Fantastic Journey
Customer Review: Excellent Sounding Recordings
This CD has been around for a while now but it is still truly a good compilation of Science Fiction film music given a new dimension by being recorded digitally. The BATMAN selections composed by Danny Elfman are very powerful combing rousing elements with moody enigmatic passages. Most of the other selections are short or confined to one piece. The selections from TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER and POLTERGEIST all composed by Jerry Goldsmith are all performed with passion and demonstrate Goldsmith's great versatility. Bernard Herrmann's "Outer Space" from THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is brief but in effect makes it all the more powerful by its great innovation and lasting impact. The WAR OF THE WORLDS "Prelude" by Leith Stevens was a great surprise.
Customer Review: An interesting collection of obscure s/f-fantasy themes
Maestro Kunzel has gathered together a mostly-entertaining mix of music from various s/f movies. As usual with these collections, the CD contains selections that are hard to come by (if not impossible) on a soundtrack or any other recorded source. Not all of the tracks work, however. Music from "Moonwalker" is annoying, and the theme from "War of the Worlds" is just plain weird. Not Kunzel's fault, I know, but those pieces tend to (for me) mar the overall likeability of the album. That said, there are definitely keepers: The theme from "The Black Hole," the soundtrack to which was unavailable on CD anywhere until just recently and which by itself is worth the cost; the sweet chorus of Carol Ann's Theme from "Poltergeist"; the themes from "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "The Beast Master" (I am Dar!) and "The Last Starfighter." Unfortunately, these movie collections tend to waste too much disk space on sound effects. Often inserted as short introductions to a piece of music, most can be endured quickly and forgotten. But on this CD, a whole track's worth following "The Black Hole" is devoted to the inane cacophony of electronic gibberish, space that would have been much better served by playing, say, the Love Theme from "Superman." Still, there are more things to like on this album than there are to dislike.

Customer Review: Jokes And Songs Galore
Hosted by the two moose from BROTHER BEAR, Disney's Sing Along Songs On My Way has jokes and songs galore- some of which I actually found quite funny. One reason people buy Sing Along Songs is to see and hear songs from the newest Disney animated feature that they can't yet buy. In this case, this DVD was released when BROTHER BEAR was in movie theaters, and it features the two best songs "On My Way" (very catchy!) and "Welcome." Other songs include "Try Again" (101 DALMATIONS II), "Following The Leader" (PETER PAN)- previously released on other Disney's Sing Along Songs DVDs and videos "Go The Distance" (HERCULES), I'm Still Here (TREASURE PLANET), "Digga Tunnah" (THE LION KING 1/2), "On The Open Road" (A GOOFY MOVIE) - previously released on other Disney's Sing Along Songs DVDs and videos, and Aloha E Komo Mai from STITCH! THE MOVIE. Bonuses include dance tracks, word games, karaoke tracks to really test your voices, and an opportunity to hear new jokes from the original voices of the BROTHER BEAR moose. This is actually one of my favorite Sing Along Songs despite the pacing being a little slow with the moose on some occasions. I suggest if you just wanna sing the songs, after hearing the moose once, skip them.
Customer Review: Good DVD
This DVD was good,but it suffers the same problem as "Home on the Range Sing-along"-the kids showing off for the camera in the so-called "Dance Along".Once again,I suggest you skip the dance-along part if you don't want to see kids hamming it up and grinning stupidly at the camera while just stepping from side to side over and over again. The only really fun parts of this DVD were the Sing-Alongs themselves and the karaoke.
