Disneymania also known as "Disneymania 1" is the first album in the Disneymania series featuring various musical artists performing classic Disney songs. The original album, released on September 17, 2002, featured contemporary Disney classics. It was considered a commercial success, and achieved Gold certification from the RIAA in February 2003, despite peaking at 52nd place on the Billboard 200. Singles released from the album were "I Wanna Be Like You" by Smash Mouth, "Beauty and the Beast" by Jump5, and "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera.
Allmusic gave the album a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, noting "some of pop's biggest names have been handed over music from numerous Disney flicks (with most of the emphasis being on '80s and '90s fare), and then asked to give them totally new makeovers". It described the interpretations as "infusing a light trip-hop beat", "bouncy", "beeping electronics", "soulful", "pumping in beats", "a cappella", "'Footloose'-like spin", "understated", and "measured". Like their first album, this one also features CDVU+ technology that includes more than 30 pages of bonus features with an exclusive video performance, 60 printable photos, complete album lyrics, downloadable graphics, and hidden links. In addition, the packaging of the album is made from 100% recycled materials.
