Premise

Mickey's Farm httpsiytimgcomvils7kW7WVWRgmaxresdefaultjpg

Mickey, a new farm dog, has just moved to the farm with his best friend, Megan. Each episode follows Mickey as he experiences new things on the farm and sometimes gets himself into troublesome situations. With the help of Megan, his friends Guy the goat and Fiona the likeable ferret and their Magic Book, Mickey always resolves his problems and learns something new. Each episode ends with an original song, which reiterates new things learned. The show is intended to motivate children to explore new things, ask questions, problem-solve and make new friends. Mickey hopes everyone can visit the gang again soon.
