History Characters / HouseOfMouse

* RunningGag: The joke where Horace is ordered to "Hit it!" and then physically slams the equipment with a tool first occurs in ''"The Three Caballeros"''. At this point, the equipment isn't alive yet. That update was made in ''"Dennis the Duck"'', 23 episodes later. The joke was repeated in ''"Donald Wants to Fly"'' and ''"Humphrey in the House"'' by means of an acceptable scene reuse. ''"Pete's House Of Villains"'' changes it up by putting the Big Bad Wolf in Horace's seat and him blowing at the DVD player to get it going. The DVD player is confused, but not in pain this time.

--> '''Clone:''' "Hello, dear. I'm a woman!"

* TakeThat: Whatever happened behind the scene that inspired the Censor Monkeys must have been something, because "mean-spirited" is too light a word to use for their first appearance. They stop the short ''"Donald's Charmed Date"'' because it's too violent and without consequences. They want Donald to wear a helmet and pillows and for the sound effects to be replaced by comical ones. At that last demand, [[AnvilOnHead a safe falls on the trio while making a comical sound]] and Mickey [[AsideComment turns to the audience]] to ask, "Was that comical enough?" with one of the most sadistic faces ever drawn on him.

!! Bert
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_works_bert.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Mickey's New Car"'', 1999]]

A lazy staff member at the Ajax Gas Station.

* {{Expy}}: Specifically his role in ''"Mickey's New Car"'' evokes Maurice from Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Marsupilami}}'' adaptation. The only noteworthy difference is that Bert does not do [[GrossoutShow anything gross]] like the earlier ape.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: He was the first new character created for ''Mickey Mouse Works''.
* LazyBum: Overlaps with TheStoic in that ''nothing'' is interesting enough to get him to go through the effort of a reaction. The only time he's seen performing any activity is when he's (disinterestedly) kiting with some friends in ''"Donald's Valentine Dollar"''.
* TheVoiceless: Implied to be talkative off-screen in ''"Mickey's New Car"'', but never says a word in the show.

* MoonLogicPuzzle: How does the staff recharge the battery after it's been left without support? By ''[[VisualPun charging]]'' it, [[TheCavalry weapons, trumpet, and banner in hand]].

* AnimateInanimateObject: Unusual for the Duck-Mouse setting, but fits the setting of more than a few guests. the DVD player's also not the only living object that's part of the staff.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_works_reform_club.png]]

* {{Expy}}: They're almost eerily alike to Donald and Daisy Duck.

* AnimateInanimateObject: Unusual for the Duck-Mouse setting, but fits the setting of more than a few guests. Mike's also not the only living object that's part of the staff.

* MamaBear: Towards Shelby and his siblings that may or may not exist. She's an exaggeration in that her child is a BrattyHalfPint who delights in the power her protection gives him and in that she herself always presumes the worst of people upon meeting them and prematurely threatens them to be on their best behavior.

* BrattyHalfPint: Shelby is solely concerned with doing what he wants, which often enough includes purposely being a pain to look after. He knows he's protected by his mother's aggression set to unleash if he'd not be taken care of properly. Acting like a responsible adult therefore doesn't net results nearly as good as fighting fire with fire does. As happens in ''"Mickey vs. Shelby"'':

!! Mr. Jollyland
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_works_mister_jollyland.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Roller Coaster Painters"'', 1999]]
-> Voiced by: Jeff Bennett

The owner of Jollyland and a regular judge in contests.

* BigFun: He's not a big as the trope usually goes for, but he's also far from thin.
* HighClassGlass: He has a monocle on his right eye.
* OneJudgeToRuleThemAll: Wherever Mr. Jollyland shows up as a judge, he is the one who makes the decision on who wins. Even if the winner is a monster, like ''"Donald on Ice"'', or a dog, like in ''"Mickey's Christmas Chaos"''. Notably, he always goes for a DarkHorseVictory.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Either that or Jollyland is named after him. Which is less likely.

[[folder: Magical Mouse]]
!! Magical Mouse
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_works_magical_mouse.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Presto Pluto"'', 2000]]

A stage magician who is friends with Mickey and Minnie.

* LovelyAssistant: He has two who probably are twins. NoNameGiven is in effect for them.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Unless "Magical" would actually by his real name.
* PowerSource: A version of ClothesMakeTheSuperman in that his WhiteGloves are enchanted and necessary for him to perform his tricks. The gloves have a mind of their own and desire to be with him, doing all they can to find him as long as they aren't being worn by someone else.
* StageMagician: He is one, but he falls under MagiciansAreWizards because the magic of his gloves is real.
* UnfortunateItemSwap: Magical and Mickey bring their clothes to the same cleaner and inevitably their WhiteGloves got swapped. Mickey and Minnie have been invited to Magical's show and leave that evening. Magical's gloves are left in Mickey's rooms, from which they tried to escape but accidentally ended up on Pluto's paws. He gained functional hands from wearing them and access to their magic, which he immediately exploited. His downfall came when he performed a GloveSlap on Butch, thereby freeing one glove that quickly freed the other. Meanwhile, Magical's performance had been awful and he finally realized the gloves he was wearing weren't his (going so far as to recognize they were Mickey's). Before the break was over, though, his gloves came back to him and he could finish the show adequately.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_works_reform_club.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Around the World in Eighty Days"'', 1999]]
-> Voiced by: Tony Jay (ostrich) and April Winchell (pelican)

The Reform Club is situated in London and only includes wealthy members.

* CanonForeigner: In a spin-off setting. All the characters in ''"Around the World in Eighty Days"'' are from prior Disney material and some specifically are their selves as they appeared in ''Disney/MickeysChristmasCarol''. The ostrich and the pelican are the sole new faces.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Reform Club as it appeared in ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''.
* HighClassGlass: The ostrich wears a monocle on his left eye and the pelican carries around a lorgnette.
* PelicanPackagePouch: Scrooge stuffs a newspaper with news he dislikes in the pelican's beak.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: They're friends with Scrooge and supportive of Mickey, but they don't act on either loyalty. At best they [[MoralityPet lightly berate]] Scrooge, but mostly they just tease him with Mickey's successes. They know of Scrooge's ulterior motive to claim Mickey's inheritance, but [[BystanderSyndrome they do nothing to help Mickey]].

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_works_seagull.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Mickey and the Seagull"'', 2000]]

A member of the seagull patrol that guide boats safely from and to the harbor.

* FurryConfusion: The seagulls are an organized part of the harbor and the patrol leader even wears some clothes, but they still qualify as animal-animals instead of people-animals.
* InvincibleIncompetent: The seagull that'd become Mickey's partner is this. Through his bumbling, he incapacitated the rest of the patrol thus leaving no one to go with Mickey but him. Troublesomely, he was [[IronicFear afraid of flying]]. Only when a heavy storm came up that threatened to smash Mickey against the rocks did he gather [[LetsGetDangerous the courage to head out]] and somehow managed to do a good job despite his inexperience and the dire circumstances. He lost his fear of flying after that and became a full member of the patrol.
* NonHumanSidekick: The seagulls are this to the boatsmen while they're at sea.
* SwallowedWhole: Done to the seagull by a shark. After traveling a bit through the RibcageStomach, the seagull unknowingly sat down on a keg filled with gunpowder and lit it with his lantern. The explosion allowed him to escape.

* OppositeSexClone: She's a female clone of and made by Ludwig Von Drake. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded by her first words on the show]]:

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Tiki becomes this once Pluto decides he rather stays with Mickey than start anything with her and she refuses to acknowledge his "no".
