Welcome to the Best Animated Disney Movie Song Tournament!
Welcome to the semifinals! After 10 years, Board 8 really hasnt changed much on its opinion of Disney music, as both of the previous champions are in the semifinals. Will they continue on their path to a repeat? Or will one of the other contenders join their ranks as Board 8s best Disney song! Full bracket: https://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=475247 Rules: -The matches will last 24 hours from the posting of this topic. -You may vote for one song in each match. -You do not have to vote in every match, and you do not have to vote all at once, but please make your votes clear. -The song with more votes in each match moves on, the other is eliminated. -If a match is tied after 24 hours, that match will carry over to the next day, where it will run for a fresh 24-hour cycle along with whatever regularly scheduled matches were planned that day. -No alts, no rallying, no trading votes, no deleting posts. -Updates are allowed, but please be accurate if you choose to provide one. -Have fun! Discussion is welcome in topic. Day 18 Results: (5) Friend Like Me (Aladdin) vs (11) Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas) 17-21 Have I talked about Alan Menken yet? The guy is the composer and songwriter behind the vast majority of the songs in this contest. He wrote and composed the songs for most of the Renaissance movies and beyond. Hes won so many awards, I cant even list them all here without making this blurb a page long. Disney movie music would not have been the same without him. But what I do want to share is what he said about the late, great Robin Williams, who was the voice of Genie in Aladdin: We didn't know who was going to play the genie when we wrote the song (Friend Like Me). We were looking at the character as black, a hipster, and I suggested a Fats Waller, Harlem stride-piano style from the '40s. When Robin Williams was suggested, my first thought was, 'Can he sing like Fats Waller?' Robin learned every note. He was working on Hook at the time, and he would come in after being stuck in a harness all day and sit at the piano and learn. When we went into the studio, we got exactly the Fats Waller performance we wanted, and then everyone said, 'Okay, but now can we let Robin do his thing?' He was amazing. That trumpet wah-wah-wah was supposed to be from an instrument, and he made it vocal. He took ahold of the creative process, both on that and 'Prince Ali' especially. My God, he went crazy on 'Prince Ali.' He was doing the Thanksgiving Day Parade, Arab-style. (4) Be Prepared (The Lion King) vs (7) Reflection (Mulan) 21-18 Did you notice how short of a song Reflection is? It actually was intended to be a longer song, but was edited to be shorter for the final cut. For those who are curious, below is a video of the full song, with storyboard drawings for the cut out parts: https://youtu.be/MQR898rb1k8 Todays Matches: (5) A Whole New World (Aladdin) vs (2) I'll Make A Man Out of You (Mulan) https://youtu.be/0eWUhXPhIaE https://youtu.be/TVcLIfSC4OE (11) Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas) vs (4) Be Prepared (The Lion King) https://youtu.be/O9MvdMqKvpU https://youtu.be/zPUe7O3ODHQ Easy vote form (Delete as appropriate): A Whole New World / I'll Make a Man Out of You Colors of the Wind / Be Prepared --- Don't mind me.

One other fun fact about Alan Menken was that the only major Renaissance movie he didn't work on was The Lion King, but that's because he was busy working on Pocahontas. Both movies were being worked on at the same time, and Disney had their A team working on Pocahontas as they thought it would be the greater box office success, leaving their B team to work on the Lion King project.

It is without contest that this first match is the hardest one so far, and if either song was on the other side of the bracket, it would have my vote. Sucks that this ended up being a semifinal match. I came into this day thinking I was voting one song but I'm voting the other after watching the videos TWICE.
The other match is really good. Both are great songs and deserved to make it to the end of the division. I'll Make a Man Out of You Be Prepared --- ~masterofmarth~ I have no idea why I'm on this site still. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sucks that this ended up being a semifinal match. I came into this day thinking I was voting one song but I'm voting the other after watching the videos TWICE. Funny, I feel the exact same way about the second. I think objectively colors of the wind is the best Disney song (Maybe second to Hell fire) But I think I like be prepared more. tough.

Yes, I would like to see that horse riding scene at the end fully animated. There was some discussion that it would possibly be done with the release of the 20th anniversary edition, but instead all we got was a cruddy live action remake. --- Don't mind me.

For those who are curious, below is a video of the full song, with storyboard drawings for the cut out parts: Yeah, I did notice this, and it felt weird considering the Xtina version is twice as long. Perhaps since she was a complete nobody 17 y/o at that time, they didn't feel the need to promote it. And then she made it big a year later when the genie came out of the bottle. --- BlueCrystalTear | GNT BB4 Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner #FearTheDeer | [For lease] | ((FREE HUGS)) | You're living your own life.
