It was a rare morning when I was up early enough for Good Morning Mickey, but I always watched Donald Duck Presents before school. I have extremely fond memories of the Disney Channel in the 1980s.
@tvnutboy Leave Bob Iger out of this, whether or not Disney Channel keeps on catering to the teenybopper crowd, he does not make those decisions. Sweeney, who runs Disney-ABC Television Group is the only person who makes the decisions for Disney Channel. Iger on the other hand has respect for longtime Disney fans, that's why he bought Pixar and let John Lasseter oversee all animated projects and also founded the official Disney fan club, D23.
@DBZKatie123 They put that crap on DC so they could have a "24 hour family channel" after they went from Premium to Basic cable. I don't have anything against Zoog Disney but the lack of classic entertainment is STUPID. The dang network and the defunct Toon Disney is now COMPLETELY not understanding Walt's original intent.
Used to watch Mousercise and this show before school everyday. I'm now 30. If this were still on today, I'd still watch it everyday before going to work.
with all the crappy reality tv shows and channels on, I hope that Disney makes a channel just for all these old shows and cartoons, i remember every sunday night watching disney movie of the week on tv, they just don't do things like this anymore
this was when disney channel was the disney channel, and also, disney channel just sucks now, back when this was on, disney channel was the disney channel they had very great shows, and i'd say this, welcome to pooh corner, dumbo's circus, and mousersize were the best
I loved this clip, back when Disney was Disney, instead of what the channel is now. Thank you for posting this clip, takes me right back to Saturday mornings, and weekdays when I was home sick from school. Cartoons, as well as sitcoms, were so positive back then.
i remember watching this in the morning... well, just the title sequence, then before the show even started i had to go to school... i never understood why whoever did the schedule for this show... PUT IT RIGHT BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR SCHOOL!!
Aww and now we have the digitally filtered recordings of Good Morning, Crappy Disney Actors! Starring: Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, and the Jonas Brothers!
@Boredomismyspecialty Selena Gomez is not all that bad, although I do agree with you on Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Faggots. BTW, guess what? Mickey Mouse is back on Disney Channel in some short subjects called "Have a Laugh!". Hopefully if Anne Sweeney (who's running Disney Channel to the ground with this teenybopper crap) gets fired from Disney, "Have a Laugh!" will be a full-blown programming block featuring classic Disney cartoons in their full. Gees Disney, leave Hannah Montana for primetime!
@mattjnor98 ugh I dont like selena anyway Ikr primetime! Idk why cant disney channel just air their teen programs at a certain block like at nights or something and air cartoons and classic stuff right after playhouse disney(which will become Disney Junior) block like between 2-5pm instead of just repeating teen shows all day (its like I c the same ep of a show 10x) Anne Sweeney shud fall of Hollywood hills
I remember when I started watching DC after playhouse disney they aired House of Mouse..
@SmileyV07 I saw your channel, and I see that you like some of those teen shows like Hannah Montana. However, I'm glad you're speaking out about how they should schedule those teen shows. As a Disney fan (and future animation student), I totally agree with what you said, and I'm glad you are defending old school Disney fans too. Thank you.
@mattjnor98 aww THANKS! it means alot to me what you said
I like SOME the Disney channel stuff but theyve gone a little overboard with their teen stuff I dont like everything on disney channel like sonny w/ chance or that dumb new show shake it up and couple more stuff
I love classic Disney and walt disney films
Its sad kids barely see enough of that on TV, disney channel is too much of tween-teen channel
Ahhh WOW! Thanks for showing this. This brings back WONDERFUL memories. I had just turned 12, the day before Disney Channel premiered. I'm still a big kid & wish Disney would get their act together. Ther'es nothing Disney about the channel today. There needs to be a Classic Disney Channel. Kids today don't know what TRUE Disney is.
@CadillacL well they have Disney Cinemagic in other countries (check youtube videos of it and look up wiki to know about it) if the US brings it that would be the true Disney Channel
They Seriously need to bring this back on the air. Granted they have good programs for kids, but how else will they know about the classic disney characters?
Hey Guys its Stephanie mom( i know strange me being on my daughters account lol) But anyway i remember watching this and singing along to it Every morning! seriously thnx so much for watching it my daughter maddie(8) i feel so bad for she has to watch Overrated shows about singing and cheesy and gay jokes. I love old disney , Curse new disney!
@SupportMileyPlease new disney is not tht bad but i prefer the old disney did yall have toondisney b4 it bcame disneyxd tht was way better then disney channel
Thank you SO much for posting this! I haven't seen this since I was about 7.... I'm 32! Like Katemonster, you absolutely made my day... NO. You made my WEEK!
This was a bit before my time but the Disney Channel was still awesome when I was a kid in the early 90's. I really don't think it's just me being nostalgic, TV does suck more now.
To me, todays Disney Channel is the best disney ever because it's everywhere and the biggest thing in the world right nos. Zack and Cody was pretty funny. That's so raven is the best show on disney. But really, the classic from Disney (1928-the 70's) are always gonna be the best. They make the Disney for the 90's to now look pathetic and shitty.
Use to watch this every morning before oh saaaaay kindergarten school back in the 80's. It use to make me want pancakes realy bad in the morning. haha!
The Walt Disney Treasures series contains all of the old cartoons. They're a limited edition series that comes out once a year, but you can still find copies of old ones on ebay or used from Amazon. They're wonderful! Like having your own Vault Disney. :) Still, it's too bad they don't make a network of it all.
I still sing this song in my head every morning and must have been doing it for many years. I find it worrying, actually. I don't even like Mickey Mouse or any Disney stuff.
Thanks for the memories!!! I look at these cartoons, and I can only think to myself, "how lucky were we in the 80's & early 90's?!" It makes me feel bad for today's kids...including my 7 month old son!!! Thanks again for the video!!!!!!!!
Agreed I was a '91 kid and I saw great shows from disney even then and it was great im 18 today Im a big movie and tv person and I still like watching the older carttoons the memories the problem is that you can hardly find them on tv anymore because spongebob and friends I mean whats happening to the world? Its just wrong
*sigh* The so-called "evolution" of television really ticks me off. Maybe I'm biased as a child of the 80's, but this video right here epitomizes television at its greatest. Were it not for the advent of the DVD and the concept of collector boxsets of classic cartoons and television shows from this era, I would have hardly anything to watch anymore. For Disney channel specifically, nothing beat GMM, Pooh Corner, Dumbo's Circus, etc. in the morning before heading off to kindergarten.
Do me a favor, will you, and keep your eyes peeled, Ye of Equal Mindset. After I posted my previous comment, I thought about it and I decided I'm going to make a video soon to show off my personal DVD collection of classic animation and other various odds and ends that I've amassed over the course of several years. Not a huge collection by any means, as it's still growing, but at the present, it is quite sufficient.
Right, sjm757. I also loved Donald Duck Presents, and some show where it was like a workout show for kids and always had a Mickey Mouse costume actor doing the exercise with them at the end.
I just remembered that. My sister and I use to do the exercises with the show. The woman hosting it I use to have a crush on when I was little. lol. My mom and sister thought that was cute back then.
In the 1980's before Australia had pay tv, 6 volumes of the Disney Channel were available to rent on Walt Disney Home Video there. Each tape featured Good Morning Mickey, House at Pooh Corner, The Mouse Factory, Donald Duck Presents and Mousersize. Then it would end with Donald Duck attempting to strike a gong and it would blow up or something. Great Memories!
This show was the start of many mornings for me! "Good Morning Mickey" and "Donald Duck Presents" will never leave my memory. It's a shame that at this point, memories are all they can be.
I used to have a grudge with my mom for tapeing over an episode of this show with this cartoon all stars to the rescue special and only leaving the intro but then people started calling mighty mouse mickey and i started likeing mickey less so I let go of the grudge and say who this about the cartoon all stars special who cares that you already know about Drugs Just enjoy the cartoons stars in the special
The current Disney Channel bears no resemblance whatsoever to what it used to be. It was once a truly terrific channel with very high quality programming for all ages.
AMAZING!!! I haven't seen this since I was 6 years old or so. I'm 31 now and can't believe I remembered most of the words. Do you have full episodes? I want a copy! :)
To the best of my knowledge I don't, however, I have some old boxes of videos in storage that I plan to go through in the next month or so. If I find anything within, I will be sure to post it. It was a great show!
I grew up watching the Disney channel when it was good. I was born in 76 and I loved Good Morning Mickey. I watched it every morning before I caught the bus to go to elementary school.
Does anyone know what short the last clip at around 1:11 with mickey and minnie is from? I've been trying to remember the name of that cartoon for years now so I can find it.
Mickey's Mouse Tracks and Quack Attack belong to the early 90s, when The Disney Channel started changing its image, to adjust it "to more modern times",... and took a turn to the crappy and superficial!!
WOW Thank you so much for posting this. I instantly got chills when I heard the opening trumpet! It took me back when things were simple and life made sense. When I would wake up with a big bowl of Fruity Pebbles and watch these great cartoons. Jeez...I haven't been awake that early since the '88 Olympics..
I loved the classic Disney shows they exposed kids to when I was a kid; now it's all Hannah Montana, Suite Life, and all these shows that seem to have nothing to do with Disney. You could take any of those 'crappy'(in my opinion) sitcoms and air them on ANY network and not care. Mickey, Donald, Chip and Dale... those were characters that ONCE YOU SAW THEM, you KNEW they were Disney. I hope classic Disney comes back OUTISDE of DVD's.
Oh gees!!! I smell nostalgia!!! I'm...31 and this is what I watched as a kid, along with Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, and Fraggle Rock!!! I even memorized the last part of this song!
I agree also, and yes I definately remember this. I was hoping there was a clip because for the longest time I couldn't find anything online that proved that there was a show called " good morning, mickey" I thought I had dreamt it until now. Thanks for posting this
1st version has clips of Mickey, Donald & Goofy in their mobile home, Pluto whistling & a factory horn blowing. That's my recall of the first opening.
Oh god my mom will DEFINATLY remember this. I wasn't born during the 80's but boy this seems good. Alot better than all this new DC crap they bring on during the day. I mean you NEVER see Donald Duck or Micky Mouse, ect on DC at all! What is Disney without it's famous creations! I wish I were an 80's child. DC is too modern now for me. Certainly my mother agrees. Thanks for uploading this!
Aww, man! Memories, memories, memories! I remembered watching this show during the summers of '85 and '86 at my baby-sitter's house during summer vacation! Thanks so much! I too was an '80's child. I agree that they need to have a Disney channel which only airs such classics as Mousercise, Donald Duck Presents, and of course, this.
Wow! I pride myself on being a Disney Channel expert, but I have to admit I'd forgotten all about this show. Thanks so much for posting. What a classic!
I do remember this! I used to watch it when I was a kid! (yes, I'm a child of the 80's) Also, I do really miss classic Disney. A vintage Disney channel would be awesome, and I think a lot of people would be willing to pay for it.
I just posted the closing credits to the show. The sequence of clips is identical to those used in this portion of the alternate version of the intro. If anyone could find the complete alternate intro that would be great!
Yes, very sad that the Disney Channel is now a loud, obnoxious tween/thug/hiphop channel and somewhat of a joke. It used to be great . Do you have any clips of MousterPiece Theater with George Plimpton ?
I think most people miss the original Disney Channel. I've always been voting for a Vault Disney Channel! I do believe I have one Mousterpiece Theatre (which I will upload), but it will be some time before I can locate addtional clips from my other old VHS's and upload them.
Back then the "Disney Channel" was seen on premium TV and now still seen on basic cable, Do you know that "Disney Channel" is no longer airing classic Disney programming, and now its a tween-oriented channel, we gonna ask the people at Disney/ABC cable networks group to create a 24/7 vintage Disney channel that airs classic Disney programs and movies, its like Cartoon Network created "Boomerang" and Nickelodeon came up with "Nicktoons", do you miss past Disney??
*cries* I MISS IT! I want a vitange disney channel horribly. I'd be the happiest person in the world if they made one. With shows like the Mickey Mouse Club and The Gummi Bears and Dumbos Circus, and of course the old mickey mouse cartoons....I miss them....
Wow...I've been looking for this forever and it's finally up on here! This was one of my favorites growing up. Do you remember the alternate version of this intro which featured other clips? If I remember correctly, it started with the sun rising. That one I believe was used more often compared to this one actually. If anyone has that I'd love to see it again!
I do remember it! It also had the clip from Motor Mania with Goofy lowering the top of his hat like the top of a convertible if I recall correctly. Very happy I could help you find this clip, though! :D
It was a rare morning when I was up early enough for Good Morning Mickey, but I always watched Donald Duck Presents before school. I have extremely fond memories of the Disney Channel in the 1980s.

I used to have a grudge with my mom for tapeing over an episode of this show with this cartoon all stars to the rescue special and only leaving the intro but then people started calling mighty mouse mickey and i started likeing mickey less so I let go of the grudge and say who this about the cartoon all stars special who cares that you already know about Drugs Just enjoy the cartoons stars in the special

Wow! I thought there was only the new Disney Channel there is a old one?

The current Disney Channel bears no resemblance whatsoever to what it used to be. It was once a truly terrific channel with very high quality programming for all ages.

Oh how cute! I wish he was able to watch the Disney channel as it was, then! He would have really loved it, just like the rest of us did! :)

AMAZING!!! I haven't seen this since I was 6 years old or so. I'm 31 now and can't believe I remembered most of the words. Do you have full episodes? I want a copy! :)

To the best of my knowledge I don't, however, I have some old boxes of videos in storage that I plan to go through in the next month or so. If I find anything within, I will be sure to post it. It was a great show!

I grew up watching the Disney channel when it was good. I was born in 76 and I loved Good Morning Mickey. I watched it every morning before I caught the bus to go to elementary school.

Good times.
Though it is rather odd... I was born 89', yet I could quote this theme with 100% accuracy. I wonder how that happened?

Wow. I wasn't even born back then. I do remember "Mickey's Mouse Tracks."
johnnyv418 3 years ago
Mickey's Mouse Tracks and Quack Attack belong to the early 90s, when The Disney Channel started changing its image, to adjust it "to more modern times",... and took a turn to the crappy and superficial!!
thedrmat 3 years ago
WOW Thank you so much for posting this. I instantly got chills when I heard the opening trumpet! It took me back when things were simple and life made sense. When I would wake up with a big bowl of Fruity Pebbles and watch these great cartoons. Jeez...I haven't been awake that early since the '88 Olympics..

I loved the classic Disney shows they exposed kids to when I was a kid; now it's all Hannah Montana, Suite Life, and all these shows that seem to have nothing to do with Disney. You could take any of those 'crappy'(in my opinion) sitcoms and air them on ANY network and not care. Mickey, Donald, Chip and Dale... those were characters that ONCE YOU SAW THEM, you KNEW they were Disney. I hope classic Disney comes back OUTISDE of DVD's.
dyemooch 3 years ago

I agree also, and yes I definately remember this. I was hoping there was a clip because for the longest time I couldn't find anything online that proved that there was a show called " good morning, mickey" I thought I had dreamt it until now. Thanks for posting this

I guess good old fashioned Disney doesn't sell anymore. They're better off renaming the network "The Hannah Montana Channel."

1st version has clips of Mickey, Donald & Goofy in their mobile home, Pluto whistling & a factory horn blowing. That's my recall of the first opening.

I used to watch this every single morning before school, and after school it was always, "Donald Duck Presents!"
akieffner 4 years ago
Oh god my mom will DEFINATLY remember this. I wasn't born during the 80's but boy this seems good. Alot better than all this new DC crap they bring on during the day. I mean you NEVER see Donald Duck or Micky Mouse, ect on DC at all! What is Disney without it's famous creations! I wish I were an 80's child. DC is too modern now for me. Certainly my mother agrees. Thanks for uploading this!

Aww, man! Memories, memories, memories! I remembered watching this show during the summers of '85 and '86 at my baby-sitter's house during summer vacation! Thanks so much! I too was an '80's child. I agree that they need to have a Disney channel which only airs such classics as Mousercise, Donald Duck Presents, and of course, this.

I do remember this! I used to watch it when I was a kid! (yes, I'm a child of the 80's) Also, I do really miss classic Disney. A vintage Disney channel would be awesome, and I think a lot of people would be willing to pay for it.

Yes, very sad that the Disney Channel is now a loud, obnoxious tween/thug/hiphop channel and somewhat of a joke. It used to be great . Do you have any clips of MousterPiece Theater with George Plimpton ?
InklingStudio 4 years ago
I think most people miss the original Disney Channel. I've always been voting for a Vault Disney Channel! I do believe I have one Mousterpiece Theatre (which I will upload), but it will be some time before I can locate addtional clips from my other old VHS's and upload them.
Hevynly1 4 years ago
Back then the "Disney Channel" was seen on premium TV and now still seen on basic cable, Do you know that "Disney Channel" is no longer airing classic Disney programming, and now its a tween-oriented channel, we gonna ask the people at Disney/ABC cable networks group to create a 24/7 vintage Disney channel that airs classic Disney programs and movies, its like Cartoon Network created "Boomerang" and Nickelodeon came up with "Nicktoons", do you miss past Disney??
theashow 4 years ago
*cries* I MISS IT! I want a vitange disney channel horribly. I'd be the happiest person in the world if they made one. With shows like the Mickey Mouse Club and The Gummi Bears and Dumbos Circus, and of course the old mickey mouse cartoons....I miss them....
gadgetgirl700 4 years ago 2
Wow...I've been looking for this forever and it's finally up on here! This was one of my favorites growing up. Do you remember the alternate version of this intro which featured other clips? If I remember correctly, it started with the sun rising. That one I believe was used more often compared to this one actually. If anyone has that I'd love to see it again!
acseigel 4 years ago
I do remember it! It also had the clip from Motor Mania with Goofy lowering the top of his hat like the top of a convertible if I recall correctly. Very happy I could help you find this clip, though! :D
