Here are some Midnight Madness fun facts that you might not have heard before.

What is Midnight Madness About?
My husband and I are still plugging away on our quest to watch all the non-animated Disney movies. We have watched almost all of the non-animated movies of the 70’s and are now venturing into the 80’s. Unlike the animated movies, we are not watching these in order. We still have several to watch from earlier decades. Our latest movie find is called Midnight Madness. It is from 1980. It was a good movie. I found it quite funny. You should put this movie on your Disney must-watch list if you haven’t already.
Midnight Madness is NOT on Disney+, but you can find it on Amazon.

Midnight Madness is about a group of college students representing the common student stereotypes who participate in a citywide scavenger hunt. The competition is organized by Leon, a mysterious man who challenges the rival teams to solve a series of riddles and clues throughout Los Angeles. The team that completes the tasks first will win a substantial cash prize.
Midnight Madness Fun Facts
Micheal Fox. Micheal J. Fox is in it but is only listed as Micheal Fox. It took me a little while to figure it out. He is pretty young in the movie.
Converse Shoes For Everyone. All teams in the movie, aside from the red team, have one of its players wearing a pair of All-Star Converse.

Disney’s 2nd PG- Rated Film. Disney released this film, it’s second to be rated “PG” by the MPAA (the first being The Black Hole (1979)), without any mention of its involvement, in hopes that teenage audiences might be more likely to see it if they didn’t know that it was a Disney picture. (However, the cover art of the DVD release of the film in 2004 credits the film to Walt Disney Pictures.)

Disney Channel Movie? Almost. The film was originally intended to be a Disney Channel television movie, but the studio decided to release it theatrically due to its positive test screenings.

Wow! Really cool quest to watch all the Disney movies. I might have to try to get this movie from a library. It would be fun to see MJF as a young kid.

What a fun quest you and your hubby are on! I've never even heard of this movie, and I was 10 in 1980 (dating myself!) Thanks for linking up this week!
