![]() ![]() That's right, I said "the other," as in "the only other." Out of the ten included songs, only these first two originated from anything bearing the Disney name. Their ensemble of roommates provide the performance of the other Disney song, Peter Pan's catchy but obscure "Following the Leader", rather than the original cast. Enter two real-life dalmatians (I think their names are Pongo and Perdita), who rush before us into their spotted mansion, where they apparently reside with a slew of unrelated children and a mad woman who is not unlike "The Magic School Bus"' Mrs. ![]() Clearly, this is going to be an all-live-action production. The program begins with a boy on a bike and "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" sung by a woman who sounds nothing at all like James Baskett. I'd entertain complaints about the pointlessness of stringing together song scenes with subtitles when the same effect can be achieved with the whole movie on DVD these days, but surely that more traditional method is preferable to the silly rigmarole that is offered here.
