And people complain that Disney has gone too far trying to be hip and modern these days. Even in the 70's, as it sounds here, they were trying to keep up with the times. The only difference between this and what they do now is that now we're dealing with competition from Nickelodeon and Dreamworks and they lowered the standards for entertainment values, thus Disney had done the same.

I like the original 50's version better.

This was The Mickey Mouse Club when my mom was little. The Mickey Mouse Club I in my time (90's) was early non-Disney Channel. DARNIT DISNEY, GO BACK TO MICKEY MOUSE, MINNIE, DONALD, DAISY, GOOFY, PETE, PETE'S DRAGON, ROBIN HOOD, PINOCCHIO... AND GET THAT STUPID POP-IDOL WANNABE BS OFF YOUR CHANNELS.

Actually I think this version was better than the original. First of all, it is in color, as most cartoons look better, and second it always had something different happen to Donald at the end. I remember one time he hit the gong and nothing happened. When he went to check out the gong, he pressed his ear to it, and then it rang. LOL

@Pooleman96

Yeah but you can't argue that this sounds awesome. Its so....CATCHY. O_o

@Pooleman96 What's interesting is I grew up in the '70s to reruns of the MM Club (until they brought it back mid-'70s with a new cast, which, even as a 4-y-o, I hated), and they would sometimes show b&w reruns, sometimes color ones -- and I can tell you, I NEVER saw this disco-fied version of the theme. So, in syndication, I guess they kept the original...which is good...very, very good.

this [animation] totally doesnt even look like it was made in the 50/60's

[Pooleman96]

@DarkridesDisney That just goes back to what RayPointer said about them losing touch with their original audience and going with an "instant success" lifestyle. And of course, Walt never saw how downhill entertainment itself has become since he died, not just his own company, but everywhere in Hollywood.

the donald duck gong scene inspired the simpsons couch gags
