"Disney's Greatest Vol. 2" (02/27/2001) Children's Disney, Walt Disney RecordsIncludes liner notes by Leonard Maltin. This is part of Walt Disney Records "DISNEY'S GREATEST" series. Whether you're a baby boomer who grew up watching such classic Disney films as MARY POPPINS and THE JUNGLE BOOK, or a parent whose kids have developed an unnatural attachment to the likes of MULAN or THE LITTLE MERMAID, you'll find something to enjoy in DISNEY'S GREATEST VOL 2. This compilation of well-known songs from Disney films stretches all the way from 1937 (SNOW WHITE's "Someday My Prince Will Come") right up to the present. On one hand, this disc offers an interesting thumbnail sketch of how movie soundtracks (and pop music) have changed throughout the 20th century. On the other hand, it's simply a solid collection of familiar tunes, from the haunting, Dick Van Dyke-sung "Chim Chim Cher-ee" to the Phil Collins pop ballad "You'll Be in My Heart" (from 1999's TARZAN).

"Disney Mania Vol. 1: Pop" (09/17/2002) Children's Various Artists, Walt Disney RecordsTaking a page from the Hal Willner-produced 1988 collection STAY AWAKE, the folks at the House Of Mouse enlisted 2002's bubble-gum brigade to achieve the same goals with DISNEYMANIA. Some of pop's biggest names have been handed over music from numerous Disney flicks (with most of the emphasis being on '80s and '90s fare), and then asked to give them totally new makeovers. Thus you have Smashmouth infusing a light trip-hop beat, turntable scratches, and surf guitar into "I Wanna Be Like You," Baha Men laying on a dash of steel drums to a bouncy "Hakuna Matata," and No Secrets frolicking amidst the beeping electronics of "Kiss The Girl." Other highlights include Anastacia making over the normally saccharine "Some Day My Prince Will Come" with keyboard washes and a soulful delivery, A*Teens pumping in beats and toasting into "Under The Sea," and *Nsync putting an a cappella stamp onto "When You Wish Upon A Star." Not surprisingly, The Lion King soundtrack gets plundered the most as Aaron Carter puts a "Footloose"-like spin on "I Just Can't Wait To Be King," S Club delivers an understated "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," and Ronan Keating does likewise with a measured "Circle Of Life."

"Radio Disney Jams Vol. 5" (09/10/2002) Children's Disney, Walt Disney RecordsThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. In a quest for the sounds of the pre-teen set, look no further than the House Of Mouse. RADIO DISNEY JAMS VOL.5 once again breaks off a big chunk of playlist from its corporate parent's radio network and puts it into a neat package. Starting with the two biggest boy bands on Earth, the Backstreet Boys ("What Makes You Different [Makes You Beautiful]") and N Sync ("Pop [Deep Dish Cha-Ching Remix]"), most of this world gets represented in the shape of groups rather than individual performers. Aaron Carter is one of the few solo artists on this disc but with help from older brother/Backstreet Boy Nick and No Secrets on "Oh Aaron," this very well could be labeled a group effort. Other artists making the scene include Bahamian natives The Baha Men checking in with "Move It Like This," sole rock act Three Doors Down representing with their smash "Kryptonite," and mini-divettes 3LW rockin' the mike on "Playas Gon' Play." Cover songs are an equally significant part of this collection and include Jump 5 making like Lee Greenwood ("God Bless The USA"), No Secrets revisiting '80s icon Kim Wilde ("Kids In America"), and A*Teens giving it up for Elvis ("Can't Help Falling In Love").

"Radio Disney Jams Vol. 7" (03/22/2005) Children's Disney, Walt Disney RecordsRecording information: 1999 - 2004. As the RADIO DISNEY JAMS compilation series has progressed, it has increasingly featured young actors who moonlight as pop performers. This seventh installment of RADIO DISNEY JAMS includes tracks by teen-queen rivals Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, along with Jesse McCartney and Raven Symone, all of whom balance acting with solo musical careers. While both Duff and Lohan run through anthemic pop-rock tunes on their respective tracks, McCartney offers up a light pop tune and Raven Symone contributes a hip-hop-tinged R&B song. Other tracks on RADIO DISNEY JAMS VOL. 7 keep the tone fun and energetic, particularly Bowling for Soup's "Punk Rock 101" and Smash Mouth's "Come On, Come On." Fans of the KIM POSSIBLE animated show will enjoy Ron Stoppable and Rufus's "The Naked Mole Rap," and those purchasing the edition with a bonus DVD will be treated to the song's video, along with four other videos.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. In what has become a yearly ritual almost as unfailing as Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Halloween, Disney reliably releases RADIO DISNEY JAMS, its State of the Union overview of the teen pop anointed. This being the 2003 batch, it's inevitable that Volume 6 kicks off with the unstoppable Hilary Duff, whose vocals on "I Can't Wait," from her LIZZIE MCGUIRE movie, are charming in their gawky-yet-persistent, McGuire-like way. From the same movie, Jump 5 weigh in with their disco-inflected "All That I Can Do," while S Club 7's perky "Don't Stop "Movin'" is a worthy successor to their "Everybody Wants Ya" hit. In its summation of all that's current in the world of pre-teen pop, RADIO DISNEY JAMS 6 is everything a kid could wish for in a perennial pop compilation.

"Disney Mania 2" (01/27/2004) Children's Various Artists, Walt Disney RecordsThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Like the first DISNEY MANIA, this second volume features a collection of mostly teenage pop stars singing songs made famous in Disney movies. Production-wise, most tracks differ little from these artists' regular material, so the combination of super-slick sounds and proven hit songs should please any fan of the genre. Notable deviations from the norm include a rollicking, Caribbean party-perfect version of "It's a Small World" by the Baha Men and a suitably quirky, vintage synthesizer-driven take on "Baroque Hoedown" (from ELECTRICAL PARADE) by They Might Be Giants, which echoes Moog-laden soundtracks of 1970s cinema. With a boatload of can't-miss songs performed by the best squeaky-clean young pop idols America has to offer, DISNEY MANIA 2 is one of those rare albums that should appeal to kids of all ages.
