Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs is yet another of the beloved British diva's collaborations with the House of Mouse, but check that title carefully. It'd be easy to assume that Andrews was applying her golden pipes to "Beauty and the Beast" and the like, but this was released in 2005, when Andrews was still not all the way back from botched vocal-cord surgery. Thus, she has personally picked the 15 songs and written notes about them, but she doesn't sing; the recordings themselves are the original movie soundtracks you've heard for years (OK, she does sing on the two vintage Mary Poppins numbers). That's not necessarily a bad thing--these recordings have definitely brought a lot of enjoyment over the years--but chances are Disney fans will have many, if not all, of them in their collections already, and they'll be disappointed if they're expecting something new from Andrews. --David Horiuchi

I really do love this cd. Nice to be able to listen to all these good disney songs sung just the way they are in the movies. Julie has a very good taste in disney songs.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs (Audio CD)

Personally, I think this is a splendid CD. It highlights many old favorites from Disney, including most of my favorites, such as Part of Your World (one of my favorites) and Beauty and the Beast. Julie Andrews and I have much in common, apparently. This is an excellent source to get favorites, personally selected by someone who knows her Disney.


Contrary to what many are saying, if you actually pay attention to the title of the CD, you are able to tell that this is just a collection of favorites, not actual favorites. If you were so compelled to buy the CD and eager to hear Julie Andrew's sing, then you would know that she is unable to produce such a project like this. (Hence the "selects", not sings.)


All in all, if you're looking for a CD to revisit your favorite highlights, this is the one. Definetly worth the price (though that's not very high).

I love this cd. It turns out that the songs that Julie Andrews loves are the same ones I love. It's perfect for me to get my favorite disney songs without having to pay lots of money for a bunch of songs I don't like, just so I can get one particular song. I recomend this cd.
