Throughout the film, the gang uses their problem solving skills and teamwork to conquer the obstacles they encounter.
Quality:
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Pet Salon is visually bright and vibrant with kid-friendly graphics. The one defect in the review copy is the screen goes black very briefly a few times throughout the film. The sound is clean and consistent throughout the film.
Final thoughts:
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Pet Salon is composed of five episodes. Each one is very cute but definitely meant for children rather than reaching multiple age groups. That being said, it is highly interactive and offers several learning opportunities for its audience. While not highly memorable or interesting for adults, it is a cute DVD to pop in the player when needing a positive way to entertain young children.
