This review is from: Finding Nemo: Ocean Favorites (Audio CD)

Disney knows how to market and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm a sucker for some of their strategies almost as much as anyone else, even though I know Michael Eisner is just trying to take over the world. Anyway, just as they did with LILO AND STITCH, Disney has released a second album containing songs not found in the movie, but songs supposedly "inspired" by the film. However, all of these songs were originally written and recorded years before FINDING NEMO was even considered by Pixar. The songs on OCEAN FAVORITES are quite catchy and upbeat with hardly a slow song in the mix. Included in a couple of places on the album, for instance just before "Wipe Out", are some snippets of dialogue by supporting characters in FINDING NEMO.

My favorite songs on the album include:

"Sea Cruise"

"Wipe Out"

"Three Little Fishies"

The version of "Beyond the Sea" is sung by a female artist and isn't anywhere near as enchanting as the version on the FINDING NEMO soundtrack or the original song. "Joy to the World" isn't bad, but the Hoyt Axton version is still my favorite, even over Three Dog Night's version of the song. Overall, this is a nice album to own, even though none of the songs are sung by the original artists. I've played several of the songs from the album on my Internet radio show, and they were well received. Great listening!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Kids, May 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding Nemo: Ocean Favorites (Audio CD)

My 3 and 6-year old LOVE to dance and sing along to this CD. It may not be true to all the themes of the movie, as another reviewer suggests, but it's really a fun listen for children. Some of the more adult lyrics from "Joy to the World" are even replaced with kid-friendly lyrics. Taken at face value, this is a good CD for children and it's fun for them to hear the original songs after hearing the covers on this disc.

This is not the soundtrack to the Finding Nemo movie - but still a great CD. The songs are fun and are great for the Nemo or Disney lover as well as those wanting to hear fun summer beach going tunes. I enjoyed this CD and will keep it (even though ordered in error). Many of the songs are adapatations of classic rock favorites and you will reconginze the music - this makes this appealing to all classic rock fans and kids alike. The CD cover states - "insprired by the move" so it is a great Nemo add-on (I didn't read the despription carefully enough when ordering).
