Pros: Some good songs and special features
Cons: Connecting plot animation scenes are that interesting
The Bottom Line: Great sing along for Disney princess fans, but the connecting plot part is kind of weak. It does have good songs and some good special features, though.
kjscrafts's Full Review: Disney Princess Sing-Along Songs Volume 2: Enchant...
Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot.
The Enchanted Tea Party sing along is not all that well put together in my opinion, but I still think it will entertain little princesses at heart. The reason I do not think it is put together well is that the connecting plot between the songs is a little weaker than other Sing Along songs and it seems many songs are just straight from other Sing Along videos. The connecting plot is simply the Fairy Godmother setting out the snacks for a tea party with the Disney Princesses. The animation for these scenes is just the party table with the snack and the place card coming up and saying the movie the next song is from. I do like the aspect of the Fairy Godmother asking viewers to guess who the guest is based on the snack, but other than that the interconnecting plot is kind of blah. It would be much better even if they just actually showed the Fairy Godmother character actively setting the table, but in actuality she is never on screen.
All of the songs except one are from different Disney movies with princesses. In order they are "So This is Love" (Cinderella), "Kiss the Girl" (Little Mermaid), "Forget About Love" (Aladdin: The Return of Jafar), "Something There" (Beauty and the Beast), "Just Around the Riverbend" (Pocohantas), "Some Day My Prince Will Come" (Snow White), "I Wonder" (Sleeping Beauty), "Honor To Us All" (Mulan), "Love" (Robin Hood), "In a World of My Own" (Alice in Wonderland), and "For a Moment" (Little Mermaid II). The final song is called "Where Dreams Begin" and this one is a new song for this release. This is a good song and the setting it to a variety of scenes from the different princess movies is well done.
This DVD has a few special features. This includes Karaoke, Random Play Songs, "Where Dreams Begin Dance Along" (this is interesting, but the tutorial seems a little fast in my opinion), and Princess Tea Time game. In the game a different princess is visiting each day of the week and you choose the perfect napkin, tea cup, and a dessert for the particular princess visiting. This is actually a pretty decent DVD game.
Overall this is an okay release. I was disappointed in the connecting plot, but I guess a lot of the animated ones are not that detailed and hence why I prefer the live action plot connecting ones. The Sing Along can still be a lot of fun for Disney Princess fans. The Dance Along and DVD game are both pretty good special features.
