The Aladdin section brings "Jafar's Bizarre" with its Middle Eastern flair, the Alice in Wonderland levels get three distinct theme variations that each capture a different shade of Wonderland weirdness, and The Lion King levels roll out "Hakuna Matata," "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," and "King of Pride Rock" in reimagined arrangements.
The original compositions are where the personality really lives. "Gangster" and "Hippy Dippy" are pure attitude, "Dripdrop Hiphop" is exactly as fun as the name suggests, "Fatbouy Jack" has this swaggering groove, and "Rocksteady Revenge" brings the intensity for action sequences.
The Monsters, Inc. world gets "If I Didn't Have You" and "Walk to Work," while the WALL-E levels are represented by the BNL tracks. Having platform-specific versions of "It's a Small World" for Apple Music and Spotify is a strange modern artifact.
"Enter the Heroes" and "One Universe" tie the whole package together as connective tissue between the Disney worlds. It's a lighthearted, genre-jumping collection that never takes itself too seriously, which is exactly what a game about dressing up as Disney characters and smashing things should sound like.
