Disneymania 2 is the second installment in the Disneymania album series. The album features classic songs primarily from Disney films performed by various contemporary musical artists. Much like its predecessor, Disneymania, Disneymania 2 was commercially successful, peaking at number 29 on the Billboard 200 and being certified certified Gold in November 2005.
Background
[edit]To promote the compilation, a promotional video of "True To Your Heart" performed by Raven-Symoné was produced. A number of songs on the album were previously released to promote DVD re-releases of Disney films and had music videos produced. These songs include "Circle of Life" by Disney Channel Circle of Stars, "Anytime You Need a Friend" by The Beu Sisters, "Once Upon (Another) Dream" by No Secrets, and "I Wan'na Be Like You" by Nikki Webster.
Critical reception
[edit]Allmusic gave the album a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, writing "While many Disney classics were already given this treatment on the first Disneymania, this trip back to the well isn't entirely dry; for every uninspired cover like Jump5's "Welcome," there are fun reinterpretations like the Baha Men's "It's a Small World" and the Beu Sisters' "He's a Tramp." Not surprisingly, the oldest, best-known Disney songs hold up the best after their teen pop makeovers: even though it's saddled with an overwrought techno arrangement". The site concluded "While it's an uneven album and not as strong as its predecessor, Disneymania, Vol. 2 still has enough entertaining moments to make it worth a listen."[1]
