Review of Disney Sing-Along Songs: Under the Sea

Of the Disney Sing-along-songs series, Under the Sea is not one of the best for me. As wonderful as the song Under the Sea is, and how good the animation is, I didn't think the first verse repeat was necessary as such. Also Under the Sea has the same problem that some of the other videos in the series also suffer from, some of the links are flatly animated, especially at the start. However, the animation in the songs is absolutely beautiful, with Kiss the Girl, By the Beautiful Sea and Someone's Waiting For You faring best. I love all the songs, from the toe-tapping Under the sea to the poignant Someone's Waiting For You. Never Smile at a Crocodile is also very amusing, and A Whale of a Tale is lovely for anybody who is a fan of Disney's live action movies and 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. At the Codfish Ball and Sailing Sailing are entertaining songs in their own right, with an opportunity to revisit some childhood gems such as Merbabies. Under the Sea also has one of my favourite edits, alongside the link with Professor Owl and Panchita in Heigh Ho, with Professor Von Drake's(after A Whale of a Tale I believe) "I don't have a tatoooo!.... (cue the SPLAT") was I off key?" All in all, a lot of fun, if not quite the best. 8/10 Bethany Cox
