Magic Music Review - Ep. 24 - Fantasia 1940 Part 1
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Hey Disney Music Lovers!
Welcome to another episode of Magic Music Review. In this episode we are talking about Fantasia from 1940. This is the first of two episodes. There is that much to talk about in this amazing movie! It is a beautiful masterpiece that I feel sometimes gets overlooked in the history of movies, not just Disney movies.
I am joined by Aaron Kaplan, and he has some wonderful facts and details that he shares which really bring the music to another level.
As always, I would love to hear from you! I want this to be a conversation, not just a one-way conversation (which really isn't a conversation. That is more of a lecture!) You can email me at jim@thegoofyguy.com.
Also, be sure to check out my other podcast The Goofy Guy Podcast! We talk about Disney news and various Disney Topics! It comes out twice a week, and it is a lot of fun! You can find it where you get this podcast! You can also sign up for The Goofy Guy newsletter at www.thegoofyguy.com It is a great place to get more Disney fun!
Thanks, and here we go!

Hey Everyone!
We are back with another episode of the Magic Music Review!
I'm so excited about this episode! We are talking about the 1994 Disney Animated Classic, The Lion King! There is so much great stuff to talk about with this masterpiece!
Aaron Kaplan is with me again to talk about this film! He first saw it when he was 5! So this definitely has a special place in his heart!
This movie has great songs and a great score! Elton John (Music) did a brilliant job with Tim Rice (Lyrics) and Hanz Zimmer (Score). We also talk about the impact that Lebo M. had on the music in this movie! He is an unsung hero in this story!

Hello all!
In this episode, we are talking about one of my top ten favorite movies. Enchanted! I love this movie so much. It is a beautiful homage and send-up of Disney princess movies. There are lots of little nods to the princesses of the past. And Amy Adams is wonderful as Gisselle! I love the music in this film as it is so clever and well done. I can't wait to share it with you!

Hi Everyone!
Here is Part 2 of my interview with Deke Sharon! If you haven't heard part 1 yet, be sure to go back and listen to Episode 16! It's great!
In this part we talk about the live performance of DCappella and discuss some of the music arrangements for the group, and the thought behind them. We try not to geek out too much. Sometimes you just can't help it. It is a lot of great information that I'm sure you are going to love. Deke is such a great guy, and that really comes through in this interview!
Deke Sharon can be found on all the socials below:

And he has a podcast called "Counterpoint" that you can listen to here:
I mentioned in the podcast about the books by Deke Sharon, they are:
1. A Cappella Arranging
2. So You Want to Sing A Cappella
3. A Cappella
4. The Heart Of Vocal Harmony
You can find all of the on Amazon.com.

Hello Everyone!
I'm really excited about this episode where I interview Deke Sharon! He is the creator of DCappella, Disney's new contemporary a cappella group! He was so generous with his time and knowledge, and we had a great time talking. This episode is about how he started in a cappella and then the creation of the group. So much great information. How DCappella came about is so interesting, and I believe you will find it interesting too!

Sunday Feb 17, 2019
Hi Everyone!
Welcome back to the podcast as we finish up Mary Poppins Returns. I had so much fun with Mandi and Sean (and the roommate Zach eventually joins us)! We do go a little off the rails in some moments (maybe talk about Meryl Streep a little long. Or even the umbrella.) It was so much fun though and I hope you enjoy listening to it. I'm sure I will have them on in the future!
