By nature, I write, read, think, and talk about politics. But since (wo)man can’t live by politics alone, I will reveal the side of me that keeps my roommates from thinking I’m completely cold-hearted. You see, underneath my “politics-only” exterior, I have a soft spot in my heart for … Disney fairies.

Sad but true.

In 2008 Disney released “Tinker Bell,” the first of five planned movies about the temperamental fairy from J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan.” While the second installment of the series, “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure,” will be released Tuesday, the soundtrack for the movie recently revealed a collection of songs that are distinctly underwhelming.

The main strength of the album rests in Joel McNeely, whose score gives the film a beautiful, lightly Celtic feel that emphasizes the ties to the earth and nature that the series promote.

The second strength to the film’s soundtrack is the lone “power ballad” song by a Celtic recording star. In the first film, the “power ballad” was provided by Loreena McKennitt. On this new soundtrack, Lisa Kelly of “Celtic Women,” takes the Disney fairy torch and runs with it. Her number, “If You Believe,” is easily the strongest number on the album. “Where the Sunbeams Play,” by Celtic artist Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, also adds maturity.

Beyond that, the soundtrack is weak. As more Disney “stars” magically discover they can “sing,” the novelty of their “talent” blurs into unrecognizable bubblegum. Sadly, this album falls victim to the plague.

Disney Channel actors Demi Lovato, Tiffany Thornton, Alyson Stoner, and Selena Gomez help drive the ho-hum soundtrack, joined by Jordin Sparks, Jesse McCartney, Jordan Pruitt, Jonatha Brooke and sister-act Ruby Summer. Newcomers Savannah Outen and Haley Orrantia also add their voices.

Unlike the diabolic fairy in Barrie’s “Peter Pan,” the Tinker Bell of the new Disney series is a sweeter, gentler being. After all, as Barrie said, “Tink was not all bad … sometimes she was all good. Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time.”

The “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” soundtrack is mostly forgettable, but not bad. The few gems on the soundtrack, however, are “all good.”

P.S. The Tinker Bell movies may be silly, but visually, they are breathtaking. Judge away.
