Totally Minnie (1988)
The film centers on nerd Maxwell Dweeb (Robert Carradine), who is a loner with no friends. While watching television, he sees an advertisement for the Minnie Mouse Center for the Totally Unhip, named after its owner, Minnie Mouse. Dweeb, in an effort to improve himself, decides to attend. After being welcomed by the director (Suzanne Somers), Dweeb is taken on a tour of the centre, where other Disney characters run various courses: Goofy is a fitness instructor, Donald Duck is a wardrobe manager, and Pluto is a messenger boy. After finally meeting Minnie Mouse, Dweeb is taken on by the director, whom he eventually falls in love with, and dates once he has passed his training. The film is intershot with various musical numbers (including the duet "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Minnie Mouse and Elton John) and excerpts from early Disney shorts.

I saw this as a little eight-year-old in '88 (which makes me feel a bit old) on NBC. (I know it was NBC, because I didn't see anything on ABC until I was fifteen). I absolutely ADORED it! I wish I could see it again, because it made me so happy as a little girl, and I'm sure it'd bring back so many great memories of my childhood.
I had this taped off the TV years ago and somehow it got lost amongst the millions of video tapes I now own. It was my favorite thing to watch when I was little, I loved the Elton John duet and just basically enjoyed the whole thing! The cartoons in between the movie, Minnie in all her lovely outfits! This was a Minnie Mouse for any 80's born girl, an idol who never got given a chance! If anyone remembers this cute little Minnie movie then good for you, cause I'm the only one in my household who does, I'm just glad I've found it online and didn't daydream the whole thing! Hey, if you still have it on tape and hate it, send it to me!! I'd love to see it again, its fun!! hehe! :)
I used to watch this movie with my sister all the time!!! It was one of the best movies I have ever seen, and I wish I could find it somewhere on tape. I love it...and recommend it to anyone!!! It has everything anyone could want in a movie...Minnie Mouse and friends, plus Elton John! Great movie, and hilarious too.
I remember taping this show off of the TV in the 80's and watching it religiously! Who can beat Elton John doing a duet of "Dont' go breakin' my heart" with Minnie Mouse?? I have not yet found anyone else who remembers this special, but it is forever burned into my happy childhood memory!
