Hey now, Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas stands on its own merit very uniquely from all the other D2V sequels: 1. It has all of the original cast from the first film (which they rarely EVER got) 2. TIM CURRY. 3. TIM CURRY. 4. TIM CURRY. 5. "I'M BOLTED TO THE WALL!!!!" - Tim Curry
I think those are definitely noteworthy things, but I have a lot of feelings about that movie..."Stories" is a great song, though. More on all that in my upcoming video about the Disney sequels :)
@@DreamsoundsVideo I highly agree I'm always very bummed that "As Long As There's Christmas" is considered the standout but for me it's "Stories" - and I really enjoyed the way they did that particular animation sequence inside of the pages of books. And... Tim Curry singing anything (though "Toxic Love" is definitely the best outside Rocky Horror - but doesn't fall under the category of Disney so I can't ask you to incorporate that...)
This was a fantastic video essay. Although I believe it was actually Enchanted, not Princess and the Frog, that ushered in the “modern era/return to form” musical style. In my opinion, I consider it to be a spiritual predecessor to Mary Poppins as it incorporates a lot of the same musical and story elements. I could totally be wrong, but it’s such a fantastic movie musical that doesn’t receive the credit it deserves.
This was so interesting! My favourite part of disney movies is how my love for Broadway musicals combines with the music in the movies. Like I said in my pixar video, the music in a disney movie greatly influences how much I love the film!
Wow what an incredible video!! Your research was amazing, and I can only imagine the hours that went into this. I loved your exploration of the music in Disney! Thank you so much, my love for Disney musicals even feels rekindled a little bit. Much love to you!!
Technically, Ernst Lubitch’s film of Franz Lehar’s The Merry Widow brought operetta to the movie musical most significantly- it was a huge hit in 1934 (and was the most expensive movie ever made by MGM at the time).
I'm curious to know how you think the DCOM musicals like HSM changed the structure of the musical. Is it because it has diegetic and non-diegetic music?
We, as a society, don’t talk about Home On The Range enough. I don’t care if it “didn’t do as well as the movies from the 90’s,” that movie and its songs are ICONIC. The yodeling song is chef’s kiss worthy. I like this video, though. Very educational. Disney soundtracks are not appreciated enough, especially the background music that sets the scenes just right.
I resisted but I actually like the score an awful lot (songs and incidental music). But... I disagree on iconic. To be iconic it would have the have images or songs or *anything* that a large number of people remember as iconic and... I don't think Home on the Range does :P
Great video and I LOVE that you called out Once Upon a Time in New York City from Oliver and Co. (I could be forgetting it but I don't think this great opening song even is mentioned in the Howard doc). It would be nice if you mentioned the composer, Barry Mann who was one of the best 1960s Brill Building songwriters (working primarily with lyricist Cynthia Weil who actually got her start with Frank Loesser) and interestingly just before Oliver and Co. Barry Mann, with Weil, wrote the songs (with some music assist from James Horner) for the first animated film to really challenge Disney's stronghold, An American Tail, including Somewhere Out There. (I guess Disney didn't mind using the same composer--ten or so years later they would fire Stephen Schwartz from Mulan because he was working as well for Dreamworks). Then again I don't think you even name drop Alan Menken, so... :P Rewatching Snow White recently, I was actually kinda surprised just how much of an operetta--in the Jeanette Macdonald/ Nelson Eddy mode with Snow herself and especially the Prince basically only talking in rhymed dialogue or song. And, as you point out, it used songs to advance the action in an integrated manner when this was still rare in Hollywood musicals (and to a lesser degree also rare on Broadway although less rare in operettas or some more adventurous works like Show Boat and the 1930s Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein musicals).

IT'S BACK! ♡
"Minnie's Yoo-Hoo" is one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm not joking. And I don't care what anyone else says. I love it.
God I love the songs at the end so much 😍😍😍
together again, gee it's good to see that video again 🎶

I never knew Ashman wrote for Oliver and Company!

Music let's characters exposition dump and express more intense emotions in a more entertaining way.
"Once Upon a Time in New York City" is such a good song.
