Disney's Hercules: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack Small cut in UPC.	The Emperor's New Groove Originally developed as an epic called Kingdom of the Sun, The Emperor's New Groove lost scale and most of Sting's song score (some of which can be heard on the soundtrack) on its way to the screen. The end result is the lightest Disney film in many a moon, a joyous romp akin to ...	Tarzan If anyone belongs in the "Whatever Happened To?" category of a game show, it's Phil Collins.

Toy Story: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack When Disney and Pixar were producing their computer-animation breakthrough Toy Story, a project whose R&D costs alone demanded a blockbuster payoff, the conventional wisdom would have been to turn the music-scoring chores over to the stable of writers who'd made the likes of The ...	Bambi Though known for his utopian idealism, Walt Disney's vision had a dark side that frequently evinced itself in the animated features that made his legend.

Great CD based on original movie premise
This CD is great, the Sting songs are, as to be expected, wonderful, especially the ones he sings. It is unfortunate though that this CD has very little in common with the movie as it was released. The movie was originally intended to be a serious drama, based on the "Prince and the Pauper" storyline, but it apparently didn't work, so Disney rushed to change it into a buddy-comedy. I guess the timeline to get the revised movie into theaters didn't allow for them to make significant changes to the soundtrack, because songs that support the original story (Disney was to call the movie "Empire of the Sun") still appear on the soundtrack, even though they have absolutely nothing to do with the movie as released.All that having been said, this is a truly enjoyable soundtrack/score combination.

Crystal clear scores, excellent songs, but a bit lacking...
Looking back on my first review, I would like to make some modifications and change my ratings.While the songs are excellent and the scores are good, the scores lack some of the scenes and cues from the movie itself which I desired to listen to; particulary the opening sequence. Otherwise, the Sting songs; in fact all of the songs (save the annoying "Lamma Lamma") are great and the score is mostly lively, yet still somewhat lacking.In short, the New Groove soundtrack is good, but there are definately better pieces with the advent of the Atlantis and Shrek scores, both of which are avaliable at Amazon.

It had to be Disney
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting anything good aboutEmperor's New Groove. Then I got the Cd and realized that Sting wrotegreat songs for the film. I like the sound of all the songs. There ismore, I just got the spanish version of the soundtrack and it is greattoo, the Walk the llama llama song is even better in this CD, it evenhas some extra lyrics that the english version doesn'tinclude. .... The title in spanish is even better "Las Locurasdel Emperador" which means something like "The Emperor'sFrolics"

Emperor needs a new groove
All I have to say is - why? Why did Disney feel the need to release a soundtrack to a film with only 2 songs in it? I got it! To cash in on the dupes like me who buy all the soundtracks! I guess it wouldn't be a big deal having songs written for but not included in the film - if the songs were any good. It's clear that Disney was trying to do something very diferent with this film's songs and I applaud the effort as it's desprately needed. But none of these songs come close to catching that Disney Magic. The rest of the CD contains the films score which is good enough to warrant a single listen. The real stand out is Run Llama Run. I'm sure this will become a staple in the Disney parades.As is becoming a Disney tradition the best song on the CD does not appear in the film. One Day She'll Love Me by Sting and Shawn Colvin is a great song and amazing for the fact that it's completely unilke any Disney song to date. There is sutlety and nuance that is typical of a Sting recording. Truly beautiful. I'm sure it would do very well as a single. Bottom line: Don't buy this CD unless you're a Disney freak like me. The two songs Run Llama Run and One Day She'll Love Me are great but not for the price. Definitely see the film though. It's a laugh riot!

Groovy!
This album truly displays Sting's strengths, and I appreciate the fact that all the songs from the former version of the movie "Kingdom of the Sun" are included. Kingdom of the Sun was the first version of the movie which Sting wrote five songs to. Disney revamped the entire film, scratching the five songs, and making it into a buddy comedy. Its good to see that Disney is proud of Sting's work to include songs not in the final version of the film..
