2. now i know what the mazersize was referencing

3. wait no can we make this cool again

4. I would never give the nut away to one of these mice

5. Why do I feel like Jojo Siwa is related to kellyn somehow? I don't mean that as a joke, they both have SO much energy, their faces look similar, and even their voices seem remarkably similar.

6. 9:20 His name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls him…

   Giorgio.

7. 14:43 so thats where twerking came from

8. When I was in grade school we had a "talent show" where kids did their own routines/skits/numbers etc (which were pre approved and rehearsed) or we'd have a single routine picked out by one of the teachers or group of teachers of a grade that pretty much anyone in the grade was allowed to be in. My 2nd grade year we did Mousercise!! We had OUTFITS. White or black t-shirts, shorts with a stripe running down the sides, and Mickey Ears made out of construction paper glued to headbands. We did a whole exercise routine based on Disney old Disney characters on STAGE. in front of the whole school and our parents. What a wild time the early 2000s were for me

9. Here at 419,265 views. (before that too… maybe)

10. I really enjoy the concept those floor segments. A neat thought exercise in addition to the physical.

11. The song Cool Down is too sexy

12. the fourth grader really went off lmao

13. I guarantee if Disney Had Mouseketeers today With today's fashion The kids leotards Would be Riding up the kids Behind

14. Sad and ironic that Kellen died so young. Fuck Cancer.

15. I remember watching this every morning before school.

16. I had the mousercize record!

17. I never heard of Mousercise until recently. But I did grow up with the workout craze of the time as my parents owned a few Jane Fonda workout tapes, tapes that I’ve held onto to this day!

18. rip olivia

19. lol oddly i listened to this record too many times to count

20. And all the kids would be in their 50s now.

21. I lost my first tooth at Disney Mousercise in Sherway Gardens Mall (Toronto). I was in the audience and it was already pretty loose, but I wiggled it enough while watching the action that it finally came free. I wasn't actually participating from what I remember (I was a shy, chubby, sedentary kid), but I still got that nifty certificate.

22. wait i just realized
    MAZERcize,
    MOUSERsize…
    coincidence?
    i think NOT

23. Damn hearing about kellyn passing was so sad, I remember my mom telling me how religiously my aunt did mousersice, every Monday till Friday, every morning. I had never really known anything about it but this video filled In so much, and I get why my aunt was so into it, if I was a kid back then I would have tuned in every day

24. Jfc Kellyn is peak 80s sex appeal

25. They should do a version of this show for Disney Plus, possibly including tracks from the 2005 CD.

26. Christ, Disney stuff is hardcore creepy.

27. Honestly I really like this idea
    And it's adorable that teachers were able to use it at the start of the pandemic

28. The Disco version of "Chim Chim-Cheree" from the album you showed at the beginning is tight!

29. Olivia Newton-John inspired Disney to make the Mousercise album? Wow, greasy!

30. The concept would work again today. And the idea at it's core, to get kids to have fun excercising and moving, is really good.
    Heck, as she said: It's not just for the kids, the parents can join in!
    As someone who is really into fitness I can see the benefits of this program.

31. This is so violently 80s I could feel it through the video.

32. MOUSERCISE WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL SHOWS ON THE DISNEY CHANNEL BACK IN 1983

33. Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
    Justice said we broke His perfect law – causing the world's previous perfection to be
    destroyed – and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing – regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others – which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" – if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans

    . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.

    If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).

    He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.

    He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.

    He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.

    Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
    –  (AMPLIFIED version)

    NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. Xxx

34. Surprisingly little mention of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse shorts "Mickey Mousekersize". It was almost like an abridged version of the Mousercise formula. Toodles or Goofy show up and have a problem that needs solving, and Mickey teaches an exercise that solves said problem. I think every short is on the Disney Junior channel if you're interested, though the quality is oddly bad.

35. 5:50: Imagine being able to say you were chained to Gene Kelly. You would get so many envious looks every time you said that!

    Well, maybe just confused looks, but those are almost as good right?

36. That’s funny they used a song from Flashdance because Micheal Eisner was one of that movie’s biggest producers.

37. is it just me or does kellen look like jojo siwa with a mullet

38. To me, ventures such as Mousercise show today’s Disney could be a force for good, if they were willing to aim beyond the easiest, laziest profits. I know in another video (on DisneyQuest), you stated “Disney should never try to teach anything!” but, to the contrary, I think if they partnered with Children’s Television Workshop and committed to an educational t.v. series—maybe backed by an affordable line of toys—they could make a positive impact on kids.
