You’re invited to Minnie Mouse’s masquerade ball together with all of Minnie’s friends. Donald Duck, Pluto and Goofy arrive, only to discover that Goofy has lost a shoe. Pete appears in lots of different outfits because he’s trying to have the best costume – but everyone’s going to win a prize anyway. Minnie has decided to dress as a princess and Mickey as a prince, so they have to make their royal crowns. After the characters find Goofy’s shoe and finish the decorations, the ball begins and everybody dances. During the movie, you’re asked to count, sort and identify shapes with the characters.

Ideas to discuss with your children
Minnie’s Masquerade is the first story from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Masquerade DVD. It’s a story about having fun with friends, and helping your friends out when they have a problem. Everybody at the ball gets a prize for coming dressed in costume, sending the message that they’re all different but are rewarded just the same. Kids are encouraged to get involved in counting, identifying shapes and sorting.
Values in this movie that you could follow up with your children include:
- helping people who have a problem
- having a go and having fun with friends, rather than trying to be better than everyone else.
