I'm So Disney

Walt Disney and the Disney brand are known for many things.
Walter Elias Disney was a talented artist with a remarkably creative imagination.
He probably had a bigger hand in the development of animation than any other individual.
Thanks to his brother Roy's business acumen, together they created a huge empire.

A significant part of Disney's contribution to the entertainment industry is the music.
They have surrounded themselves with talented lyricists, composers, and performers.
Here is a collection of music books that attest to their success.

This poster from the 1970s is part of an advertisement for the "Walt Disney EDUCATIONAL CATALOG."
It depicts the Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World, which opened in 1971.
The catalog at that time was already extensive, and the amount of Disney music has continued to grow astronomically.

The movie "Mary Poppins," starring Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke, mixed live action and animation.
It was nominated for thirteen Oscars and won five,
including Best Original Music Score and Best Original Song,
viz. "Chim Chim Cher-ee," written by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman.

The opening scene features Dick Van Dyke
performing as a "One Man Band," sporting
harmonica, horns, concertina, cymbals, drums, etc.,
some of many talents he displays during the story.
He's also a screever, a chimney sweep, and a kite salesman. Julie Andrews performs a duet with . . .
a robin feathering her nest!
Marni Nixon was the "ghost voice" for a lot of actresses,
but not for Julie Andrews in "Mary Poppins"; however,
she recorded her own version of "Spoonful Of Sugar."
