- 56 years ago this week, ABC debuted the original "Mickey Mouse Club" back in 1955 and it will continue until 1959. Over the years, it was syndicated in reruns until the 1970's. By 1977, it was returned to TV in syndication under the new title "The New Mickey Mouse Club" with different Mouseketeers. By 1989, it was returned once again as "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club" and it was aired on the Disney Channel with new Mouseketeers, but in later seasons, newer members joined the show including Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Both before they enter the music scene. The show was renamed in the later season under the title MMC. Disney Channel ran that show for 5 seasons until it was canceled in 1995. We're not going to do 3 different versions of the show, but we're going to take you back to 1995 where we will present to you a TV special called "The Mickey Mouse Club".
This special was aired on the Disney Channel back in 1995, just shortly after MMC was canceled, and it gives you a inside story about the original Mouseketeers that they are on that show. It was narrated by Frankie Avalon, he was a friend of Annette Funicello. He did many of his hits including the classic "Venus" and other songs.
I hope you enjoy this special. I used to like that show, but I'm not a huge fan of the show, because I'm too old for that. Here it is in its entirety. - Zábava
Born in 1951... Rushed home from school everyday to watch the Mickey Mouse Club. Such talented kids. It was a good time to grow up.
I did that too. Ok they were re runs in 70's. But I Love this show
Too bad many of those kids were placed in the hands of pedophiles on a consistant basis. It's no wonder they have breakdowns during thier adult lives. Brittney Spears is a prime example.
I was born in 1951 too & I really loved this program too! ❤️
Born in 1946. I watched the Mickey Mouse Club faithfully!
@Carol Harris She was more right than anyone knew!
I met Annette four times Introduced to her backstage at the Dick Clark show in New York , and a few times at her shows. Here in Los Angeles she was my neighbor in Encino. We went to the same Dentist! The last time I saw her in her wheelchair I gave her a special handmade butterfly shawl I got in Egypt. She loved it and wrote me a beautiful thank you note! She was a beautiful woman, will always love and miss her!🙏❤️💞😇
That's very sweet, Roseanne, I was in her fan club for many years, had such a crush on her - so sorry to say I never got the opportunity to meet her in person as illness overcame her and she made less frequent public appearances - but she lives on in all our hearts and always will.
Thank you for sharing
You're very lucky. I recently started watching everything I can find with Annette and listening to some of her albums and I've fallen in love with her. I wish I could have had an opportunity to meet her when she was alive. She is so sweet and loveable and gorgeous. I can understand why so many guys had crushes on her because I can only smile when I watch something with her.
That was awesome.
She was my favourite too, she was a very talented and beautiful ❤️
Cubby O'Brien went on to play drums with The Carpenters for six years. He's a true professional.
I'm glad that he and Bobby Burgess are still keeping themselves busy. Same with Lonnie.
Interesting because Karen Carpenter was the original drummer.
@@lwmson True, until it was decided she ought to be front and center singing. I sometimes wonder had she had been allowed her comfort zone if we would still have her alive to enjoy.
Did not know that so thank you!
I was surprised that they didn't mention that fact!
Oh my god, I cried so hard while listening to Annette talking, it is heartbreaking what happened to her, she will live in our hearts forever.
I know I had to pause and turn off the video practically every time she started talking, just so I could collect my myself
@@Thomas_H._SmithAnnette wasn't the angel she was made out to be. She toadied up to Walt and schemed her way forward to push out Darlene, even though Darlene was much more talented than she was
I agree with you. It was so sad what happened to Annette. She was my favorite.
What a horrible thing to say.
@@marilynmcfall7637 Who are you responding to?
My sister and I got hooked on the show in the mid-70's when The Mickey Mouse Club ran in syndication. We liked them all. My sister liked Annette and Tommy most. I was always partial to Doreen and especially Cheryl.
I ran home from school to watch The Mickey Mouse Club.
I loved doreen she was so beautiful miss her dearly very kind heart ❤
i loved Karen and Cubby the most. I was only 6 when it first came on TV in 1955 and they were the littlest, like me. i loved them all and Roy and Jimmy, and the whole experience of the show as a whole, this film really nails what it was like and what it meant and how unforgettable it is. and Walt Disney, like someone said in this show, he was like a dad, a mega dad, not just with the Mickey Mouse Club but everything he did creatively, i first went to Disneyland the year it opened when i was 7, my dad took a home movie of me and my mom on the tea cup rides and me turning the wheel as hard and fast as could be, and then leaning back, spinning, my mom smiling, like my dad often said, she was a good sport. the home movie really captures the joyful excitement i felt. i hadn't really thought about it at any length but this film leaves me feeling so lucky to live in that time as it was influenced by Walt Disney. it influenced my life in ways that are hard to appreciate because of being too close to have a perspective. This movie was really well done. The only improvement i can think of is to have more of it, or a second part.
Such beautiful memories of my growing up in the 1950’s . The kids were so talented . Thanks for the beautiful memories .
😅
I'm one year older than the original Mickey Mouse Club and despite my age today, my inner child continues to be so enthusiastic about the reruns that my aging adult self joins in the joy.
I'm sitting here crying....my twin and I will always be members of the Mickey Mouse Club....we loved it so much back then and it has left its' imprint on our hearts forever....M I C K E Y M O U S E....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Always love the Mickey mouse club, I watch it when I was little
I'm glad this was part of my childhood.
Mine too
Me too. Feel sorry for kids today. We had such a great childhood.
Me too!
Where were the black kids?
Stand outside a playground today watching kids and you are liable to have the cops called on you.
thats been a fake story all these years.
That's for sure. Lol
Thank you for posting this! I think it's sad that my favorite Mouseketeer (and one of the most popular and talented) Darlene Gillespie is not even aknowledged. What happened later in her life shouldn't diminish what she accomplished as a child. :(
I was a fan as well. Darleen, was a great singer. They all had talent..that said she was never my pick as the best. Each had their own special talent..and very great gifts to share. To be very honest..Darleen was never a hit with me..not saying she was not good at all..just not top on my list. Honestly I favored Doreen..
Most talented..can not agree with your statement..they all were gifted kids
Ending scene of the movie Full Metal Jacket: Entire U. S. Army marching into Hue singing the Micky Mouse theme song. Exactly ten years after they learned it.
What happened to Darlene?
@@richardbonfiglio1765 wow. too bad that didn't happen in real life, i mean, the real army guys going into Hue singing that together, it might have changed the course of h history.
Timeless...like growing up together and living to talk about it more than 50 years later...thanks so much for the post.
Walt Disney gave us baby boomers a wonderful show! Thank you!
@@charamcnuggers9534 The Mickey Mouse Show was a show back in the 50's! They featured special guest, plus did shows with Annette and Spin and Marty!
RIP Karen Pendleton. Karen passed away Oct 6, 2019.
The only fan letter I ever wrote was to Karen and I wrote it last year. I always wondered if fan mail was something she enjoyed, but now I'm especially happy I sent the letter and that perhaps she saw it and smiled. It's nice to know you are still loved, even from a fan from 63 years ago.
I did not know that. Very sad.
@@OlivePittsOnDesk As fan mail tends to be handled with great respect I don't doubt she received your letter and felt great joy in still being so warmly thought of.
@cynthia g Karen & Cubby used to close Sunday the end of the show. “Now it’s time to say goodbye to all our company.”
Karen was my favorite Mouseketeer. I loved her ringlets, and was so disappointed that my mom didn't have time (6 kids) to set my hair in pin curls every night to achieve the desired curls.
RIP Karen Pendleton 1946-2019.
Wrong again! She is still alive!
@@rudymalone1 She died of a heart attack last Sunday at the age of 73. It was on MSN news. You missed the obituary
Don't forget Annette & Doreen as well & number of them are'n't no longer with us .
@@williamhaggard451, Doreen, too? I didn't know. I just discovered and fell in love with the "Annette" series. Doreen played Val Abernathy in it. What a delightful and thoughtful story the series tells.
@@TheWriterWalker After the show ended Walt Disney had looked at for Annette' S image ..
I was born in 1950, my childhood wonderful and happy- such a unique time to live. we lived in san diego and went to Disneyland way back when.
You are older than I am.
I was born in 1950, too. I wish we could go back to the 50s and 60s.
Terry I was born in the 2000s so I missed the best part of life in 1950s. Or some of it. My generation sucks.
We lived near San Francisco in the mid 50's and watched MMC daily. In 1956 we went to Disneyland and the Mouseketeers were there. Dad had his 8mm camera and now I can watch them but it had no sound so I have to imagine! What an era that was! You would like to get into a time machine and go back and relive those days!

I was 5 years old in 1955 when I began watching the Mickey Mouse Club. Great program for kids. I remember all the children and adults from the show. Brings back happy memories.
I danced - toe shoe ballet & tap danced with the Mousekateers when I was growing up.
Oh my gosh, this is absolutely wonderful! It brings back so many sweet memories. And I can't hold back the tears.
What was so wonderful to me about the Mickey Mouse Club back then was that kids were able to be just that, kids... I will always be a huge fan.
I saw the reruns in the early to mid 70s. Loved it. Then the new one in 77. Born in 69
I am 72 and watched this show on our first b&w tv. We would go to the drive in theater West of Clinton, Iowa to watch the beach movies. When I heard Annette had passed away it was like childhood memories died too.
I remember seeing every single episode of The Mickey Mouse Club very much when I was much younger and boy did I enjoy watching it very much.
Because of this program, The Mickey Mouse Club, we all learned valuable lessons.
To those Mouseketeers who are no longer with us like Annette Funicello I want to say: "Thank you very much for making us laugh when we were younger."
May God always bless and protect those and their families who read this comment with plenty of love. ©®

We grew up with wonderful memories of this wonderful show. A show we could relate to. It’s just not like this today. I truly wish the children in my life, had this wonderful experience.
I was happy to watch the show after American Bandstand remember how we waited to see it ?!
I watched the original show every day as a child in the 50s Cubby and Karen were always my favorites because they were about my age. Watching this floods my mind with memories. Great memories of a wonderful childhood.
LOVED all those kids. They were older than me. Loved seeing Bobby evolve to adult in welk show. Still watching when I can! Heartbroken when Annette struggled, then died!
Things SO much cuter then! Would anyone think of creating those cute painted curtains now days??
I remember them so well. I was just the right age for this show. Thanks to all that were featured in this rememberence . It's sad that Darlene Gillespie was not even mentioned in this. She was such a big part of the show and the serials. I know she went through a bad period, and maybe that was when this was made. See you all real soon.
oh how I loved watching this show! saw a special about Annette on youtube-MS had taken its toll-so unrecognizable!
Poor Annette is in pretty bad shape in this show. 11:40
Thanks for posting. I saw all these shows when they aired. Now that I am old and seeing the kids again it's like life has come full circle. I wish we could watch all the episodes and serials. It brings back a really good time in all our lives.
agreed 😬 Mom bought ears for my brother and I
Loved Spin and Marty😬
It's almost odd that Darlene isn't even MENTIONED in this entire Documentary - I know that at times she was involved in litigation with Disney but it's almost weird that there isn't even a HINT that she was a popular mouseketeer ~ I would say that among the female mouseketeers Annette, Doreen, Cheryl and Darlene were probably the Top fan faves ~
It. was the. Christmas holidays, 1956. My father, mother, two younger brothers, and I were at Anaheim Disneyland. Walt Disney would lead the afternoon main street parade. All the mouseketeers would dance and sing. Jimmy Dodd sang his composition "Annette", accompanying himself on a ukulele. Annette skilfully danced a lively and graceful solo ballet. Her costume had not been fastened to appropriate areas with hair spray, a technique every gymnast knows. Part of Annette's dance was a deep lean to the right and left. The elastic on one leg of her costume didn't hold, and her left cheek was exposed. Mr. Dodd abruptly finished the song, bowed his head , cover his mouth with his hand, shook his head, and laughed in apparent embarrassment. 12 year old boy me was so sorry that her feelings would be hurt. Annette, you lovely, honest, respectful, young girl, teen ager, wife, mother of three, daughter of Italians, courageous multiple scleroses bearer for long years--how could you not be loved?
I think that's why she was excluded. That plus her legal issues.
When they showed a quick clip of “Corky and White Shadow” they showed just the dog.
everybody loved Doreen. A vindictive disney sanction against her wont erase the memory of a taleneted gal who was fun to watch.
Thanks for this fantastic video. So many wonderful memories. My all time favorite show. Never missed an episode. Would love to see all the shows again.
The 1977 edition of the Mickey Mouse Club was part of my childhood years and I got to watch the original show through reruns on the Disney Channel in its early years
I took fondly remember the 1970s syndicated version of the "MMC". I especially liked Lisa Whelchel, who was so cute and very talented.
Even though I wasn't born until 68, like most of you, I watched everyday (in reruns). I loved the show and the Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night. My 6th birthday party was even Mickey Mouse themed. Everyone wore mouse ears, name tags, the whole deal. It was an awesome party, but mom made sure to sell all of my friends on the theme without me knowing. My grandfather took me out somewhere as all the kids arrived, when I got home, everyone was there and Ta-Da!!! Party Time! Mom really went out of her way to do all of those things. 46 years later I remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, and all the cast members for being such a large and entertaining part of my childhood! 😁❤
My aunt was auditioned to be one of the Mouseketeers!! She didn't make it, ultimately, but it's a great family story.
Thank for this heartwarming memory! Cheryl was my first
'love'.... MM Forever!
I was very fortunate to have been born in 1952 and actually got to see the shows live on TV. It was the best show on TV at that time especially for kids. I memorize a lot of those opening credits.
Hearing Annette had me in tears.... I love her always. Rest in peace Princess Ann.
Lordcron, me, too. By all accounts she was a beautiful soul. Too bad she had to suffer at the end of it all. I take comfort in the wise choice she made with her second husband. He deserved an angel's medal for taking care of her.
❤
I got to see the 3D movie in the Fantasyland theater in the fifties with Annette on the swing with the flowers. We had 3D glasses. When she throws the Rose from the basket it's like she's throwing it right to you! Jimmy Dodd's bucket was filled with confetti which rained down on the audience.
@@karendurant4981, wow. That sounds wonderful!
@@TheWriterWalker I personally would've loved to have met her.
R.I.P. Roy e Disney and Annette Funicello
and Cheryl
& Doreen
I was mousekateer, my brother joe louis Orozco, I'm Alexander Orozco I used to sing along
Congrates
Wow 👏
She will never ever forget all your life tell your great great grandchildren if you get movie
Never did sink in my life I cannot carry a tune in a basket when I tried one day I dropped all the eggs
I loved the Mouseketeers as a child. My parents told me there weren't any more Mouse ears, but they were teasing & I kept mine for so long. Such wonderful memories
Gee that was a great show. One of the best shows of our childhood
When I learned of Annette's passing on the day she died back in April of this year, I was heartbroken because she was such a wonderful woman and I really felt for her going through MS. I can't believe it has already been six months since Annette died. R.I.P.
If I age half as well as Don Grady did, I'll die happy
Don Grady was really handsome.
I think this was made for the Disney Channel1995 40th Anniversary. Kind of sad watching this now. Don, Cheryl and a few others are now in a better place.
And sadly lovely and kind Annette. 🙏
...and Karen
You mean they're dead?
@@dwightpowell6673 yes. In fact, Doreen Tracey is the latest who passed, I think in 2018.
😊 Thanks a million for uploading this fantastic documentary; it's sparking a bunch of childhood memories. And I had no idea Bobby Burgess and Don Grady were Mouseketeers! ☺️
Although he wasn't a Mouseketeer, Tim Consindine was one of the show's biggest stars, starring in several MMC serials. But ironically, it was a small role he played as an adult in a movie that he was best remembered for. In the movie "Patton," he was the soldier who Patton slapped.
joe jones Who could forget him as Buzz in The Shaggy Dog?
In a reunion show Tim became an honorary Moisés tener and given his own ears!!!😁
Who changed Mouseketeers to whatever that word is??:(
So sorry about that weird spelling but my eyes don"t work very well and I have to type much slower than I used to.
Lonnie says here that he was sad when the show ended, but in his book, The Accidental Mouseketeer, he says he was thrilled... bored with the show, ready to move on, unhappy they weren’t making use of his acting abilities that were to serve him well the rest of his life.
This was a trip I so loved. Thanks for the memories.
The MMC was an incredibly sophisticated children's TV show for 1955 . More so than many adult " prime time " programs at the time . I am glad that Disney followed the ILL route of filming 35mm instead of live/kinescope route and not including the comedian or puppet . Bob Smith of Howdy Doody was a great man but the MMC blew all children shows out of the water . You could say that it influenced all the CTW shows that followed .
I am glad it was part of my childhood too
I loved watching the MM Club. I had a dream and waited for my dream man. It was like being a princess.
Sweet Memories ~ i could Say So Much More ~ Maybe Latter~ Thanks For The Memories ~ RIP Annette,Karen & Jimmy
My sister and I always came home after school and immediately put on The Mickey Mouse Club. Sometimes, my stepfather would come home early and change the channel. After he did that, he would fall asleep on the couch. If my sister or I changed the channel back, he would wake up, get mad and change it back.
I think that's why Annette was so popular. She was the most ethnic of the group. Many minorities identified with her, including "colored" children. My dad said his younger siblings used to say, "Annette is ALMOST black!! Look at that dark, curly hair!! She's one of us!!". lol
FutureGirl2033,
I was 8 in the first year of the show.
Ethnicity was not something known to us kids during that time. We wanted to be friends with them.
Lori K. Maybe not to White kids, because they were used to seeing people like them on TV.
Did you actually listen to the narration? ABC wanted to put a lot more commercials in the show since it was so popular. Walt Disney was against it. ABC owned the rights to the show, so they wouldn't let Disney take the show to another network. It was one of the most popular daytime shows on TV, so the other networks would have been interested in it. So it was canceled by the network. Now do you understand?
I grew up with the Mickey Mouse club I remember how special it seemed to me
I always wanted to be a member
Thanks for posting this. It really took me back to when I was 6 to 10 years old. The show was spot on for being wholesome entertainment for children. I learned so much while being entertained, like how to spell Encyclopedia! Two musical instruments I just had to learn to play were guitar and drums, and it was because of Jimmy & Cubby.
God bless Walt Disney! There will never be another man like him!
The anti semitic man you mean
What a nice show--Thank you for posting--a lot of great memories
Saying that every child who watched the Mickey Mouse Club was a Mouseketeer is not wrong to say at all. Now there is even more to say that every child that watched Mister Rogers Neighborhood was a neighbor has a message that never existed with anything else on television! Make no mistake about this one, and that is that Fred Rogers had something that was way different than the Mickey Mouse Club by just letting you know there is no one like you.
We loved Mickey Mouse Club and Annette was so popular. It was on after school, before dinner, and not to be missed. The mouseketeers were just the best.
great documentary on a wonderful "50's phenomenon". thanks for uploading.
Don Grady was not immortal but he was certainly ageless.
Don Grady passed away in 2012.
Yellow Balloon!
My mom grew up watching the Mickey Mouse Club and she bought a set of the videos when I was little. I remember pausing the TV and practicing the dances like crazy.
I'll never forget seeing the first show. I'm nine years old, at a cub scout meeting in one of the boy's backyards. Suddenly the scouts start running in the house. I ask one what's going on. He says there's a new show on TV called the Mickey Mouse Club. We all sit in the living room and fall in love with it. I'm sure every one of us watched it religiously from then on.
Excellent!! Brings back so many wonderful memories!!
RIP Cheryl, my favorite Mouseketeer.
Cheryl had the best smile of the bunch 🙂
she was a beauty for sure even in 95
It's a nice documentary on the original Mickey Mouse Club that contained some rare pictures and footage (especially on Mousekedance - where's that skit?) but Darlene wasn't mentioned even though she's such a substantial part of the whole thing (notice how Tommy had to say "some other girl" while talking about I Am Not Now and Never Have Been in Love when that was really Darlene) though it was a given knowing her circumstances at the time.
This show needs to be released in digital formats, and must be complete (the original full hour episodes from the first two seasons, please!).
Pia Cabañero, if it were the complete show with all the episodes of the original Mickey Mouse Club, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
That would be great.
I totally agree. I watched the original back in....well back when..I had friends who appeared and were made honorary Mousekateers!!!. Even went to Disneyland and saw some of the cast of MMC...years later when we got cable and thus the Disney Channel and introduced my young daughter to the MMC. She liked it..We also watched the Lawerence Welk Show. My daughter could not understand that the Bobby on MMC was the same Bobby on Welk..afterall MMC was in B&W and Welk was in color!!!
I was born in 1960 so I didn’t see the Mickey Mouse Club until it was syndicated in the 1970s. I loved it.
In Canada we always seemed to get things late. I watched the Micky Mouse Club but turns out it was all reruns when I was a kid. Then I heard the New Club was coming out, but sure enough we didn't get it. Man was I torqued. They were great shows for kids. The odd child would be seen in music but there were no real venues for kids until CZcams.
I was born in 1953. I watched this show religiously! My sister and I knew all the songs and dances. (We still do). I wonder how much this production shaped who I am today. I bet a LOT!
I wish the show was still on. I missed it. Being a big Disney fan, I would love an OFFICIAL Mickey Mouse Club membership! Viewer number 413!
Just do reruns... so many would be thrilled!!
Kathy Beasley It would be GREAT for children! Why do we change what works! The problem is Disney tried too hard to be hip. Bring back original cute Club! AND, nothing wrong with original mouse song! Maybe it would help produce better kids, not trouble makers on drugs or some problems. I miss the sketch drawing!
THRILLED to see this. Watched it everyday growing up. Loved it!
Thank you for the wonderful memories!
Thank you for posting this! Very informative. 🤗😍
Thank you for sharing.
Grew up with Mickey Mouse and the Mouseketeers ........... lots of happy memories. These were our heroes then, everyone wanted to be and was a 'Mouseketeer'!!!
God Bless Walt and everyone .......what a great time
That was a good time to be a kid. Thank you for posting this.
When I was a child, my parents did not own a TV but soon after this show came on the air they bought one. Evidently, I must have been watching it at a neighbor's house for I have a recollection of exclaiming to my parents: "Now I can watch the Mickey Mouse Club at home!" I think in many ways it influenced my life long interest in music, dance and theatre and like Mr. Roger's show it was not too frantic and easy for young eyes and minds to absorb.
Thank you! Excellent!
I used to love this show.
I really miss growing up in the 50’s. Times were so different then. You could leave your house and didn’t have to worry about locking your door. Everybody knew each other in the neighborhood.
I seem to remember that Darlene sued Disney at some point and received a settlement from them. It could be that part of the agreement was that she would no longer be included in documentaries concerning the Mouseketeers. She certainly is a very talented woman who deserves to be proud of what she accomplished in show business.
I am fairly sure that it was not Darleen who sued, but her parents..since most knew Darleen, foljs just blamed this kid.
Parents not Darleen..she would have to have been 21, with parents pushing to the end. Feel rather sorry for her.
I am a huge fan of the show. NOSTALGIA!
Hello DisneyVideoMagic! Thanks so much for this wonderful recommendation. Be well.
This is a memorable time in my life. Why can't this go into a rerun package.
All I remember from so long ago was the M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E song. And Annette. Bill Walsh must have been versatile! Great football coach, too! He did it all!
i watched this outstanding show when it came on in reruns in 1968 when i was 10 years old and we got cable in a small town up the coast arroyo grande, i RACED home from school and always caught the last half and even then i knew it was old by then and then just 7 years later i auditioned and was peter pan in disneyland i
STILL cant believe it happe
ned to me
The Mickey Mouse Club:The Complete Story premiered on October 22,1995 a one time special on The Disney Channel which aired the same time MMC aired its final season.
that,was,when,tv,shut,off,at,10:00pm,at,night
This is so delightful. Thank you for posting!
The time that the Mouseketeers were on TV I watched them. I loved them all! Darlene was my favorite, I. I could never figure out why Disney used Annette so much when there was Darlene. I didn't think that Annette was all that talented, she was rather clunky. I really loved that show! My life was really great those years.
It seems the creators of the documentary chose to ignore Darlene's contributions to the show due to her later legal troubles. She was the most talented Mouseketeer and deserves some recognition.
Thanks, My feelings exactly.
no one knows the reasons she was left out
I couldn't stand Darlene. She just didn't seem as real as the others.
DO TELL
WHAT DID SHE DO?
faeryquene. Darlene was such versatile Mouseketeer and the most talented; I concur with you. Thank you for bringing her up. Iris from Manasss, VA
Where is Darlene?,just because she got in trouble,later DOESN'T mean they had to omit her,,,very talented.
She might have opted out by her own decision.
She always struck me as really full of herself.
What happened to Darlene?
I feel so bad for Annette... She was such an inspiring woman and she didn't deserve to get MS... It's just sad.
Mariah olmstead Does anyone deserve to get MS?
You know what she meant. Be nice.
I got to watch the reruns in the 80´s and as a little kid was obsessed with it. I remember being 2 or 3 years old and wondering how to get into the tv to be there.
Born 1956 so as soon as I can recall that was my show.
I watched the Mickey Mouse Club for two reasons, Annette Funicello and Jimmie Dodd. Jimmie Dodd's message at the end of each show was the most meaningful part of my childhood. I based my whole life on those things. I never needed religion because of it.
Truly sad, you belived you never need Jesus in you life..very sad indeed
@@eileendouvarjo176 jesus and christianity as a whole isn't real. Wake up it's 2020
Hip hip hooray! This was fantastic!
