The Original Mickey Mouse Club Show |
|
In 1994 the Disney Company issued this set of ten VHS video tapes from the original Mickey Mouse Club. Each one had three twenty-minute shows, and the first five had a new eight-minute introductary segment by Annette. The shows were drawn from the third and fourth seasons on ABC, and from the first season in syndication. When the compilation DVD The Best of the Mickey Mouse Club was issued in 2005 it consisted entirely of episodes that had already been featured on these tapes.

This tape has three shows from syndication, each one consisting of a first or second season "Guest Star Day" performance with a cartoon. There are no Mouseketeer numbers on this tape, though they do appear in each show. The first show is also on the Best of the Mickey Mouse Club DVD. The back cover has a typo, rendering Judy Marsh's last name as "Maruk". She was the original Sluefoot Sue at the Golden Horseshoe Revue in Disneyland. |
