Mulan: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack

Lea Salonga, best known as the voice of Jasmine in Aladdin, steals the show here as the title character in Disney's Mulan. The former star of Miss Saigon adds touching elements to the feature, especially on introspective numbers such as "Reflection." Unfortunately, the voice of Donny Osmond, relegated to anthems such as "I'll Make a Man Out of You" doesn't really enhance the story line, a saga set in ancient China. Jerry Goldsmith provides the Far East tinge to the score, almost reminiscent of early Les Baxter. While Mulan is a far cry from the memorable Beauty and the Beast, it is both funny and charming. --Jason Verlinde Amazon.com

Big kid

I lost mine and was glad to be able to find one. I play it for me and my son. Thank You. April 5, 2008

great buy

My daughter (17 years old) loves the music to this movie, and begged me to try and find the soundtrack. I generally come to Amazon for DVDs, CDs, and Books, I can generally be assured that I can find them here on Amazon.com. I have not personally listened to the CD, but my daughter has it loaded on her ipod, she seems happy with it... February 25, 2008

Excellent Soundtrack but . . .

The sound track is excellent. Lea Solanga is outstanding and the selection of music is great. I found only one possible flaw and that was in the order of the tracks. I think it would been a much better flow if A Girl Worth Fighting For was followed by The Burned Out Village. As it stands now the song ends abruptly. The next track is True to Your Heart. The Burned Out Village should have followed "Girl . . .". The two are connected in the film so I think it proper that they be linked on the soundtrack. I think this is a big enough problem that I decided to downgrade my rating. A little more care and thought into the ordering of the selections would have made for a better soundtrack CD.

a true Disney heroine

And Lea Salonga has an amazing voice! I won't repeat what others have already said here about the wonderful (if incomplete) score; what I have noticed, however- unless they have updated and re-released this album since I bought it- is that the track titled "Mulan's Decision" is NOT the same music used in the actual movie at the point where Mulan makes the decision to take her father's place. Disappointing, since that is one of the best scenes in the film. January 4, 2007

Best disney movie album!!

This is BY FAR the BEST disney movie soundtrack since...EVER! The Songs are GREAT, the voices singing them are EXCELLENT, and the score is INCREDIBLE! This is even BETTER than Titanic or the Lord of the Rings music! Believe me, if you buy this you will NOT be disappointed!!!

Peace out,

T-bone! December 13, 2006
