5.0 out of 5 stars The First DISNEY PRINCESS Sing Along Songs, August 10, 2005

By	Lee Neville "Lee" (London, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disney Princess Sing Along Songs, Vol. 1 - Once Upon A Dream (DVD)

Disney's Sing Along Songs were originally released on VHS Video throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years all new Disney's Sing Along Songs have been released on DVD featuring better quality picture and sound, featuring some previously released and unreleased songs.

Now it's time for the new Disney Princess Sing Along Songs starting here with Once Upon A Dream...

On this DVD you will find the following previously released (on VHS or DVD) songs:
A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes ("Cinderella") - now featuring the full version.
Part Of Your World ("The Little Mermaid")
A Whole New World ("Aladdin")
Once Upon A Dream ("Sleeping Beauty")
Colors Of The Wind ("Pocahontas")
Beauty & The Beast ("Beauty & The Beast")

The songs new to Disney Sing Along Songs are:
I'm Wishing/One Song ("Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs")
Reflection ("Mulan")
Like Other Girls ("Mulan II")
Sweet Wings Of Love ("Mickey, Donald & Goofy in The Three Musketeers")

The newest highlight though is "If You Can Dream" performed by the Disney Princesses. Apart from Cinderella and Snow White, the vocals are done by the original voices- a truly magical delight.

Special features include dance alongs and Karaoke for those budding singers out there. An interesting thing to note here is that the original music is used in the Karaoke versions, unlike on most Disney Karaoke CDs and cassettes, so kids get to sing to the real music.

In summary, this is a really nice selection of Disney songs. Granted some have been previously released in different Disney's Sing Along Songs incarnations, but now you get to have them all in one place in the best quality. And now with the all-new Karaoke extra, you don't just get to sing along, you get to be a real singer.

Perfect for the Princess in your family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Sing Along, September 28, 2004

By	D. Fuentecilla "lunataina" (Miami, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Disney Princess Sing Along Songs, Vol. 1 - Once Upon A Dream (DVD)

I bought this DVD because my daughter loves to sing, and she loves Disney songs. I did not pay much attention to the narrator, because to tell you the truth I had absolutely no interest in what the narrator had to say. My daughter and I just listened to the songs and she sang while she was able to see the nice original footage from the films. We didn't expect it to be more than that, and so we were not dissapointed. If you have a child who likes to sing Disney movie songs, I recommend this. If your child likes the movies but is not particularly fond of singing the songs, skip this selection. As a sing-along video, it's pretty good. My daughter really likes it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming for Little Princesses (annoying for Moms), October 12, 2004

By	D. L. York (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Disney Princess Sing Along Songs, Vol. 1 - Once Upon A Dream (DVD)

I bought this for my 3 year old who wasn't a Princess fan but now is thanks to this DVD. For the younger Princess fans, I think this Sing Along a gem. Older fans however might find it a little cheesy in it's presentation. I find the narrator totally grating and unnecesary, however that is ME, my 3 year old doesn't notice at all. The problem I have really though is with the content, it starts off strong, but loses steam halfway through.
Put it Together (Cinderella 2) doesn't fit the classic formula.
Megara's song (from Hercules)is awful and her character is really obscure compared to the rest. The song bores my daughter.
Like Other Girls (a gawdawful tuneless mess that makes me NOT want to see Mulan 2) and Sweet Wings of Love (Three Musketeers, a summer 2004 release) hit you over the head as a marketing ploy (although if the person this is for is a fan of those,it's rather a bonus)
The new princess song, If You Can Dream thrills with sweetly catchy music and lovely harmony. It's really nice to know they got as many original voices as possible, and a welcome treat. However the lyrics utilize as many cliches from previous princess songs as much as they can, robbing the song of some of it's charm. Plus there is no new animation to go with the new song (probably a good thing).
The reworking of Beauty and the Beast and Once Upon a Dream for the Dance Alongs are criminal! It's offensive that they keep updating classic gorgeous songs in this way. The kids are just everyday kids, and that is part of their appeal (hey, it works for the Wiggles)
Overall, you get what you pay for on this. If you child is a fan of this genre, she (or he) will be very happy and your DVD or Video will earn it's purchase price. As an adult, you might feel it's a bit of a cop out, heavy on the cheese to cover some poorly chosen content. But for the happiness it brought my princess, it was worth every penny!
