Mouse Lounge Podcast

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)))

This week, the Mouse Lounge gets glittered and gowned with the Disney Princesses!

In “Behind the Mickey Bar”, Liana and I sit down and discuss the phenomenon that is the Disney Princess franchise.

In From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. From April 1946, during the first re-release to theaters of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we hear a radio dramatization of the film, with many from the original cast. This is truly a brilliant time capsule of post war in home entertainment with a wonderful performance by the still very young Adriana Casselotti as Snow White.

From the Walt Disney Archives: Let’s go back in time and back again, and hear for ourselves the difference sixty years can make as we listen to “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Cinderella and the Seven Dwarfs, and “Almost There” from The Princess and the Frog. Two princesses, two very different ways of living.

Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week travel through a land of enchantment and stilted narration no teenager could ever do justice on the Storybookland Canal Boats.

We close the show with a pair of unexpected Princess tracks. The first is If You Can Dream, the first song that was originally written and recorded specifically for the Disney Princess franchise. It was first released on the album Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection.

The song is sung from the point of view of the first eight official Disney Princesses (though only seven of them actually sing). It has been featured on several Disney music CDs, and its music video is present on nearly every Disney Princess DVD, as either an extra or a Sing-Along, and has been shown numerous times on the Disney Channel. To this day the song still plays on the official Disney Princess website.

Finally, the incomparable Pogo, best known for spinning creative melodies of his own sampling Disney films, has released a new track with the Disney Princesses. Here now, listen to Bloom… and be sure to log into the multimedia section of Mouselounge.com to watch the extraordinary video!

A familiar tune from a very funny cartoon, "The Humphrey Hop" from the Disney short, "In The Bag" gets a Mouse Lounge Mix treatment. The song was so popular it was re-arranged and provided lyrics and released in 1956 as a single.

This week, the Mouse Lounge gets soaked, under the sea!

In From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. This week, we journey to the bottom of the beautiful briny sea and bob along with Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson in this classic scene from the 1971 motion picture, “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”!

From the Disney Company Archives: Take a plunge into the depths of the Making of the Little Mermaid.

Next, join Gary, Jim, and Liana behind the Mickey Bar at the all new Trader Sam’s where we sit with martini in hand and chat about the new haunt at the Disneyland Hotel, and an all new attraction in Disney California Adventure.

Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week we board our clamshell conveyance and again dive under the sea to enjoy, The Little Mermaid, Ariel’s Under Sea Adventure.

We'll close this week’s show with a pair of covers from The Little Mermaid Soundtrack. From 2002’s, Disneymania, first, the A-Teens in an infectious bubble gum pop and highly danceable, “Under the Sea” followed by a beautiful pop arrangement of “Part of Your World” performed by a pre-Daisy Duke Jessica Simpson.

This week on the Mouse Lounge, we glimpse into the future, Disney style.

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, from 1979 we journey to the future then beyond time, into The Black Hole!

From the Walt Disney Family Museum: Walt Disney was a filmmaker, a showman, and a brilliant storyteller; but he was also a futurist, way ahead of his time. Learn how Walt saw the future. His optimism is positively infectious.

From the Walt Disney Archives: Leonard Maltin interviews the incomparable Ray Bradbury, getting his thoughts about Walt Disney in this excerpt from the Walt Disney Treasures DVD, Tomorrowland.

Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week we see the future from the perspective of the past, from the turn of the last century into the early eighties when our featured attraction was built. Learn about the history of, then take a ride on Epcot Center’s beloved and unfortunately extinct, “Horizons.”

We'll close this week’s show with a pair of music tracks. The first points out exactly how wrong we can be trying to predict the future. Have a listen to the Computer Song, from Epcot’s gratefully short-lived “Astuter Computer Review.” Then, we tap into the very heart of Disney optimism, with Epcot’s now retired parade anthem, “Celebrate the Future”.

Pixie Dusted Productions presents...

Disneyland's, "Mark Twain Riverboat"!

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)))

This week on the Mouse Lounge, we have an e-ticket to adventure with Indiana Jones!

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 dust off a 30 year-old See… Hear… Read record of Raiders of the Lost Ark. You’ll know it’s time to turn the page when you hear the crack of a bullwhip!

From the Walt Disney Archives: From the depths of the archives in a box labeled “Do Not Open Under Penalty of Death” is a VHS copy of a 1995 television special, “The Making of Indiana Jones.” While we can’t subject… I mean show you the video… you’ll get a very real feel for what passes as infotainment in the mid nineties.

Next: Belly up to the Mickey Bar with Liana, as she and I chat, laugh, and generally carry on before finally arriving at the topic at hand, the Indiana Jones Adventure.

Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week we delve into the treacherous adventure behind the eyes of Mara in Disneyland’s The Indiana Jones Adventure!

We'll close this week’s show sans sounds effects of nuked refrigerators, truck what trucks, or the Wilhelm scream with an unadulterated and unabridged symphonic masterpiece, The Raiders March… else knows as the theme, of Indiana Jones!
