I got this soundtrack because my kids love the movie and loved to dance to Melt With You at the end. Since I grew up in the 80s it was fun to listen to these songs again and have my kids enjoy them. I think the remakes are pretty great - most of them have a lot more energy to them than the originals and do not sound as sappy. If you want to enjoy some of your old songs with your kids, this is a great CD!
