Disneymania 2 is the second Disneymania album. Much like its predecessor, Disneymania, Disneymania 2 was commercially successful, certified Gold in November, 2005. Disneymania 2 was more successful in that it peaked at #29 on the Billboard 200. Singles released from Disneymania 2 were "Circle of Life" by the Disney Channel Circle of Stars, and "Anytime You Need a Friend" by the Beu Sisters. Also, No Secrets made a video of "Once Upon (Another) Dream" that aired on the Disneymania 2 commercials, and was featured on the special edition DVD release of Sleeping Beauty.
Critical reception
Allmusic gave the album a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, writing "While many Disney classics were already given this treatment on the first Disneymania, this trip back to the well isn't entirely dry; for every uninspired cover like Jump5's "Welcome," there are fun reinterpretations like the Baha Men's "It's a Small World" and the Beu Sisters' "He's a Tramp." Not surprisingly, the oldest, best-known Disney songs hold up the best after their teen pop makeovers: even though it's saddled with an overwrought techno arrangement". The site concluded "While it's an uneven album and not as strong as its predecessor, Disneymania, Vol. 2 still has enough entertaining moments to make it worth a listen."[1]
