Disney Sing-Along-Songs: Colors of the Wind

Don't ask me to explain why, I just do. I enjoyed the Sing-Alongs when i was at the age they are geared for, heck, I still enjoy 'em. Some of my favorite Disney tunes are on those videos. But this one irked me. I think it was because some songs were extended further than their original version, and the exension really wasn't needed. Still, the series of videos are worth owning.

It isn't my favourite of the Disney Sing-Along-Songs series, but it is definitely worth watching. Pocahontas is a beautiful film, and underrated, it is not Disney's best, but watch it for the animation and music alone both are amazing! In this video, as well as the charming introduction with Professors Owl and Von Drake(the Einstein reference is hilarious) we are treated to not one but two songs from Pocahonatas, Just Around the Riverbend and Colours of the Wind(which happens to be my favourite Disney song). The other songs from The Lion King(Can You Feel the Love Tonight?), Sword and the Stone(Higgitus Figgitus) and Robin Hood(Ooh-dallally) to name a few are delightful, I personally liked the extended footage of all the other Disney films. I wasn't a huge fan of the arrangement though. The highlight other than Colours of the Wind was the charming song about the birds Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing. Still the animation, music and vocals are spotless, the video could have been two minutes longer perhaps but I liked it...a lot. 8/10 Bethany Cox

"colors of the wind" is the best carton movie that i ever watched,especially i like the song played in it which called colors of the wind.the song's lyric is:

Colors Of The Wind singer:Williams Vanessa

You think you own whatever land you land on The earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or let the eagle tell you there he's been Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

How high does the sycamore grow ? If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper-skinned We just sing with all the voices of the mountain Need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the earth and still All you'll own is earth until You can paint with all colors of the wind

These videos are not necessarily "bad", but my mentally challenged sister loved them and watched them continually. I can do that with Veggie Tales movies(I still do at age 20), but I just can't with these Sing-A-Longs.

Another reason I don't care for these is I don't get some of the song selections. How do they decide goes on what tape? Like this tape, for example-why is Colors of the Wind from Pocahantas with Why Should I Worry from Oliver and Company?

I know this is nick-picky, but some of the songs they choose I don't absolutely love-like Someone's Waiting For You from the Rescuers, which is in Under The Sea. Again, what does that have to do with water?

I also remember one video-The Bare Necessitates-having a song about evolution, and I didn't care for that-it once got stuck in my head for a whole day. Again, that's nick-picky.

Also, in this day and age, we can go on You Tube and look up such songs. I do enjoy Disney songs-my favorite is Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, my favorite Disney movie.

However, that brings another point-why should DISNEY choose the songs when we can choose them in other ways? Also, why not just watch the movies they are from, which are way better? I guess that goes against my Veggie Tales point, but still, I would rather see Pocahantas than sit through this!

If you REALLY want to see these videos, I suppose there is no real harm. I don't give all of these 1 star(I'd give Topsy Turvy a 10 if I had to choose one 10), but my rating refers to the fact that I have seen these way too many times.

I see these exact videos on You Tube and I am repelled by clicking on the video. I've seen them too many times, and I have never really loved these videos-at least, in the way my sister did.

Show them to your kids if you want, but expose them to the actual movies more. I may skip these if I have my own kids.

PS, I chose to review this video in particular to review the series since this is one of my least favorite videos.
