"Disney serves up a whole new batch of classic Disney cover songs by today's pop artists in Disneymania 5. Continuing the series' declining trend in quality since its stellar first release, the new collection is unquestionably the worst.
Fifteen tracks are assembled, a full third of them performed by members of the High School Musical cast. Though only one is truly terrible ("So This Is Love" by The Cheetah Girls, complete with a new Spanish verse) and the rest are listenable, not a single song stands out as memorable.
Still, one can divide the dull from the even duller. The Jonas Brothers' take on "I Wan'na Be Like You" is a rockin' one -- moreso than Smashmouth's -- and probably the most fun selection on the CD. Hayden Panettiere's rendition of "Cruella De Vil" represents what LaLaine's previous effort should have sounded like while Lucas Grabeel's "Go the Distance" is delivered with solid vocals and a decent arrangement. Drew Seeley's cover of Brad Paisley's "Find Yourself" is a surprisingly recent selection, coming from last year's Pixar blockbuster, Cars. It's poignant here, but less so than the original.
Finally, the Go-Go's (yes, the '80s girl group) make a surprising appearance with an edgier and somewhat enjoyable twist on "Let's Get Together". Far from the innovative "reimagining" of music that it was intended to be, Disneymania has devolved into a bland emulation of classic music. Every track on this release sounds all too similar either to an original song or a previous Disneymania recording. Those who have purchased and enjoyed all the previous releases will likely be disappointed but still happier with the disc in their collection than without. With a less than stellar roster of talent and fifteen weak tracks, though, Disneymania 5 is an exercise in mediocrity and fails to earn a recommendation."
