    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

    If you're familiar with the early '90s iteration of the TV show, you know that the new ~vibe~ of the new MMC is nothing like the show we once knew. And that's a damn shame.

    So let's take a stroll down memory lane...

    The Mickey Mouse Club then: Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the start of their careers!

    Now: some children nobody knows.

    Then: Christina Aguilera!

    Now: some kids with CMYK colors all over them!

    Then: Ryan Gosling!

    Now: this Timberlake/Gosling wannabe.

    Then: an old-timey diner set.

    Now: a sea of white and teal.

    Then: duets between two Mouseketeers who would eventually become rival pop stars.

    Now: Who are you?

    Then: synchronized choreography that was so '90s it hurt.

    Now: actual dance moves.

    Then: Keri Russell!

    Now: these kids!

    Then: sketches and little comedic vignettes between musical performances.

    Now: slow and casual head tilts.

    Then: JC Chasez!

    Now: This kid does flips!

    Then: posing as a group and then running away.

    Now: freezing.

    Then: Fred Newman (the voice behind all the wonderful music on Doug) and a lady named Terri!

    Now: no adults!

    Then: the Mickey Mouse Club.

    Now: Club Mickey Mouse.

    So, a little advice to the ~new~ Club Mickey Mouse...

    ...take a moment and try to re-create the magic that was the show 25 years ago.

    That's all!
