It's as if this happened yesterday since my memories of the MMC are so strong. I know Annette was the most popular but Darlene was by far the most talented. Younger generations can watch UA-cam videos that demonstrate how great Darlene was.
I totally agree. Annette had a natural warmth that appealed to so much of the audience. Darlene, on the other hand, had a natural talent that appealed to industry insiders who felt SHE would be the one to go on to a lucrative career. Unfortunately, her parents (especially her father, I've read) demanded equal airtime,etc. This caused resentment from the other mouseketeers, and - try as she might - Darlene was never able to capture the star so many felt she deserved. Later run-ins with the law would tarnish her image. It's a very sad story, much like the Supremes, except in this story, Florence Ballard becomes the much-loved star, and Diana Ross never gets a break. To add salt to the wound, Annette died on Darlene's birthday. Just sad.
Back then if your kid’s said we’re going to watch the Mickey Mouse Club. Parent’s were assured it was good decent programming. Now you never know what they’re going to sneak in the show.
Austin Klein ... I can relate to the running home bit ... the show had the ability to transport you to another world ... the modern versions of the original series lacked that magic eventhough the kids were talented
No problem in Chula Vista. The show came on at five, and we got off school at three. I watched that show every day. I hope they come out with dvds for all the seasons. I have the bus set, but it only covers about a week.
I'm actually amazed at how a daily show could keep coming up with these complicated routines. This ballet number should have taken a lot of practice and planning. Outstanding number.
I'm guessing borderline child abuse had a lot to do with it. Did you know both Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney were both prescribed amphetamines as children to keep up with the work demand? Sorry to spoil the mood.
Thank You for sharing this, you dont see this kind of talent anymore. These kids had real talent and the shows were fun with real leasons to teach the kids.
At least The Disney Girls from The 1950's were kicking their heels up in the air. The Disney Girls from The 90's to present? Mostly kicking their heels at each other.
I was 5-years old in 1955. It is simply amazing how talented those girls were. It was extremely competitive to be on that show. Then the MMC was on 5-nights in a row. How many television shows try to do that anymore?
@@tedlawrence4189 Some old 50's movies and TV shows have beatniks playing tom tom drums, and reciting poetry at the same time. There's an old Bob Denver (the chap from Gilligan's Island) scene in an old teenage movie where he recites a sort of rap upside down, with a face drawn on his chin.
This song was written by Jimmy Dodd, himself, who wrote pretty much all the songs for the show. A more upbeat version appears on the "Fun with Music" LP.
Karen (little blonde girl) was a very brave woman..she was raised as a dancer and when she 37, she had an accident which caused her to be paralyzed from the waist down. Regardless, she achieved a university degree, and kept an upbeat personality throughout her life
That speaks volumes for Karen and proves one thing. With hard work and perseverance,most of all determination anyone with disabilities can overcome any all obstacles.
I don't see why they won't air all three versions in reruns. There was this version, one in the 70's which is the one that I grew up watching, and then there we the 1989-96 version.
@@michaelodonnell9756 I’m surprised they don’t have the 1989-1990 version on Disney Plus. That version had so many famous people which included Brittney Soears, Christina Aguleria, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, and Ryan Gosling.
I agree, but unfortunately times have changed. It would be absolutely wonderful to see it on, but this is a different era. Besides, we have no idea how many of the shows are available.

@@mickeymouseclubchannel9733 I almost didn't recognize Doreen. I didn't see anything episodes of the first season so I wasn't familiar with Nancy. I could have swore that would have been Sharon since she's most commonly used in these numbers. I recognized Bobby right off the bat as the one in the chef's outfit. For the record, Annette was on the far right for most of this number from what I noticed.
This nowadays would count as promoting old-school obedient housewife propaganda. Another thing is that rock-and-roll and the guitar was something Mr. Disney struggled with embracing. At the time, there was a craze which was going to make the Mickey Mouse Club shorter lived than Walt wanted. He liked jazz a whole lot, but the new craze which integrated jazz with country music was something he struggled with too much.

My late mom was 11 when this was filmed. She told me she would hurry home from school to watch and loved this show
These kids were incredibly talented. What I liked about the Mickey Mouse Club was that it was a kid's program in variety show format.

Oh yes! The producers will do anything to sneak things in 😂
I ran home after school school to watch The Mickey Mouse Club. They were reruns. I have a CD of TMMC and my kids Kids Loved it too.

I was a big fan of the MMC and I was going on 10 when the show this show aired in 1956.. Just fading memories now.

The MMC was an incredibly sophisticated children's TV show for 1955 . More so than many adult " prime time " programs at the time .
Thank God that at least that this took place way before Christina Aguilera made her debut.
ima glad with all of that jumping-about? That none of the pots/pans?
In the background FELL. What a miracle.
Talented kids!
At least The Disney Girls from The 1950's were kicking their heels up in the air. The Disney Girls from The 90's to present? Mostly kicking their heels at each other.
Very cute and entertaining! Look how young Annette is. But I wanted to see the cookies!
You wouldn't want to. They got burnt anyway😕

The section with spoken words to music sounds like an early form of American rap music--back in the 1950's! 🎵
Was just thinking same thing. LOL.

That Bob Denver rap is called "Ho Daddy" from a 1964 teen beach movie, apparently....
This song was written by Jimmy Dodd, himself, who wrote pretty much all the songs for the show. A more upbeat version appears on the "Fun with Music" LP.
1:47 Sounds like how Annette sings in the late 60's
Mickey mouse club: clean wholesome fun for kids
This show was quite sophisticated for its time. Prior shows would likey bore adults. The songwriting was amazing.
Karen (little blonde girl) was a very brave woman..she was raised as a dancer and when she 37, she had an accident which caused her to be paralyzed from the waist down. Regardless, she achieved a university degree, and kept an upbeat personality throughout her life

This is so 🆒, because Minnie 🐁 is giving a cooking class. 🤣!
Exactly when the cookies burn
I need to show this to my grandkids.
Hurry before they'll eventually become victims of The Dreadful 90's Version.
I guess that the cookies got burnt or something.
that ole wind section earning thier pay
The Mousekommunications Center hasn't changed much in 65 years
This is how I feel when I cook
We need shows like this on TV.....there is nothing good on TV....😕
The only reason i clicked on this was the watch them make the cookies wasnt ant cookies made at all
much LOVE Kimmyssong
It angers me that The Disney Channel does not air this anymore. For that reason, I refuse to watch The Disney Channel; it has gone to seed.
Now The Disney Channel has teenage brats that shows way more skin than talent.
I don't see why they won't air all three versions in reruns. There was this version, one in the 70's which is the one that I grew up watching, and then there we the 1989-96 version.

did they even sell Minnie Mouse cookie mix?

THe first rap song.
I hate that Minnie was not axial my in the Sketch it was great nonetheless
Ahh...when little girls looked like little girls.
And acted like REAL little girls as well. Are Today's Disney Girls even real girls at all?
@@joshberman3659 Mostly, they are the unfortunate daughters of feminists!
Yeah, that I can believe😕
I assume that was Jimmie and wife Ruth at 1:18 .

One thing you forgot. How long are you supposed to preheat the oven?
I know that the girl on the end is Annette. Who are the other three?
That’s Darlene on the far left, and Doreen is next to her. The girl on Annette’s right is Nancy.

IS THE DANCING OPTIONAL!? AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
I wish Disney will release the original Mickey Mouse club series on blue ray, dvd, 4K. I’m not interested in buying Disney+
I don't see that happening anytime soon. Primarily due to music licensing issues.
Did they lip synch?
Where ic minie mouse
they chopped her up and put her mouse meat in the cookies...
@@vid888vid 😆🤣😂😅😄😃
👍
2:20 somethings wrong here those aren’t the real Mouseketeers they’re fakers and the chef look like a 100 years old
Bonnie is no faker she was on the third season and could tap and sing better than most of them. R.I.P.
Also the chef is Mouseketeer Bobby Bergess who was I believe 14 with a face mustache lol
Those aren’t the real Mouseketeers they’re fakers & the chef is 100 years old
Nice to see someone else critiquing Disney besides me🙂
