Premiering on August 22 at 8:10 a.m. ET, the show “is a whimsical animated series introducing preschoolers’ first pal Mickey Mouse, and his friends – Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy and Pluto – to Funny, an enchanted talking playhouse, who takes the Sensational Six on adventures of all types to anywhere their imagination will lead them,” the press release reads.

On Disney Channel, Disney’s Magic Bake-Off will begin airing on August 13 at 10:30 p.m. ET.
