Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films


Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films
Customer Review: Great lullabies for big kids and adults, too!
Had a copy of this album on *cassette tape* in the 90s; cannot wait to rip this CD to mu iPod now that it's arrived! Bought the Rock-a-bye colection of albums as lullaby song to play for our newborn that wouldn't drive mom and dad batty with saccharine sounds. This CD is better -- takes so many familiar and good Disney tunes and adds a mature sound that baby and parents can appreciate.
Customer Review: One of the greats
This is an exceptional compilation. Not something I say lightly, I love compilations, but they have to have something special or else there is no reason to stray from the first recordings. I particularly love the renditions here of "Baby Mine" from Dumbo, and Tom Waits' "Hi Ho" is simply awesome.


The Wonderful World Of Disney : Yellowstone Cubs
In Yellowstone Cubs, hunger and curiosity drive Tuffy and Tubby, two young cubs in Yellowstone National Park. When they are separated from their mother, chaos and calamity occur.
Customer Review: bear fun the Disney way
Disney animal stories are the most fun to watch. They were able to showcase the personality of animals in such a unique way. This video features one of their television episodes from the "Wonderful World of Disney". The episode is "Yellowstone Cubs", a theatrical featurette from 1963 that was later shown on the "The Wonderful World of Disney" TV show for the first time in 1965. It was popular enough to be re-shown 3 more times over the next 10 years. The story unfolds in Yellowstone Park as the name implies, it is about the adventures of 2 bear cubs who got away from momma bear, while she frantically searches for them. This is an educational, exciting, and fun nature story. Disney studios had a way of filming real life activity in the wild and adapting it to an interesting storyline with narrative and music. Our whole family enjoys this one and recommend! I highly recommend this video and others in the series. Disney released many other titles from the TV episodes, just search on Amazon under "Wonderful World of Disney". To learn more about other episodes in the television series buy the book "The Wonderful World of Disney Television, by Bill Cotter", also available at Amazon.
Customer Review: The best of Disney, but little known!
This is the fairly straighforward story of two bear cubs in Yellowstone National Park who get separated from their mother and all manner of peccadillos follow as the two ultimately find their way into the Old Faithful Inn kitchen! Of course the mother gets in big trouble with the public and, with the park rangers who are forced to deal with her path of destruction, as she desperately seeks to find her lost offspring. There's a lot of cute animal footage in here and the film is equally gratifying to both adults and children. It's my favorite Disney film of all time. The cinematography is spectacular and the narration is anything but hokey. Watch this one with your kids.
