No he is correct, because they were produced and manufctured by Capitol and had Capitol labels. They were marketed and distributed, though, by Ziz first and then Wonderland. If you look at the labels you'll see little Ziv or Wonderland logos. Wonderland was indeed part of A.A. Records, which...

Actually, it was a Capitol 78 RPM book and record set narrated by Johnny Mercer with Luana Patten and Bobby Driscoll. The songs were sung as part of the story, so they blend in with the narration and don't really stand on their own as separate tracks. I don't know offhand if Capitol reissued...

Thanks, MerlinJones! I'm always looking for additional versions of Disney songs, especially lesser-heard ones like this. FYI -- A special version of the song was also created for the "Walt Disney World Today" in-room TV channel.

Some of the music is from the soundtrack, a little is from the Camarata album, and the rest is from the music created for the revised attraction by John Debney. Some of the latter, like "March of the Cards" and "All in the Golden Afternoon," turned up on the Disneyland Forever and Walt Disney...

Just to add some FYI's -- the DQ-1208 version (with the songs separated) is available on iTunes, but the art is from the WDL version. The nice thing about iTunes is that you can set your preferences so the songs connect and simulate the sound of the original unseparated album. The original...

Re: George Wilkins' Music, Question!!! FYI George Wilkins also did wonderful work for Rankin/Bass -- the soundtrack album of THE WACKY WORLD OF MOTHER GOOSE sometimes pops up on eBay. It was available in mono and stereo on Epic Records. The movie, which is the only animated feature I know of...

Footlight Records in New York is going out of business this month. Apparently the high rent of the physical store combined with low-cost discount competition forced this end. Just letting everyone know because they're still selling out their stock at www.footlight.com. In addition to show...

I really enjoyed the soundtrack album of RATATOUILLE, which reminds me a lot of Henry Mancini scores that have separate little themes that stand on their own. Since this forum has its own French ambassador, I wonder if Francois could provide some tranlation for the song "Le Festin." I guessing...

I don't think anyone who actually knows Wayne and Russi can deny the love and care they put into their performances. They don't come upon their characterizations -- or their responsibilties to such important characters -- lightly. It's more than a job. A lot of thought and varied attempts go...

Congratulations, Rick. You've worked and dreamed so hard for this! It's always wonderful to hear that one of the "good ones" got a break.

I can't speak for Walt. I can only ask that my original post is re-read as it was written and anyone who wants to is welcome to draw their own conclusions and individual opinions.

Please re-read my post, because I said a whole lot more than "the music wasn't bad." In an era of artistic compromise where committee and marketing initiatives rule supreme, even if a film isn't your cup of tea, the simple fact that it doesn't buy into all the extreme pressure to be what...

Due to technical difficulties, Randy cannot send this message directly, so he asked me to pass this list on to you. These are the titles scheduled to launch on iTunes in June: DATE NITE AT DISNEYLAND (1958) Tony Paris & The Elliott Bros. Orchestra SECRETS OF LIFE (1956) Soundtrack Music by...

Perhaps it might be worth noting what was likable about MEET THE ROBINSONS. Unlike many current animated features, there were no gratuitous superstar voices except one, and that in itself was used for comic effect. There were no penguins or other cuddly critters doing dances that will date in...

This is purely a guess, but I think the first voice you hear speaking in O CANADA is that of actor/singer Don Francks, who co-starred in FINIAN'S RAINBOW with Petula Clark and Fred Astaire, did several cartoon voices, recorded an album that included "What? No Mickey Mouse?" and whose daughter is...

The version on most soundtrack albums is the first time the dwarfs sing, "Heigh-Ho," and since they're going home, that's what they sing. I do recall, though, that in the film they sing a short reprise after Snow White kisses them goddbye and the go off to work, but I couldn't find it on the CD...

Yes, it should be a similar presentation with a few changes here and there. I'm thinking I might also preview some of the new MEET THE ROBINSONS soundtrack that comes out Tuesday. Free mini-posters, fabulous prizes, things like that. Thanks very much for the nice recommendation!

A wondrous new book store recently opened in Celebration, Florida, called READING TROUT BOOKS. It's a cozy place with a very warm setting (even a fireplace) and perhaps the best selection of Disney books, past and present, in Central Florida. Reading Trout Books 671 Front Street #110...

Tim and I were fortunately enough to have someone who posts on this site, Joseph, take the time to comb through MOUSE TRACKS to make sure of its total accuracy. We sincerely appreciate Joseph's care and attention to our humble little book. These are the items he discovered: 1) p. 11 "Green...

As I recall, they used to play (and may still play in some other areas) a medley from Arthur Fiedler and Boston Pops SALUTE TO DISNEY album, which is listed here: http://www.amazon.com/Salute-Disney-Arthur...TF8&s=music They also played "Me Ol' Bamboo" and "The Roses of Success" from a United...
