fifty years in the future, taking place after Warners' previous Batman
series, THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN. The album includes twenty
tracks. Also, the inlay and CD booklet include comments about the
soundtrack music by Bruce Timm, the series' producer, and artwork from the
series' opening sequence. The CD will retail for US$13.98, and the cassette
will retail for US$9.98. Rhino, with Turner Classic Movies, is also
releasing HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS AND HORTON HEARS A WHO together on
one CD or cassette on October 5 in the US. Originally broadcast in 1966,
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, directed by Chuck Jones, has become one of
the most popular holiday programs of all time, and its songs are some of
the most memorable. GRINCH features Boris Karloff as narrator and in the
title role as the miserly creature who is transformed by the true meaning
of Christmas. The new CD includes Dr. Seuss' lyrics to "Trim Up The Tree,"
"Welcome Christmas," and "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch," as well as all
the dialogue from the show. Jones and Seuss followed the success of Grinch
in 1969 with HORTON HEARS A WHO. Horton tells the tale of an elephant who
can hear beings too small to see. All the dialogue from the program is
included on the CD, along with a new interview with Jones detailing the
inside story of both shows. The CD will retail for US$11.98, and the
cassette will retail for US$7.98.
