Advantages: Includes the classics from the best Disney films Disadvantages: Has some less well known tracks that you might end up skipping
This triple cd full of Disney classics is a must buy for any Disney fan. As well as songs from the classic films such as Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, The Lion King and many more, there are various tracks from less well known films which are just as enjoyable.
There are generally one or two songs selected from each film and so if you arent listening to your favourite, it is sure to come up on the next cd. The songs are the originals from the film and so you can sing along without having to worry about the pace or lyrics changing. This is common with some other film soundtracks!
With three cds of Disney tunes there are hours of entertainment for you and your friends. This is a fantastic triple cd set to have in any collection, whether you like Disney alot...or not so much! It is fun, upbeat and takes ...
Advantages: Great value for 3 CDs, plenty of songs for all the family to enjoy. Disadvantages: Some periods of slow, lesser known tracks in a row.
I bought this CD for my 6 year old Disney obsessed daughter. Great value as you get 3 CDs. All of the CDs have tracks that you and your children will recognise and know enough to sing along to, which is great for long car journeys.
There is a good mixture of older Disney songs from films and TV, such as 'Have you ever seen an elephant fly' from Dumbo, and newer ones such as 'Breaking free' from High School Musical, with plenty of variety on all 3 CDs.
My only criticism is that at some points on the CDs there are several slow, lesser known tracks in succession from films such as Tarzan and Mulan, which can be a bit dull.
This CD can be enjoyed by adults and children alike, but I suspect once boys hit about 6 years old they would just think 'yuk' this is for girls, but luckily we haven't hit that point yet.
Overall, it is well worth ...
Advantages: All the pieces are short Disadvantages: There are 4 of them
This is a truly awesome collection of the most popular classics. I have to say that it is probably factually correct and thus not questionable under the Trades Description Act. Here are 4, not 3, but 4 CDs packed full with a seemingly endless flow of tunes you will instantly recognise. Now, let's be honest, who will this appeal to? Well not me that's for sure, but here are the top ten reasons why buying this CD collection may be an option for you:
1. You are a child under the age of 10.
2. You want a quick bluffers guide to classical music so you can impress your mother-in-law at the Proms
3. You are a music teacher and need a resource for the class
4. You are a Classic FM fan
5. You are writing a music quiz and have no other classical CDs
6. You have a short attention span
7. You are buying something posh for your working class ...
