Babes in Toyland (soundtrack)

Walt Disney's Babes In Toyland (Disneyland Records DQ-1219) was the original record album for the 1961 film adaptation. It is a cover version rather than an authentic soundtrack album. The parts sung by many of the actors such as Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands in the film are replaced by uncredited singers for this album. However, Ann Jillian, from the film's cast, is featured on Never Mind, Bo Peep, and Ed Wynn, also from the film, is featured on the Workshop Song. Ray Bolger as Barnaby in We Won't Be Happy Till We Get It and Castle in Spain is replaced by the instantly recognizable Thurl Ravenscroft. A single with Annette's songs was also available.

An album featuring the authentic soundtrack performances of the film's cast was also released in 1961. (Buena Vista Records, STER-4022) Zorro's Henry Calvin also sings some of the songs in this album apparently.
