Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    These songs may yearn for romance, adventure, or new horizons, but in a way that generally is age-appropriate and non-threatening.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Sex is not an issue; everything stays very, very benign (think "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," "Kiss The Girl," and "You'll Be In My Heart").

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    It's hard to ignore that all of the songs are from Disney movies (or Disney theme parks), but their updated arrangements make them sound new and offer a different context.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Disneymania

Parents need to know that these all-ages CDs take hit musical artists (Demi Lovato, Aly and AJ) and have them sing songs from Disney movies ("Cruella De Vil") or Disney theme parks ("It's a Small World After All").

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the Disney empire. Why do you think that anything that Disney puts out becomes a hit? Is it the talent, the marketing push, or both? Families can also discuss whether their kids prefer these modern versions of the songs, or the originals -- and why.
