History YMMV / TheMickeyMouseClub

** The 1977 special ''The Mouseketeers at Walt Disney World'', featuring the 1970s revival cast, has a LOT of sad moments. A majority of it has the Mouseketeers arguing with each other, which is surprisingly out of character compared to the show itself and its other versions. The worst moment comes when Nita tries to help out on a camping trip, but ends up forgetting to tie the tent ropes, resulting in them being pulled away by a nearby van. All of the kids harshly yell at her, with one of them outright calling her a ''scrambled-brained idiot''. If that wasn't bad enough, the adults don't do much to defend or comfort her, even though Ronnie Schell tries to tell her it's okay. Despite this, Nita is left alone sobbing, and runs away. The other Mouseketeers realize how harsh they were and set out to find her. However, Nita, not wanting to be found, keeps running whenever she sees them approaching, as she thinks they're still mad at her. Later, the scene transitions to her all alone at night, whilst looking at a poster of her and all of her friends, as the Alma Mater plays in the background. Eventually, Jo Anne Worley approaches her and tells her that everybody is sorry, and the final performance at Cinderella Castle goes on. Even though things work out in the end, we don't really see the Mouseketeers apologize to her; it cuts to the performance after Jo's scene with Nita.

* OlderThanTheyThink: When Helene Stanley acted out a scene from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' in a segment about her live-action reference modeling, an off-screen trombone player delivered the stepfamily's dialogue, predating the ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' specials' usage of a trombone's "wah-wah-wah" to represent an adult speaking from offscreen.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The 1950s version was especially popular in Australia, where "new" episodes aired well into the 1960s. Many of the cast members did successful tours there in 1959 and 1960 after the show was cancelled, surprising their Australian fans due to having physically matured since the original episodes were produced.
