Disney+ has uploaded a New Mickey Mouse Club TV special from 1977, and it's a gloriously ridiculous TV time capsule of the late '70s. Here's why you should watch it if you like campy, schlocky absurdity.
At the height of the division and spite that has split the New Mickey Mouse Club apart, Lisa finds herself in the same Disney Village store as fellow Mousketeer Allison Fonte. They immediately start fighting over who would look better in the dresses on display, because every character in this show has to be as paper-thin and stereotypical as possible.
The special quickly changes its tune on Worley—she befriends the kids while trying to trick them into giving her juicy info for her story, but can’t go through with it after realizing they really are friends. In fact, her character is so rehabilitated that she and Mr. Brown wind up falling for each other, for a thoroughly stupid reason.Yes, Jo Anne Worley and Ronnie Schell are destined for romance. Well, they would be, if Mr. Brown wasn’t such a dork.
In the dream Nita and another Mousketeer are settling down for the night—both in pajamas, sharing the same bed, and with the older girl reading Nita a bedtime story. It’s about Winnie the Pooh. It’s actually a song, and not a story. And that song, inexplicably, is a polka about Winnie the Pooh. It’s called “The Pooh Polka,” it’s a new polka, and it’s really great; now the citizens of Heidelberg are up to date.
These are kids, though, so it’s not a car chase. Instead Nita somehow makes it from the castle at Fantasyland to a dock out on Bay Lake in just a minute or so. She hops in a small motorboat and flies through the water, with a few Mousketeers in pursuit in their own boats. The chase is especially egregious because it winds up being a total failure. The Mousketeers never catch Nita. She eludes them and winds up back at the park, resigned to the loveless, friendless life of an itinerant theme park drifter. The Magic Kingdom is her home now, as society has roundly rejected her. She’s prepared to live the life of a Disney lifestyle blogger, 30 years before those even existed.
