Disney's On the Record - A New Musical Revue (2004 Original Cast)


Disney's On the Record - A New Musical Revue (2004 Original Cast)
Following a now-familiar recipe, this musical revue uses a new narrative to string together a series of classic tunes. This time, they are culled from Disney's ample vaults. The material is impressively comprehensive. The oldest song originated in The Shindig (1930) and the newest are from Toy Story 2 and Disney's Tarzan (both 1999). Many of the numbers are grouped in likeminded "sessions." Some focus on a single movie, like Dumbo or The Little Mermaid, while the session dubbed "Silly Symphony" is pulled from nine different flicks. Kids will be delighted by the evergreen classics, while music-minded parents will get a kick out of nuggets written by 20th-century pop titans such as Peggy Lee (cowriter of the tunes from Lady and the Tramp)and Carl Stalling ("Minnie's Yoo-Hoo"). The cast is adept, the plot is--oh, who cares? This is all about the songs, and it's almost scary to realize just how many of them have become part of the American collective unconscious. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Review: Puts you in a good mood
I listen to this all the time. I love it. It in my opinion is worth the money.It's great to hear the Disney's songs all jazzed up.
Customer Review: Great CD, Wonderful Songs!
I fell in love with this CD when the second song, "Give a Little Whistle" started playing. I ADORE classic Disney songs, and I thought that this was a brilliant way to combine them in an enjoyable way. However, some people will not like this CD. My sister, who isn't such a Disney freak, didn't like it because the songs were different from the oringinals. So trust your gut, but I think you'll enjoy it!

Customer Review: Perfect For Poppins Fans
As Disney Sing Along Songs go, this one is not particularly great- at least for me. Nothing particularly wrong, it's just that I'm not the biggest fan of Mary Poppins. For you Poppins fans though, it is a bit of a feast with 3 Poppins songs. And as is routine, other Disney songs compliment this video.
Customer Review: Name Change
I got this video when it first came out but it was called "I Love to Laugh" at that time. Maybe when they changed all of the boxes around 1994-1995 the video was renamed. Still, a great video even for older folks who enjoy listening to Disney music.
