Walt Disney's Alice In Wonderland: Classic Soundtrack Series


Walt Disney's Alice In Wonderland: Classic Soundtrack Series
Customer Review: "Let's sing a song about all of us"
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland classic novel is truely one my most favorite children stories in english literature, and Disney did the story proud like no other Hollywood production ever did. The soundtrack is welcome, like so many recent Disney cd soundtracks, that they include opening credits, intro music, background melodies (that may get lost in noisy movie), occasional dialogue (to move the momentum of scene), and of course, the beloved songs Disney fans cherish around the globe. I bought this particular cd at the 20th Century Music Shop at Disneyland Main St. USA, and would like to start my own cd library of similar soundtracks from other animated movies. Highly recommended, and majestically packaged!
Customer Review: Fantastic
Another fine job at Disney Soundtrack restoration by master restoration producer Randy Thornton. He has taken music recorded in the 1940's and cleaned it up quite well. The movie's style required music that jumped out at you in short bursts and then dissapeared again, so most songs are very short in the movie. Randy tried to restore these songs to the length that they were originally recorded. The songs have a habit of jumping in and out of the underscore. Unlike many of Randy's other projects you do hear bits of sound effects now and then but rarely, most of the original material to use for this CD was lost to time and was no longer in the archives. Seven writers composed the music for the film, including the "UN-Birthday" song which was written by the songwriters that were working on Cinderella at the time. Most of the songs were composeded by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain. Jerry Colonna, Ed Wynn, Vera Felton, Sterling Holloway, all sung in this movie along with many more. There is a great 15 page booklet with lyrics, great liner notes, and art including the always illusive concept art that Disney history buffs treasure. Quite a few novelty songs were created for this movie at Walt's request, and the movie featured 14 original songs, the most any Disney animated film had ever had. All total the CD lists 23 tracks and 1 hour of music. Overall a gem of Disney history and very fun to listen to. Very affordable too but buy it before it goes out of release.


Walt Disney's Comics And Stories #692
When Donald's nephews take advice from a no-good bully in Carl Barks' "Swimming Swindlers," they end up playing dirty against Unca Donald in a sports contest. But the shoe's on the other foot in Mau Heymans' "Mysterious Mustachio," when everyone blames the nephews for a graffiti plague at school! Next, it's high seven seas adventure for Mickey and Professor Dustibones in the all-new "Mummy Dearest," featuring the return of the beautiful - and treacherous - pirate Lotus Blossom! Finally, Gladstone and Donald chase down lost artist Pickeasel in Cesar Ferioli's outrageous "Portrait of a Gander!"

Customer Review: Big hit, cute and lots of sing along fun!
I actually purchased this a a Christmas gift for my two nieces. They are 5 and 2 (soon to turn 3). Like most kids, anything Disney related is usually a hit. I ordered it early and after telling my brother about it he asked if they could have it early so that the girls could enjoy it through the month. You see, they love listening to CD's in the car and at home. It does have Disney twists on some of the classics -- car rides are lots of fun with everyone singing along.
Customer Review: Great Year-Round
My daughter loves this CD and enjoys listening to it year-round! Some songs are really cute while others might drive you crazy after awhile. Either way, it's sure to be a hit with any princess :)
