Next, Princess Jasmine makes an appearance. Ariel "don't say a word" in The Little Mermaid's charming "Kiss the Girl" which harks back to '50s doo-wop with a twist provided by Sebastian's accented crooning. It then moves to the princess most currently on Disney's mind, Cinderella, and her slow nighttime waltz "So This is Love."įour Eisner era heroines follow. In the fashion of the DVD era Sing Alongs, the disc opens with the Sing Along theme tune performed by Sebastian, the Caribbean crustacean from The Little Mermaid. Accompanying parents can take the opportunity to explain to their offspring, and an included bonus feature may also serve to elucidate. The target audience may not necessarily understand or appreciate the aptness of the food choices, but older viewers will. There is an apple tart for Snow White, cornbread for Pocahontas, and so on. An individually-tailored snack is set out for each "princess", which adds some brief but fun "guesswork" as to what song will come next (assuming you're not viewing with the enclosed insert in hand). This motif is fairly consistent and quite clever. Serving as an introduction to each song, the unseen, elegant-sounding narrator (Sheryl Bernstein, returning from Volume One) reveals a personalized table setting for the various characters. As the title implies, that theme is an "Enchanted Tea Party." Segments between songs illustrate the preparation for this tea party, as a sunny garden locale awaits the princesses' arrivals. Most of its twelve numbers are familiar and winning enough, even if some are not intonated by the princesses themselves and some again reconfigure the definition of "Disney Princess" to include Alice (of Alice in Wonderland), Maid Marian ( Robin Hood), and Ariel's daughter Melody ( The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea) - a fact the studio appears to downplay by excluding the two non-princesses on the back cover's listing.Īs with Disney's past Sing Along Songs DVDs, this one runs with a theme with which to link all of the selected tunes. With Volume One's collection of songs having exhausted the most famous melodies performed by the princesses in Disney's animated canon, Volume Two stretches mildly to fill out a program. It follows the studio's time-tested formula of excerpting musical numbers from animated films and equipping them with animated lyrics. While its pink keepcase, zesty cover art, and release date tie it to its Disney Princess DVD kin, Sing-Along Songs: Volume 2 actually stays closer in format to the "Sing-Along Songs" part of its title. Originally announced for release last February, this second Princess Sing-Along Songs DVD was delayed more than half a year for what appears to be no other reason than to have a volume to accompany the TV cartoon-recycling Disney Princess Stories: Volume Three in stores. Among the sixth and seventh entries to the collection is Disney Princess Sing-Along Songs: Volume 2 - Enchanted Tea Party, a follow-up to the most enjoyable installment to date. The Disney Princess DVD line has survived to a third wave, with a pair of new discs being released exactly a year (to the week) after the series was launched last September.
