Listing of Disney read-along book and tape sets Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD The books were typically adaptations of popular Disney movies, cartoons, and other stories, running 24 pages. Sometimes there would be adaptations of non-Disney stories such as generic fairy tale adaptations, or even certain non-Disney propertiesstories based on Disneyland theme park attractions, and original stories featuring Disney's characters. A narrator or in some titles, a character from the story in first-person read the story, and dialogue and songs from the original source were included. The sound of Tinker Bell 's chimes was the signal for the reader to turn the page. In most cases, the narrator was Robie Lester on titles, and Lois "Lane" Wilkinson on - titles. Note: Both editions of Peter and the Wolf did not include a chimes ring and thus that part of the introduction was skipped. Occasional titles have different intros, either by real people or characters. Some titles also had different signals for turning the page particularly the Little Golden Book read-alongsbut most were presented in this manner. Also the way the story was presented differed from the first and second editions. In the former, the story was usually presented in its entirety on side 1 on some shorter ones, the story was read twicewith one or two songs related to the story on side 2. In the latter, the story was spread out across both sides of the record with the related song s usually playing after the story was finished, but on some mid-to-late s titles the song s would be incorporated into the story. A handful of early read-along titles also had the story spread onto both sides of the record, but the norm was the entire story being on side 1. The first editions also had no character voices, music or sound effects accompanying the story; the sole exception was Peter and the Wolfintegrating its music score into the story and backing Robie Lester's narration. Beginning with the Little Golden Book read-alongs, nearly all new releases would include additional character voices alongside the narrator, as well as sound effects and background Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD. Some titles of existing Disney films would use the music directly from the film; others would remake it or use Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD scores. By the mids, Disney had put together a library of multi-purpose stock music cues arranged and compiled by Gary Powell to use in several read-alongs that did not use actual film scores, that are still used on certain new Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD titles to this day. A curious exception was the reissue of the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs read-along, which did not re-record the story's narration and voices, but simply reused Robie Lester's narration of the original, with music and sound effects added. Additionally, the read-along of The Night Before Christmas stayed as-is on the record version, but was also released on cassette inretaining Lois Lane's original narration with the opening modified a bit to remove referencing the title as a recordmaking it the only "original"-style read-along to also be released on cassette in addition to record. InDisney started releasing Read-Along titles on cassette in addition to the versions on records. The cassette versions Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD had the story in its entirety, plus the songs if applicable on both sides making it unnecessary to turn the cassette over to listen to the rest of the story. As such, the sides were not designated. The cassette versions were based on the second editions. The last cassette to use the end message is that of Hercules. Starting inDisneyland Records also released "Take a Tape Along" sets that included several read-alongs on cassette; each tape having a different story on each side rather than the same story being on both sides of the cassette. Originally, the Disney read-along records were pressed with plain green labels with black lettering. Inthe records began being pressed with the yellow "rainbow" labels seen on all of their LP albums beginning at that point. The cassette tapes were normally red with a white label, though some of the Golden read-along cassettes were yellow. Beginning in the late s, white cassette tapes were utilized, and then they began to be made in a magenta color Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD the early s. Beginning inDisneyland Records also began producing read-along adaptations of Little Golden Book titles, released simultaneously on record and cassette. InDisney and Golden teamed up again to produce four read-along versions of Mercer Mayer's Little Critter stories. Though not exactly traditional read-alongs, in the early s Disneyland Records also began releasing "Disney Songtape and Book" sets, which consisted of one of their existing LP albums on audio cassette, and an accompanying page read-along book containing the lyrics to the Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD. In the mids, Fisher-Price also distributed some of Disney's generic fairy tale read-alongs, along with Mother Goose Rhymesunder their own line of "Fisher Price Classics" read-along records and cassettes. Additionally, Disneyland Records and Fisher-Price co-produced read-along cassette adaptations of some of the Disney's Wonderful World of Reading books inalong with comic book adaptations of some of their animated features. They featured various characters from numerous Disney animated features and shorts of the time, and would conclude with a song or two relating to the story typically performed by Larry Groce, often coming from the older Little Golden Book read-alongs or from the Children's Favorites series of albums. An exception was several of the generic fairy tale adaptations such as Goldilocks and the Three BearsHansel and GretelLittle Red Riding Hoodand The Gingerbread Man that were reissued as cassette editions under the "Disney Presents Your Favorite Fairy Tales" banner, with new cover artwork and new songs and narration on the cassettes by Marvin Kaplan. These read-alongs did not have any character voices, similar to the read-alongs, but had background music and sound effects accompanying them, and each story began with an original song, "I Wish I Was Magic". Similarly, the read-along adaptation of The Aristocats was never made into a second edition during the time read-alongs were still being released on record, and so in a cassette remake was released; since the narration featured no character dialogue, it was reused word-for-word in the version, read by Linda Gary and with sound effects and the usual Disney read-along stock music added. There is a similar series of audiobooks called the Storyteller series. Each entry lasts for 45 minutes, but with almost every detail from the movies. For another example, the Read-Along version of The Lion King has first person narration from Rafiki 's point of view, while Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD Storyteller version has separate third person narration by Roy Dotrice. Disney also produced titles based on non-Disney properties, such as, notably, the Star Wars films years before Disney acquired Lucasfilm in ; these were released under the Buena Vista Read-Along Adventure name one exception was E. The Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD Wars titles often used the sound of R2-D2 beeping as the page-turning signal. Disney also produced various Peanuts book-and-audio read-alongs with Charles Schulz and United Features Syndicate; these were often told in script format and utilized the actual audio from the TV specials that were being adapted. These were based on select TV specials that aired, with the exception of Snoopy, Come Homewhich was based on the film, which, ironically enough, doesn't feature any of The Sherman Brothers Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD, but recycled music from It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown which was done by Vince Guaraldi.

    Preview Shelf Articles for 2016 December 1, 2016 Discovering the Wild Heritage of the Nineteenth State By Dianne Combs It has been a wonderful year of celebration for the state of Indiana. Two hundred years of statehood! We have learned many things about our political and historical heritage, but I believe that Indiana still has many secrets that need to be learned. Here at the library we have some beautiful books that will help you explore the natural history of our great state. “The Natural Heritage of Indiana,” edited by Marion T. Jackson, takes us on a lively jaunt through the terrain of our great state. To my delight, the very first picture in Part One is of the “Honeycomb Rock” at Pine Hills Nature Preserve in the southwestern part of Montgomery County. Glaciation and its effects on our landscape are explained in detail, which helps me to understand all the rock formations I come across while exploring some of our nationally renowned state parks. Throughout this section, written by Henry Gray, we are taken on several tours of Indiana. He describes the terrain as if he were driving along highways and illustrates his discussion with appropriate topographical maps. Our soil and water, wetlands and caves — all these give our state its unique stamp on the map of our nation. Beautiful photographs of the flora and fauna of Indiana fill the pages of this coffee table book. I could spend hours just turning its pages, learning about the native plants and animals with which we share our land. We have recently acquired two copies of “A Place Called Turkey Run — A Celebration of Indiana’s Second State Park in Photographs and Words,” by Daniel P.

    00:00:00 Music Music “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs 00:00:06 Oliver Wang Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:08 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock. You know, fire, combustibles, albums that bump eternally. Today we will be deep diving together into the cult classic 1971 album by Karen Dalton, In My Own Time. 00:00:24 Music Music “Take Me” off the album In My Own Time by Karen Dalton. Sad, slow music with crooning, raspy, vibrating vocals. Take me to your darkest room Close every window and lock every door [Music fades out as Morgan speaks.] 00:00:46 Morgan Host Turn to your neighbor and say, “I thank God I don’t look like what I’ve been through.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that over the years; and more than an acknowledgement of the virtue of melanin, it is meant to suggest that whatever else a close read of your backstory might reveal, pain doesn’t always show on your face. ‘Cause sometimes it shows up in your voice, as it did with Karen Dalton on her album for Paramount records, In My Own Time. Karen Dalton sounded like what she’d been through. Raspy world- weariness, longing and sadness, even on songs meant to be happy like Holland-Dozier’s “How Sweet It Is.” Karen Dalton did two things for sure on this album: uncovered pain on an album of covers, and spent those covers strumming her pain with her fingers, in blues, in folk, in gospel, and in rock.

Princess Mononoke’ s early reception in the West was characterized by a focus on the fi lm’s provenance and attendant issues of cultural translation. Across the intervening years, however, there has been a distinct shift in the frames of reference employed by Western critics to dis- cuss the fi lm, and in this respect it functions as signifi cant marker of changing attitudes towards anime in Western contexts of reception. Th is chapter tracks the evolving status of Princess Mononoke by considering the fl uctuating valu- ations of the fi lm across a 19- year period. In particular, it explores the ways in which a series of comparisons between Hayao Miyazaki’s fi lm and an eclectic mix of popular and high culture reference points, from classical European epics by Homer and Ovid to Hollywood fi lm franchises like Star Wars , have been employed to localize, frame and valorize the fi lm for Anglophone audiences.

In 2003, we experienced solid earnings growth despite the difficult economic and geopolitical environment that prevailed during most of the year. Most significantly, our fourth quarter was very strong, with more than double the earnings of Q4 in 2002, underscoring our confidence in generating growth in the new year. Equally important, we delivered free cash flow for the year that was up more than 50 percent over last year and continued to bolster our balance sheet. During fiscal 2003, our stock price appreciated 36 percent, compared to the S&P 500’s growth of 25 percent.
