Sharon--

I'm not sure I want to admit this--seeing as how you seem quite comfortable taking the heat as the "completist" among us......

but I actually have HoND in eleven different languages! :eek:

I believe the expression you like to use is "neener, neener, neener!" ;D

For the strong of heart, here is my list:

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Le Bossu De Notre Dame (Canadian French)
Le Bossu De Notre Dame (French)
De Klokkenluider van de Notre Dame (Dutch)
The Bells of Notre Dame (Japanese Import/Japanese)
The Bells of Notre Dame (Japanese Import/English)
O Corcunda de Notre Dame (Portuguese)
Il Gobbo De Notre Dame (Italian)
Klokkeren fra Notre Dame (Danish)
Der Glockner von Notre Dame (German)
El Jorobado De Notre Dame (Spanish)

And, I "just missed out" on owning it in Hebrew! An eBay deal that went south. :(

All I can say is WOW. I checked...I have it in these languages:

Greek
Dutch
German
Danish
Finnish (I THINK )
Japanese
Hebrew (neener, neener, neener)
French (France French)
Spanish
Oh yeah and English.

So that's 10. Plus the German-sung stage musical. Plus the Read-Along. Plus the Sing-Along.

C'mon...let's compare B&TB .

Oh. Okay......

but you know everybody else here is sitting back in their chairs and saying, "can there be two bigger dorks?" ;D

Beauty and The Beast (1991)
Beauty and The Beast Special Edition (2001)
La Bella y la Bestia (Spanish)
La Belle et la Bete (French)
Beauty and The Beast (Chinese)
Belle En Het Beest (Dutch)

I'm sure you win this round! (But you gotta admit -- HoND in Portuguese is pretty cool! :eek: Chicks really dig it!) I am quite impressed by your Hebrew version! Can you give a quick review?

Actually, I did a count last night and it's HBOND that I have the most versions of. I think Mulan or Aladdin come in second.

B&TB (movie) I have in English (original and the Special Edition from 2001), French (France French. I rarely, if ever have Canadian French because I don't understand the language so I wouldn't know the difference and I'm not THAT much of a completist. ALMOST, but not quite ), Mandarin, Spanish and Japanese.

Of the stage show versions, I have Broadway, Australia, London, Japan, Stuttgard, Vienna and Spain. That IS all of them, isn't it?

I also have the B&TB Enchanted Christmas CD in English and French.

What? LISTEN to my Hebrew CD's? Never. Well, not true...I DID listen to the HBOND one in Hebrew when I got it. It sounds....weird . Almost ALL of them sound weird to me, since I have only a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish as a foreign language and nothing else...so I don't understand a word of any of it (though I know exactly what they're saying ). Actually, the only foreign language CD I have that ever sounded "right" was B&TB in French.

Bill...you're just jealous . You haven't LIVED until you've heard The Little Mermaid in Japanese and Toy Story in Italian .

Oh, Bill, I wouldn't say you're completely out of the running. I know for a fact that you have some Japanese and French versions of the soundtracks.

I'm trying to get all of the soundtracks in the language the stories originate from, like B&TB in French, HOND in French, Mulan in Chinese, Snow White in German, Pinocchio in Italian, Little Mermaid in Danish, etc. It's just so darn expensive!

Well then you shouldn't be making fun of me, Bill . I went to Japan in 1994...got 14 Japanese Disney CD's then, although most were not soundtracks but music box, piano or symphony music...purposely didn't get the soundtracks because I couldn't read Japanese and couldn't tell if they were sung in Japanese or English . So I had to backtrack and get most of 'em from eBay.

Had to check my shelf. Yup! That's all of 'em! I also have a knock-off cheap-o version performed by "The Bloomsbury Set".

What? LISTEN to my Hebrew CD's? Never. Well, not true...I DID listen to the HBOND one in Hebrew when I got it. It sounds....weird .

But did you have to listen to it from right to left? ;D

Will have to look for the Bloomsbury CD...don't have that one.

Nope, didn't have to listen in left to right...but that's how the Hebrew cases open!

Hey Sharon If you think HBOND in Hebrew is weird I'm affraid you haven't heard anything till you've heard "CATS" in Hungarian. Now THAT'S weird.

Don't worry. I have the ultimate way to connect "Cats" and "Disney Music."

A member of the closing cast of the B'way version of "Cats" (Chorus and understudy for Old Deuteronomy) is now working at the Adventurers Club. His signature song is "I Lobster and Never Flounder."

Is that more "ultimate" than simply...

Andrew Lloyd Webber>Tim Rice>Elton John? ;D

Cats? You mean the ALW/Tim Rice "Wanna-be-a-musical" that currently holds the record for the longest running show on Broadway? Agghh! No! Add me to the growing list of people who never got "Cats." Or most things by Andrew Lloyd Webber for that matter... :)

A Sondheim fan till the end,

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there,

wether you like or dislike Cats - it might be interesting to know that Tim Rice was NOT involved in this project. He did offer lyrics for the song now famous as "Memory" but those were turned down. So there are no Tim Rice lyrics in Cats, they are credited directly to T.S. Eliot with only the lyrics of "Memory" being credited as T.S. Eliot & Trevor Nunn - which was the original director by the way and therefor partly responsible for turning down the lyrcis of Tim Rice for that song. I have been told that they were using the lyrics from Tim Rice during some previews but then decided to go with the ones from Trevor Nunn.


Yours sincerely
Dirk

P.S.: regarding A.L. Webber (please note: the last name of the composer is only(!) Webber, Lloyd is only a second first name that his father gave both him and his brother because I believed it did sound better) - I still think Starlight Express would make for a great animated feature...

Doh! My bad about the Tim Rice connection. I should have remembered. :)

Anyway, to try to get back on topic- my two (or so) must have Disney CD's would include: My Disneyland Forever Collection (I think of it as 1 box-set without a box...), Disneyland Fantasmic!, The Music Behind the Magic box set, Disney- A Legacy in Song box set and last but not least The 30th Anniversary Haunted Mansion CD.
