The Lion King: Original Soundtrack - Special Edition

Customer reviews:

Truly the best Disney soundtrack ever! , 2006-05-06
This is certainly the most amazing soundtrack that Disney has produced, proven by the fact that it has won awards for its brilliance. The music is absolutely mind-blowing, and there is something there to touch every emotion, from the dramatic "Circle of Life," to the beautiful heart-wrenching "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," the fun, bouncy "I Just Can't Wait to be King" and "Hakuna Matata," and of course there's no forgetting the dark "Be Prepared." There is, of course, the wacky "Morning Report" which, despite being very good in its own right, does not match up to the others, it being an additional song for the Special Addition. Of course, it is not only the Elton John/Tim Rice songs which make up the brilliance of this soundtrack. Hans Zimmer's scores, mixed with the amazing essences of African music, really bring the CD together! The hit songs at the end are also brilliant, especially the newly added "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" re-mix! Altogether, this is one heck of a soundtrack, and it is no wonder that it won the awards that it did! This may not have as many tracks as some other Disney soundtracks, but the quality of the music on this will make you listen to it over and over again!

I would say this is GRRREAT!, 2004-05-24
This is a puurrrfect cd for all the family. It has all the original songs, including one which wasnt put into the film called "The Morning Report". My favourite one is be prepared, as it has that dark tinge to it.
It also includes the songs "Can u feel the love tonight?" and the "Circle of Life " by elton john.
It also comes with a funky cover which has a changing picture depending on where you look at it!

This CD is a must have for any disney or lion king fan!
