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. Join host Leonard Maltin and animator Eric Goldberg, actress Lisa Davis, animator/sculptor Blaine Gibson, and Imagineer, Alice Davis as they reminisce and comment about this sleeper Disney film.

Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West. This week from Disney Parks East we head over to the Imagination Pavilion in Epcot and take a ride with Figment on Journey into Imagination. Then take a trip back in time by going to the multimedia section of Mouselounge.com and download the original incarnation of Journey Into Imagination.

From the Disney Family Museum: With the country spiraling headlong into a near certain recession, it's refreshing to hear Walt share his thoughts about money.

In Disney Parks West we head north into Fantasyland for a ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures.

Each week we feature a unique take on Disney music. On this podcast, you knew it was comin', two very different versions of Cruella de Ville. First, from Disneymania 5, Payden Panettiere gives us a very smacking good bubblegum dance track, followed by a salubrious arrangement by the incomparable Dr. John.

Now, please keep your head, arms, feet and legs inside the podcast at all times. Driver you're clear!

Season Two kicks off with a preview of the all new Spaceship Earth from Epcot.It took three days and nearly six hours of diligent waiting during Mousefest for this recording to become a reality. From my point of view Disney brass has made it very clear to cast members that they are not to divulge any details as to when the attraction will preview or for how long. In truth, they may not know! This evening (Sunday) the attraction walls were well staffed with low level CMs answering the incessant question.VIPs clearly are being allowed privileged sneak peeks and guests are being brought in on a pacify the masses basis. The attraction is not yet finished. Perhaps Disney is relying upon the feedback from podcasts such as this to learn which direction to take in order to put the finishing touches on the work. As focus groups and preview audiences are the norm in motion pictures it would make sense that the Mouse would like to know what you think of the current incarnation of this work in progress.Log onto the DPN Forums and let your opinion be heard!

This week, the Mouse Lounge celebrated Independence Day with this very special supplemental: The Mouse Lounge Fourth of July Special!

Featured in this show is the unique American experience from Epcot's World Showcase American Pavilion.

First, enjoy the patriotic rhythms and melodies of the Fife and Drum Corp. We follow the corp as they exit and into the rotunda where we hear a full set of the beautiful harmonies from the Voices of Liberty. After their breath catching rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, we move upstairs and take in The American Adventure.

As if that weren't enough, the rousing applause dovetails into a very special American Trilogy performed by one of America's best loved singers.

Be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end of this stirring performance for a spectacular finale!

Enjoy!

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) RATED PG FOR MILD ADULT LANGUAGE

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!
