Mouse Lounge Podcast

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) 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!

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 televis

It has long been thought that the Mickey Mouse Club lead-ins recorded in 1955 were the last time Walt ever voiced the famous mouse. With a recent discovery in the Disney Archive, that is no longer true. Presented in 1962 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Walt filmed a special Cinemascope presentation of, Disneyland USA, interacting with a costumed Mickey Mouse performing live on the stage. The voice of Mickey is irrefutably Walt. Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East and a Disney Park West.

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) I consider this show supplemental because it doesn't even remotely resemble the Mouse Lounge format. In this departure, we take a clockwise musical tour of most countries in World Showcase, sampling live music from each. I have selected what I consider to be the best from each set recorded last week. Mexico: Mariachi Cobre All the musicians in this group are outstanding vocalists. The soloists in this number are fantastic examples. Norway: Spellmans Gledge While the audience wasnt exactly enthusiastic, there is no shortage of musicianship in this group. The double-bass player was using a decrepit old thing that sounded wonderful! China: Si Xian Anne plays a modern 21-string floor standing harp. About the size of a pedal steel guitar with both nylon and steel strings, this instrument sings in her capable hands. Germany: Oktoberfest Musikanten What can I say...Uber Oom-pa-pa! America: The Voices of Liberty Among the finest a capella groups I have y

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 we feature a new segment, Revisionist Disney. Fans of the show, The Wonderful World of Color may remember a classic cartoon within a 1962 episode called, Ducking Disaster with Donald Duck. The show featured Ludwig von Drake illustrating what can happen when you let emotion run away with your common sense. What fans of the series may not know is this segment is derived from a 1943 Academy Award nominated short short called Reason and Emotion. Back during WWII this cartoon had a completely different connotation, as emotion was largely thought to be the lynch pin through which Hitler could wield his evil influence.
