I was extremely disappointed in this CD - I would have taken it back but the store where I purchased it would not take the CD back after I removed it from the cellophane.

Why? Because I had the original,vinyl record when I was a kid and LOVED it. The lyrics are great and really enjoyable for everyone. I can still repeat the lyrics by heart.

As a result, I was heartbroken when I bought this CD and discovered that all the classic songs were "remastered" meaning they were sung by different singers, at different speeds! I just could not listen to my beloved songs being gargled at high speed. These songs are very clearly NOT the original recordings.
So, this CD is being donated to the local library, where kids that did not hear the originals will hopefully not be disappointed as I was.

I was so excited to buy this CD for my two and a half year old son, because he loves Pooh and Tigger and all the songs. But, as we are enjoying his favorites Disney decides to throw in a bunch of songs about Pooh (somewhat) but by adult artists, and they are not even sung in a childlike manner. He loses interest, and sometimes starts to cry because he does not recognize or like those songs. Disney had so many songs SUNG by Pooh and Tigger et al they could have chosen, but they had to pad with some drivel. So, enjoy the CD for the couple of great classics, but fast forward through the padding.

The first nine tracks are acceptable remakes of the songs from the original movies, but your kids will know right away that it isn't Pooh Bear & company singing. We don't even listen to the rest of the CD because the kids don't recoginze the songs. I was disappointed.

..., the first 9 songs are good--they were written in the 60s. Then the CD jumps to 1996 and all you can hear is a giant sucking sound. I didn't realize that the songs were not original, now I hate it even more.

I was not really impressed with this CD. They are not the original songs with the original voices. Some of the songs were good but others I had never heard before. I was a little disappointed with this CD.

My daughter loves Pooh and unfortunately I ignored other lukewarm reviews and bought this CD. The majority of the songs I don't recognize and they didn't use the original artists/tracks for the recordings, so the voices aren't recognizable either. Beyond that, it simply isn't a good mix of songs. I'm glad I bought it used and didn't pay full price....

I almost didn't buy this cd because of the other poor reviews. What a mistake that would have been! WHAT CD WERE THEY LISTENING TO?!!! This is ONE OF THE BEST KID's CDs I have in my 200+ cd collection!! The orchestrations are TERRIFIC and the performers EXCELLENT (especially the Pooh character)! AND, to have the addition of the computer format is terrific! There is only 1 band out of 19 that I feel is out of place (too modernized arr and perfs on "Wherever You Are"); PLEASE DO NOT MISS THIS CD because of the other reviews. Kids AND adults will enjoy these arrangements!

This is a 19 song CD from Disney with one Irish-themed music video from the song (Your friendship is) The Best Present Ever. This music video is playable only in a PC or laptop with compatible software.

The songs aren't great but will entertain the little ones for awhile. There's enough "happy happy" in each song to keep the kids in a good mood, at least until they get hungry again! Under a couple of bucks it's alright.

I only paid three bucks for this CD, but I'm still bummed out by the release. I have to believe Walt Disney Records was trying to mislead customers into thinking this was a collection of original recordings by naming these songs like the originals and not putting anything obvious in the literature to indicate these were new versions e.g. Little Black Rain Cloud [1999 Edition]. The CD insert even shows 1964 copyright dates for the songs. Sadly, these are not songs recorded for the original Pooh movies--just shabby imitations.

Everything seems just fine for this transaction.This is a back-up copy for a disabled (autistic) child.
