Songs of Disney

[E-Man]

Disney music? DISNEY MUSIC? You're talking to a guy who has studied Disney musicals and a made formulas for them. I freaking LOVE Disney music. They are perhaps the shining example of how to make the perfect musical and how a musical number benefits a story rather than be a distraction from it. I'm looking at you Nightmare Before Christmas... what a mess.

I've gone even further to study the work history of great Disney musicians like the Sherman Brothers and Alan Menkin. Fuck you Phil Collins! Oh sorry, where did that come from?

Anyway, yes. I love Disney musicals and it is a shame that musicals themselves are dying.

Phil Collins? Never heard of him... Anyway, I'm not surprised that Disney films used song only for the purpose of telling stories. Walt himself always strived to go for the best in animation when he still ran the show. I'm pleased that there are still people out there that think likewise.

Also, I didn't know that musicals themselves are dying, too. I thought that Disney losing it's touch and becoming more interested in making money was the main issue here.

I'm gonna open up Pandora's box and say that I don't like the Nightmare Before Christmas.


Anyway, I like Hannah Montana music!!
(well, I do, but not the topic at hand!)

I'm not sure what my favorite Disney movie song is...so many great ones to choose from! The first movie that comes to mind is Mulan! Reflection, I'll Make a Man out of You, and even A Girl Worth Fighting For are all super memorable to me. I never really thought about, but Mulan has much fewer musical segments than other Disney animated films, doesn't it?

Gotta give props to Hakuna Matata (from Lion King, of course)

Ah... Hakuna Matata... I remember how P.T. Piranha always tells me that whenever I'm upset about someone not liking me. Even though I have a hard time following it, that really is a good piece of advice.


By the way, I noticed that the both of you dislike the Nightmare Before Christmas. Since I disliked that film myself prior to playing the Kingdom Hearts games, I can tell you that I can respect your opinion. Sure, it has some nice music, a great art style, and some of the best stop motion ever seen in any film, but not everyone likes the idea of a creepy Christmas special. It's all good!

Of course, I wish I could say the same about some of the members on Smack Jeeves. If you mention that you dislike that film to most of the Kingdom Hearts fans on that site (especially DaGreenFreak and Mr. Aids), chances are that they aren't going to like that. I learned that from past experience, but everything's alright now.
