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

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-

When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i
