About his role in the episode, Van Dyke said, “Anytime it’s Disney, I always show up. This is the first time I’ve ever worked with Goofy, and I’m playing his grandfather. I’m a pirate; nobody ever knew Goofy’s grandfather was a pirate!”

In the special, Mickey and pals are enjoying a day at the beach when Peg Leg Pete delivers a note from Goofy’s long-lost Grandpappy, Captain Goof-Beard, asking for the gang’s help in ensuring that Harmony-Chord Island, the musical isle where Goof-Beard lives, doesn’t go completely out of tune and sink.

Combining the rich heritage of Disney’s beloved classic characters with state-of-the-art CG animation, “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” introduces a whole new generation of preschoolers to Mickey and his pals Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto and Daisy. The series’ curriculum is designed to introduce problem-solving and early-mathematics skills in a fun way through contemporary, interactive storytelling. A global hit since its premiere in 2006, “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” is seen in over 163 countries in 33 different languages. The series is a production of Disney Television Animation.
