"The cast of Family Ties turned up, in character, in Mickey's 60th Birthday, an hour-length Walt Disney TV tribute to its famous mouse that combined animation with specially shot live action sequences. Screened in the USA by NBC on 3 November 1988, the programme was first shown in Britain by ITV some eight weeks later, on Christmas Day morning, under the title Mickey Mouse At 60"

This sounds cool. Did anyone see it? I didn't. I wish I had. I love Mickey Mouse and of course Family Ties also!

That would have been great to see. Unfortunately, I didn't.

I used to watched that Disney special since I was a youngster while I was making my home tape recording from my TV in my room. I remember the cast of such TV shows like "Cheers" and "Family Ties" along with other guests includes the late John Ritter, Jill Eikenberry, Cheech Marin and Carl Reiner along with such characters such as Roger Rabbit (from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit") and many more. I also remember last year's "Merry Mickey Celebration" featuring George Lopez and the rest of the cast of current ABC shows are celebrated Mickey's 75th birthday along with "Mickey's Christmas Carol". I used to loved that special, but I don't think it would be rerun again. That's sad.
