The next Britney and Justin? Meet the first new Disney Mouseketeers in 20 years

In the '90s, Disney brought us song-and-dance show The Mickey Mouse Club, a gem that introduced the world to adolescent Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling.

Well, more than 20 years later, there's finally a new class of Mouseketeers.

And if today's teens don't recognize that word, try this one: "Influencers."

Here's the whole gang.

Eight rising musical stars are joining the revamped series, now branded as the much-hipper-sounding Club Mickey Mouse. Aside from the scrambled name, there's another big change from the old version of the show: It is only appearing on social media (instead of on TV).

YouTube phenom Todrick Hall, who just released a '90s/Disney mashup (Coincidence? We think not), will serve as mentor.

Meet the eight new faces, aged 15-18, who will star on the @ClubMickeyMouse Facebook and Instagram (along with mentors Todrick Hall and Alisha Marie), and also on their own social accounts as they document their journeys learning choreography and recording music. (Songs will be available weekly, starting with the new Club Mickey Mouse theme song released Sept. 12.)

Regan Aliyah

At 18, Aliyah is a fourth-generation entertainer, lyricist and MC. Hear her impressive rap skills in her "Monday flow" videos.

Jenna Alvarez

Jenna Alvarez is a Mouseketeer with moves.

The 15-year-old shows off some precise, popping dance moves on Instagram. Can't. Look. Away.

Gabe De Guzman

Gabe De Guzman will share his love of dance.

Leanne Tessa Langston

Leanne Tessa Langston could wow viewers with her vocals.

She's only 17, but Langston has soul. The aspiring singer, songwriter and dancer has a bunch of popular covers online

Brianna Mazzola

Brianna Mazzola is a Mouseketeer to watch.

Mazzola, 17, dances, acts, sings and even displays her piano skills on social media. We're surprised her version of Rise Up hasn't gone viral yet.

Sean Oliu

Sean Oliu is bringing an old-school sound.

A 15-year-old who sings Hank Williams? That's Oliu, who blends Rockabilly flair with pop music.

Will Simmons

"Big" Will Simmons will be dancing the digital show.

"Big" Will is a 17-year-old choreographer and dancer. We're going to bet his Wild Thoughts dance is the best you've ever seen.
