Disney's Greatest 3
Cynical types will accuse Disney of milking the "greatest" concept until  it's drier than Tinkerbell's fairy dust ("Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious," "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da," and "Heigh Ho" were hits off ofVol. 1; "Bare Necessities," "It's a Small World," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" stole the show onVol. 2), but a  glimpse of this installment's track listing is all it'll take to squash their suspicions. Once again running reverse-chronologically, Vol. 3 opens withJonatha Brooke's gorgeously achy ballad "I'll Try," from 2002's arguably not-so-greatReturn to Neverland, and gradually reaches back through the years to re-raise the curtain onToy Story 2("When She Loved Me," performed bySarah McLachlan),The Lion King("Can You Feel the Love Tonight"),Mary Poppins(Julie Andrews's classic "A Spoonful of Sugar"),Pinocchio("Give a Little Whistle"), and a bundle of treasured others, bottoming out at 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" fromThe Three Little Pigs. Vol. 3 is not without its weak moments--would a G-rated movie-goers' poll produceBeauty and the Beast's "Gaston" orThe Hunchback of Notre Dame's "Topsy Turvy" on a hits list? Seems unlikely. Still, the bulk of these tracks are, as the includedLittle Mermaidsong goes, "Part of Your World," and the spread of decades they represent proves their staying power. Don't expect Disney to latch the lid on its inexhaustible archives until a dozen or so of these records, each as strong as the next, beckon you back for more.--Tammy La Gorce
