Dream a Little Dream Soundtrack

Sugar, Pepper, and Salt continue their efforts to graduate from apprentices to full-fledged Season Fairies, while inadvertently causing problems for their human friend, Saga. Sugar and Saga still squabble, and when Sugar writes an apology, she inadvertently defaces a musical manuscript written by Saga's dead mother. Everyone's life is further complicated by the arrival of Elder, the chief of the Season Fairies, who's trying to find a way to declare his affections for Ginger the Rain Fairy. Salt helps Saga's friend Phil create an artificial aurora, although why he switched from opposing Phil's experiments to aiding them isn't clear. Sugar epitomizes the Japanese fondness for the hyper-cute. These saccharine mini-adventures may appeal to small girls, but few boys will enjoy them. The combination of adorable little characters, squeaky voices, and aggressively wholesome stories will set adults' teeth on edge. (Rated 3 and older) --Charles Solomon
