=== Development ===
The idea for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: The Movie was first conceived by Bobs Gannaway, the creator of the show and movie, while he was making new episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Gannaway persisted, however, and by 2007, he and DisneyToon Studios had secured the rights to the Playhouse Disney show. By then, they began to plan out the story, characters, and designs for the film for around a year before they finally started production in late 2007. Originally with the working title Mickey's Big Clubhouse Movie, the title was changed to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: The Movie after screenwriters Alex Hirsch and Jeff Bushey revealed that the film would take on more serious matters, while still keeping the story faithful to the show.

Originally, during casting sessions, director Bobs Gannaway opted to have Toodles have a face and voice long before the episode "Happy Birthday, Toodles" with Tara Strong providing the voice for Toodles.

However, Tara Strongs's original performance as Toodles is available in the director's cut of the film, available on the Blu-ray release on August 17, 2013.
