Purely Joyful Movie!

Am I Missing Something?

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I used to watch MMC when I was about six to seven years old and I loved it! Considering the time it was set in (the late eighties and early nineties) it was representative of all the teen/child oriented shows, but it was much more entertaining than others I could name (such as Kids Incorporated, which used to air just before). A lot of people roll their eyes at me when I stress that it was a good show, but it really was. And the good thing is, I do not recall seeing Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake once. EVER. They weren't the stars, because there were other, older, more talented kids doing their thing in the spotlight (including Keri Russell, Tony Lucca, and yes, JC Chasez). Great show, even if today it would look a little dated.

I'm 38 and watched this show back when it aired. I even auditioned for it in 1991. I had to watch it at my friend's house because our family was too poor to have the Disney channel. I was 9 when it came out and watched it til it ended. I cannot explain how much this show means to me and the impact it had on my youth. My friends and I were OBSESSED. We learned all the songs and dances, and did little skits, performing for family, friends and neighbors. The show was funny and the talent the show had was AMAZING. It inspired me to be a singer. I luckily have all of the episodes recorded so the MMC is still a part of my life. Many celebrities came from the show such as: Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell and more. I feel a little special that I knew them before they became famous. I loved the whole cast in each season. I wish the show would come to dvd so I can get better quality videos but I am blessed to have the decent quality ones I had recorded. They should really make a reboot. This and Kids Inc were MY LIFE growing up.

Do you remember any of the other cute kids on that show besides all the famous ones? Matt Morris was such a hotty and I can't find any info. on him past 1993. Brandy Brown was in the very first episodes and she was way talented, but she just dropped off the face of the earth! And what ever happened to "The Party?" They were so cool! If anyone has any info. on any of this, please let me know! We should start a petition or something to the Disney Channel to get them to broadcast MMC again, don't ya think? Maybe we could get them to air Kids Inc. too. It was way cool. It's worth a try... Let me know!

MMC was the best show for young people out there. You couldn't get enough. It was singing, dancing, AND acting. 3 different aspects of show business. It launched the careers of Britney Spears, JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Tony Lucca, Keri Russell, Dale Godboldo, Ryan Gosling, Marc Worden, Christina Aguilera, and the list just goes on and on! This show is DEFINATELY a 10!
