I recently purchased this video because i own a diffrent one and enjoyed it especially since i enjoy studying spanish. Unfortunately I was disappointed with this one. I didn't care for the selection of songs chosen. But before I purchased it I saw it had a song from "The Little Mermaid" which was part of the reason I decided to purchase it in the first place. However, if you are a fan of the movie "The Little Mermaid" let me say that the song included in the video is not from the movie but from a song in one of the cartoon series and not in the least bit as good as any in the movie. But on the plus side their are two very good songs from "Aladin" (as mentioned in an earlier review) and another good song from "Beauty and the Beast". Unless you plan to buy this video because of the two songs from "Aladin" I reccomend buying "La Sirenita:Bajo el Mar"(The Little Mermaid:Under the Sea) instead because from my opinion I think it is much more enjoyable for the spanish student and for children. Just type in -'Disney sing along songs in spanish' and it will come up, along with a few other 'canta con nosotros' tapes. Over all I was disappointed with this video but I do give some credit for the songs from "Aladin".

The theme of this video is friendship, and here is its contents: "Amigo fiel" and "Un mundo ideal" (Aladdin), "Hay Algo" (Beauty and the Beast), "Muy buenos amigos" (The Fox and the Hound), ¿Cómo le va? (The Song of the South), "Amistad" (sung by Mickey, Donald and Goofy), "En Armonía" (The Little Mermaid - series), "Juntos cantando" (The Parent Trap) and "Para eso son los amigos" (The Jungle Book). The translations are excellent, especially "Un mundo ideal", and all have Karaoke-style lyrics. I found this video to be a great aid in my high school 1st and 2nd year Spanish classes. A previous reviewer made a reference to Robin Williams - obviously Williams is not in this dubbed collection of songs. However, the Spanish voice-over is quite good in "Amigo fiel" - "A Friend Like Me". Please note that only two of the songs are from Aladdin.

this video is a exellent overview of disney's musical talents featuring alladin and the amazing talents of Robin williams who steals all the only questuionis why? This video is short and not really fufilling I suggest that the full movies should be bought especially the 2 w/ williams
