Dance Star Mickey by Mattel with video – 2010 Toy Fair

My kids loved Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Playhouse Disney and cries of “Oh Toodles” rang merrily throughout the house for many months.  I must also mention that the Playhouse Disney—Live on Stage!™ show at Disney World in Florida was a huge hit with both the boys when we went last year.

From the looks of it, this was the big deal toy of the season from Fisher Price and really when you mix Fisher Price and Disney can you really ever go wrong?  You can not help yourself by making comparisons to Tickle Me Elmo, but if that is the case call Dance Star Mickey the Tickle Me Elmo 2.0.  Mickey dances, walks, talks, and does the moonwalk all the while encouraging your kids to get up and dance as well.  He has multiple types of music you can boogie down to and do not miss his grand finale to one of his signature dances.  I was darn impressed with all that Mickey could do.

I have a my own video of Mickey below which I got on the first day of the Toy Fair, and you can check him out.  This little guy has some activities and has some jokes, in that wholesome Disney fashion.  I can probably take a guess and say this is going to be one hard toy to find when it comes out.

DANCE STAR MICKEY: It’s time for kids to get up and dance as their fun-loving pal Mickey Mouse comes to life right before their eyes! The new, innovative Dance Star Mickey walks and talks, and best of all, he dances his way into the limelight, topping off his skills with an “out of this world” grand finale to one of his signature dances.  With one press of Mickey’s foot, Dance Star Mickey comes to life for a fun interactive experience.  Dance Star Mickey grooves to five different songs with styles including Soul, Disco, Latin and Techno with that extra special finale.  But that’s not all – Dance Star Mickey is filled with interactive activities and silly humor, too.  Requires six AA alkaline batteries, included.
