Disney Sing-Along Songs: Fun with Music (1989 Video) User Reviews

The first Disney-Sing-Along video I ever watched...

[TheLittleSongbird · 8/10 · 21 December 2011]

I have loved Disney for as long as I can remember. These Disney-Sing-A-Long videos have been perfect for educating me and reliving all those great memories. While I do prefer Very Merry Christmas Songs, Zip a De Do Dah, Circle of Life and 12 Days of Christmas for examples in this series, I still hold affection for the first one I watched. My only complaints are some scrappy animation in some of the links especially before the Old MacDonald segment and Strolling Through the Park, it was beautifully animated and sweet, but I couldn't help thinking musically it was the dullest song of the lot. However the animation in the featured songs is wonderful, particularly in Golden Afternoon and Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing. Of the songs, my favourites are Why Should I Worry, Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing and Cruella DeVil, though Golden Afternoon, Good Company, With a Smile and a Song(I am probably one of the few people who likes Snow White's singing voice considering the times and how old she was meant to be) and Scales and Arpeggios I also enjoy. Oh and Ludwig Von Drake's song is hilarious. In fact, apart from having mixed feelings on one, I really like or love them all. Oh and it is not everyday you hear Blue Danube snorted. Overall, not the best of the Disney-Sing-Along line but very good all the same. 8/10 Bethany Cox

My absolute favourite collection of 'Sing-Along-Songs'

[Stompgal_87 · 10/10 · 23 September 2013]

I remember watching this collection of 'Sing-Along-Songs' shortly after seeing 'Oliver and Company' and I was surprised to see two songs from that film featured because I initially thought, "If this collection of songs came out in 1994, why are those from 'Oliver and Company's included if it didn't come out until around 1997?" But when I was a bit older, I found out that 'Oliver and Company' was originally released in 1988. While its American title is 'Fun With Music,' the UK title is '101 Notes of Fun' and replaces 'Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing' with 'Cruella De Vil,' although 'Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing' can be found on the UK release of 'Colours of the Wind.'

This volume has the catchiest collection of songs yet ranging from those from popular Disney films to lesser known traditional songs. My favourites are 'Why Should I Worry,' 'Good Company,' 'With a Smile and a Song,' 'Fun with Music,' 'All In the Golden Afternoon,' 'Green With Envy Blues,' 'Cruella De Vill,' 'Boo Boo Boo,' 'Scales and Arpeggios' and the 'Blue Danube Waltz' in the style of a pig. The in-between segments with the blue owl (can't remember his name) and Captain Von Drake are memorable as well.

Overall this is an irresistible collection of Disney songs despite its modifications for the UK market. 10/10.
