Something I learned while getting into Mickey lore due to the PD entry back in early '24 is that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has a lot of really random cameos from the original shorts, like it's Sonic Mania for Mickey Mouse or something. Salty the Seal, Wilbur the Grasshopper, Butch the Bulldog, these are all otherwise dormant characters they just decided to bring back for Clubhouse. Figaro from Pinocchio is there not because they wanted to put in something from Pinocchio, but because he had crossovers with Pluto back after Pinocchio first came out.
It's kinda interesting to think that some things we may see and not think much of, that don't appear to have avid fanbases, are basically someone else's Sonic Mania or Smash Ultimate. There's gotta have been some wiki editor out there back when Clubhouse first aired who didn't mind watching a "baby show" and was deep into 40s Disney and always anticipated the next big Clubhouse cameo. God bless you, wherever you are.
