Today we are so proud to announce that Little Mikey joins the Mickey Mouse Club, Monstropolis Chapter. Mike Wazowski is one pleased Papa!

And here is the little monster in his official MMC sweater:

Little Mikey first appeared in the trailer for Monsters Inc. by Pixar Animation Studios all the way back in 2000 before having a bigger role in the actual movie when it hit theaters in 2001. He is able to calm Boo when she is frightened after landing in the monster world.

But how did he come to join the Mickey Mouse Club, you ask?

I was on one of my rescue missions at a local thrift store when I found a very beat up and ratty Mickey Mouse doll wearing the sweater pictured above. He was only a few dollars but in his condition they should have paid me to take him! But the sweater was cool and was removeable. I knew I could find a new owner to sport this time-honored fashion statement!

Mike and I contacted the proper Disney people and after a very stringent vetting process, Little Mikey was a member of the club made for you and me. And him!

Each new Monsterteer receives a beautiful MMC LP Record, a great MMC Scrapbook, and of course, a Mickey Mouse Club Push’em Car! You’ll have to see it to believe it.
