I was impressed that so many people mentioned the underscore to "American Journeys" as their favorite piece of Disneyland music, and I agree wholeheartedly. In addition to "Another Part of Me" and "We Are Here to Change the World" from "Captain EO", I also very much like James Horner's musical underscore to the film. I would be interested in any of this music if Disney made it available on CD.

Moreover, I would be interested in buying videos of "Captain EO", "American Journeys", and "America the Beautiful" if Disney made them available on DVD.

I know Disney, one time, allowed MTV to air "Captain EO", and I tried to get a good recording of it on VHS. But, I really couldn't. Even without the stereoscopic presentation and the in-theater effects, the George Lucas/Francis Ford Coppola short-subject film is quite entertaining.

Additionally, "American Journeys" is such an excellent travelogue that it also would do well out of its original Circle-Vision 360 format. Is there enough interest among any of the rest of you to see these films released on DVD and, perhaps, sold in Tomorrowland and elsewhere?

The track from the CircleVision "America the Beautiful" is on the 6-CD 50th Anniversary set; no commentary, just the score.
