1964 Disneyland LP. Terrific sollection of recorded sounds from Disney Studios. Great Disney art. Decorative Interior liner with spooky party hints
Customer Review: This should be on CD!!!
I remember getting this on a LP in 1969, Great sound effects! Especially the cat fight, and the Ghost that was taken from the Lonesome Ghost Cartoon. BUT, Disney needs to put this out on CD!!!
Customer Review: One of the best LP's ever made...
I remember listening to this over and over and over when I was a kid. I've always been a huge Halloween buff, and this record is one of the reasons for that. The first track on side one entitled "The Haunted House" is amazing. The rest of the tracks are so fun to listen to. One of them may seem slightly inappropriate, considering how everyone is so PC these days. It is entitled "Chinese Water Torture". You can only imagine. Anyways, it is a must for those of us who collect LP's, and it is a Halloween tradition, atleast for myself, to listen to this thing at least fifty times every October. I love it!

Disney Recipes: From Animation to Inspiration
From short movies to full-length feature films, characters from the great Disney movies are often seen sipping soups, consuming cakes, or sampling any number of gastronomic delights. One hundred and one delectable recipes, based on favorite food scenes from the films and created by award-winning American chef Ira Meyer, are collected in this colorfully illustrated cookbook. Savor Snow White's Gooseberry Pie, Ariel's Bouillabaisse, or spaghetti and meatballs from Lady and the Tramp. Disney Recipes is a treat for the entire family, with easy-to-follow instructions that include tips for how to involve kids in the preparation. Sprinkled throughout with original artwork and beautiful stills from the movies, this is one tasty treat.
Customer Review: Good going Ira Meyer!
Compared with Disney's Mickey Mouse Cookbook, this one is just as good, and worth checking out because it's so updated--it contains new movies not made in time for the other book, and many rarer Disney cartoons as well. The beginning has a section dedicated to recounting the history of food as featured in Disney animation. The rest of the book is then divided into categories of recipes inspired by Disney characters and movies. Each recipe is assigned to a particular character (it often makes perfect sense because the character is somehow directly connected with the type of food, and other less obvious matches manage to make sense anyway because the recipe is symbolically linked with the character.) A couple of them are given to entire movies as well. The recipes also contain a quote from the movie (frequently food-related), shots and sketches from the animation, and notes on serving suggestions, variations, details, and what kids can do to help prepare each dish. For those that include alcohol, it's always suggested that it be replaced with apple juice or something more kid-friendly. The book presents some good-looking desserts and breakfasts and even features a recipe for pet treats--Kanine Krunchies, as seen in "101 Dalmatians." Some of the recipes have photos of the finished product and some don't. Three beverages comprise the final chapter, including Herculade, the soft drink of heroes. One feature of the book I especially liked was the provision of nutrition facts for the recipes--though many of them are astronomical in the measurements. For instance, I find it very hard to believe that the Oliver & Company dry-roasted chicken contains 616 grams of saturated fat in a single serving. Unless the serving is sized for a t-rex or they intend to kill the people who eat it, I really get the impression that a good number of these charts must be inaccurate. On that note, a few extremely tasty-looking recipe ideas like Si and Am's Thai appetizers or Mushu's egg rolls and juk have high numbers too (and, of course, things like King Midas's hamburger). But on the other hand, there are some delicious-looking recipes which, even if you use the ingredients exactly as printed, are very good indeed on the nutrition factor. Baloo's jungle ambrosia salad of various fruits and Cinderella's herb and egg white soup fit this category. There are some recipes you just can't miss if you're doing a Disney cookbook, such as Lady and the Tramp's spaghetti. This book also includes such appropriate ones as the Walrus and the Carpenter's oyster salad, Kuzco's (even though this should be labeled as Kronk's) spinach puffs, and Widow Tweed (of "The Fox and the Hound")'s cheddar soup with herbed crisps. The Cheshire Cat's marinated fish salad is attractively bright in color and looks a possible good choice for even a non-seafood-fan in general (such as me). Honestly? The only one thing in the book that looks truly unappetizing is the "Treasure Planet" Astral Soup. The photo of the bowl shown is terrifying to me; in the soup I can see tentacles, shells, large claws, and entire bodies of sea creatures lying there with eyes glaring up at me. So overall, a good score for this book.
Customer Review: Great Cookbook for Kids
This is probably one of the better children's cookbooks there is, for several reasons. 1. All of the recipes are based on Disney movies and/or characters that most children know, although some are from movies I've never seen, and less recognizable characters that I've never even heard of, and I've been a Disney fanatic for years. 2. All the recipes are realativly easy, although some have foods that picky eaters wouldn't want to eat. The book is laid out in a good format. It has appetizers first, then soups, then entrees, etc. It also has beautiful pictures and pencil sketches of the characters, as well as quotes, mostly having to do with food. There is also at least one recipe from each movie up through Mulan, which is fairly recent. There is also several pages of safety tips, "from the characters." Overall this is a very good cookbook for children who want to help prepare meals with there parents.
