The Disney Channel's The Mickey Mouse Club Story (1995)

This Disney Channel documentary tied in with the book The Official Mickey Mouse Club Book by Lorraine Santoli. It's narrated by Annette Funicello's Beach film co-star Frankie Avalon and features interviews with many former Mouseketeers and other Disney figures on the original show and its impact on American culture. It's mostly accurate but there's a few details that are incorrect.

The highlight are the interviews with the grown up Mouseketeers. Not only is this valuable Walt Disney history testimony, but also about what it was like growing up in American culture in the 1950's. This is one of the final interviews with Annette Funicello and there's a nice tribute to Jimmie Dodd.
