In 1978, to commemorate Mickey Mouse's 50th birthday, Ovation Records collected the Music, Dialogue and Sound Effects from 37 Original Walt Disney Motion Picture Soundtracks and masterfully reprocessed them into four beautiful stereo recordings. Packaged in an attactive slipcase, this lavish collector's edition has been compiled from famous Disney Cartoon classics, animated features, live action films, Disneyland and Walt Disney World, edited exclusively for this edition.

A collection of authentic Disney art including original sketches, drawings, paintings, film stills and rare "behind-the-scenes" photographs has been beautifully reproduced in a magnificent full-color deluxe, 52 page book. Dick Schory's text outlines Disney's career and the history of Walt Disney Productions with special emphasis on the music and the people who create it.

For fifty happy years, the Magical Music of Walt Disney has captured the hearts of audiences of all ages. It all began with the introduction of a mouse named Mickey in his 1928 film debut, "Steamboat Willie." That cartoon classic not only launched the career of the world's most famous animated character, but was a milestone in film entertainment for it was the first introduction of Music, Dialogue and Sound to the animated cartoon.

This special collection of Disney's most beloved songs with related text and authentic Disney art has been compiled by Dick Schory as a lasting tribute to the creative genius of Walt Disney...his composers, arrangers, singers, musicians, sound effects people, engineers and the great talents who provided the voices for his famous characters. Presented in a Special Commemorative Edition on the occasion of Mickey's 50th birthday.
