Mouseterpiece Theater is an American animated television show that ran on the Disney Channel.

It premiered on the channel's launch date on April 18, 1983,[1] and continued with reruns into the 1990s.

Like Masterpiece Theatre, it used a section of Jean-Joseph Mouret's Suite of Symphonies for brass, strings and timpani No.

George Plimpton hosted and gave commentary and background information before and after each cartoon.

Each show tended to have a theme; Goofy's emergence as the staid everyman character for example.
