Music : Anastasia: Music From The Motion Picture (1997 Version)

Rating: - Great soundtrack!
This is one of the best soundtracks that have ever been produced: each song is nice to listen to. I'm glad that there are three versions of the theme song "Journey to the Past" (the original by Liz Callaway, which is the best on this album, Aliyah's pop version, and Thalia's Latin salsa version) -- they're all great to listen to, although the best interpretation, done by Lea Salonga (voice of Jasmine and Mulan) in her Christmas concert abroad, can't be heard here.

See the movie and get this recording -- you'll enjoy Anastasia!

Rating: - Movie...great...Soundtrack...iMuy Bueno!
Sister 1: Without the songs, the movie wouldn't be worth watching. I think they are fun, well done, and great for all ages. The lyrics are great, they rhyme pretty well. I'm not obsessed, but buy this if you want some songs to sing along to and enjoy.

Sister 2: Sister 1 isn't really into these kinda songs. I made her rate it 5 stars, though, because this soundtrack is absolutely amazing!!!! When I was younger, I loved listening to these songs with all of the same voices for the animations singing the lyrics too. That's why I'm not fascinated by the celebrities singing what the animated voices should sing. But otherwise, the orchestra part is also astounding, with wonderful melodies and stupendous rhyming lyrics to sing along with and even, perhaps if you are bold, dance to it as well. I can't believe it!!!! I'm in love!!!!! I absolutely recommend this CD! If you buy it, which you must, you should pay attention to the fun songs, like the beautiful Journey to the Past, the colorful Paris Holds the Key, and the majestic Once Upon a December!

Rating: - Great CD

Rating: - The Best!
This is the best music I've ever heard, period. I loved all the songs and the scores. This is most definatley worth your money. The best song was Viaje Tiempo Atras (this is my personal opinion: I warn you that I am a HUGE Thalia fan). The Prologue was an excellent and moving piece as well. Normally I wouldn't buy soundtracks for animated movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid, but in this case I say go ahead and buy the CD! All the songs were excellent. Two thumbs WAY up, Steve Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens, & David Newman!!

By the way, does anyone know where one can obtain the soundtrack completely in Spanish?

Let me tell you, this is the most amazing, beautiful, moving music I have ever heard! The library must hate me, I keep the CD way overdue! I am saving up all of my money to buy it. It is completely worth it. And for you guys who couldn't stand VIAJE TIEMPO ATRAS...well, I can see why, but I am Hispanic, and you just don't know how cool it is to hear that song in Spanish. Plus, Thalia has a great voice.
