Disneymania 4
Dipping into the latest installment ofDisneymaniais like hitting the local cineplex to watch a new Pixar flick: by reputation alone, you know your 10 bucks is being well spent. Production quality is only half of it: matching the character or, in this case, the classic Disney song to the unmistakable celebrity voice behind it also can be a real kick (just ask anybody who watched Wanda Sykes play a skunk inOver the Hedge). Which is why the latest disc in this unapologetically spunky series is worth shelling out for. If3served up a buffet of pop's bright young things,4hauls out a smorgasbord: Christina Aguilera, Teddy Geiger, Jesse McCartney, and Jonas Brothers all line up with their mouse ears in place, delivering renditions that would do Walt Disney himself proud. As is so often the case in theManiaseries, though, it's the lesser stars that twinkle brightest. Here, Sara Paxton's big-hearted "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" clobbers the songs around it with raw emotion, and the relatively unknown B5 slay the Big Bad Wolf with some of the catchiest hip-hop to spin off a Disney disc ever.--Tammy La Gorce
