Walt Disney Records Celebrates 50 Years of Turning Music into Gold with a Two-Disc Commemorative Edition - Disney: The Music Behind the Magic

Featuring Special Liner Notes by Film Critic and Historian Leonard Maltin

 Nov. 10, 2006 Walt Disney Records (WDR) is proud to celebrate its 50th anniversary with the November 7, 2006 release of Disney: The Music Behind the Magic, a special 2-disc commemorative edition set filled with the music that has been enchanting and entertaining audiences for generations. Disney: The Music Behind the Magic highlights 50 of the most beloved musical classics and current hits from Disney movies, television shows, theme parks and Broadway musicals. The deluxe package includes liner notes written by respected film critic and historian Leonard Maltin.

The 50 carefully selected tracks represent numerous milestones for the label and The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) such as "Some Day My Prince Will Come" from Snow White (first soundtrack), "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Pinocchio (theme song for TWDC), "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" (first single from a television show), "Monkey's Uncle" by Annette Funicello (the label's first teen sensation), tracks from Mary Poppins (album held the #1 position on Billboard's Top 200 Chart for 14 weeks) and "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King (soundtrack earned WDR its first Diamond Award from the R.I.A.A., certifying sales of 10 million units). Disney: The Music Behind the Magic also includes "Cheetah Sisters" from The Cheetah Girls (multi-platinum soundtrack) and the gold single "Breaking Free" (the mega-hit single from 2006's multi-platinum soundtrack and the #1 best-selling album of the year, High School Musical).

The collection also features eight songs from one of the most admired and prolific musical talents of our time, composer Alan Menken. This Academy Award(R), Grammy Award(R), and Golden Globe Award(R) winner is responsible for a slew of unforgettable Disney classics including "Part of Your World" (Little Mermaid), "Under the Sea" (Little Mermaid), "Be Our Guest" (Beauty and the Beast), "Beauty and the Beast," "A Whole New World" (Aladdin), "Colors of the Wind" (Pocahontas), "The Bells of Notre Dame" (Hunchback of Notre Dame) and "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" (Hercules).

Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin, who penned original liner notes for Disney: The Music Behind the Magic, notes, "Although Walt Disney Records is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, the music in this collection dates back even further. That these songs are not only still enjoyable but recognizable today is just one of the reasons Walt Disney holds a unique place in the annals of popular culture - and popular music. In fact, no other movie studio or television network has such a long and successful association with popular music . . . but as Walt was fond of saying, we should never forget that it all started with a mouse."

Leonard Maltin, one of the country's most recognized and respected film critics and historians, is now in his 25th season with television's Entertainment Tonight. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The London Times and other noted publications. His annual paperback, Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, established his reputation in the entertainment industry; he was 18 when the first edition was published. He also authored the book The Disney Films, a guide to Walt Disney's greatest individual achievements in film. Maltin also has written a number of television specials including Fantasia: The Creation of a Disney Classic and hosted and co-produced the popular Walt Disney Treasures series on DVD. -0-

Disney-Pixar's Blockbuster 'CARS' Roars into Stores for the Holidays

Year's #1 Animated Film a Huge Hit for Parents and Porsche - "Sally Carrera" is Among the Film's Favorite Characters, Especially Among Girls

 Nov. 10  Holiday DVD viewing will be revved up with more horsepower this year, thanks to the release of the Disney-Pixar animated hit "CARS" which makes its DVD debut in stores this week.

Also making her holiday homecoming will be "Sally Carrera," the movie's leading lady that was modeled on Porsche's flagship sports car, the venerable 911. Sally Carrera is the only modern, production-based car with a leading role in this ground-breaking film.

CARS is a musically-charged, comedy-adventure box office favorite about a hotshot rookie race car who, with a fun cast of car-acters, goes on the ride of his life. CARS takes audiences of all ages on an incredible adventure that blends a heartfelt story, great music and breathtaking animation. Disney- Pixar's brilliant use of Sally Carrera as the "sassy blue Porsche" made her one of the most popular characters in the hit movie, and a top one with parents who saw Sally as a strong and positive role model.

CARS is one of the rare movies that can be enjoyed by the entire family, and gives parents, especially fathers, the ability to interact with children in a meaningful way.

"This incredible movie helped Porsche reach a much broader audience than any other product placement in our history, which is saying a lot considering how many Porsches have appeared on the silver screen," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, Porsche Cars North America's President and CEO. "This is a softer image for Porsche."

Porsche's involvement in the film was not a case of corporate product placement. Rather, the model's attributes of high-performance, style, and sophistication, led the film's creators to cast Sally as a Porsche in the most technologically advanced animated film of its time.

The movie has given Porsche extensive exposure around the world, especially among women and children who might not otherwise be exposed to the Porsche brand. With more than 30 million people enjoying the film during its theatrical release, Porsche's involvement with the film has been a unique opportunity to reach a wide family audience that includes today's car lovers and tomorrow's aspiring ones.

"We've been thrilled to be a part of this wonderful Disney-Pixar adventure, and are excited that a whole new audience will be able to experience it as a DVD," adds Schwarzenbauer. "Beyond being a great movie for the whole family, this film also shares a common connection with Porsche, highlighting the pure pleasure of driving. Life truly is about the journey, not the finish line."

CARS' broad appeal at the box office can be attributed, in-part, to its rich blend of diverse characters. In fact, audience research has shown that adult movie-goers felt that Sally Carrera's presence is important as a strong, major female character in the film. Her positive relationship with the male lead of the film, Lightning McQueen, is also an important story point appreciated by the audience. Additional research indicated the character of "Sally Carrera" was particularly appealing to young audiences, especially young girls.

Loaded with a full tank of electrifying DVD bonus features, the highly anticipated CARS DVD debut includes an exclusive all new animated short "Mater and The Ghostlight," and Pixar's Academy Award(R)- nominated "One Man Band" (Best Animated Short 2005). Revving up and rounding out the CARS DVD bonus features is the fascinating behind-the-scenes "Inspiration for CARS," an exciting journey with director John Lasseter that explores how the story of CARS was born, as well as deleted scenes and a special sneak peek at the highly anticipated next Disney-Pixar feature RATATOUILLE.

Available in separate widescreen and fullscreen editions on November 7, 2006, CARS is priced at U.S. $29.99 (SRP) and Canada $36.99 (SRP) from Walt Disney Home Entertainment.

 Disney's The Little Mermaid featured in Oceans Awareness PSA Campaign.

The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, Environmental Defense and the Ad Council are launching a new PSA
campaign, featuring Disney's the Little Mermaid.

Oceans are essential to life on Earth, but are now at risk from human activities. Oceans
do not have an infinite capacity to absorb the pollution we allow to flow into them.

No matter where you live, plastic litter and carelessly disposed motor oil can flow
through storm drains to rivers and the sea. People generally don't realize that most
ocean pollution originates on land.

The ads in this campaign are designed to raise awareness about the connection
between our activities and the health of the oceans. Featuring characters from
Disney's The Little Mermaid, the PSAs will inspire our audience to prevent pollution
before it harms the ocean and the creatures that live there.

"Snow" Flurries Forecast for Disney's Private Island, Castaway Cay

Holiday magic will deck the halls and add sparkle to the decks for guests who sail with Disney Cruise Line beginning this Thanksgiving and continuing through to the New Year. Both Disney Magic and Disney Wonder will spread an abundance of holiday cheer, from traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts to "snowflake" sightings and seasonal caroling.

A special 10-Night Holiday Caribbean Cruise is planned for Disney Magic from Dec. 16 through Dec. 26. The Eastern/Southern Caribbean cruise will call at ports not typically on the Disney Magic cruise itinerary, including St. Lucia and Antigua.

(Click here for details)
The Holidays are magical aboard Disney
Cruise Line. Guests on both the Disney
Magic and Disney Wonder will find a
nearly three-deck-tall tree festooned
with decorations in the atrium lobby,
where snow flurries fall and a
tree-lighting ceremony occurs.

The spirit of the season will surround cruise guests from the moment they arrive at Port Canaveral, Fla. Disney characters decked out in their finest holiday attire will welcome guests to the lavishly decorated private cruise terminal. During holiday sailings, guests will discover:

-- Thanksgiving festivities complete with Thanksgiving Day meal with all the trimmings, craft activities with a focus on pilgrim hats and turkeys, and visits by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse dressed in Thanksgiving costumes.

-- A nearly three-deck-tall tree festooned with decorations in the atrium lobby, where "snow" flurries fall and a tree-lighting ceremony occurs.

-- A Christmas Day visit from Santa Goofy, with surprises for all the kids.

-- International holiday caroling by crew members from around the globe (exclusively on the Christmas cruise).

-- Special family time for designing and decorating gingerbread houses.

-- A reading of "The Night Before Christmas" by Mrs. Claus.

-- Traditional holiday feasts in Disney's three themed dining rooms (Christmas cruise only).

-- Multiple faith and interdenominational holiday services (Christmas and Hanukkah cruise only).

-- A ship-wide party to ring in 2007 and a New Year's Day tailgate party.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, Disney Magic embarks on a special Western Caribbean journey, during which the ship sails twice to Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. The seven-night voyage departs Nov. 18, arriving first at Castaway Cay for the usual Disney Cruise Line visit. When the ship returns the day after Thanksgiving, the island will be transformed into a Magical Wonderland, where the sandy Bahamian isle becomes a "snowy" holiday hideaway. "Snow" flurries will fall like magic, Christmas trees will glow and carolers will croon. Mr. and Mrs. Snowman, wearing shell noses and tropical attire, will greet guests with a sleigh full of presents. The tram that transports guests across the 1,000-acre island will be reindeer themed, complete with antlers and tail. A four-night Disney Wonder cruise stops at Castaway Cay on Thanksgiving Day.

At the beach, families can learn the art of sand sculpting, and kids can dive into holiday-themed activities that include making candy cane reindeer, paper plate angels and snowflake-mobiles.

The Disney Magic 10-Night Holiday Caribbean Cruise departs Dec. 16, with visits to Key West, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Thomas/St. John and Castaway Cay. The Disney Wonder four-night Christmas cruise departs Dec. 24, with visits to Nassau and Castaway Cay.

To celebrate the New Year, Disney Magic departs on its seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary Dec. 30; Disney Wonder departs Dec. 31 for its four-night cruise.

From Thanksgiving through the New Year, Disney Cruise Line guests will experience a magical holiday to remember.

But as Copper gleams in the limelight, Tod and Dixie quickly discover that playing second fiddle isn’t their true calling – and they hatch a scheme to make things right again. As the plan goes awry with disastrous results, everyone must bond together to bring harmony back to the mutual friendships, and fame where it most belongs.
