It’s interesting to compare Tokyo Disneyland to Disneyland in Anaheim, especially looking at the people in the park, both guests and cast members. Since I’ve been to Disneyland so many times, the different behaviors in Japan were fascinating, which made Tokyo Disneyland a wonderful experience (that I hope to repeat again someday). My first shock… Read More »Tokyo Disneyland Differences
I hate to interupt the wonderful job Mikey has been doing this week. But I thought I’d mention that Apple has put up a Quicktime Trailer of Tim Burton’s next Stop Motion Animated Feature – The Corpse Bride. It looks absolutely amazing.
I’m getting pretty excited about the release of Bambi on DVD on March 1st! It’s been so long since I’ve seen this movie (probably when I was very little during a theatrical re-release), so watching it on DVD will be like discovering an entirely new Disney classic for me (and I can pretend Disney is… Read More »Ready for Bambi

The covers are beautifully illustrated and definitely… Read More »Vintage Disney Sheet Music
