Mickey Mouse Club: The Best of Britney, Justin, and Christina
The Best of the Mickey Mouse Club
Mickey Mouse was Walt’s first superstar, and this feisty, fun-loving little character captured the world’s heart.
With Mickey’s success, Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resorts became possible – as did Walt’s
classic animated feature films such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Walt’s revolutionary use of
Technicolor, the Wonderful World of Disney television show, and almost everything that Walt would build
into his world-famous entertainment studio. Following are the short subjects included on this DVD:
STEAMBOAT WILLIE
The historic first Mickey Mouse cartoon that Walt released, and the first cartoon with synchronized sound.
Mickey, Minnie and Pete are all introduced in an adventure on a river steamboat.
PLANE CRAZY
The first Mickey Mouse cartoon made, but the third one released, after sound was added. With the help of his
farmyard friends, Mickey builds a plane and goes on a fun flight with Minnie, until a cow and a kiss
complicate things.
THE KARNIVAL KID
The first Mickey Mouse cartoon in which Mickey speaks. Mickey sells hot dogs at an amusement park, where
he serenades Minnie, who has a dance routine.
THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Mickey is given a surprise party, and gets a piano as a gift. Mickey entertains his friends with an energetic
musical number.
THE CASTAWAY
Mickey is adrift on a raft when he spots land, only to find it inhabited by unfriendly lions, gorillas and
crocodiles.
MICKEY’S ORPHANS
A basket of kittens is left on Minnie’s doorstep at Christmas, and Mickey and Minnie charitably bring it inside.
But they soon regret their action as the cats have a ball at the expense of Mickey’s house.
MICKEY’S REVUE
This historic short introduces the character who would become Goofy. Mickey performs in a musical comedy,
which is interrupted when Pluto chases cats on the stage.
BUILDING A BUILDING
Mickey is a steam shovel operator on a construction job who buys a box lunch from Minnie. Pete attempts to
run away with her but Mickey is in hot pursuit throughout the building. When a girder falls on Pete, Mickey
and Minnie escape on her lunch wagon.
