Return to Never Land (Original Soundtrack)

Return to Never Land (Original Soundtrack)
The Motion Picture Soundtrack of the Walt Disney Motion Picture that is a Sequel to the All-time Favorite "Peter Pan".
Customer Review: Jonatha Brooke's "I'll Try" is worth the purchase.
The soundtrack in total is better than most Disney Films...But the song "I'll Try" is a classic and the CD should be purchased to hear the singing and songwriting of Jonatha Brooke. Why this song did not get an Oscar nod, when songs of less substance do each year is perplexing. If you liked the film or did not even see it...the CD is worth the price. In addition Jonatha Brooke has many more CDs out of her music and one can instantly be hooked (no pun intended) at first listen...
Customer Review: One of my favorites Disney Soundtracks
I like this CD. The songs are beautiful and transport you to a fantasy world.


Lilo & Stitch Disney Read-Along
The DVD read-along version of Lilo & Stitch grabs attention with almost too many cool features to collapse into a manageable bite. For starters, you'll need to find your way around a screenful of flags. Feeling unambitious? Listen and read along with the English narration, featuring the original movie voices of Ving Rhames and Tia Carrera. Up for a challenge? Flex your foreign-language muscles with the Spanish, French, German, or Italian versions. Then you're free to follow a condensed account of the spunky Hawaiian orphan girl who unknowingly adopts an alien. Future MTV addicts will want to skip forward to the music videos (the A*Teens' "Can't Help Falling in Love" and a children's chorus rendition of "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride"), while gamers will go for the feature that reinvents the remote as a joystick. The song section parades lyrics along the screen (take your pick of languages), and the vocabulary area allows for slipping in and out of foreign tongues while learning words like "ohana" (family). Two other options, "Search the Web" and "The Magical World of Disney," aren't much more than commercials, but if you like movie trailers, click away. Lilo represents a new, bookletless breed of read-along, but, for technophobes, it's comforting to know that its volcano of options isn't about to blow. Sparing yourself a DVD lava bath of bells and whistles is as simple as sidestepping a flag or two. -- Tammy La Gorce
Customer Review: Good Concept, Bad Delivery
Captioning is a great way to teach children how to read. Unfortunetly, the captioning in this video is small and hard to read. Also, the words change sizes as they are being read. You would think this would make it easier to follow along but it doesn't - it just confuses things. On the good side of things these are great stories, the characters are familiar to many children and the music videos are fun. The other languages are a bonus too. Read-TV is a much better way to teach children to read through captions. The text is big and kid-friendly, the stories are sweet and the production values are great.
Customer Review: Good DVD!
This disc has a story, 2 songs, 2 music videos, a vocabulary section, a handful of preveiws, a game, and 2 computer web links. The story is the same as the regular CD read-along, but I think it's funny to hear them speak other languages. There are 2 songs from the movie, "He Mele No Lilo" and "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride", to sing along with. The 2 music videos are the A*Teens "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" and "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride." The vocabulary section is educational because you can learn beach-related words in 5 languages. (Swimmerifen, ha ha!) The previews are previews, what more can I say. The game isn't very hard, so it will be easy for littler kids. (I, being 12, didn't enjoy it that much.) I can make no comment on the web-links, because I can't do them on my computer. Well, MY favorite part was the sing alongs, and the "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" music video, though there was a preview of a computer game I particularly enjoyed. All in all, this is good for Lilo & Stitch fans of all ages. (Save the ones that only liked it for the Elvis music)


Disney Princess: The Essential Guide (Dk Essential Guides)
Our classic Essential Guide has never been so essential! New, updated artworks-including Mulan-make the princesses dance off the page. Images from all Disney princess movies, and stories about their lives, their princes, and much more, make this an irresistible book for little royal hands.
Customer Review: A Glittering Guide To All Things Princess
I ordered this book because of an excellent recommendation from a friend. The DISNEY PRINCESS: THE DK ESSENTIAL GUIDE is a must have for any young princess fan. However, although my daughters don't know it, I bought this book for me. As with any DK Guide, The DISNEY PRINCESS: THE DK ESSENTIAL GUIDE is logically laid out; there is a section devoted to each of the top eight Disney Princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, and Pochahontas. In each Princess's section, their histories, favorite things, friends and enemies, worlds, Princes, and stories are all succinctly summarized. Using this quick and easy reference guide, you will immediately become an expert on all things related to Disney Princesses. But this book is more than just your average reference guide. It sparkles and glitters. It is filled will lovely drawings, many from the original animated prints. Vivid, warm colors fill the pages as you move through each Princess's world. DISNEY PRINCESS: THE DK ESSENTIAL GUIDE is truly a tribute to Disney's vast history of gorgeous animation. My daughters now think I am very cool, because I can arbitrarily rattle off dozens of princess facts. I am really having lots of fun with this one. Perhaps I will let them in on my secret when they are older, and have young princesses of their own.
Customer Review: Magic for little girls
Ariel. Aurora. Belle. Jasmine. Snow White. Cinderella. Say any one of these names and many little girls will sigh over any one of their stories. Princess tales are the stories of dreams come true. (Note: This book is currently unavailable. Perhaps that is a good thing--to prevent cruel stories of a prince coming to rescue us. As if that is going to happen when in reality that prince often turns out to be the ogre in disguise. Never mind. Back to the lovely little book.) The fabulous DK publisher has set up "Princess: The Essential Guide" as a scrapbook, or memory book, of these lovely girls, who each have completely individual identities. Please follow this description of one princess to learn the type of book this is. Belle. My personal favorite. The only princess with brown hair. (Normally, as a redhead, I choose the redheads. However, I do not like the idea that a mermaid envies life on land and wants to discard her essence to fit in.) On the other hand, Belle, out of deep love for her father, is willing to sacrifice her happiness to live in the castle with a beast. The first two pages about Belle outline the basic story and describe Belle's character and interests. The next two describe and provide illustrations of Belle's world. The map of the village and outlying areas are the most striking section. This is true of each of the princess maps. Then the last two pages outline how Belle learns to love the Beast. Ah, if only this principle were true in real life. Think of how many less than beautiful men and women would have the opportunity to love and be loved. This is a beautiful book. Since it is no longer available, you will not be forced to consider adding this book to your daughter's library and continue presenting such impossible dreams. What? You think I'm a cynic? Yes, I am, but I well remember what a friend recently told me. "My daughter's just a little girl. If she wants to believe in dreams, let her. Reality will come soon enough." Well said.
