"Minnie-rella" is the one hundred and eighth episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. As the title suggests, it is based on the story of Cinderella with Minnie Mouse as the title character. The episode premiered on February 14, 2014 and is the ninth episode in the fourth season.

Summary[]

While doing her chores, Minnie falls asleep and has a dream where she transforms into Minnie-rella. In her dream, she requires assistance to prepare for Prince Mickey's extravagant ball.

Plot[]

The episode begins in the Clubhouse with Mickey greeting the viewers and telling them that the gang is planning a special surprise for Minnie. She's on her way to the Clubhouse, and Mickey tells the gang that they have to find things to keep Minnie busy until they get back with the surprise. Minnie arrives with her new sunflowers and promises to take care of Goofy's frog Fiona, fix Pluto's toy castle, sweep the floor, decorate the Moo Muffins in the kitchen, dust the picture puzzle, wash Donald's duckies, and tune Mickey's ukulele.

While the rest of the gang leaves, Minnie gets busy with the chores. Eventually, with still lots to do, Minnie starts to feel tired. She then goes to sleep while dreaming that she is Minnie-rella. In the dream, Clarabelle wakes Minnie-rella up and tells her about Prince Mickey's ball. Minnie-rella isn't ready for the ball with her current clothes and the chores she has to do. Clarabelle can make Minnie-rella's wishes come true with her magic wand. She uses the wand to summon sunflowers and balloons instead of sending Minnie-rella to the ball. So, Clarabelle asks the viewers for help getting Minnie-rella ready so she can go to Prince Mickey's ball. Quoodles shows up to help Minnie-rella while Toodles is busy. Quoodles then provides the Quoodles-tools: a heart-shaped pillow, Hilda the Hippo, a pink ribbon, and the Mystery Quoodles-tool.

To get to Prince Mickey's ball, Minnie-rella needs to finish her chores. She and Clarabelle then call the Handy Helpers to speed up the process. Afterwards, Minnie-rella decides on a new dress, and Clarabelle calls her friends to put the dress together. Once it's done, Minnie likes it, but Clarabelle suggests a new bow. So, Clarabelle calls Quoodles for the ribbon, which is tied into a bow for Minnie-rella to wear. Clarabelle then transforms Minnie-rella's shoes into duck slippers, fins, and then glass slippers. Minnie-rella is then ready to go to Prince Mickey's ball, and to get there, she needs a pumpkin.

Goofy is gardening his tomatoes when Minnie-rella and Clarabelle show up, wanting the biggest pumpkin in the garden. Since there are no pumpkins, Clarabelle decides on a tomato, and transforms one into a carriage. Goofy will be the coachman to drive Minnie-rella to Prince Mickey's ball. Clarabelle tells Minnie-rella to hurry, as she must leave the ball by 12:00, which is when the spell will be broken and everything will turn back to what it was before.

Goofy then drives Minnie-rella to the ball. Soon, one of the coach's wheels gets stuck in a pothole. So, Minnie calls Quoodles for Hilda the Hippo, who pushes the carriage to get the wheel unstuck. Minnie-rella and Goofy then continue to Prince Mickey's castle. Once there, they meet Pete the royal gatekeeper. Pete mentions that the gate is locked, and it needs to be opened by three diamond shapes. So, Minnie-rella calls Quoodles for the Mystery Quoodles-tool, which is a charm bracelet. Minnie picks out the three diamond shapes from the bracelet, and Pete unlocks the gate with them.

Minnie-rella then tells Goofy about leaving the ball by 12:00 before heading there. At the castle, Donald and Daisy are excited to see Prince Mickey when Minnie-rella arrives, delighted at the castle. Daisy loves Minnie-rella's clothes, and Minnie compliments Daisy's look. Ludwig Von Drake then introduces Prince Mickey and Pluto. Prince Mickey and Minnie-rella then dance together, with Donald and Daisy, Quoodles and Toodles, and the hippos doing the same.

Von Drake considers it as sweet, but then, the clock strikes 12:00. Minnie-rella then runs away, leaving one of her slippers behind. Prince Mickey wonders where Minnie-rella went, and he, Toodles, Von Drake, and Pluto find the slipper left behind. Daisy remembers that Minnie-rella wore the shoe. Von Drake advises Prince Mickey to find the mystery princess who fits the slipper fast. Prince Mickey and Pluto then search for Minnie-rella, and they come across Goofy, who is eating his pizza. Goofy tries the slipper, but it doesn't fit. Mickey gets it off, but it lands on a tree. So, Goofy calls Quoodles for the heart-shaped pillow for the slipper to land softly on.

Mickey then gets the slipper, and Goofy knows it looks familiar. He wonders where he remembers seeing it. At the Clubhouse, Minnie-rella tells the animals about her story so far and wonders where Prince Mickey is. Goofy and Prince Mickey then arrive with the glass slipper. Minnie-rella tries it on, and it fits perfectly. Clarabelle confirms Minnie-rella to be the princess. Prince Mickey and Minnie-rella will live happily ever after.

Minnie then wakes up from the dream and tells the gang about what happened. They thank Minnie for finishing all the chores. Minnie mentions that she did have help from the Handy Helpers. Mickey reveals that the gang picked out a present just for Minnie, revealed to be glass slippers. They fit Minnie perfectly, and she tells Mickey he'll always be her prince before the two dance again. The gang then celebrates by doing the Hot Dog Dance. The episode ends with them exiting the Clubhouse as it disappears and Mickey waving goodbye to the viewers.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first time Quoodles takes over delivering Mouseketools (or in her case, Quoodlestools) to her friends instead of Toodles.
    • The reason being that Toodles was busy at the time. However, he is later seen dancing with Quoodles at Prince Mickey's ball.
  • Mickey asking the viewers who they are planning a surprise party for at the start of the episode is a callback to the season 1 episode "Minnie's Birthday".
  • "Minnie-rella" is based on Cinderella.
  • Pete didn't play a wicked stepmother in this episode. Instead, he plays a guard at the gates to the castle.
  • The gown was pink instead of silvery blue, unlike the 1950 film in which her pink gown was torn by her stepsisters and restored by Fairy Godmother into her silvery blue one.
  • This episode aired on Valentine's Day, the same day as the Mickey Mouse episode "Third Wheel".
  • Ironically, Minnie and Daisy's respective voice actresses Russi Taylor and Tress MacNeille voiced the Fairy Godmother and Drizella; and Anastasia respectively in the Cinderella sequels.
  • In the Disney+ and DVD release, this episode uses the Minnie Special title card.
  • In this episode, Clarabelle Cow says, "That's a surprise tool that can help you later!", instead of the real Mickey saying, "That's a surprise tool that can help us later!". The first time this happened was in The Wizard of Dizz.
  • This episode was produced in 2012, according to the credits.
  • There is a storybook based on this episode.
  • This is the first episode to air in 2014.

Goofs[]

  • Near the end of Mickey and Minnie's dance in the clubhouse, part of the latter's left glass slipper goes up with her heel, while the rest of the slipper stays on the ground with her toes (as if it's Minnie's normal shoes). Logically, the whole slipper needs to go up with the foot, as glass is not a flexible material and the slipper would crack or even break if such position is attempted. However, it is possible that Minnie's "glass" slippers are made of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) (the same material some real life shoes and Minnie's normal shoes are made of), which the glass slippers having a transparent glass-like appearance.
  • The episode ends with Minnie still wearing her glass slippers, with her normal shoes nowhere to be seen during her and Mickey's dance. However, when the hot dog dance begins, she has her normal shoes on with her glass slippers nowhere to be found. This might've be done to save money, as the hot dog dance usually stays the same in most episodes (with a few exceptions).
    • It could have been possible that Minnie changed shoes off-screen.
  • When Minnie rushed out of the ball, she loses a glass slipper, and it lies on the step sideways. But when Pluto spots the glass slipper, it's sitting upward.
  • Before Clarabelle Cow says: "That's a surprise tool that can help you later", Quoodles' bow is nowhere because she hid it, But after Clarabelle Cow says it, her bow can be seen.
