New episodes will include pirate-themed adventures for Disney’s iconic character, Mickey Mouse, and his pals — Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto — as they visit real-world and fantastical locales with Funny, an enchanted talking playhouse voiced by Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows).

Season 2 finds Mickey and the gang visiting a variety of 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.
