Memo to Disney-put out REAL soundtrack & leave garbage on Disneymania CDs I hate it when instead of putting out a real soundtrack to a movie, they put out a bunch of crap and call it "songs inspired by" the movie. This is not a true soundtrack to the "Tinker Bell" DVD. Only 4 of the tracks actually appear in the movie. I only bought the 3 tracks worth having: the two parts of "To the Fairies They Draw Near" by the wonderful Loreena McKennitt, and the "End Credit Score Suite" by composer Joel McNeely, which SHOULD have comprised an entire CD of separate tracks, because it's lovely music that really fits the story well. The other track that was actually in the movie was "Fly to Your Heart" by Selena Gomez, an abysmally wretched listening experience typical of the prepubescent caterwauling that Disney likes to trot out on the Disneymania CDs. I don't know how bad the non-movie songs are, but since the truly awful Katharine McPhee is one of the "singers" listed, I can only imagine that they are even worse than "Fly to Your Heart." I'm not interested enough to find out. Disney should have released the actual soundtrack to the movie, not this collection of songs, most of which have no real connection to the movie. Great for kids, and maybe adults as well I was stunned while watching this movie to hear Loreena McKennitt, and immediately ordered the CD soundtrack on that basis alone. It contains the 51-second intro song, as well as McKennitt's full version-- an unexpected treat on an album like this. However, if you're looking for more of those beautiful Celtic-inspired songs on this CD, you'll be disappointed. The rest of the songs are very light pop tunes reminiscent of the pop tracks on the Barbie soundtrack CDs-- I happen to like this genre, but I know many adults may not care for it. Of course all of the songs are suitable for children, and are easy on the ears. The only score music is the last track, which is quite lovely, but I wish there had been more of it. Overall this is an excellent purchase for kids. Adults will want to preview the sample MP3s first if they are considering this for themselves. As for me, this was a pleasant surprise, and I'll be looking out for more CDs like this from Disney. this gets a 5 star review for 2 wonderful songs! Fly with me and Shine are 2 of the best songs I have ever heard the lyrics are beautiful about our planet and nature and the singing and music is amazing, this cd is a must have for those songs or just download those 2 , they are brilliant masterpieces.
