Ward Kimball AND Frank Thomas…two of the greatest animators of the 20th century. Also slaying trombone and piano. Iconic.

7:35 Look at Cubby go on the drums. He’s really good.

THAT WAS THE BEST THING I´VE SEEN IN MY LIFE.

The MMC was an incredibly sophisticated children's TV show for 1955 . More so than many adult " prime time " programs at the time .

[@jerrybyers2172]

The Mickey Mouse Club TV shows were GREAT entertainment in the 50's! And some of the kids went on to have great careers in show biz.

[@fiddlerpin]

That’s Ward Kimball on the trombone. One of Disney’s top animators. He had a real railroad in his backyard and was a huge model train collector.

[@bobboscarato1313]

And so was his boss Walt Disney!

The Tiger rag song is awesome and it reminds me of the 1954 cartoon “Dixieland Droopy”

[@jerrybyers2172]

The Fire House Five Plus Two was GREAT! It inspired me to play the tuba, and I'm still playing it in my church orchestra and a community band when I'm 82 years old.

Right. In the post-1962 repeats, it was presented on "Anything Can Happen Day".

¡ Gran aporte, my friend !

[@mikedoran9851]

The drummer here is Eddie Forrest, who handled the sticks on most of the FH5+2's later albums.

[@fromthesidelines]

Thanks for the correction!

[@tomr.1435]

I still have 2 of their record albums

[@dough7189]

Is this from the days when television audio content was pantomimed or synced to previously made recordings? Don't get me wrong, it's still very good entertainment. I'm just so curious about production techniques and am wondering if anyone might know how audio was processed and presented at that time?

5:19 That’s the song that was on the original Disneyland episode “At Home with Donald Duck”.

Some of the scenes here was on the original Disneyland episode “At home with Donald Duck”.

This might have the most Mouseketeers in one skit.

Big deal. It means nothing

[@mickeymouseclubchannel9733]

Only 6 of the 24 Mouseketeers at the time are missing from this skit. Almost all of them are utilized in this one.
