![]() ![]() I must say that if not for these videos, I probably wouldn’t be too familiar with Professor Owl or Ludwig. The linking footage reuses existing footage of those characters. The series has rotating hosts, including Professor Owl (who introduces the other hosts when he doesn’t host), Ludwig Von Drake, and Jimminy Cricket. The videos have an opening sequence with Professor Owl, reusing footage from the characters two shorts. For example, The Bear Necessitiesis full of songs about animals, You Can Fly has songs about flying, Friend Like Me is about friendship songs, and so on. ![]() And many of the videos seem to follow a theme. The title of the first song is usually the title of the video, and the cover focuses on whichever film is being promoted. The movie that’s being promoted is represented with two songs, one of which is reprised at the end (one exception is I Love to Laugh, which has three songs from Mary Poppins). The early volumes spotlighted movies that were celebrating their anniversary, but later ones spotlight recent theatrical releases. Most of the videos spotlight a different Disney movie. I haven’t seen very many of those live-action ones. But quite a few of these were also live-action, often with the theme park walk-arounds. Many of these featured clips from various Disney productions, including films (both animated and live action), shorts, featurettes, The Mickey Mouse Club, Walt Disney’s anthology series, and various specials. For those who don’t know, Sing-Along Songs was a collection of videos focusing on Disney songs, with lyrics appearing on-screen.
