The deer at the beginning sounded JUST like Bambi, and the turtle, how he pops his head, arms, and legs in, and spins, just like the turtle from Robin Hood! The roaches and mice creeped me out. LOL I'm listening to the soundtrack, and am enjoying the instrumental parts, especially when I hear snippets from other Disney movies. (Like Beauty and the Beast right now in "Nathanial and Pip") And, I will have "How does she know" stuck in my head forever.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Actually, when the 'parade' is crossing the bridge, it reminded more of the opening of Sleeping Beauty. Not sure if that was intentional or not...

Then when Giselle catches him, they slide down the roof the same way Quasi and Esmerelda do when he gets her out of the bell tower. JT
