In 2003 Disney decided that the Princess Franchise needed some more media. In the following years Disney began to release the Disney Princess Stories, Disney Princess Party, and Disney Princess Sing-Along-Songs DVD's. Along with these new DVD's, Disney created a princess "theme song", 'If You can Dream'. Around that same time, Disney Consumer products contracted Marty Panzer and Don Grady to write and produce a new album, featuring all-new songs for the classic Princesses. In 2005, the Disney Princess Tea Party Album was released. That sold so well that Disney decided to have Don Grady and Marty Panzer produce the Disney Princess Christmas Album. That album was released in November 2006, to coincide with the DVD release of Disney Princess: A Christmas of Enchantment. At that time the duo were already at work creating music for the Disney Princess Birthday Party Album In early 2007 the voices were recoded and the CD was scheduled to be released sometime that year.
Fast forward two years later, and the CD is finally being released, with a new title (they dropped the word 'birthday') and it's not being sold everywhere like the two previous CD's were. It also seems like more tracks were written for the CD but dropped from this release for some reason.
It's interesting that this CD was delayed two years (and seems to be incomplete), and the Enchanted Tales series of films seemed to have gone off the radar all at the same time. There has definitely been something odd occurring within Disney Consumer products regarding the Princess Franchise.
I had pre-ordered the CD last week, and according to the USPS tracking site it will be delivered today. I'll have a review up later and let you know if the voices are consistent with the last Princess CD release.
Special thanks to bruno_wbt for letting me know about the CD!!!!!!!!!
