The series was renewed for a second season on March 15, 2017,[2] which premiered on April 13, 2018. A third season was renewed one year after,[3] leading to the series being renamed as Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures. The first episode under the new title aired on October 14, 2019.[4]
This show features some of Russi Taylor's final performances as Minnie Mouse before she died of colon cancer on July 26, 2019.
Plot
Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures is about the Sensational Six (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Pluto) as they race around their town of Adventures and around the world (Pluto does not race in any way). Unlike the previous series, this show contains two 11-minute stories as opposed to a full-length 22-minute story. In the first half, Billy Beagle announces Mickey and his friends' races whether the race is in Hot Dog Hills or anywhere around the world.
In the second half, Minnie and Daisy work as the Happy Helpers alongside Cuckoo Loca (from Minnie's Bow-Toons) where they help out different residents of Hot Dog Hills. Minnie and Daisy use the Turnstyler located in the office and the Happy Helper Van to assume the clothes associated with their jobs that they are hired to help out on.
In Season 2, the Roadster Racers get their roadsters modified by Ludwig Von Drake so that they can perform Supercharged moves.
In Season 3, Mickey builds a mixed-up motor lab that mixes up and transforms cars. It starts to use the classic "Hot Dog" song originally written and performed by They Might Be Giants for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. This new version of the song is placed between the two segments of each episode and at the end of the final segment.

gollark: Hmm, if it was a while ago it might be Opteron, i.e. bad, so I can mock it for its badness.
gollark: Is malbolgelisp concurrency?
gollark: How do they *have* that? Why are the RAM and CPU so weirdly balanced like that?
