Editorial Reviews :
Without so much as a squeak from the Mickey Mouse Club in decades, Disney had to rally its devotees one way or another, and who better to whip them into a frenzy than the artists gathered here? Disneymania delivers a clutch of bubblegum confections bent on causing more 'tween drooling than a trip to the orthodontist. Highlights on a collection that only occasionally dips into Disney's pre-1980s catalog include the A-Teens' frothy 'Under the Sea,' 'N Sync's polished 'When You Wish upon a Star,' Jump 5's fuel-injected 'Beauty and the Beast,' and the Baha Men's bouncy 'Hakuna Matata.' Disney purists may pout over these remakes--it's tough to argue with Phil Collins's 'You'll Be in My Heart' or Elton John's 'I Just Can't Wait to Be King'--but improving on classics wasn't the point. Better to think of Disneymania as a record-length pep rally go with the feel-good flow. --Tammy La Gorce
Buyer Reviews :
The collection of songs on this CD are different from the movie originals with minor alterations in the lyrics, giving them a new potential attractiveness or a trait of weak interest. A majority of the songs are from The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. But really anyone who likes the Disney movie music will find this CD enjoyable.
The exotic rhythm and tropical imagery of The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room sung by Hilary Duff made that tune an instant addiction for me. As well as the Smash Mouth version of I Wan'na Be Like You from The Jungle Book, another song with a catchy beat and entertaining use of sound effects.
At first I had some objections to the remakes of You'll Be In My Heart, Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Circle Of Life. It's hard to imagine these songs done in any other way than those performed by Phil Collins and Elton John. The song versions that appear on this CD seemed to take away from the memorable influence they originally gave to their featured films. Plus the performance of No Secrets in the song: Kiss The Girl has a bit of that bubblegum, self-absorbed teenage girl characteristic.
But there really isn't anything all that wrong with this collection. Just mainly a CD with some fun variations of well-established classics, and it's true, the entire album does come to grow on you after awhile. In a way, still retains a touch of that Disney magic.
