The Disney DVD logo played, but the sky was in deep shades of purple and red combined, and when Tinker Bell flew into the screen, she was completely transformed into a deformed robotic figure and flew off while making beeping sounds.
"WARNING: This episode, which was originally going to made for Season 3, was made by a former animator of Playhouse Disney, he goes by the name of Brandon Hacht. He was quickly fired due to the episode's content. If you are easily sensitive, turn back now. Watch at your own risk."
It then showed the logo, but it was entirely robot themed. it was gray except for the letters which were red, the background was grey instead of blue and the door which represented the O in "Clubhouse" was the automatic door.
After the intro, the title card appeared. But it was different the background was red instead of blue & the text was black and in a robot font and the title read out "Toodles' Virus." I was puzzled by the title, but my brother got concerned.
The head now looked like Toodles instead of Mickey, the body became much more like Toodles' robotic body, the glove balloon was now replaced with the robotic arm with the sharp claws, same happened with the leg and shoe, the slide now was replaced with the tentacle, the fence was chrome and had spikes all over it, the garage was robotic themed, Pluto's dog house was broken, and everything else turned metallic with the same colors as Toodles.
After the montage, it showed the Toodles' clubhouse within it's spot, with all of the robots within the robotic park, heck even some of the robots resembled the characters who died, such as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Goofy, Professor Von Drake, Chip, Dale, Clarabelle, Pete, Willie the Giant, Mortimer and the others.
"ATTENTION ALL OF MY ROBOTS! I AM YOUR NEW LEADER! YOU WILL DO AS I SAY, AND YOU WILL NOT FIGHT BACK IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, AND IF YOU DO, YOU'LL BE TERMINATED BY MY CLUBHOUSE! DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND ME?!" Toodles shouted.
The robots then cheered, as they all marched offscreen, as Toodles looked at the camera and said "And as for you viewers, I'll let you know this ONE TIME, AND ONE TIME ONLY. INTERFERE WITH MY PLANS, AND YOU'LL BE ANNIHILATED!".
Instead of it showing clips from the episode in the credits, it had a dark background with Mickey's ghost glowing red, with the credits underneath him, and the music playing in the background was "Sadness" from Sonic Adventure DX.
The image of Toodles in his virus form up close on screen with his eyes and mouth deformed and completely black. A loud high pitched screamer from the Maze Game was heard as the image flashed on the screen, scaring the living hell out of me as-well.
Meet Mickey Arora (Manish Paul), a skilled hacker who prances around in bright T-shirts with quirky slogans, brighter sneakers and a spiky hairdo. He is a lazy lad, who likes to access restricted or guarded systems and thinks it's funny to install viruses into computers. He does by writing very little programming code. A smooth operator of the virtual world, he hits a rough patch when he is caught in a predicament which requires him to turn into an investigator overnight.
Mickey Virus tries too hard to be cool. There is fun typography and graphics, characters dressed like they are models for the T-shirt brand Threadless and a sound design which draws from the sounds often heard on computers. But in director Saurabh Varma's obsession with making the computer world fun and up-to-date, he forgets the need to tell a story well. As a result, the supporting characters only have interesting names - Floppy, Chutney and Pancho - and nothing else. There's a whodunit about which viewers couldn't care less and a long climax in which the criminal conspiracy is explained much like a drab computer lesson
As the eponymous hero of the film, Paul gets to do everything in the film but dance. (Though there's a little jig in the opening song.) But Mickey Virus isn't the launch pad that showcases his comic timing or his good screen presence. Paul is let down by a poor script which is bereft of humour and a sense of genuine thrill. Elli Avram, currently stuck in the Bigg Boss house in Lonavala, has even little to do here other than be the object of Mickey's desire. So little that her voice is dubbed and she does a bizarre dance in a mini skirt as part of a dream sequence.
As a viewer, the only time we were moved was when an iPad was destroyed in a fight sequence. That's not a good sign for a film in which the humans are the real heroes.

China is on a seven-day Lunar New Year holiday starting Friday, a period when the Shanghai Disney park would be usually packed with tourists. Last year Shanghai Disney had to stop selling tickets to visitors as the park got overcrowded.
Many businesses including retailers, airlines, travel agencies and hotel operators are on high alert, as health authorities fear the infection rate could accelerate over the Lunar New Year, when hundreds of millions of Chinese travel at home and abroad during the week-long holiday.
The outbreak has already prompted seven Chinese films that were set to premiere during the holiday to postpone screenings, forgoing what is usually the best week of the year at the Chinese box office.
The impact on businesses is set to increase as China discourages locals from gathering in crowded places. It has already stepped up measures to contain the virus with public transport suspensions in 10 cities, shutting of temples and the rapid construction of a new hospital to treat those infected.

C-type viruses were formed in heterotransplants of 5/14 human urogenital tumours which had been serially transferred in nude mice of NIH(S) background. Except for one case in which C-type particles were present in the epithelial cells as well as the connective tissue, the viruses were only found within the stroma of the heterotransplanted tumours. Peroxidase labelling with anti-mouse serum demonstrated that the connective tissue supporting the transplanted human tumours was of mouse origin. Competition radioimmunoassays demonstrated that MuLV interspecies viral protein was present in high titre in the transplanted tumour extracts and also in extracts of 2 spontaneous mouse-tumour extracts. These data suggest that endogenous viruses of the nude mice are activated by the graft, and only subsequently infect the human tumour cells and form particles.
