description: “Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E!”The original “Mickey Mouse Club” aired from 1955 to 1959 and became an instant phenomenon, capturing the imagination of millions of fans to become one of the most popular, classic television shows of all time. The Official Mickey Mouse Club Bookbrings back all those warm memories in a comprehensive history of how Mousekemania swept the country. Join the jamboree in a parade down memory lane: Jimmie Dodd strumming on his Mousegetar, Jiminy Cricket’s encyclopedia series, the newsreels, “The Hardy Boys,” “Spin and Marty,” “Talent Round UP Day,” the guest stars, the cartoons, the music and dancing, and all the rest of the adventures of the Mouseketeers.Here is the complete Mickey Mouse Club story from the club’s origins in 1929 to the show’s worldwide syndication and the 25th anniversary show, and a behind-the-scenes look at how it all began: how Walt picked the first Mouseketeers, their first live appearance at Disneyland, and the ups and downs of being part of that unique fraternity. Reminisce with Annette, Sherry, Bobby, Doreen, Cubby, Karen, and the rest of the mouse-eared members as they recount stories of their first auditions, their reaction to the black felt beanie with the big round ears, what it was like going to the little red schoolhouse on the Disney lot, who was flirting with whom, and what they are all doing today..With over 100 exclusive photos from the Disney archives and a forward by Annette Funicello, The Official Mickey Mouse Club Book is a treat for fans of all generations. Everybody ready? Then on with the show!
