![]() ![]() As this is a new release and not a VHS converted to DVD, clips from each film look pretty spectacular. But due to the different style of the song and the multitude of voices, it's tough to even tell that some of the voice talent has returned for this effort. The singing voices of Ariel (Jodi Benson), Pocahontas (Judy Kuhn), Belle (Paige O'Hara), and Mulan/Jasmine (Lea Salonga) are accompanied by Susan Stevens Logan, and Christie Hauser. Clips are taken from Sleeping Beauty, Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Cinderella, and Mulan. The pop song, which attempts to synch up lyrics about dreams and romance with clips from a variety of Disney films, doesn't have the charm or memorable melody of the others, but it's an interesting montage, nonetheless. Wrapping things up is "If You Can Dream", the all-new princess song, which seems more appropriate and less offensive following this mostly winning assortment of tunes. "Sweet Wings of Love", from the recently-released Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, is much easier to take, with its lyrics set to the familiar melody of Strauss' "Blue Danube." With its pop/dance groove, Cinderella II's "Put It Together (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo)" feels out of place and does not encourage me to see that sequel anytime soon. Megara's bouncy resistance to formula in "I Won't Say (I'm In Love)" from Hercules is the next number, and the last one from a theatrical release. The animation and lyrics aren't on par with theatrical output, but it looks like this could be one of the more decent direct-to-video follow-ups. Next is "Like Other Girls," from Mulan II, a new sequel coming out next February 1st. Included are some of the more memorable tunes from the past decade-and-a-half of Disney Feature Animation: Pocahontas' ode to nature "Colors of the Wind," the titular ballroom anthem from Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan's pensive "Reflection." "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty and "I'm Wishing/One Song" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs come next.įrom here on out, we stick with films from the past fifteen years. The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World" and Aladdin's "A Whole New World" follow, and even if they are products of a different era, these songs uphold the same traditional high quality seen in the films from Walt's time that surround them. Even if they're not really necessary for continuity, perhaps they'll encourage some people to see some of the wonderful films featured for the first time.Īfter the usual Sebastian-hosted opening Sing Along theme, the disc moves on to "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella, which will be the last Disney film to come to DVD. In this Disney Princess volume, the transition between songs allows the sophisticated female narrator (Sheryl Bernstein) to briefly introduce the next number and discuss the featured princess and her situation in the film. Some of the Sing Along DVDs try to have a clearly expressed connection between the musical numbers. What's presented here are some of Disney's most beloved songs and their memorable sequences in the animated classics. ![]() An offering of Disney Princess home video releases seems obvious with young females composing a significant portion of Disney's modern demographic and Disney Princess merchandise already fueling the nationwide chain of Disney Stores. ![]() This long-awaited Disney Princess Sing Along Songs: Once Upon a Dream DVD finally arrives, in conjunction with two less traditional entries in a new Disney Princess line of videos and DVDs.
