Wonderful! It brings back many great memories of old Disney movies as well as the new ones. I also love the original TV Micky Mousketeer songs. My daughter is using this CD for her preschool class. They are loving it!
"Disney records is supposed to celebrateits fiftith aniversary..with a collection this thrown together, I wonder why bother.
Disney music is an artform . There are many classic tunes in the Disney music archieves. This collection of 50 songs on two disks offers a few chestnuts and too many repeats.
I have nothing bad to say about Hilary Duff, Cheetan Girl or High School Musical music. I just wish Disney records would have selected suh minor songs and tunes as Kirk Douglas singing "A Whale of a Tale", or Tim Curry version of Davy Crockett (from Disney's Music from the Park) to be paired with the Fess Parker's Crockett version on this collection. I wished some more rare demos (like Sean Connery singing from Darby O'Gill and the Little People), B-sides (like instead of the classic "You got a friend in me" from the soundtrack, use another version) or people like Louie Prima singing Mary Poppins tunes
On the whole, the music of this cd is build in for a younger audience. I can only wish Disney Records would release a larger more fullfilling classic like their out of print audio collection of the Legecy of Music.
It is hit or miss if you want to buy it

Nice collection of Disney songs for the casual fan

"If you are a big Disney fan, like I am, this 2-disc collection is somewhat of a disappointment. Not because the song selection is bad at all (God knows these are all classics), but therein lies the problem...instead of getting some true rarities, "b-sides", demo recordings or songs that are NOT from the animated film soundtracks, we get the standard versions that we all know and, by now, own already. It would have been nice to include rare songs from the albums Disney produced for Julie Andrews, Burl Ives, Hayley Mills, Annette, Louis Prima, as well as selections from their more recent stuff, such as Hannah Montana, Cheetah Girls 2, and the Disneymania compilations. What about Disco Mickey Mouse? If anything, I'm even more disappointed about this collection not having a single track from that commercially succesful album from the late 70's. I mean...Mouse Trap...is...a...classic!!"
Loved It

"If you like all things Disney you will love this. The recordings are the actual ones from the films and I found that fact most enjoyable."
