Merry Christmas Roarbotters!!! To get you into the holiday spirit, we bring you a special episode of the Jiminy Crickets podcast from December 2017. The Jiminy Crickets gang shares their many thoughts on the 1961 classic Walt Disney live-action holiday time musical fantasy Babes in Toyland. (Now available on Disney Plus.)

In addition to describing the film in detail, the discussion includes comparisons to the many different versions of the story from the early 1900s to the 1990s, the history and origins of the film, and how the film was promoted on both TV and in the Disney parks. And there is also a wonderland of fantastic holiday music for you to enjoy!

Chris Lyndon grew up in Southern California, near Disneyland. He formed a lifelong fascination with all things Disney from a very early age, especially Disney music, and has studied the history of the Walt Disney organization for decades. His very first summer job was at Disneyland at age 16, and he also worked at the Florida parks during his college years as part of the Walt Disney World College Internship Program. His lifelong passion for Disney music has evolved into his website, DisneyChris.com. All manner of Disney music can be enjoyed there including the Disney Song of the Day, but the main focus is audio from the original Disneyland theme park in a collection he calls the "Disneyland Magical Audio Tour," with over 1650 audio tracks, full color imagery and historical information for every track posted. Chris also provided archival Disneyland audio for the September 2015 PBS Walt Disney American Experience documentary. In December 2015 he began his very own weekly podcast covering all things Disney, called "Jiminy Crickets!" Since then the show has evolved into two podcasts and he shares the stage with his amazing co-host Ruthie Brown. Currently, the original "Jiminy Crickets!" is a monthly show, presenting various Disney topics of historical significance, and there is also a new bi-weekly Disney news program called "Dateline Jiminy Crickets," which is a audio/visual program presented on the DisneyChrisDotCom YouTube Channel.
