Disney Quote Weekends

"Oh, I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. You went to the movies then, you saw two movies and a short. When Mickey Mouse came on the screen and there was his big head, my sister said she had to hold onto me. I went berserk."

-Maurice Sendak

"It is like our own miniature Canada! But, of course, without the beavers, moose, and disproportionate number of comedians."

Mickey Mouse Club Week: Talent Roundup Day!

"Round 'em up! Bring 'em in! Everybody's sure to win! Step right up, here we go, oh what a rodeo!" Fridays were Talent Roundup Day on the Mickey Mouse Club! Lucky and talented kids were invited to show their skills off before a national audience of Mouseketeers!

The talented kids who performed were awarded with honorary mouse ears and memories to last a lifetime.

Mickey Mouse Club Week: Circus Day

Thursdays on the Mickey Mouse Club were Circus Day, a day where the Mouseketeers would show their various circus related talents.

Circus Days were a strange choice to fill a day, considering that the Mickey Mouse Club Circus at DISNEYLAND was a rare failure for the park. Circus Days were eventually Eliminated by season three of the Mouse Club, replaced by an un-themed day.

Mickey Mouse Club Week: Fun With Music Mondays

The Mickey Mouse Club featured different theme days. Monday was "Fun With Music Day" which typically featured a day of music and songs sung by the Mouseketeers themselves.

Mondays were a day when the Mouseketeers could show their musical talents by singing and dancing. Originally conceived as a showcase for Darlene Gillespie, who was seen as being the "star" of the Mouseketeers, it quickly became a day for Annette, who had been crowned the star by the Mouseketeers at home.

"Even in China. Children there, next to the Great Wall, who had never seen Mickey Mouse responded. So the studio did have that skill to communicate with images."
