| Disney Insider Yearbook 2005 : 3 of 5 | |

 Disney Insider is a cool email newsletter full of Disney company facts and trivia, and during Disneyland's 50th anniversary they decided to start a new book series called the Disney Insider Yearbook. The idea was a new book would come out each year with articles and photos about everything Disney, delivered like a subscription. Well, even though myself and other big-time Disney fans ordered this book, not enough people did, and they cancelled the series soon after the publication of the first book! Most of the book is a little ho-hum, with plenty of text that seems to be a rehash of things I've already read, but there are definitely a few gems, such as a detailed list of all the hidden 50 logos that were on display in Disneyland. I also really enjoyed the articles on the making of Bambi and Lady and the Tramp (including some interesting CinemaScope discussion), since they are more about animation history and less about covering what parties Raven attended that year. The book came with a bonus DVD, but most of the DVD is an interview segment talking about what articles are in the book! The DVD also includes all of the Disney podcast segments that came out that year (many with archivist Dave Smith), so that makes it worth watching. I think the yearbook idea was kind of interesting, but I'm not too sad that this is the only one, since they are so many better Disney books published every year!
