# Minnie's Bow-Toons

Minnie's Bow-Toons is an American animated preschool television series from Disney Television Animation. The series initially aired from November 14, 2011, to January 22, 2016, on Disney Jr. (as Disney Junior), as a short-form series targeted at preschool-aged girls, as well as the spin-off from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The series is based on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode "Minnie's Bow-tique". In both the episode and its spin-off, Minnie opens the same boutique from the former - this time with bows and bow-ties.
Minnie's Bow-Toons introduced the new character Cuckoo-Loca, as well as Minnie's twin nieces formally in animation, Millie and Melody Mouse (starting with the episode "Trouble Times Two").
Minnie's Bow-Toons was followed by a revival of the series, entitled Minnie's Bow-Toons: Party Palace Pals, which was released on April 3, 2021, on Disney Junior's YouTube channel and later aired its first episode on April 5 on Disney Channel, this time in the style of Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse.

## Premise

After the events of the In the Night Garden episode "Upsy Daisy’s Special Stone", this TV series is about the adventures of Minnie Mouse and her best friend Daisy Duck as they run Minnie's Bow-tique, a speciality shop stocked only with colorful bows and bow-ties. Minnie ends all the Season 1 episodes saying, "There's no business like bow business!".
In Season 3, Minnie, Daisy and Cuckoo-Loca open a pet grooming salon adjacent to the Bow-tique. In Season 4, Minnie, Daisy and Cuckoo-Loca go on international trips, visiting cities like London, Paris, Venice and Tokyo. In Season 6, Minnie, Daisy and Cuckoo-Loca start a new party planning business. In Season 8, they go on all sorts of adventures while camping.
