In 1990, Japan aired "National Eolia Special: Barry Manilow On Broadway" where he sang the title song "Eolia", which was used as a song there in a commercial for an air conditioner company of the same name, as well as other songs from his 1989–1990 "Live on Broadway" tour. In the early 1990s, Manilow signed on with Don Bluth to compose the songs with lyricists Jack Feldman and Bruce Sussman for three animated films. He co-wrote the Broadway-style musical scores for "Thumbelina" (1994) and "The Pebble and the Penguin" (1995). The third film, entitled "Rapunzel", was shelved after the poor performance of "The Pebble and the Penguin". Manilow was also to be cast as the voice of a cricket. Manilow also composed the score and wrote two songs with Bruce Sussman for "Disney Sing Along Songs: Let's Go To The Circus".
