Mannheim Steamroller Meets The Mouse: Unique Musical Creations Based On Disney Songs
From the heartland of Nebraska, under the creative guidance of Chip Davis, the enormously popular Mannheim Steamroller has made some of the country's bestselling faux-classical synth-pop New Age music, as witnessed by the Fresh Aire and Christmas serials. Beginning in 1974, Mannheim Steamroller cleverly and skillfully created a niche--and more lucratively, a market--for their outfit and for a genre that has grown to encompass the likes of Yanni and Zamfir. On Mannheim Steamroller Meets the Mouse, Davis and his cast of accomplices tackle Disney stalwarts such as "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" (from Song of the South) and "Chim Chim Cheree" (from Mary Poppins), as well as relative newcomers to the Mouse catalog, including "Go the Distance" (from Hercules) and "You've Got a Friend in Me" (from Toy Story). Sadly, despite sweet moments in their rendition of Mulan's "Reflection" or the beloved Pinocchio tune "When You Wish Upon a Star," on which there is a lovely hand-bell choir sound, at best the Mannheim Steamroller registers a tepid nice. --Paige La Grone
Customer Review: Mannheim meets Mouse
This product is excellent, I got it for my dad's birthday and he plays it all the time in his classroom for his kids. There are a few teachers that are going to purchase it because they like it as well. Wonderful music!
Customer Review: Great Music!
Mannheim Steamroller's unique sound lends itself perfectly to the "Mouse." Wonderful music for all who love Disney!

This intriguing book traces the history of the ups and downs of this "marriage" and tells the inside story of Disney’s use and abuse of unparalleled governmental powers. The tale raises important questions about cities and the economic development choices they confront.
Customer Review: Intriguing
What is the politics/relationship between the Disney Co. and the Orlando community? Find out how community leaders in Orlando persuade the Disney Corp. with city projects so that they will thrive their business there. It's interesting how the Disney Corp. was protected from government regulation and more.
Customer Review: Zzzzzzzzz......
I'll admit, I'm only half way through the book. However, to this point, I barely understood what I've been reading. I applaud the author for his obvious intense research, but seriously, how many names can one person possibly remember? There is so much trivial and confusing jargon in here, it's making for a very long 200 page read.
