"Mouse Party" is the third episode of Bear in the Big Blue House, written by P. Kevin Strader and directed by Hugh Martin. It aired on October 22, 1997.

Summary[]

Today is Tutter's birthday, and the friends in the Big Blue House decide to throw him a special surprise birthday party. Pip and Pop are placed in charge of the decorations, but run into trouble with the balloons. All the noise attracts Tutter, but Bear manages to head him off with our help. Tutter learns that having a birthday means becoming 1 year older. He speculates on all the great things he'll be able to do while he's older. Ojo works on the cake and Treelo wraps Tutter's present. Treelo, though, gets so excited about the birthday that at first, he wants to keep the present for himself.

Trivia[]

  • The title of this episode is a play on the film House Party.

Songs[]

  • When I'm Older

Notes[]

  • A big deal is made about Tutter's present in this episode, but viewers never find out what it is.
  • Luna is so old that she doesn't remember when her birthday is.
  • This is the first episode where there is no Shadow segment. The time normally spent on her story is taken up by Tutter's birthday party.
  • This is the first episode where somebody turns the living room light off, except Bear, Ojo, Tutter and Treelo.
  • This is the first of only two episodes where Bear turns the living room light back on. The other being "The Big Sleep".
  • The plot of this episode was the basis for the stage show Bear in the Big Blue House Live: Surprise Party.
  • The "Happy, Happy Birthday" song is listed as simply "The Birthday Song" in the closing credits. Additionally, the closing credits run longer than usual.
  • When this episode was first aired on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom as part of their Milkshake! block, the "UK version produced by Disney Channel" logo is shown after the closing credits and just before the Shadow Projects and Jim Henson Television logos.
  • The cheeses used in the blended birthday cheesecake are limburger, cheddar, monterey jack, and gorgonzola.
