THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB (Week One)


Rediscover one of the most popular family shows on television "the Mickey
Mouse Club"! A visionary show that
sparked a renaissance in children’s programming, the Mickey Mouse Club has
never been a part of the Treasures
Collection before. Here are the famous Mouseketeers, the mouse-ear hats,
the music, the skits, and more. The
DVD programs are presented as the show was, with Monday’s Fun With Music
Day, Tuesday’s Guest Star Day,
Wednesday’s Anything Can Happen Day, Thursday’s Circus Day and Friday’s
Talent Round-Up Day. Bonus
materials include a retrospective with film historian Leonard Maltin and
the original Mousketeers; merchandising
and publicity materials, and much more.

Liner Notes From Host Leonard Maltin:


Walt Disney never did anything half-heartedly. When he committed to the
idea of a daily one-hour filmed
television show for children, he wound up producing more than a show: he
created a pop culture phenomenon.
Watching The Mickey Mouse Club became a daily ritual for millions of kids,
and the talented youngsters known as
the Mouseketeers were overnight sensations.

Now, for the first time in decades, we are pleased to present the first
week’s worth of hour-long shows that
aired Monday to Friday on the ABC Television Network.

In special bonus features, you’ll see the original animated openings as no
viewer ever did in the 1950s in
color. There is also color footage of the Mouseketeers rehearsing for their
television debut at the opening day of
Disneyland in 1955.

Best of all, we get to catch up with six of the original performers Sharon
Baird, Bobby Burgess, Lonnie
Burr, Doreen Tracey, Cubby O’Brien, Karen Pendleton and share their
memories of being cast in the show,
working on the Disney studio lot, competing with one another, and forging a
special relationship with head
Mouseketeer Jimmie Dodd. Home movie footage highlights a special tribute to
the man who personified the
program and its ideals.

Whether you’re a baby boomer with happy memories of watching the show or a
younger Disney fan who’s
curious to know what the shouting was all about, this time-trip to 1955 has
much to offer.
