Mike's Super Short Show was a long running promotional mini series that promoted Disney's upcoming VHS/DVD releases.
Contents |
The show is literally a "super short show" in which a boy named Mike (Mike Johnson) and his sister Sally (Alyson Stoner) discuss and explain different recent Disney DVDs. It was started in 2002 by Art Spigel, produced by Jason Wolk and continued on until its cancellation in 2007.
Most movies that were produced by The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Animation Studios, such as The Incredibles, The Haunted Mansion, and The Little Mermaid, were featured on MSSS during "commercial breaks" just prior to the DVD launch of the respective film. From time to time, the show also provided a sneak-peek at events taking place at Walt Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in California, such as the opening of a new ride or attraction.
Disney stars such as Amy Bruckner, Aly and AJ, Kyla Pratt, Ashley Tisdale, Raven-Symone, Brenda Song, Christy Carlson Romano, The Cheetah Girls, Ricky Ullman, and Miley Cyrus appeared on the show during its run.
When Mike's Super Short Show ended its run in 2007, it was replaced by the newscast-themed Disney's Really Short Report, which ran until January 2009, being replaced by Leo Little's Big Show, which is similar in format to Mike's and formerly aired on Disney Channel.
