Greg Ehrbar and the History of Disney and Hanna Barbera Records; Moana 2 Soundtrack Release

11/26/24 • 84 min

The history behind how Disney started its own record label and music business is often overlooked, but fascinating. We are joined today by Greg Ehrbar, author of Mouse Tracks: The Story of Walt Disney Records to discuss that history. Greg is also an expert on Hanna Barbera, and just released a new book, Hanna Barbera, The Recorded History: From Modern Stone Age to Meddling Kids. We discuss the parallel paths of the two companies and the importance of music to both.
