My Favourite Disney Songs! | Part 2

-

Hey Guys x

I did a post called 'My Favourite Disney Songs' back in the beginning of July, which you can view here!

In that post, I said I was going to do a part two so that I could add more to the list. I then completely forgot about it!

But I've been wanting to do a Disney post for a while, so I decided that I'd finally add more to the list!

I'm going to get straight into this because otherwise we'll be here forever!

I'll also link all of the songs with their videos on YouTube so that you can see/hear them too!

Strangers Like Me - Tarzan


I re-watched Tarzan the other day and I am still completely obsessed. This song in particular is just so beautiful, and I think it really adds a lot to the story. The fact that he's seen people for the first time really makes me feel sympathetic for him, as he kind of doesn't know who he is, and this song really reflects that. I also think it's just really nice to listen to. I listen to it all the time!

I See The Light - Tangled


I have to admit, listening to this song really makes me think of Carrie Hope Fletcher and her boyfriend Pete, who covered this a while ago. I am a lover of romance and this song has romance literally written all over it! I love the way that you see their relationship develop and this song really helps to do that, just because of the lyrics, they're so simple and yet so beautiful!

I Just Can't Wait To Be King - The Lion King


I also re-watched this the other day. I hadn't seen it in a while, but this is a song that always stood out to me. Mainly because it reminds me of all children! In the past, we've all said something along the lines of 'I can't wait to get older', and now we're there, we're kind of indifferent. I for one am looking forward to the future. But when I was 14, I was so excited to be the age I am now. And now that I'm 18, I really have no idea what all the fuss is about!

Almost There - The Princess and the Frog


I have to admit, I'm not a fan of this movie at all. I just don't think it was that interesting and I am in absolutely no rush to see it again! However, when I heard this song, I completely loved it. I think it was to do with the line 'Look out boys, I'm coming through', where she's basically saying that being a girl isn't going to hold her back from doing anything that she wants to do, which I love and absolutely believe!

I'll Try - Return To Neverland


This is one Disney song that makes me cry! The memories of watching it in my childhood and the song's sentiment are really powerful. I know that this movie is less watched as it's a sequel, so the song is basically about a girl called Jane who is trying to make herself believe in Faries so that she can save Tinkerbell. It's so lovely, you really need to listen to it if you haven't!

You've Got A Friend In Me - Toy Story


The Toy Story Movies never fail to make me cry. I haven't seen the first one in years, but I watched the second and third back to back about two weeks ago and by the end I was near/in tears. This song is a key theme of all three of the movies and it means so much! I think friendship is really important and this song really portrays that!

When She Loved Me - Toy Story 2


Another from a Toy Story film! This song also makes me want to cry, because it's just so sad, especially if you get the context from watching the whole movie. It kind of makes me feel guilty a bit too, because obviously when you grow up, you forget about all of your childhood toys. Then when you find them again, you don't really want them so you give them to charity. But this song just kind of makes you think about all the toys that you've discarded.

Hakuna Matata - The Lion King


This is another from 'The Lion King' that I absolutely love! My favourite line is 'It means no worries, for the rest of your days' because once in a while, we all need to forget about our worries and just live in the present, especially me! So this song is a really nice reminder!

Friend Like Me - Aladdin


This is the last one I promise! I've been writing for almost an hour. Anyway, I couldn't write this post without mentioning this song. I have always loved this song, always. However, the lyrics have meant a lot more to me since Robin Williams died. It was just such a shock and reinforced the fact that you really don't know the people that you idolise. Even the happiest people on the outside can be the saddest on the inside, and that really hit home for me.

Anyway, I have to stop myself before I name all the songs that Disney has ever created!

Thank you for reading

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
