Dateline Jiminy Crickets - July 2025

This episode, Chris and Ruthie welcome special guest Shawn Deganhart to discuss his professionally engraved full Cinderella score, in which he painstakingly transcribed from the original, late 1940s, handwritten film score manuscripts. We not only discuss his beautiful 400 plus page complete score to a true Disney classic, sure to fascinate Disney fans and music lovers alike, but we also recount the fascinating history and origins of this beloved music. 

Keeping with the theme of Cinderella, we also do a top 10 list of characters from the 1950 film, and a brief history of how this film classic has impacted the Disney theme parks, worldwide, from 1955 until present.
