my sister bought this for me one christmas a few years back. i was a teenager but didnt care because it was only a joke present anyway and she knew aladdin is my all time favourite disney film!
This soundtrack is a must buy for the kids who love the classics. i know most at the moment love modern films such as shrek and shark tale, but please for all older teenagers out there get young kids back into the classics of disney. Just buy them this cd to get them into it. Its fantastic music and has every song that is sung in the movie including some instrumental music to get into the mood of agrabah!
These are all the songs on the cd:
1) Arabian Nights- the first song and some say the best. gets into the feel of aladdin and presents the mood for the whole of the cd
"Oh i come from a land, from a faraway place where the caravan camels roam..."

2) Legend of the lamp- the merchant tells the story of the infamous lamp

3) one jump ahead- you hear aladdin and how he has to steal to stay alive
"One jump ahead of the breadline one swing ahead of the sword i steal only what i cant afford..."

4) Street urchins- abuse basically to aladdin

5) One jump ahead- a reprise of the first

6) Friend like me- meet the genie of the lamp and all he can do for you
"Mister aldaddin, sir what will your pleasure be!"

7) To be free-

8) Prince Ali- Aladdins first wish is to be made into a prince
"Prince Ali mighty as he Ali Ababwa strong as ten regular men defiantely!"

9) A whole new world- the famous song by aladdin and jasmine where they first fall in love
"I can show you the world shinning, shimmering, splendid"

10) Jafars hour- instrumental
11) Prince Ali- reprise
The rest of the songs are all instrumentals
The ends of the earth
the kiss
on a dark night
jasmine runs away
market place
cave of wonders
aladdins word
the battle
happy end in agrabah
a whole new world- aladdins theme

This is a magical cd that will astound your kids and keep them entertained. It will also have you remembering the movie and have you singing along in no time! The cd is quite cheap anywhere you go. amazon sells it for around £3.25
The one thing that bugs me is that sometimes the voices sound different to the ones in the film but hopefully that wont bother you. Also the kids might find the instrumentals to be boring so i suggest you ignore the second half of the Cd.

So come on buy this cd which is a magical carpet ride for everyone!!!!!
