Although the Mickey Mouse Club TV series premiered on October 3, 1955, the Mousketeers made their first television appearance on July 17, 1955 - on the ABC broadcast special celebrating the opening of Disneyland.
The original Mickey Mouse Club ran in syndication in the 1970's, which led to an all-new Mickey Mouse Club in 1977. In 1989, The Disney Channel premiered their own all-new version of the Mickey Mouse Club. Mow titled MMC, the show still airs weekdays on The Disney Channel. The ABC television series was not the first incarnation of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Harry Woodin, a theater manager from Ocean Park, California, organized a Disney-sponsored "Mickey Mouse Club" for kids, run throughneighborhood movie theaters. The club had more than a million U.S. members at the height of its popularity in 1932.Several new animation sequences were created for the original Mickey Mouse Club, including the title sequences, daily introductions, and a running gag of Donald Duck with an adversarial gong. Jiminy Cricket was animated again, as host of the educational segments "I'm No Fool," "The Nature of Things," and "Encyclopedia". Jiminy had debuted in Pinocchio (1940), and starred in Fun and Fancy Free (1947). October 3, 1995, marks the 40th anniversary of the premiere of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Although Fantasia's first general release was something of a disaster, the film ran on Broadway for a full year, the record at the time for any "talking picture". The Sorcerer's Apprentice was recorded by Leopold Stokowski in Hollywood using a select group of studio musicians. When Walt Disney made the decision to enlarge the project into a feature, the remainder of the score was recorded in Philadelphia with the Philadelphia Orchestra.

In 1940, the original cost of producing the film was 2,280,000. Originally, Walt Disney envisioned the release from time to time of Fantasia with an altered program, some pieces dropping out to make room for new ones, much as an orchestra on tour might retain the basic program of its concert but introduce new works between one hall and the next.

One of the problems encountered by Walt Disney and the sound technicians during the creation of Canine Caddy was that they didn't know what a gopher sounded like when it was happy or mad. To resolve the problem, members of the sound department adopted several gophers and lived with them night and day to find out what they really sounded like.

At the time of the release in 1941, Canine Caddy was heralded for the vivid, heartwarming, spring-like colors used in the creation of the backgrounds. Most felt that the effect of the coloring left audiences with that heady, happy, mellow feeling that is evoked by a warm spring day.
