How would the Pixar cameos work again? I think the House of Mouse avoided any characters which would require Medium Blending to portray. I don't recall seeing Jack Skellington even around the Halloween episodes.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Well they kind of had a slight thing in one of their Halloween episodes where Donald kept dressing up as PIXAR characters in a costume contest. If they did something like that (ie small PIXAR props scattered around the prop room, maybe Goofy serving Nemo sushi), I'd be very content.

Anyone from The Disney Afternoon.
They really have to do a Darkwing-Paperinick (or Super Duck, or PK, or whatever they call him now) team-up one of these days.
Expand the subject matter for the shorts beyond just Mickey and friends. Really take advantage of the Disney crossover concept as much as possible.
Tiana. Let's get some black chicks in there!
We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.I think Tiana would work well as the club chef.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Make Donald less of a wimp and closer to his classic animated persona...Or even better, take a note from the comics and characterize him based on Barks' output. I also agree with the notion that they should take as much advantage as possible from the massive crossover they have at their disposal.
Sora.
But only for one episode, and and the main gag is that nobody recognizes him.
I have a message from another time...And make it reeaaaaalllly awkward.
"Hey Mickey! Donald! Goofy!"
"Heyyyyy......you!"
^^ With Art Shift clash as a secondary one.

Now that I think of it, best way to take full advantage of the crossover potential is to drop the Nightclub all together and just make it an ensemble adventure show through the worlds of Disney.
^ It'd need a new title, however.
If they go that route, just make a Kingdom Hearts anime.
No. A fresh start, probably taking more inspiration from Epic Mickey for the tone, would be better. No World Order rules limiting the crossover potential and no Kudzu Plot to slow it down.
And above it all, no overabundance of ridiculous Bishounen, PLEASE!
I always hear about how Disney comics starring the core cast of the classic cartoons are wildly popular in Europe, South America, Asia, and basically everywhere else other than their home country. I also notice there's a number of almost anime-like cartoons coming out of Europe. Conclusion? Set up a European studio and start adapting the international comics.
I missed the "If" in the title and for a brief second my hopes skyrocketed, only to fall and crack like so many porcelain vases off the wobbly endtables of my dreams.
Nice and dramatic, no?
Anyway, I really want to see Disney show some love to their non-theatrical characters. Recently I've realized that between House Of Mouse, Kingdom Hearts, and Epic Mickey there's been pretty much no reference to their television characters - everyone from DW to Drakken, no attention.
Epic Mickey has a reason for that (maybe a sequel will have later characters), and Kingdom Hearts I can understand, but Ho M had nothing in the way of references whatsoever, as far as I can remember, not even having a character sitting in the crowd as a cameo.
As much as I'd like to see Don Karnage in Epic Mickey or Kingdom Hearts (that might finally get me interested enough in the series to buy it), I'd love, if House Of Mouse continued again, to see him and all the other Disney Afternoon characters make appearances, just so they won't be so... forgotten.
Hook vs Karnage in a devious piratey swordfight. Now that's entertainment.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.For some unfathomable reason Disney executives just seem to hate The Disney Afternoon. Since they seemingly do everything in their power to keep it buried.
True, they greenlighted the Darkwing and Chip and Dale comics, but I chalk that up mostly to BOOM!'s enthusiasm over the franchises.
Wat. Anyway, I'd totally kill to see some Kingdom Hearts cameos.

I've been thinking about this lately, having been watching a lot of House Of Mouse recently. Facilier just sitting around the club having random one off gags would've been very fun, in addition to of course the rest of the Pa TF gang.
Also, it could only benefit from not being made at the same time as Legend Of Tarzan, so that characters that weren't Tantor could've shown up.
Also, @Pixar stuff - the Halloween episode did have a bunch of Pixar cameos, in the form of Donald trying several Pixar characters' outfits or appearances as failed Halloween costumes. He eventually ends up with Flik.
I would've loved to see animated versions of the 3-D characters themselves show up, though. Not just the Pixar characters, but all of Disney's 3-D characters - a bit with Von Drake and Cornelius Robinson, etc. Nowadays you could add Maximus to the list of animal characters and Mother Gothel to the "evil witch" table. Can you imagine a scene with the Evil Queen and Gothel? Heh.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.Oh man. I'd need time to write a wish list of things I would love to see if this were uncancelled!
I love watching this show over and over again and finding little Mythology Gags and Shout Outs. I swear, every time I watch an episode I find another cameo of another, including to stuff I thought was never referenced.
On that note, I was watching the episode Goofy For A Day again and I think I've found another very rare reference to Disney animated television shows:
It's the only episode where Huey, Dewey, and Louie show up outside of their Quackstreet Boys thing, and when they're on screen they're dressed just like they are in Quack Pack. Here's the kicker, though: Huey's dressed like Louie, Louie's dressed like Dewey, and Dewey's dressed like Huey. Pretty interesting.
Maybe we should just make this thread a general House Of Mouse / Mouse Works thread.

...what characters would you like to see in it? I think Oswald The Lucky Rabbit as well as Dr Facilier would have to be included, as well as the occasional Pixar cameo.
