FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANNOUNCING THE DISNEY SOUNDTRACK EVERYONE WILL BE RACING FOR THIS SUMMER!

Journey AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS with Songs by Dave Stewart,

Tina Sugandh and the Baha Men

BURBANK, CA — Based on the classic tale by Jules Verne, Around the World in 80 Days will excite a new generation of moviegoers this summer. The Walt Disney Records soundtrack album features original music by Trevor Jones (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, True Colors) with songs performed by Grammy®-winner Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics), Tina Sugandh and the Baha Men.

Fabulous adventures, hilarious predicaments, and exhilarating action await an all-star international cast as three unlikely heroes attempt to settle an outrageous wager in Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media’s new spectacle for the whole family, Around the World in 80 Days. An eccentric London inventor, Phileas Fogg (Steve Cogan), has come up with the secrets to flight, electricity and even rollerblades, but the world has dismissed him as a crackpot.

Desperate to be taken seriously, Fogg makes an outlandish bet with Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent), the head of the Royal Academy of Science, to circumnavigate the globe in no more than 80 days! With his two sidekicks – Passepartout (Jackie Chan) and femme fatale Monique (Cecile De France) – Fogg is headed on a frantic, heart-pounding, round-the-world race that takes them to the world’s most exotic places by land, sea, and air.

Featured on the Around the World in 80 Days Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the original song "All Over the World (Join the Celebration)" performed by Grammy®-winner Dave Stewart and the Sylvia Young Theater School Choir, "River of Dreams" performed by Hollywood Records recording artist Tina Sugandh and the Disney classic "It’s a Small World" performed by the Baha Men. Trevor Jones composed the score, which also is featured on the soundtrack recording.

The Around the World in 80 Days Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is scheduled for release on June 15, 2004 on Walt Disney Records. Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media present Around the World in 80 Days, which opens in theatres nationwide on June 16, 2004. All Walt Disney Records and Buena Vista Records audio products also can be ordered by visiting DisneyRecords.com.
