It's an amazing collection you'll treasure over and over again. .com ---- First, a caveat: this 88-minute nostalgic romp through Mickey Mouse Club history is not The Best of Britney, Justin & Christina, but rather a compilation of four complete MMC episodes from Season Six with only minor appearances (a few songs and hometown profiles) by the namesake superstars. While the title’s misrepresentation is disappointing (and suggests some exploitive marketing by Disney), the DVD, nonetheless, oozes with talent from the cast of all 20 mouseketeers, including lesser-known stars who were hugely popular during the show’s run (‘89-’94) such as Keri Russell, JC Chasez, and Ryan Gosling. These particular episodes were selected because they happen to include two-minute profiles of Britney Spears, who takes viewers back to her hometown in Louisiana; Justin Timberlake, as he impersonates Elvis at Graceland; and Christina Aguilera who bakes brownies and shows viewers a scrapbook of her childhood. Two live concert performances spotlight Aguilera belting, "I Have Nothing," and a song and dance routine with Spears and Timberlake singing, "I Feel for You." Other program highlights include the cheesy but engaging game show, "Everybody’s a Winner," and a hilarious series of skits with Russell. A segment on teen suicide and depression was an odd choice to include in this otherwise upbeat program. Fans can keep their fingers crossed that Disney will release each MMC season in its entirety on DVD, named accordingly. (Ages 8 to 14) --Lynn Gibson
