New mouseketeers
fit hip ’80s image
By Gretchen Boehr
Senior Reporter
Mouscketeers have evolved
with the times for the 1989 version
of the “Mickey Mouse Club,”
which debuted April 24 on the
Disney Channel.
Butdon’texpectthisshow to be
like the old black-and-white ver
sion with Annette and Cubby.
These kids arc totally hip with
the latest clothes and accessories.
No mouse cars on these mouseket
eers.
They have names like Tiffany,
Lindsey and Damon, and perform
music videos to the latest Top 40
hits.
On the set, a neon Mickey
Mouse club sign hangs above what
looks like a soda fountain counter.
The pastel-colored set is movable
and adapts for beach and city
Remember the club song at the
end of the show when a mouseket
eer solemnly said, “See you real
soon?”
In the 1989 mouse club the kids
rap their version of this golden
oldie.
Jim Moroney, associate pro
ducer for the “Mickey Mouse
Club,” said, “As the ‘Mickey
Mouse Club’ defined the 1950s,
this show is aimed at defining the
1990s.”
“We wanted to do an ’80s ver
sion of the original,” he said.
‘ ‘This show is very current and it’s
about the way kids think, dress and
talk right now.”
Fashion is more important to
children in 1989 than it was 30
years ago, Moroney said.
‘ The kids on the show wear the
same fashions any 11- or 15-year
old would wear at the mall,” he
said.
The clothes seen on the show
aren’t meant to be overly trendy,
Moroney said.
The mouse club of the ’50s was
very different from other shows, he
said.
‘‘The original show was
ground-breaking in that something
different happened every day.”
The new club features a daily
theme, too. Monday is music day,
Tuesday is guest day, Wednesday
is anything-can-happen day,
Thursday is party day and Friday is
talent day.
The show is centered on the 11
mouseketeers, ages 11 to 14.
The mouseketeers were re
cruited from around the country.
You won’t find any Hollywood
brats in this bunch - they seem

Fred Newman and Mowava
Pryor host the show. Newman has
created voices for Steven
Spielberg’s “Amazing Stories”
TV series and Pryor has appeared
on “One Life To Live.”
Newman and Pryor interact
with the kids about first dates, sib
ling rivalry and other topics.
Moroney said the show tries to
stay away from controversial sub
jects like drugs and teenage preg
nancy.
“ It’s a fun show with things like
the humorous side of dating or
going out to eat,” he said.
The “Mickey Mouse Club”
airs daily on the Disney Channel
from 4:30 to 5 p.m.
