Designing Disney
$12.28
Designing Disney sets into history and puts into context the extraordinary contributions of the late John Hench, who, at the age of 94, still came into his office at Imagineering each day. His principles of theme park design, character design, and use of color made him a legendary figure, not only for Disney fans but also for students and aficionados of architecture, engineering, and design. Designing Disney reveals the magic behind John’s great discoveries and documents his groundbreaking in several key areas: “Design Philosophy” examines the values, attitudes, aesthetics, and logic that went into the original concepts for Disney theme parks. In “The Art of the Show” and “The Art of Color,” Hench reveals the essence of what makes the parks work so well. And in “The Art of Character,” he lets the reader in on the how and why of the Disney characters’ inherent popularity-their timeless human traits, archetypal shape and gestures that suggest these qualities graphically, and their emotional resonance in our lives. >>Read More

The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World
$84.95
Though it’s neither as comprehensive nor as elegantly presented as The Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song, this compilation is an enjoyable sampler of music from Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Naturally, the music’s good for reliving memories of the parks, but when listened to at home, the best selections reveal previously unnoticed complexity. The oldest recordings, like “The Tiki Tiki Room” and “Grim Grinning Ghosts” (from the Haunted Mansion ride), are seamless show tunes that grapple inventively with the limitations of analog and mono. And the Main Street Electrical Parade theme song is a freaked-out Moog marathon that must be heard to be believed. This disc offers one of the best uses yet for your CD player’s “program” function–pick out the songs like you’d pick out a ride, and never wait in line! –John Sanchez >>Read More

I live right outside of Downtown L.A., but my parents’ paranoia for my safety has kept me from fully exploring the area. Since my bus ride home goes through Old Chinatown, I recognized the street in the video and my day at jury duty allowed me to visit city hall and the sunken Mall – ever since I was a kid I’d been wondering what the colorful structure was. Now I really want to grab my bike and explore Downtown more thoroughly.

The video brought back a ton of memories. I lived in a house only 2 blocks north of the Bob Baker Puppet Theater in the Echo Park neighborhood back in the early 1960s. I also used to go to Chinatown and Cliftons. What a cool video!!

WOW! Wow. I didn’t realize, that day in Panama City, FL, that the nice man my husband & I gave beads and dubloons to after the mardi gras parade, was THIS talented and insanely interesting person!! You are a riot. We are going to have to come to LA just to see you again. Do you still do the tours?
