Originally Posted By utahjosh Hercules has great music. "Go The Distance" is just about perfect. "Zero to Hero" is great, too. So is "I Won't Say I'm in Love" and "A Star is Born." "One Last Hope" is a very well-written song. It's just performed by Danny DeVito...
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Aw, come on mawnck! "Say it with a Slap" is one of Disney's most unique songs out there! Just try to watch it without breaking a smile. It gets me every time! As for Hercules, I agree that it probably shouldn't be included on the list. But if you have to include something, "Zero to Hero" is much better than "Go the Disntance", IMO (though there are a lot of people out there who disagree; I honestly barely remember it even being in the film). And I also agree with Schmitty about the inclusion of "Beauty and the Beast". Again, if you must include a song from that film, "Belle" or "The Mob Song" would have been much better choices. Despite somehow winning an Oscar, the BATB title song has always felt very contrived, and just left me completely flat.
Originally Posted By u k fan Yeah, it's a very narrow list and considering it's very 90's based how did HoND get snubbed? Hellfire or Out There deserves a place on that list for sure. You're never going to please everyone with these lists, but aside from a few obvious picks they seem to have forgotten that WDFA didn't start up in 1989!!!
Originally Posted By Dabob2 A ridiculous list. #1 is a no-brainer, but the 90's heavy rest of it is just lame. And, as others have said, if you're going to do the heavy-on-the-90's thing, why not Hellfire? Because they didn't have a clip of a pop star doing their version, that's why.
Originally Posted By just another guest "Feh ... a list by 90s kids with tunnel vision." I agree. Hercules and Tarzan don't carry enough weight to push aside Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella that have so many great classic Disney songs that are by far more recognized and more loved today. My 7 yr old DD sings "A dream is a wish your heart makes.." and "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream.." ALL DAY LONG
Originally Posted By mawnck >>Once Upon a Dream. Definitely.<< I'd make the argument, though, that, since that one's filched from a melody by Tchaikovsky, its eligibility should at least be reviewed by the judges. But Baby Mine and Bella Notte dang well should be on that list.
Originally Posted By magic0214 Baby Mine is the best, and it has a pop version (Bette Midler) which would make these judges happy. Personally, I realize it isn't entirely wide regarded, but I love "Little April Showers" from Bambi.
Originally Posted By mawnck >>I realize it isn't entirely wide regarded, but I love "Little April Showers" from Bambi.<< +1. Not sure it belongs in a top 10, but I'd nominate it for a top 20, no problemo. Here's your pop version, sort of: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXZ65_FLU3M" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...65_FLU3M</a> Also, here's Baby Mine by Bonnie Raitt, an almost-hit from 1988: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqir1zJ0C9I" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...r1zJ0C9I</a>
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I agree that "Baby Mine" and "Bella Notte" are the best songs from their respective films, but I'd also place "Pink Elephants on Parade," "He's a Tramp," and even "The Siamese Cat Song" above "Go the Distance."
Originally Posted By WilliamK99 Hellfire is the most intense song ever in a Disney movie, it should have been in top 5 at least.
Originally Posted By magic0214 Now that we are all talking about, let us all list our Top 10 Disney Songs...as of today (Because, let's be honest...we all flip-flop throughout time) 1. He's A Tramp 2. Zero to Hero 3. Baby Mine 4. Little April Showers 5. Colors of the Wind 6. Cruella de Vil 7. Will the Sun Ever Shine Again 8. The Three Caballeros 9. Everybody Wants to be a Cat 10. Johnny Fedora (if it counts...)
Originally Posted By basil fan I think "Out There" is much better than Hellfire. And I've always felt that "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" was overrated.
