"We are thrilled to offer music from the most recognized children's brand featuring favorite characters such as Mickey, Jake and Rapunzel," said Greg Ahearn, chief marketing officer at LeapFrog. "Music continues to be an underserved subject area in schools despite the fact that it can benefit many areas of children's development. Our team of learning experts worked with Disney to select age-appropriate music content that will provide children with hours of fun on our best-selling learning platforms."


The albums will join the library of hundreds of educational games, eBooks, videos, music and more that have been reviewed and approved by LeapFrog's highly experienced team of learning experts to be part of the LeapFrog App Center.


"We are very excited to showcase some of our most popular characters and songs on LeapFrog's top-notch learning platforms," said Rob Souriall, vice president, marketing at Walt Disney Records. "Disney has been a pioneer in kids' music and LeapFrog is a pioneer in educational entertainment. Together we are able to offer millions of children the chance to experience the magic of Disney through music on their favorite tablet or gaming device."


Disney Princess: Fairy Tale Songs is a collection of classics from Disney animated films including "Tangled," "The Princess and the Frog," "The Little Mermaid," "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White," plus the official Disney Princess anthem, "The Glow." From the Emmy-nominated Disney Junior series "Jake and the Never Land Pirates," the soundtrack features 18 hook-filled songs by The Never Land Pirate Band such as "Hot Lava," "Talk Like a Pirate" and the hit show's theme song. The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse album features 2 songs from Grammy®-winning duo They Might Be Giants and 16 fun-filled tracks performed by Disney's Sensational Six: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Pluto. Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics(TM) is a collection of soothing melodies from composers such as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Vivaldi and other classical masters.
