The original soundtrack to the 1999 animated film The King and I (produced by Warner Bros. Family Entertainment) was released on compact disc (and compact cassette) by Sony Classical in the same year.
Content The animated film did not use some songs from the original musical. Some were only heard in a medley played over the end credits, as performed by Barbra Streisand. The Streisand track, taken from her Broadway Album, opens the soundtrack CD.
The songs from the actual film are sung by Christiane Noll (the singing voice of Miranda Richardson as Anna), Martin Vidnovic (the King), Tracy Venner Warren, David Burnham.
Critical reception The magazine Show Music viewed the animated film negatively, but stated: "Most of the film's worst sins aren't apparent from the soundtrack album" and assessed the songs from the animated feature as "competently performed".
