Playhouse Disney (video game)

Playhouse Disney is a 1999 party video game developed by GladGames Silicon Valley and published by Disney Interactive. It features characters from the most popular TV shows on Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney block at the time and features locations from said shows. The game is much like the Hudson Soft-produced Mario Party series, where you compete in mini-games to win the game.

The game was released on both the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation on June 25, 1999. A version on the Dreamcast was released as a North American, European, and Australian launch title, launching on September 9, October 14, and November 30, 1999, respectively.

Sequel and reboot
A sequel titled, Imagine and Learn with Playhouse Disney was released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, V.Smile, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and as a launch title for the Xbox 360. It was once again developed by GladGames Silicon Valley and published by Buena Vista Games.

A reboot titled, Disney Junior was released in 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and as a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS. The PlayStation Move is required for the PlayStation 3 version, the Kinect is required for the Xbox 360 version, and the Wii version required no required accessory as the motions of the game are controlled by the Wii remote. This time, the game was developed by GladGames Toronto and was published by Disney Interactive Studios.

A sequel to the reboot, Disney Junior: Live the Magic was released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita. It was developed by CashGrab Toronto (the new name for GladGames) and was published by Disney Interactive Studios for the final time.

The most recent game in the reboot series, Disney Junior Dance Party! was released in 2019 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by CashGrab Vancouver and published by Outright Games with distribution by Disney, it was the first game in the series to exclusively be released digitally.
