DisSONGSney: Adventurtorium!

Before we start Let me ask you some questions:

1. Do you like Disney Pixer's Up?
2. Do you like Disney's Song book?
3. Do you like new experiences?

If you said yes to any of those questions then this new album Adventurtorium is the newest addition to your Disney music collection.  

     I must say when I was asked by djRom to preview the album and write a review on it; I was delighted and happy to oblige but I didn't know what to expect.  It turns out I was pleasently surprised, I love the interpretation and I think djRom is on to something.  A new way of story telling through song.  The best part of it all is hearing all your favorite songs from Disney in the retelling of Up.  I challenge you to see how many you recognize (There are so many, I love it!).  

     You get the entire story of Disney Pixar's Up with a twist.  You get a great variety of Disney music from other Disney classics, as well as a few songs thrown into the mix that are just plain fun.  All of the songs used fit perfectly into the story it is like Up the musical!   The mixes of the Disney music is just that an upbeat, exciting, new way to experience them.  



     As djRom's description of the album tells us, the tracks were mixed using two turntables, mixers, Serato, and Audacity.  Although seemingly effortless, this in no way was an easy album to put together.  I must say it came together beautifully and as I said effortlessly.  

     I think any Disney fan or anyone who appreciates Disney music will enjoy this album and I haven't even told you the best part of it all.  The best part is that 25% of the cost of the album will be donated to Give Kids the World, a fantastic organization whose purpose is to fullfill the wish of children who are terminally ill and dream of going to Walt Disney World. 

 


  The cost of the album is extremely reasonable (only $10) and you get:
          - 2 hand colored Discs
          - 4-panel hand-drawn CD wallet
          - 35 wonderful tracks
          - For a teaser check out http://jpar.co/adventurtorium-teaser/
   But don't wait to order this album because it is a limited edition, only 500 copies are being made!  

I plan to make this spectacular album a part of my Disney Music Library.  My favorite tracks so far are number 16 and 17 (I will wait till the album releases to tell you the names.)  Put April 14, 2014 at 4:14 p.m. Eastern in your calendar right now because that is when the album will be released!  Also, If you like to hear a preview before purchasing visit disdads.com radio on April 13th at 8 a.m. Eastern.  #Adventurtorium24 is the 24 hour Adventurtorium release event where you can preview the music.  Again I would not wait long to purchase as there are only going to be 500 copies. However, the album will be available for free from the Adventurtorium website.

For the general Disney fan it is not enough to listen to all of our our favoritie Disney songs over and over.   We like to hear different interpretations and variations.  This album Adventurtorium definitely delivers when it comes to that.  Be the Disney Finatic that I know you are and purchase Advenurtorium.

DisCHARney 2: Jiminy Cricket

I have decided to do an entire blog on the DisCHARney of the week.  So, after the DisCHARney has been announced on Monday look out for the blog post completely devoted to that Character. In the blog post I will also be including all the DisHINTneys for the following weeks DisCHARney.  Look on the right side bar of the blog and submit who you think the DisCHARney is; based off of the DisHINTneys.  You will have from Saturday to Monday evening to submit your guess.  I HOPE EVERYONE is enjoying the blog if so head over to Facebook (www.facebook.com/dislizney) and like the page.  Also, you can follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/dislizney) and pinterest (www.pinterest.com/dislizney)


DisCHARney 2: Jiminy Cricket

Originally voiced by: Cliff Edwards
Originally Animated by: Ward Kimball  http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Ward_Kimball
Full name: Sir Jiminy H. Cricket
Appearances: Pinocchio, House of Mouse, Once Upon A Time, among many others.
Song: "When You Wish Upon a Star" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pguMUFyJ3_U

 "Just Let Your Conscience Be your Guide" 

Jiminy Cricket is the beloved sidekick from Pinocchio!  He is the personified version of a conscience.  How great would it be to actually talk to your conscience?  It would be a lot harder to make a bad decision if you could.  Jiminy is the first of a long line of Disney sidekicks.  He is the only sidekick to be as important as the protagonist (Pinocchio).  He is also the only Disney Sidekick to appear independently from his original film.  We often see Jiminy in Video games as the "Guide" throughout the game (Kingdom Hearts) this is very fitting since Jiminy is in fact a guide for life.  

Link is for a Disney Blog article about a Parade the use to run at the Magic Kingdom in the 1980's




DisRIDEney:  http://www.talkdisney.com/forums/wishes-nighttime-spectacular.htm
This is a link to a YouTube video of Wishes where Jiminy is the narrator through out the show.  A fitting choice since aside from Mickey Jiminy's is also very well know and he is a guide for many. This is a disHINTney see if you can connect the dots.

This is a link to a youtube video on how to draw Jiminy Cricket.  I used this to give you a little Disney magic. You can feel like you are in Hollywood Studios. DisTIPney: if you sit through the drawing class you will have an excellent suvineer to bring home with you! (We drew Dopey and framed it to put in our office) If you don't to watch the video here is a picture guide http://m.wikihow.com/Draw-Jiminy-Cricket
DisHINTney: While you are drawing Jiminy pay attention to the surroundings you will see next weeks DisCHARney.



Interesting..
"Jiminy Cricket"  was often used in place "Jesus Christ" as a euphemism.
