Cinderella III: A Twist in Time is the soundtrack to the 2007 animated musical fantasy film[1] of the same name released through Walt Disney Records on March 2, 2007. The album accompanied seven songs written by Michael Weiner and Alan Zachary, and performed by the cast members, along with two songs performed by Hayden Panettiere and Laura Dickinson. It also includes a theme song composed by Joel McNeely who underscored the film.

Background

Michael Weiner and Alan Zachary wrote original songs for A Twist in Time, having previously written the book, music and lyrics for Twice Charmed.[2][3] Composer Joel McNeely, who had worked on several Disney direct-to-video sequels, underscored the incidental music.[4][5] Cast as Cinderella's singing voice, Broadway performer Tami Tappan recorded several songs for the film.[6] Actress Hayden Panettiere recorded the film's theme song, "I Still Believe",[7][8][9] one of her earliest attempts to establish a music career.[10] Panettiere's music video was heavily rotated on Disney Channel at the time and was included as a bonus feature on the film's DVD.[8] A soundtrack released March 2, 2007, and featuring a cover by singer Laura Dickinson, is available for digital download on Apple Music.[11]

Reception

Film critic and historian Joe Leydon considered the soundtrack having "pleasant (albeit forgettable) original tunes".[12] BBC Online wrote "All the songs are good, but you can't beat the talking-singing-all-entertaining mice's numbers".[13] John Lasser of Blogcritics wrote "In true Disney fashion this movie is a musical, but the vast majority of the songs are uninspired, and definitely the weak spot in the production. They tend to be overly sappy, and seem to exist solely so that the film can be a musical, and not as an intrinsic part of the movie itself. The one bright spot in the songs is the number sung by Jaq and Gus, it is funny, charming, and just over the top enough to be a good time."[14] Ed Perkis of CinemaBlend called the songs "mediocre" but comparatively better to other direct-to-video Disney sequels.[8]
