while doing the other steps (blowing up balloons and finding someplace to hide). They all jump out and surprise Minnie, and it turns out to be her best birthday ever.

- Mickey called Professor Von Drake "Ludwig" instead of "Professor".
- This is the first time Bubbles the Elephant appeared in the series. Although a look-alike of her appeared in Donald's Big Balloon Race.
- This is the first episode where Minnie has a furious face which is really extremely rare, she looks furious when she thinks her friends forget her birthday and wants to throw her own birthday party.
- This episode is uploaded 5 months and 15 days before Minnie's actual birthday.
- Pete and Clarabelle do not appear in this episode. This was also Pete's very first absence in this series, but he does appear in the previous episode.
- A similar story is used in the Disney Junior Live on Stage attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure.
- This is the 1st of 5 episodes on the I ❤️ Minnie DVD in the US and 2nd of 4 everywhere else.

Goofs[]
- Professor Von Drake's feet are tinted white instead of yellow when we see him in the bathtub.
- When Daisy leaves the clubhouse, the fence is hovering over the ground.
- When the gang surprised Minnie and the camera turns around, Minnie's ears act three-dimensional instead of being two-dimensional when the angle of her head changes.
- When Mickey sees Minnie leaving, she is out of the gate, but when the gang is calling her, she is next to the garage.
- When The Sensational Six call Toodles for the Birthday Candle, The Mystery Mouseketool sign is shown in Grayscale instead of the Jump Rope. This error would also later happen in "Goofy Baby", "Mickey and the Enchanted Egg" and "Donald Hatches an Egg".
- When Mickey is hiding in the kitchen, his tail clips through the kitchen's floor.
- When Donald says "Okay Mickey" when Mickey says they should keep Minnie busy until the cake's ready, the captions instead say "I've got an idea."
