Background[]
Physical appearance[]
Toodles is a flat floating yellow disk that is shaped like Mickey's head, with red and yellow stripes on the right ear, and red and yellow spots on the left ear. He wears a blue screen (surrounded by four red screen holders and white and red outlines, although the red outline didn't get introduced until Season 2) 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 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."
In Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, Toodles retains his original personality and still shows up to help in some situations when he wasn't summoned. Most prominently in "Minnie's Tune Train" and "Mickey and Pluto Go Camping".
Appearances[]
Toodles: Pre-Season 3
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 Mouseketools for the episode, as downloaded into him from the Mousekedoer; Toodles usually has three main tools plus a "Mystery Mouseketool". When a Mouseketool has been chosen, Toodles will light up and Mickey will prompt, "We've got ears! Say, 'Cheers!'", and the Mouseketool will be dispensed. If the Mouseketool chosen results in all the Mouseketools being chosen, Toodles will flash with fireworks and Mickey says, "We used all our Mouseketools (today)!/We've picked all our Mouseketools (today)! (or variants thereof) Say, 'Super cheers!'"
In the rebooted series, the Mystery Mouseketool was replaced with the Mystery Mousekepal, in which a certain character other than the Sensational Six is brought in to solve the issue when none of the other Mouseketools would work.
In certain episodes at some points, Mickey and the gang would have to be quiet when summoning Toodles and picking the Mouseketools, 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 Mouseketool are:
- "A Surprise for Minnie"
- "Mickey Goes Fishing"
- "Donald and the Beanstalk"
- "Mickey's Treat"
- "Mickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt"
