Each week, in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record: This week, the Mouse Lounge takes a trip to Hollywood. Not Disney's Hollywood Studios, but rather the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood California to see 101 Dalmatians on the big screen.
The film has been beautifully restored, but what really made the evening of January 18th special was the unique panel discussion prior to the picture's screening.

Enjoy!

This week in the Mouse Lounge: A full docket of Disney News from our departments Entertainment (including a GREAT guest correspondent!), Theme Parks East, Theme Parks West, and Business.
Each week in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. Walt may not have been an auto aficionado; practical transportation (with the notable exception of a backyard train) was his moteris operandi. He did realize however that car junkies and other addled nitwits that occupy the road make for some great comedic and educational material.
From 1950, we take in the entirety of Motor Mania. Now like several weeks ago with the short, Reason and Emotion this cartoon got the Ludwig von Drake treatment for the Wonderful World of Color anthology series. The difference however, is that the former was a wartime cartoon, and was edited for content when it was presented to television audiences. Motor Mania on the other hand is plain old Goofy silliness and the narration remains intact. That said, the delivery of the narration is much funnier with Ludwig, so that version is featured on the podcast.
Next up you'll hear a segment from the classic 1970 Dad, Can I Borrow the Car? If you’re at a computer, log into the multimedia section of mouselounge.com where I have posted the script from this sequence and screen captures as well. Plus, without cheating (Google or Wiki, etc.), see if you can pick out who's narrating the short and who's voice is in the training film sequence. If you do get it, it'll be just barely.
Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West. This week in Disney Parks West, we present our featured attraction; Autopia. (Just kidding!) Actually, what better way to exemplify a road trip than with one of the first loonies on the road, Mr. Toad on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
From the Disney Family Museum; Since The Walt Disney Company has recently reacquired the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and announced a December release of Oswald shorts on Wave VII of the Walt Disney Treasures series, hear in Walt's own words how he lost the character and what happened to him.
From Disney Parks East, we head over to Epcot and Futureworld and take a wild ride of our own, on Test Track.
Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. On this podcast, enjoy a special Mouse Lounge Mix from the movies, with fantastic references to cars and their drivers. This is a real hoot!
Enjoy!

This week in the Mouse Lounge: A full docket of Disney News from our departments Entertainment, Theme Parks East, Theme Parks West, and Business
Each week in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. It has long been thought that the Mickey Mouse Club lead-ins recorded in 1955 were the last time Walt ever voiced the famous mouse. With a recent discovery in the Disney Archive, that is no longer true. Presented in 1962 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Walt filmed a special Cinemascope presentation of, Disneyland USA, interacting with a costumed Mickey Mouse performing live on the stage. The voice of Mickey is irrefutably Walt.
Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West. This week in Disney Parks West, we present our featured attraction; Pirates of the Caribbean recorded in January 2007. From the sounds of bayou water lapping up against the side of the boat, to the rattling percussion of cannon fire; don your headphones and do not miss this exceptional ride-through.
From the Disney Family Museum; Listen to Walt as he talks about his relationship with the new medium of television and how that leads to the beginnings of Disneyland. Then hear Diane Disney Miller as describes to Leonard Maltin those days when she was very young and she and her sister Sharon used to spend Saturday afternoons with their famous father at the then new Disney Studios in Burbank.
From Disney Parks East, we head over to the Magic Kingdoms Liberty Square, just in front of the docked Liberty Belle at the Pirates and Princess Party and take in a set of the Riverboat Roulettes. They wrote the third song in the set, Jolly Roger, which was re-tooled and used on the pirate hijacked Liberty Belle throughout the party.
Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. On this podcast, enjoy the Dixieland sounds of New Orleans, Disney-style as we take in a set of the Firehouse Five Plus two, traversing thirteen years. One number is from their 1949 debut album, The Firehouse Five Plus Two Story, while the other two songs in the set are from Live from the Golden Horseshoe in Disneyland, circa 1962.
Enjoy!

This week in the Mouse Lounge: A full docket of Disney News from our departments Entertainment, Theme Parks East, Theme Parks West, and Business; all with a backdrop of glorious Frontierland music!
Each week, in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record.
From Disneyland's opening day, July 17th, 1955 join hosts Ronald Regan and Walt Disney as they welcome you to Frontierland. Art Linkletter then introduces Fess Parker and Buddy Ebson who sing about Davy Crockett's trusty gun, "'Ol Betsy".
From Disneyland's Fourth Anniversary Show in 1957, Fess sings "The Ballad of Andy Burnett," who then comes on stage to perform "Ladies in the Sky." Back in Disneyland circa 1959 on the border of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland we listen to the "Matterhorn Mountain Hoedown."
From Melody Time we hear the legend of the rootin'est tootin'est cowboy in the West! Nope, it's not Woody; back in 1948, it was "Pecos Bill." Not to be outdone, Rider's in the Sky pay homage to Woody and his crew; from Toy Story 2, enjoy "Woody's Roundup Medley."
Last, but certainly not least, from one of Disney's last theatrical shorts in 1962 we hear "The Saga of Windwagon Smith."
Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West. This week in Disney Parks West, we take a trip into the past aboard the "Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland."
From the Disney Family Museum; Walt's imagination takes his dreams to unprecedented heights. Some realized, others mired in bureaucracy...but all leading to one last glorious project.
From Disney Parks East, we blaze a trail with Brer Rabbit to the Briar Patch on "Splash Mountain."
Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. On this podcast: My choice of music that best embodies the spirit of Frontierland, Aaron Copland's instantly recognizable, "Rodeo: Hoedown!"
Enjoy!

This week in the Mouse Lounge: A full docket of Disney News from our departments Entertainment, Theme Parks East, Theme Parks West, News from the Ships, and Business
Each week, in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. This week we present what we call, Swing Disney; several shorts culled from the forties that have a beat you can dance to! We start out with, All the Cats Join In, then Benny Goodmans After Youve Gone, both from Make Mine Music. Then from Melody Time the Andrews Sisters sing about Little Toot and then we join Donald and Joe Carioca and that wacky Araquan as they Blame it on the Samba.
This week in Disney Parks West, we slide all the way to the back of the park on a dead night in Toontown and experience, Roger Rabbits Cartoon Spin. The queue (not the queue line!) was almost empty so listen carefully for the story setup as we wander through.
From the Disney Family Museum; With Disneyland now running smoothly, Walt sought new challenges and found it when Pamela Travers finally agreed to let Walt film her classic tale of Mary Poppins.
From Disney Parks East, we take a classic adventure aboard, The Jungle Cruise. With a hysterically pithy skipper on board, this trip around the rivers of the world is a real hoot! Listen carefully for a simultaneous homage to Paul Barrie and a cough drop.
Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. On this podcast: We take a musical journey traversing the world. From EPCOTs ground breaking parade that ran during the millennium celebration, we are reminded that America is among, a Tapestry of Nations.
Enjoy!

From the Disney Family Museum; tap into the well that was Walt and politics. While he still considered his studio a fraternity, Unionization was on the rise in Hollywood and the Disney studio wasnt immune. Nor was it spared the effects of the growing conflict in Europe which would soon hit very, very close to home.
From Disney Parks East, we cross the lagoon in Epcot and disembark in the America Pavilion where we hear the Fife and Drum Corp march into the square. We then go inside the Rotunda and hear the Voices of Liberty perform a rousing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.

Enjoy!

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)))
This week in the Mouse Lounge: A full docket of Disney News from our departments Entertainment, Theme Parks East, Theme Parks West, News from the Ships, and Business.
Each week, in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. This week we feature a new segment, Revisionist Disney.
Fans of the show, The Wonderful World of Color may remember a classic cartoon within a 1962 episode called, Ducking Disaster with Donald Duck. The show featured Ludwig von Drake illustrating what can happen when you let emotion run away with your common sense.
What fans of the series may not know is this segment is derived from a 1943 Academy Award nominated short short called Reason and Emotion. Back during WWII this cartoon had a completely different connotation, as emotion was largely thought to be the lynch pin through which Hitler could wield his evil influence.
Join us in the Mouse Lounge as we compare the similarities and differences in the 1943 versus the 1962 audio tracks. I think youll then understand why this segment is called, Revisionist Disney. Logon to http://www.mouselounge.com/multimedia.html to follow along with the script.
Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West. I do capture most live audio myself, but will give proper credit when its due. This week in Disney Parks West, we go to Disneys California Adventure and take in the High School Musical Pep Rally.
From the Disney Family Museum, sit in on a conversation between Leonard Maltin and Diane Disney-Miller, Walts oldest daughter and learn about the future of the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.
From Disney Parks East: Since closed for an extensive refurb, we head over to World Showcase in Epcot and take a ride on the one attraction whose viral soundtrack just might be more annoying than its a small world, El Rio del Tiempo.
Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. On this podcast, take a ride on the Old Mark Twain for a second helping of Satchmo goodness from a 1962 episode of the Wonderful World of Color, Disneyland After Dark.
Enjoy!

This week in the Mouse Lounge, we remember a Walt Disney quote regarding Mickey Mouse: All we ever intended for him, or expected of him, was that he should continue to make people everywhere chuckle with him and at him. We didn’t burden him with any social symbolism, we made him no mouth piece for frustrations or harsh satire. Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purposes of laughter.
To this character and in the spirit that every so often we not take all our ills so seriously we dedicate this podcast.
Now EVERYTHING in this podcast is somehow tied together with a running theme. What are the three words I have in mind?

In From the Vault this week, Shirley Temple tells the tale of Bambi, from this 1943 RCA Little Nipper album on 78s. The first half is featured here in the podcast. Be sure to check out the multimedia section of Mouselounge.com and download the second half of the story as well as pictures of the album itself.
Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West. This week from Walt Disney Worlds experience a grand circle tour of the Magic Kingdom on the Walt Disney World Railroad.
From Disney Parks West we head over to Disneys California Adventure for a ride on Heimlich's Chew Chew Train.
Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. From Gold Company we hear a fabulous arrangement of I've Got No Strings.
Last but not least…each week we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short or television program. This week, from Saludos Amigos we present Aquarela do Brasil (or Watercolor of Brazil), the finale of the film. In 1943 Tico Tico became a huge hit for organist Ethel Smith, who was featured in the film. This extended sequence in which Donald and Joe dance around the organ and we see some exquisite shots of Ethels flying fingers was deleted for the DVD release of Saludos Amigos. I have attempted to reconstruct the sequence with the original recording of Tico Tico performed by Ethel Smith and the Bando Carioca from vinyl.
