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.
Editor's Note
The beloved MICKEY MOUSE CLUB had huge success when it aired in 1955. The daily variety show starred famed Annette Funicello and other real kids from around the US. It ran for three years before it was cancelled. Though there have been several popular revivals, the first season holds a place in America's collective heart as the essence of an innocent and idyllic childhood. This release features the show's first week (October 3-7, 1955), alongside some previously unreleased footage, newsreels, songs, circus acts, comedy acts, Mickey Mouse cartoons, special guests, and, as ever, a few surprises.
