*grabs box of tissues*

I find it fascinating how disney come up with such catchy heart warming songs that everyone of any age could sing along too and love. I'm proud to say that i have an itunes full of dreamwork's, disney and pixar songs which i listen to regularly.
Obviously the animation needs to be there too but what i'm focusing on in this blog is how the songs make you feel, without the song the animation could not create that feeling where your tummy's in your shoes and a lumps in your throat.
I put up quite a few of my favourites up here because i just have way too many to choose from. I've watched Randy Newman talk about Jessie's song on 25 pixar magic moments, unfortunately i couldn't find this video online for some reason but he talks about the simple fact that its the tone of the piece that matters. The notes of the piano he plays mixed with some god damn good lyrics.
These are the things that make these scenes so memorable and such a huge part of a child's live, it teaches them what is wrong and right in such a beautiful way.

Jessie song lost out in the oscars in 2000 for best song but only lost out due to the fact that Phil Collins's - You'll be in my heart was released the same year. Such a shame because they both deserve an oscar

hercules - go the distance

This has to be one of my all time favourites -

Pocohontos - Colours if the wind

"Colors of the Wind" by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz was the 1995 Oscar-winner for Best Original Song from the Disney animated feature film Pocahontas. It also won the Golden Globe in the same category as well as the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Movie. The song poetically presents the Native American viewpoint that the earth is a living entity where humankind is connected to everything in nature.
