For anyone old enough to have gotten their first look at a Six Flags park by watching Fleegle and Drooper ride the Runaway Mine Train one Saturday morning in the late 60's... How cool to log onto iTunes and find that the fictitious Banana Splits have released their first five new songs...

Man, I hate to sound like I'm getting paid to push iTunes, but you can now purchase the Travel Channel's recent "Season of Disney" specials there. Thought some of you might be interested: Several of these were very entertaining. I'm definitely picking up the Samantha Brown shows and the 'Behind...

Hi, all! Just a heads up -- iTunes recently made available three collections of songs by "The Mellomen with Thurl Ravenscroft," for a grand total over 80 added songs! This is, of course, in addition to the great "Meet me Down on Main St." LP. I'm not sure how long the collections have been up...

Sorry, I can't let this one slide: You have to see this to believe it: Checking out the new releases on iTunes, I saw a bunch of Broadway titles under the artist "New Musical Cast." These include Chess, Cats, Lion King and Tommy. You owe it to yourself to check out the album cover for this...

Slightly OT: 60?s Chimpmunks & Freberg on iTunes!!! AAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLVIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! Our older members like myself will appreciate this one: Practically the entire catalogue of original Ross Bagdasarian Alvin and the Chipmunks albums are now on iTunes! I downloaded the one I...

And, as of this posting, it's only $7.99 for some reason. Swoop! Grasp! Eight bucks for 29 tracks...not bad. Not having seen the show, I'm hoping to find at least eight tracks of the 29 that I like! :)

Has anybody else noticed that the Disney Channel actually has something *good* on for a change, and that it features truly funny and catchy musical numbers in every episode? And it's not Hannah Montana. Phineas and Ferb is a wonderful show, which means Disney Channel will probably cancel it...

Hi, everyone. I asked this a long time ago, and - sorry - I need to ask again. ;D I'm trying to track down a particular Disney album from my childhood way back in the early 60's. It was themed around Disneyland and featured non-soundtrack vocal recordings of these songs (plus more I'm sure I've...

Well, first of all, the soundtrack's great. It delivers a fun collection of songs, plus an amazing, colorful and wonderful score by Randy Newman. About those extras iTunes offered with the download: The included music video is *not* the Rascal Flatts video currently being shown in abbreviated...

Hi, all! iTunes just added a truckload of Disney soundtracks. Here are the ones I spotted on their "just added" list. I know a few of these were there previously (I think Nightmare Before Christmas, Peter Pan and a few others), but I'll list them here in case I'm wrong. Little Mermaid...

A recent Family Channel showing of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reminded me that, no matter how flawed the movie, the Sherman Brothers' music is great. I went to download the soundtrack from iTunes and found that the British stage production cast album is also available to download. I highly...

Just a heads up for those who hadn't heard - Vol. 1 of Ducktales episodes 1-27 hits DVD today (Nov. 8 ). It's about time! :) Also released today - Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Vol 1. Five Mile Creek - Season One! Yes! Best Disney Channel Show Ever! (Back when the Disney Channel actually...

Hi, all. Just got the new DVD featuring 5 classic Mickey Mouse Club Episodes. Thought I?d give you a quick overview of the contents, since there?s not a lot of info on the cover. The outside states this DVD is surround stereo. This is, of course, nonsense unless you count the previews. The...

This is sort of a combination review and open thank-you letter! :) Dear Mr. Thornton, I received my copy of "A Musical History of Disneyland" last Friday. I've listened to it front to back several times. THANK YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine Goodness! Yeeehah...

Listening to the new boxed set, I was struck by just how great a part Thurl Ravenscroft played in the park's music. I knew he sang in the Mansion, Pirates and the Bear shows, but he's all *over* these tracks! :) Here's the contributions I can definitely identify - Have I missed any? Meet Me...
