 Great music...but save a bundle with the 5-disc set! Aug 21, 2002
This CD is great. It has both old and new Disney classics. But...for a little more money you can get all these songs and about 80 more. The 5 disc set sold here at Amazon has 99 Disney classics and sells for about the price of 2 CDs. The 5 disc set includes songs such as Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah from the no-longer released Song of the South, songs from the theme parks like the Electric Light Parade theme, It's a Small World from the NY World's Fair...it has them all! Buying the CDs seperately you probably spend twice as much + shipping; save some money--the 5-CD set is the way to go.

 Some gems, some duds Dec 01, 2003
By Susan Price
"qotu"
The previous two volumes of this series, chosen by Leonard Maltin and graced by his excellent liner notes, were enough draw to make me buy this one "for my son." Unfortunately, Maltin wasn't involved in this one, and it shows.I am glad I have it - if only to keep from buying the full soundtracks of all these movies just to get a clean copy of Pat Carroll singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls" (Little Mermaid) or "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" (Aristocats) or Elfman's fabulous "What's This?" (Nightmare Before Christmas). I suspect most folks will do what I did, and buy the CD because a few of the tunes still resonate - and there's plenty of power here for that. The "Siamese Cat Song" certainly isn't great art, but it transports me back to child state - where I feel I'm listening to my scratchy old 45 - quicker than you can say "Fess Parker." I appreciate that the compiler - Ted Kryczko - stuck with Maltin's winning formula of old and new. But his sense of drama and pacing aren't the best. Yes, the Jonatha Brooke and Sarah MacLachlan cuts - featured one and two on the set - are pretty and sweet. I'm sure it's frustrating that these great cuts didn't get heard enough, because the movies were weak. You still don't start with them. Lead with your strengths. Oh yes, the 6-year-old does appreciate it, but prefers volumes 1 and 2. (Nearly forgot my cover, there.)

Not my favorite of Disney's greatest... Aug 26, 2005
By I. Shiraishi
"German Ladybug"
Ok OK I know its Disney and allthough I praised the first two Disneys Greatest I didn't like this Cd as much. It seems that they have taken all the leftover Disney songs and put them on this CD. My daughter loves this CD no matter what and I guess if it makes her happy so am I.
In all I found only 5 songs worthy to be on Disney's greatest CD while the others are b- class.
I am sure that hard core Disney collectors don't want this CD missing from their collection but I recommend to rent the CD first to see if its worth your money.

Wonderful May 03, 2010
By Kurt A. Johnson
This excellent CD contains twenty great Disney tunes. The tunes are from all sorts of sources - mostly movies, but even the old good-bye tune from the Mickey Mouse Club. My little one loves listening to this CD in the car, and I don't blame her.
Right, you can't please all of the people all of the time, but I am well pleased. I liked hearing again Jesse's sad song from Pixar's Toy Story 2, Jack's What's This? from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Siamese Cat Song from The Lady and the Tramp. I really enjoy this CD, and what is more important, my daughter loves it, which is good enough for me. We both recommend this wonderful CD.

more adult Aug 13, 2008
By T. L. Armitage
"tladelamer"
The songs on this cd are a bit more "adult" than on the others. I really enjoy, but the kids don't really ask for this one.
