Title: Great CD based on original movie premise
Review: This CD is great, the Sting songs are, as to be expected, wonderful, especially the ones he sings. It is unfortunate though that this CD has very little in common with the movie as it was released. The movie was originally intended to be a serious drama, based on the "Prince and the Pauper" storyline, but it apparently didn't work, so Disney rushed to change it into a buddy-comedy. I guess the timeline to get the revised movie into theaters didn't allow for them to make significant changes to the soundtrack, because songs that support the original story (Disney was to call the movie "Empire of the Sun") still appear on the soundtrack, even though they have absolutely nothing to do with the movie as released.All that having been said, this is a truly enjoyable soundtrack/score combination.
Is the review positive or negative?
