Disney Branded Television’s popular animated series sets sail with Mickey and pals embarking on new pirate-themed adventures; all-new episodes are coming to Disney Channel and Disney Junior.

The all-new season of action-packed pirate-themed adventures sends Mickey Mouse and his pals, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto, to real-world and fantastical locales. Funny, an enchanted talking playhouse voiced by Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows) comes along.
In Season 2, Mickey and the gang visit magical lands—such as Pirate World, Underwater Ocean World, Prehistoric World, and Herotropolis—where they become powerful superheroes. Funny also turns into a modern-day jet, helping the pals explore real-world cultures, from observing Lunar New Year in Seoul to celebrating Día de los Muertos in Mexico City.
