In the "what the...." news category: Remember the Disneyland box set cancelled rumors? You get what you wish for. Apparently the suits over at Disneyland (one gentleman in particular who shall remain nameless) had a listen to the final box set and flipped. His concern is that people won't visit...

No, the last laserdisc release of Mary Poppins contains the complete soundtrack score including the songs in instrumental form. This is the orchestra only, no sound effects. I know the norm was to include score/SFX, but for some reason they decided to only include the score (which I prefer). I'm...

Unfortunately, the only access Randy got was to live recordings of the rides. Some imagineer tape recorded them when he was little and some as an adult. You can hear his voice in some recordings, but Randy tried to edit them all out. And Randy reduced the hiss from the tape. You can still hear a...

Again, Mysteries of the Atom was not recorded nor used in the ATIS queue or anywhere in the attraction. I do have an update about ATIS though. A new ride-thru was just created for the box set. They went back and transfered all the isolated attraction music along with the isolated narration and...

The Disneyland boxed set will be 6 CD, yes. The version sold at Disneyland will come packed with a bonus vinyl recreation of the Walt Disney Takes You To Disneyland, yes. The 2 CD set will be a separate release which will be a condensed version of the box set. In other words, the ride-thru's...

As far as I know... I believe they are still transfering stuff. This takes more than one session, you know. There have been some already and they might be finishing soon. They might be done as far as I know. I do know that they had already started.... They would like to have it ready for the...

To answer the first question, yes, Mysteries of the Atom did end up getting used in the original Universe of Energy as the soundtrack to the film portion of the ride (not the pre-show film). And regarding the Vault: There are full time employees that work at the Vault and the money has to come...

Hello, Here are your answers: The existing "Composite Mix" currently at Imagineering Sound Department elements are as following: They have the isolated pre-show music/fx cues in FULL stereo. Real stereo that bounces around like you wouldn't believe. They also have a complete composite of the...

Yes, the Karaoke Mary Poppins CD has the actual score used as instrumental tracks. The only problem is the sounds isn't as good as the new Mary Poppins soundtrack cd and there are a few instances where new elements were mixed in with the original score. For example, whenever their is a...

Greeting. What a fun idea for a post. This is what my ultimate Disneyland Box Set would be like: I would house 6 Disneyland CDs with a good book that focuses on the music of Disneyland. I would make 5 CDs of Disneyland and make a 6th one just for the Christmas material. All the soundtracks...

Regarding the next wave of Wonderland titles.... We should see the next wave sometime next year. Right now Randy is working on the Disneyland box set full time and should continue to do so for at least another couple of months. It won't be until that project is completed that he will be able to...

I didn't mean to discourage anyone from buying this DVD. By all means RUN to get yourself a copy. You will never find a more perfect Disney movie. I love the film and it's soundtrack. I'm just disappointed that Disney has such a hard time making everything perfect all the time. They always...

Hello, I watched the Mary Poppins DVD in "Enhanced Home Theater" sound. I was dissapointed. First the picture... while this is the best presentation of the picture on home video, it is not perfect. Some of the skin tones make people look like they have skin cancer. Many of the scenes look...

In my own personal opinion......the Incredibles soundtrack was INCREDIBLE. Wow! Of course, it doesn't help that I already am a fan of anything 60's (Haunted Mansion, Inner Space, Tiki Room, etc). I have to disagree with Dirk but everyone has their own taste and opinions. I love the movie and I...

Hello Mark, Yes, the plan is to remix and restore the original elements from Adventure thru Inner Space and create a new ride-thru. I'm looking forward to this happening (hasn't been transfered yet) as I am a big fan of ATIS' soundtrack. As far as I know, the only new ride-thru's that are...

Hmmm, The WDW Forever track uses the "restored" version (with the additional female tracks and missing gong). The re-recorded version has never been used in anything and the audio never released except for "Let's All Sing...." which I mentioned earlier. Zarpman: You must be confused, the...

Hello, I just got the Alice in Wonderland 2nd cast CD from the Wonderland series. It has always been one of my favorites. Here is the question: I own the Japanese release from way back and I can't access it at the moment. The new release sounds amazing and I've noticed that some tracks seem to...

Speaking of second cast recordings... when I was a kid, I used to HATE those things. I would buy records like the Alice in Wonderland LP, Sleeping Beauty, and park soundtracks such as Haunted Mansion and Pirates, only to find out they weren't the original versions! I wanted the real thing...

The Enchanted Tiki Room show soundtrack remained the same from it's opening in 1963 until the mid 90's. At that point they were toying the idea of bringing a new show. Eventually the new show went to Florida where it was a big flop. Then they decided to re-record the entire soundtrack with the...

Yes, I enjoy this soundtrack (actually better than the film!). Disney Records doesn't own the rights to release this CD. On the same token, Disney licensed Pete's Dragon from Capitol for the recent CD release, so anything is possible. I own the Varese CD released which is a re-recording of...
