Recording information: 2005.Since the company`s earliest days in the 1930s, Disney`s animated movies have been a treasure trove for pop-music confectionery. The third installment of the DISNEYMANIA series reaffirms this tradition, as 15 of 2005`s leading pop lights offer their own interpretations of the songs initially performed by animals, princesses, mythological figures, and other assorted characters. While many of the tunes on DISNEYMANIA 3 are established classics (“Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” and “When You Wish Upon a Star”), a few artists look further into the Disney songbook to revive lesser-known gems.Raven-Symone opens the disc on a playful note, with a rousing rendition of “Under the Sea,” followed by the teen group Jump5, who keep the festive feel afloat with “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” from LILO & STITCH. Bowling for Soup, the lone non-teen rock act, offers an energetic take on THE JUNGLE BOOK`s “The Bare Necessities,” while newcomers Aly & A.J. add a bit of guitar-jangle to “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” Rising star Jesse McCartney closes the album on a fitting note, returning “When You Wish Upon a Star” to its simple lullaby roots.
