Mike's Super Short Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike's Super Short Show (also known as Super Short Show in some countries) is a promotional segment intended to appeal to children, advertising various Disney items (DVDs in particular); it has aired only on Disney Channel and Toon Disney in various time slots since February 2003. Starring Michael Alan Johnson and Alyson Stoner, the two-minute "show" provides sneak peeks of Disney movies such as Bambi II, Kronk's New Groove which were released straight-to-DVD and films previously released in theaters like Herbie: Fully Loaded, Ice Princess as well as Disney Channel Original Movies like Cadet Kelly and The Even Stevens Movie.
Mike's Super Short Show is a production/creation of 7-ATE-9 Entertainment Productions. The show is taped at Disney television studios in Los Angeles, California.
The show's opener is "It's Mike's Super Short Show, where we show you what's new on Disney DVD." The show's closing features the name of the movie, for example, "8 Below is available now on Disney DVD." Last year, it's 2nd season, the show's opener and closer featured "disney DVD and video" but with video pretty much being obsolete, by the show's 3rd season, "and video" was cut out to say "Disney DVD."
