Stars: 4 out of 5
Pros: Mickey Mouse Club! No question about it
Cons: Similar designs have been done before.
The Bottom Line:
Leader of the band
Ready to lead from your tree
With nostalgic fun
Leader of the Ornaments
Even though it wasn’t Disney first TV show, The Mickey Mouse Club was such a huge moment for Walt Disney that it is no question it should be
captured for the Moments That Made Disney ornament series. And it is
captured in grand fashion.
The ornament features Mickey leading the band. Okay,
so it’s just Mickey, but it’s the opening moments of the show and you know the
parade of band members is coming. He’s
standing on a wooden circle and holding a golden baton. Behind him
is a big drum with Mickey Mouse Club written on it. And he’s wearing
a red band leader uniform including a hat. It’s an iconic moment
from the show’s opening credits, and it’s hard to think of anything else to use
for the ornament.
Of course, that is the one drawback of the ornament as
well. It is so iconic and the show so nostalgic for Baby Boomers
that very similar designs have been used for many previous ornaments done by
The Disney Store and Hallmark, among others. I’m not sure how they
could have gotten around it for this ornament series.
That floor Mickey is standing on provides a nice flat base,
so it will stand anywhere you want to put it. There is a red ribbon
attached to the hook in the top of Mickey’s head, and using that allows the
ornament to hand straight as well.
Since I don’t have any previous Mickey Mouse Club ornaments,
I was delighted to get this one. The sculpt is great, and there are
some good details like Mickey’s tail that I just love. Plus the red
really will stand out on your tree and look like Christmas while still fitting
the theme of the ornament.
So if you are a fan of The Mickey Mouse Club or collecting
this series, you’ll want to check out this ornament. It’s a great
addition to any DisNerd’s home.
