5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Music....Poor Price, June 9, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Pete's Dragon (Audio CD)

This album is fabulous! It does not quite do justice to the movie, as it cuts out parts of some of the songs, but it is still quite good. It even comes with a booklet with all the words to all the songs! However, the price is absolutely ludicrous! If you are not in a hurry, I would VERY strongly urge you to get this CD from the used and new section. I bought this cd from the seller "caimon.com", and was very pleased with them. Their price was exactly what I thought that Amazon should be charging, the item arrived within the time they said it would, and the product was in the condition stated. To be very blunt, buy it used and new, or you are making a huge mistake!

On a side note, I don't know what is up with Disney. The Pete's Dragon movie is excellent, has a lot of fans, and has great music, but they won't do it justice! For a while there was no Pete's Dragon soundtrack, and now that there finally is, they cut the songs short (mostly the ones with large orchestral sections), they put the songs in no particular order, there are no bonus tracks, they don't include the song that ends the movie, and they totally overprice the whole thing.

Overall, this album is worth the money if you pay about 10 dollars, otherwise it is totally not worth it. I am still hoping that Disney will open their eyes and give fans what they want; a fairly priced album with ALL the songs in ALL their glory, from the beginning to the end of the movie with a bonus track or two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack for a great film., February 3, 2007

Animationfan "superdvdfan!" (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pete's Dragon (Audio CD)

Pete's Dragon has a truly wondeful soundtrack, it's one of those that is very cleverly written, with wondefully creative musical themes, which unfortunately doesn't always get the celebration it deserves.

Now Disney have provided all the songs from opening score from the film. The tone of the music, has a calm feeling to it, even though there are upbeat numbers they are not 'razzle dazzle' and stay close to the almost sombre feeling of the film.

One reason why I did not give this 5 stars is because the songs are not identical to the versions in the film, the running times for the songs on the CD are in most cases shorter than you'll find on the DVD, with mostly the instrumental parts of the songs being omitted, although there is some difference in lyrics for a couple of tunes.

But all in all Pete's Dragon is a stunning soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable music, from Disney's best performers, February 4, 2007

This review is from: Pete's Dragon (Audio CD)

I have loved this movie musical since childhood. The music is unbeatable, with charming, catchy, upbeat lyrics - and the moving "candle on the water", sung by Helen Reddy. Very frustrated to discover only 5 of the original song lyrics are published on the Web, and not all of them. Either way, this musical was one of Disney's greatest. Kids of all ages will fall in love with Elliott-the dragon, and the magical special effects that bring him to life on the screen.

Fans will greatly enjoy the fine vocal quality of legendary Mickey Rooney, Red Buttons & Jim Dale in their masterful comical performances of 'I saw a dragon' 'Passamaquoddy' and 'Every little piece'.

I used to own the original vinyl of this album [long since gone], and the CD quality I owned was of equal value. This film is a long, lost, fine Disney classic. I recommend it for anyone.
