- “Oh, Toodles!”
- ―Mickey and company whenever they need Toodles
Toodles is a major character in the Disney Jr. animated TV series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He is a supercomputer created by Ludwig Von Drake that provides Mickey Mouse and his friends with "Mouseketools" to help them in times of need.
Background[]
Physical appearance[]
Toodles is a flat floating yellow disk that is shaped like Mickey's head, red and yellow stripes on the right ear, red and yellow spots on the left ear. He wears a blue screen with red, pink, and yellow polka dots, sky blue eyes, coral cheeks, and thin red lips.
Personality[]
Toodles is a very kind soul and always ready to help his friends when he is called. Toodles is sweet, caring, and loves making an entrance whenever he is summoned. He'll even do his job when he's not functioning properly, as seen in "Mickey's Mousekedoer Adventure". He is also very passionate about his girlfriend, Quoodles, giving her flowers when they meet and trying to rescue her from a sticky web. Toodles is also very sensitive when it comes to his job. When it seems like his friends had forgotten him and thought that he was replaced by the Clubhouse Rescue Truck in "Road Rally", Toodles was extremely distraught to the point of running away. Nevertheless, Toodles is a friend who is always there when he needed and even comes to help out even when he wasn't summoned. Examples include waking up his friends at the end of "Minnie's Pajama Party", when he helped Mickey turn a party hat into a megaphone in "Mickey's Happy Mousekeday", and holding up the disco ball to help guide the Sensational Six out of the forest and to add some flair during Minnie's performance in "Pop Star Minnie."
Appearances[]
Toodles is a super computer that is always there to help Mickey and the gang find the answers they need. He is always shown to come when Mickey and / or one or all of his friends call "Oh Toodles!". In seasons 1-2 and most season 3 episodes, he is just a helper with no face and no voice approaching Mickey and his friends when they call him. However, in later season 3 episodes, he is portrayed as a good friend to them and now has a face and the ability to speak as of Happy Birthday Toodles.
To summon Toodles, Mickey and the gang would have to call out, "Oh, Toodles!" Toodles will then appear, and his arrival is announced by his theme song, he will then show the Mousketools for the episode, as downloaded into him from the Mouskedoer. When a Mousketool has been chosen, Toodles will light up and Mickey will prompt, "We've got ears! Say, 'Cheers'!", and the Mousketool will be dispensed. If the Mousketool chosen was the last for the episode, Toodles will flash with fireworks and Mickey says, "We've used all of our Mousketools! Say, 'Super cheers'!".
In certain episodes at some points, Mickey and the gang would have to be quiet when summoning Toodles and picking the Mousketools, possibly to avoid waking up a sleeping enemy around, thus he asks the viewer to whisper the usual phrases. The episodes where Mickey had to be quiet when choosing a mousketool are:
- "Mickey Goes Fishing"
- "Donald and the Beanstalk"
- "Mickey's Treat"
- "Mickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt"
- "Donald's Special Delivery"
- "Goofy Babysitter"
- "Daisy's Pony Tale"
