Created by Walt Disney and produced by Walt Disney Productions, the program was first televised for three seasons, from 1955 to 1958, by ABC . This original run featured a regular but ever - changing cast of mostly teen performers . ABC broadcast reruns weekday afternoons during the 1958--1959 season, airing right after American Bandstand . The show was revived after its initial 1955--1959 run on ABC, first from 1977--1979 for first - run syndication, again from 1989--1996 as The All - New Mickey Mouse Club (also known to fans as MMC from 1993--1996) airing exclusively on cable television's The Disney Channel, then restarted in 2017 with the moniker Club Mickey Mouse airing exclusively on internet social media . </P> <P> Mickey Mouse himself appeared in every show not only in vintage cartoons originally made for theatrical release but in opening, interstitial, and closing segments made especially for the show . In both the vintage cartoons and new animated segments, Mickey was voiced by his creator Walt Disney . (Disney had previously voiced the character theatrically from 1928 to 1947 before being replaced by sound effects artist Jimmy MacDonald .) </P>
