Notes & Personnel Info |  | Disneymania, Vol. 3 collects even more covers of classic Disney tunes by the studio's roster of teen pop performers and other kid-friendly artists. As with all the Disneymania comps, the quality of the performances is all over the place, ranging from highlights like Bowling for Soup's cheeky, punky take on The Jungle Book's "Bare Necessities" to missteps like Jesse McCartney's whiny version of "When You Wish Upon a Star." The collection is pretty evenly divided between faithful and more creative renditions of Disney classics, and there's something to be said for both approaches: Skye Sweetnam has fun with her Avril Lavigne-esque cover of The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World," while former American Idol contestants Clay Aiken and Kimberley Locke contribute sweetly traditional versions of Aladdin's "Proud of Your Boy" and Cinderella's "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," respectively. Tracks by Aly & A.J., Raven-Symon?, LaLaine, and Jump5 round out the album. Like the volumes that came before it, Disneymania, Vol. 3 isn't perfect, but fans of Disney's current pop stars should find at least a few enjoyable moments here. ~ Heather Phares | | Since the company's earliest days in the 1930s, Disney's animated movies have been a treasure trove for pop-music confectionery. The third installment of the DISNEYMANIA series reaffirms this tradition, as 15 of 2005's leading pop lights offer their own interpretations of the songs initially performed by animals, princesses, mythological figures, and other assorted characters. While many of the tunes on DISNEYMANIA 3 are established classics ("Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" and "When You Wish Upon a Star"), a few artists look further into the Disney songbook to revive lesser-known gems. | | Raven-Symone opens the disc on a playful note, with a rousing rendition of "Under the Sea," followed by the teen group Jump5, who keep the festive feel afloat with "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from LILO & STITCH. Bowling for Soup, the lone non-teen rock act, offers an energetic take on THE JUNGLE BOOK's "The Bare Necessities," while newcomers Aly & A.J. add a bit of guitar-jangle to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah." Rising star Jesse McCartney closes the album on a fitting note, returning "When You Wish Upon a Star" to its simple lullaby roots. |
