One of the quintessential children's programs of the 1950s, THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB was a variety show featuring comedic skits, musical numbers, cartoons, and guest stars. It featured a rotating cast of child and teenaged performers, including Annette Funicello, who became a popular teen idol both during and after her stint on the program. THE BEST OF THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB collects the most entertaining sketches, singing, and dancing that were featured on the program during its run from 1955 until 1959. Description by Buena Vista Home Entertainment..
The Mickey Mouse Club is an American Institution that has been resurrected decade after decade proving it's standing moral fiber. In the 1950s era, The Mickey Mouse Club was it for millions of children across America. You either were a Mouseketeer or you were not. This was the day and age of adjusting your dual antennas at the back of your television set to get a clear picture in either UHF or VHF.
There was no digital cable or internet back then. When the mouse was on you sat and you watched till it was over. Children 5 days a week religiously tuned into see and hear what Mickey Mouse, Jimmy, Roy, and The Mouseketeers had planned for them. With Disney nowadays being all about the Blu Ray Disc and High Def this that and the other I amazed that they have not gotten off their collective lazy rear ends and digitally restored all the episodes from beginning to end. Including all the bonus materials that currently resides in the archives of Disney Studios.
