The Spirit of Mickey

The Spirit of Mickey is a 1998 American animated direct-to-video anthology film, produced and released by Walt Disney Home Video on July 14, 1998. It features clips from The Mickey Mouse Club, The Wonderful World of Disney, and A Goofy Movie, in the introductory scene, and some of the namesake character's shorts, including The Band Concert, Lend a Paw, Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip and Steamboat Willie.
The Framing devices are centered on Mickey Mouse and his friends hosting an event at which they present some of Mickey's greatest cartoons to an audience of orphans, using stock footage from The Mickey Mouse Club, Disney's Wonderful World of Color, A Goofy Movie, and various Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck shorts. None of the shorts were shown with their original title cards, instead, the titles were shown on the corner of the screen, disappearing after a few seconds, with an exception for the final short, Steamboat Willie.
The VHS is close captioned by Captions, Inc. like all the other Disney home video releases at the time and with the newly evolved Captions Inc. close captioning from Hocus Pocus and with all the spoken text close captions all completely uppercase and with all foreign words uppercase and italized as the new style originating from the original VHS release of the Dark Crystal.
If it were re-released in 2002 by Walt Disney Home Entertainment on both VHS and DVD, it would be re-close captioned by the National Captioning Institute with Disney's version of Kids WB's newly evolved National Captioning Institute close captioning from Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, with all the close captions of the new Disney National Captioning Institute close captioning based on and from the original Disney Captions Inc. close captioning.
