Music of Disney: Legacy in Song
This is the most comprehensive of Disney collections, though theClassic Disney seriesis more up to date. Spread across three discs, the set features hits and forgotten favorites from movies, TV, and the parks (although more thorough work remains to be done in the last regard). Since the Disney catalog is in a state of constant change, this is the only place to get some songs that aren't currently available; these days it's a rare treat to hear "Cruella De Vil" from101 Dalmations, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," fromSong of the South, and Annette's theme fromThe Monkey's Uncle. A thick CD booklet is included, putting the songs in the context of Walt Disney's long, astounding career.--John Sanchez
