If
you want to turn your kids on to Elvis classics, Disney's Lilo
& Stitch will surely do the trick. This soundtrack from
the feature film features an eclectic mix of Elvis
classics (like Hound Dog and Stuck on You), redone
Elvis classics (Burning Love performed by Wynonna and Can't
Help Falling in Love by A*Teens), plus a handful of Hawaiian
originals.
The resulting mix is mostly fun, although a
little less Elvis and more original scores would have been
welcome. A couple of the tracks are surprisingly depressing for a
kids' recording, such as I'm
Lost. As well, the soundtrack is a little on the short side.
However, the wonderful introductory song, Hawaiian Roller
Coaster Ride, is a fun celebration of the movie, and He
Mele No Lilo (featuring a children's chorus) is rich and lush.
All in all, this CD makes a long-lasting
souvenir of the movie that both parents and kids will enjoy.
