What makes "No Way Out" worse is that, among the deleted scenes for Brother Bear, there is indeed a deleted scene for the conversation between Kenai and Koda regarding the former killing the latter's mother. No Phil Collins song, just the revelation of the truth and the emotions that come from the characters' conversation. The sheer fact that this was deleted in favor of a Phil Collins song narrating what's happening is just... disheartening.
I had to look up the deleted scene and I think it was better than the final version. Which sucks because it felt like an honest conversation between two people and a proper confession
Yeah the deleted version is extremely powerful, to the point of being genuinely uncomfortable, which works for the moment narratively but I guess not for focus groups
The Yodelling song is actually really funny in context because the villain is played up as some dangerous cow rustler who steals livestock for a living, and of course the opening shot intentionally misdirects you into thinking he's picked up a gun, before he turns it slightly to reveal the guitar. Also his obsession with yodelling is actually a really good running gag too. He has an amazing moment where one of his henchman insinuates that someone didn't like his singing, and his (paraphrased here) response is great. "Singing? Birds sing. Little children SING, boy... I YODEL! And yodelling.... IS AN ART!" Also it's genuinely good yodelling so it's fun to listen to.
Fun fact, in a way he was right about Yodel being an art, turns out that when other countries where dubbing the movie they had problems with the Yodel part son they had to use the Yodel from the original version or the Mexican dub for their own dubs
@@goldenhorse4823 I kinda disagree. I liked the movie as a whole. It was certainly one of Disney's better direct-to-video movies that wasn't a sequel, and I actually didn't have a problem with the story. However, yes. I feel because of how funny he is, Slim is one of the most underrated Disney Villains of all time. It's not a perfect movie by any means, but comparing to Chicken Little, Mars Needs Moms, and every Live-action Remake besides 101 Dalmatians, I would much rather watch Home on the Range.
I remember what he said mostly. Lol "My singing?!!" 🤨 *All the Willy brothers gasp* "Song birds sing! 😠 Saloon gals sing! 😠 Little itty-bitty snot-nosed children... SING!!!! 😡 I YODEL, AND YODELING IS AN ART!!!!!!!!"😤
Disagree with a few of these, but I'm gonna focus on Son of Man. A lot of the problem with this song is due to misinterpreting the lyrics. "The power to be strong and the wisdom to be wise." Problem with this lyric? Probably because you're missing the most important part. "All these things will come to you in time." A child can not truly obtain strength because their body isn't fully developed, aka too weak. It will become more powerful as they age which will allow them to become strong. A child also doesn't fully understand wisdom because they haven't had enough experience to even know what that is. They will get wiser as they age to actually understand the concept of wisdom, which they can then pursue. Not having these things can be very frustrating when growing up, but they are both something that come inevitably with aging, aka, with time. (The lyrics could also be interpreted metaphorically, but I don't think that's the interpretation Phil was going for). The point of the first set of lyrics is to say that the child will have frustrations with trying to become an adult, but eventually they will reach their goal. That's why it ends with Phil saying "You will climb the mountain. You will reach the peak." It's a moment of encouragement, introducing the atmosphere of the song before diving into the chorus. The entire song is meant to encourage a child who is struggling with becoming an adult. "Son of man look to the sky. Lift your spirit, set it free Some day you will walk tall with pride Son of man, a man in time you'll be" means... Child, hold your head up and be happy. Some day, you'll become the adult you want to be.
yeah but just cuz you're a grownup doesn't mean you're gonna be hella wise. (insert political joke here) wisdom's more of a combination of experience and age, not just age
Honestly, I think "Try Everything"'s message is empowering in a way. We as a society fear failure, but he shouldn't. Failing to the only way to learn. Let's face it. You're gonna fail, and you're gonna fail again, but that's ok! Essentially, the message is don't feel bad if you make mistakes. Try new things, and, even if you make mistakes, that's just progress. Your first attempt at something IS going to suck no matter what, but the more you try, the more you improve
Agreed, it's a more honest empowerment song. The line "new mistakes" is basically to say you shouldn't make the same mistakes, but that you might make new mistakes but you should keep trying despite knowing you might fail...which is honestly what stops MOST people from even trying in the first place, as said the fear of failure is systemic in modern society and holds a lot of people back.
@@benjaminbierley2074 you make a really good point about new mistakes vs same mistakes. Making new mistakes is improvement, while making same mistakes is stagnation
@@meta527II your love for ANYTHING will never be unjustified. Mr enter just presented his opinion, and you have yours. Both of them have equal value. Just because Mr enter has a larger audience doesn't negate that. Also, there are many readings for art, songs included, so you can have whatever reading you want as long as you support it with evidence from the art
To add to your Brother Bear part of the video, they almost DID just have the characters talk to each other in the final cut. You can even see the deleted scene on the home releases fully storyboarded and voiced by the actors but they scrapped it after kids in the test audience got scared/thought it was too dark which is why we get the halfhearted compromise in the final cut. It’s a real shame because Joaquin Phoenix did a fantastic job with the scene as it actually sounded like he was going to breakdown in tears during the process, which considering he’s a method actor, could have very well been the case. So it’s most likely they either asked Phil to write a thematically appropriate song or they pulled one of the bonus credits/soundtrack songs and reused it there. Either way, that’s why the song and that scene come off so awkwardly.
@@MrChaotic4 fair point. Maybe they could have trimmed the conversation up a bit to get to the point/the emotional confession and then had the song play a bit when Koda ran away from Kenai.
I honestly love the message in Try Everything. It teaches acceptance rather than blind positivity, and reminds us that failure is okay as long as we try again the next day. It’s okay to have bad days and it’s okay to not be perfect. And that’s empowering and realistic on its own. Owning your own bad days and having confidence despite them is it’s own form of positivity. It’s not your average empowerment anthem but it’s honestly more important and real than most of them.
Yes I was like “wtf?!” during MrEnter’s “analysis”… Try Everything isn’t really my type of song, but the lyrics *are* actually very empowering. Idk, as someone who’s scared to try literally anything cause I know I’ll fail, it’s actually refreshing to hear a song tell you “I’ll try again and again, and even then, I might still fuck up. It’s okay though!” Now listening to Enter on Phil Collins’s song for Tarzan, I think he is totally unable to take lyrics at anything other than face value. Which is a bit irksome.
@@etherealsky7078 Remember, John is an Aspie. His brain is wired differently. My guess is certain songs just get his hackles up. The Phil Collins Tarzan songs are bad, but not for their lyrics. It's because they're non-diagetic, something rarely seen in Disney movie songs before then. A great example of a diagetic song during a growing-up montage is "Hakuna Matata". And yes, I also disagree with his conclusion about "Try Everything"
@@Soufriere84 dude. You can think Mr enter is wrong without trying to "link" it to his autism. It's honestly kind of creepy trying to "analyze" his mind like you're a nature documentary trying to analyze the behavior of wildlife. Mr enter is an adult capable of forming opinions and rational decisions , and his Autism doesn't change that fact. Also, people can dislike things for different reasons. While Im not really bothered by the lyrics enter talked about in the tarzan song, it doesn't mean he's "disliking it for the wrong reasons"
Objection! Success comes after many failures. A hero who always succeeds is a boring character everyone hates. "I did not fail to invent a lightbulb 1,000 times, I found 1,000 ways not to make a lightbulb"-Thomas Eddisson
Well said! Part of why I think Inazuma Eleven is a great Japanese anime/game franchise is that the Raimon teams, both in the original series and in GO (we didn’t get Ares or Orion here in Europe) are not perfect. Mark Evans needed to take different approaches to pull of his saving moves (or hissatsu if you’re a subs not dubs person), Jack Wallside, the defender, is a coward but he had to get over his fear of heights in order to do the Inazuma Drop move with striker Axel Blaze. In Inazuma Eleven GO (the 10 years later sequel series), we see that not only are Raimon, with their new squad, still a top team, but they don’t win all the time! In the finals the year before, they lost 2-1 to Kirkwood Jr High, a school also famous for their soccer team! Had Raimon won every Soccer Fronteir/Saints Way tournament since Evans and his team did, they wouldn’t have been as interesting!
The original deleted scene of Kenai’s confession is so much better. This one cuts the song and actually shows and reveals as Kenai shows gratitude to Koda for helping guide him and learn how to live as a bear before confessing that that because of him, he will never get to see his mom again. If they had either cut the song completely or saved it for after Koda runs away, it would’ve been better.
I remember seeing that on the DVD and it was a really powerful scene, I don't know why filmmakers keep cutting out good scenes because they think it's "too dark", like if a guy can kill a bear and the whole movie will be about him having to confess that, then you'd think we'd actually hear him confess it!
The original technically didn't cut the song since they still had it, just a shorter part and after the conversation had concluded. If they had done that and kept the full version for the credits, boom, best of both worlds.
I agree because they actually put the song in after he told Koda that he killed his mom in the deleted version. It would have been better if they stuck with the deleted version.
I believe the filmmakers put the song over Kenai's confession because the audience just saw how he killed Koda's mom, so they didn't think we needed to hear him explain it.
I personally liked Son of Man because it was about Tarzan learning and developing, and showed how he was thinking differently than his adoptive gorilla family. I get that the lyrics are pretty simple, but you might have missed the lyrics right after those, where it's said that Tarzan will eventually become greater. But I get why you wouldn't like it. I agree with the other choices, and also am glad you mentioned The Color of Friendship. That's a good movie.
Phil Collins gets a lot of guff like this all the time. See the Brother Bear song. For me, "Son of Man" is up there with "Go The Distance" for my favorite Disney songs. And that's not even touching a lot of their famous villain songs, like "Be Prepared", "Hellfire", and "Let it Go". (What? I'm right.)
@@draketheduelist I can understand the anger at the Brother Bear song because it basically interrupts what is supposed to be an emotional moment. The song is just fine, but the timing is horrible, especially considering there is a deleted scene where Kenai actually speaks through it and it is so much more impactful.
In my personal opinion, I felt that "Try Everything" was not saying "you're going to fail!" or "you will keep failing!" but that failing or making mistakes are a learning process and will lead to eventual success with words such as "I wont give up, no I wont give in!" and "try again!". Basically, that not everyone's perfect and that it's ok if you didnt get something right the first time, but that even if you may not be successful immediately should still try anyway. Hence the word "Try Everything!"
Agreed And for me, it was the song I replayed the most in March 2016 (6 years already! Where does the time go 😱) after seeing the film not long after being on the mend after getting suddenly sick with Ulcerative Colitis and ending up in the hospital a few times that year. In fact, I feel the film as a whole will always have a special place in my heart. I’m fine now, but yet I feel the film helped me though that difficult time
Fun fact: Pocahontas and Lion King were being worked on simultaneously and Pocahontas was seen as the Golden Child project, with all the best animators working on it and people wanting to jump Lion ship to join the project. That's why Pocahontas does at least have arguably better animation than the Lion King. The studio thought it was going to be the breakaway hit and that the Lion King was basically just a space filler.
I actually don't think Savages is that bad. The lyrics can definitely be improved as it's a bit on the nose, but I wouldn't say it's the second worst Disney song.
If the lyrics are on the nose now, you should probably listen to the version on the Pocahontas soundtrack. Hoo boy some of the lyrics were heavy with racism on the settlers' verse!
The blunt and cheesy lyrics are not so blunt and cheesy nowadays. I kept hearing racist remarks like that from my family and other people who have a distaste towards black people and Chinese people (I am not black but I am quarter-Chinese and both me and my mother have experienced racism for being Chinese). Our local soap operas here in the Philippines also outright promote and endorse racism, sexism, homophobia, and all other kinds of prejudice with using actual slurs and remarks even more extreme than "They're not like you or me, which means they must be evil". The local soap operas outright state that black people are subhuman, cursed and deformed people, or demons who are always chaotic evil. Bigotry is extremely prevalent in Filipino culture and things need to change. And going on Twitter (aka. descending to the depths of Hell) will reveal to you much more extreme remarks than that.
I think "Savages" is an awesome song. It perfectly shows and highlights the villains personality, how far he is willing to go to manipulate his own men after the incident with their comrade (i forgot all their names, haven't watched the movie in a long long time) and what kind of vile rhetoric he is using to get the troop into a killing mood against a people which, if i remember correctly, they tried to coexist with, however shaky the foundations were of that either way. It oozes with evil, shows the disdain those people have for each other after what happened and climaxes the conflict incredibly well. Cultural insensitivities and historical accuracy nonwithstanding.
Yeah, it's honestly one of my favorite Disney songs and it works well for a "both sides" movie. The issue really is that this wasn't the best topic to "both sides".
in a vacuum savages is fine????? i feel like it's a standard villain song to be honest. but outside of the vacuum, both sidesing the issue of colonization is hilarious at best and insensitive as all hell at worst. (i know you said cultural insensitivities nonwithstanding, i just can't separate it from the real life implications in my head lmao)
@@christmastreegoblin9211 heheheheh ooh we're playing the at the time game whilst pretending the Indians are the same group when they spent centuries slaughtering eachother the entire way through to adhere to the claim they were just indians is disingenuous
"Savages," or as a matter of fact Disney's Pocahontas in general, is something where I can UNDERSTAND why people dislike it, but I still love and hold dear to me like a lot of animated movies I grew up with.
I liked the Tarzan and Zootopia songs even if the lyrics aren't the best, also, while I hate that Aristocats song, I like the movie alright, I also like a lot of those slow ballets.
Tarzan's soundtrack is weird because its songs sound like Phil Collins solo tracks, that kinda fits the story but not really. At the very least, it's not really talking to Tarzan, but the audience.
I'm confused how he thinks Son of Man and Try Everything are horrible songs. I'm like I think he's overthinking the words instead of hearing and seeing the song in action.
@@CassidyShadewing Obviously looking too much at the little details and not trying to look for the big picture. I get it's just the way his brain works and so does mine, but he could try harder. I do.
I have to disagree with the remark along the lines of "Racists don't actually talk like that" you made in regards to Savages because a long time ago, (Like in the early 1600s) they DID voice their racism rather openly and in a rather hostile way, ESPECIALLY if they were talking about non-christians who they were going to go to war with. Its not at all pretty and its very ugly and blatant, but because of that it feels more real to the period. I feel like what lets savages down is much more the color theory thing and the weak side of the song for the natives. As for the "Well only one side has guns!" statement, the Jamestown Massacre was a real event in which warriors of the Powhatan Confederacy killed 347 settlers in Virginia, a quarter of the colony's population, and then destroyed crops and livestock leading to the starvation of a further 500, leaving only 180 survivors. So yeah "Only one side had guns", but you have to remember a gun is only a threat when its loaded, readied, and aimed at you, and hostilities between natives and settlers were almost never as black and white as plain constant open warfare. Iunno, just came off as dismissive of the native warriors and the fact that they WERE tained warriors, even if they were using inferior weaponry.
Actually, I'm not sure about racists, but Christians GENUINELY talk like that. Everyone who doesn't believe in their god is an immoral monster or something ridiculous like that.
@@eymed2023 *Some Christians. Just like how it's true that only Some Racists talk blatantly about their racism. Only difference is there's good christians, but I don't think its possible for there to be good racists.
@@thelibyanplzcomeback Maybe racists aren't so open. But mysogenists and religious fanatics are VERY open about their bigotry. "Death to all X" is par for the course in many right wing opinions. "Death to all gays" and "Death to all atheists" are real mentalities.
If I recall correctly, "Morning Report" was written for The Lion King broadway musical, and was added to the movie after the success of "Human Again" in Beauty and the Beast.
I'll never get why Morning report made it in when the other Broadway song "He lives in you" is far superior and ended up on the sequel. That was a song worthy of being in the first one.
Even the addition of “Human Again” is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I am glad that after a decade directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise were finally able to put the song in the film as was originally intended considering this was the song that originally covered the growing relationship between Belle and Beast, there was no “Something There”, and they had to take it out because the timeline represented in the original version of the song was very confusing as it had verses suggesting the passage of time like Fall ending and Winter arriving and put in the shorter and more direct song “Something There”. It is great that they managed to solve the issue and find a more appropriate place to put the song without confusing the timeline. But on the other hand, I do feel like the song works better in the Broadway show than it does in the film. By having “Human Again” between “Something There” and “Beauty and the Beast” and coming shortly after “Something There” and before “Beauty and the Beast”, it does feel cluttered like there’s too many songs compared to the Broadway musical where there’s already a lot of newer songs in addition to the already existing ones from the film, so it doesn’t feel as cluttered there. Also in the Broadway, you had a break from Belle, Beast and the servants in the castle to go back to Gaston and Lefou in the village bribing Monsieur D’Arque to lock Belle’s father up in his asylum in part of Gaston’s scheme to force Belle to marry him through the song “Mason de Lunes” and then a cut back to the castle and some dialogue between Beast and his servants helping him to overcome his anxiety before the big dance with Belle. In the Special Edition, there is no break from the characters in the castle after “Human Again”, as we cut to the preparation before the ballroom dance and it’s much shorter compared to the Broadway musical. So it does give the feeling we’re jumping from one song to another to another without any form of break for dialogue or a new location change focusing on what is going on with the other important characters during the timeline of events. Also, the song feels pointless because we already have “Something There” to covey the growing relationship between Belle and Beast. Sure, “Human Again” does convey the servants’ desire to become, well, human again. But their verse in “Something There” does already convey that in a way. Also several times throughout the film, we’ve already seen and know the servants’ desire to become human again, so we don’t need the song to convey that. Also, I do think the film still flows very well without the song. I watched the film on Disney+ in honor of its 30th anniversary and the song wasn’t included. So it’s proof that the film can still survive without the song. While, the reinsertion of “Human Again” into the film isn’t bad, overall it just doesn’t feel necessary and works better in the stage show. Although I am glad Disney didn’t go the George Lucas route and have the song be permanently in all releases of the film. They do give you options to watch the film with or without the song.
@@yotsubafanfan To be fair, "He Lives In You" kind of would have dragged that whole section of the movie out, which damages pacing during a crucial moment late in the film. At least "Morning Report" is brief and in the first act.
I think the worst thing about "Fixer Upper" is that it completely grinds the story to a halt. They're on a strict time limit, and these trolls stop to sing an annoying song and try to force Anna and Kristoff to wed without even asking them. So much for love experts.
@@vilmublues752 I mean she doesn’t Mary him in the end. Heck they don’t even get engaged until the end of the second film. Which I mean the rescuers down under did that first but other than that Mulan I think is the only Disney animated film where the romantic leads don’t get married at the end.
Allow me to clarify the context for Home on the Range's Technicolor cows: there isn't any. Oh, sure, there's the plot point of Slim controlling cows with his yodeling, but the psychedelia is non-diegetic, as far as I can tell.
I'm pretty sure that, aside from visuals differing from the rest of the movie, the visuals are supposed to represent being in a trance of some kind. That's just me tho
Agreed I’m glad Phil Collins won the Oscar for it as well Though his work on Brother Bear four years later is what really got me into him (I was only 4 when Tarzan came out so I really couldn’t fully appreciate it a lot until later on)
I think you missed the point of the Tarzan song. The next line after those first two lines is 'all these things will come to you in time'. Phil Collins is saying Tarzan will eventually acquire power and wisdom and be strong and wise. He doesn't have those qualities yet, but he shouldn't worry, because all these things will come to him in time. Also, the line about 'visions and dreams' just stands for ambitions - not any SPECIFIC ambition, just all the things he dreamed of, the visions that he saw. Whatever they may be. Likewise, in 'Scales and Arpeggios', the whole point is that they're singing and playing badly - they're the equivalent of little kids having a piano lesson (in one case, against their will), it's pretty much a given that it's going to suck. Part of the joke is that Marie is convinced she DOESN'T suck, and is a really good singer - again, like most real little girls who get encouraged to sing and play at an early age. The movie is precisely poking fun at that, and at moms who want their kids to do that sort of thing and be good at it at like age 5. Also, am I the only one that never minded the Gargoyles? ESPECIALLY the 'fat, stupid one'? How can you not like a stumpy sentient stone statue with the voice of George Costanza? Also also, agreed about 'Morning Report', even though by the criteria you laid out, it IS kind of cheating. I never could watch the Special Edition version of The Lion King - the movie is much better without that extra scene in it. Good on you for putting respect on TLK II's soundtrack as well (VERY underrated set of songs) though I don't know about better than the original. I'd go with 'almost as good as'.
I was surprised that the sequels weren't included. I never considered them non-canon. But I guess if they were included this list would be comprised almost entirely of them.
Maybe for the other sequels, but don’t you dare consider Beauty and the Beast midquels canon. They are obviously not canon and never should be considered so. This is because they are so disjointed with the events of the original, making the Beast an unlikable piece of sh*t and Belle ending up reinforcing the ‘Stockholm syndrome’ argument, which in the context of just the original movie is non-existent, teaching bad lessons about being a life coach and apologising for someone else’s behaviour.
11:30 Ode to Joy is not a church hymn. That's f*cking Beethoven and his ninth symphony. The second line mentions the greek afterlife Elysiym for not-christs sake. It's also the European anthem since a few decades ago.
In the U.S. it is sung at church with changed lyrics (Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love! Hearts unfold like flowers before thee opening to the sun above...). But yes, originally the lyrics are Schiller's An die Freude.
Weirdly enough, I unironically enjoy Let It Go (and the opening ice-picking song), but all the rest is so forgettable or irritating. I felt like the sequel’s songs were a huge step up, I like almost all of them. Also the movies themselves… exist…
13:33 If I'm remembering correctly, his voice actor actually is a talented singer! When he did his first take, he was too good and they asked him to essentially gave you what you heard! I know you kind of mentioned already that you didn't care if it was bad on purpose, but I just read the fun fact and thought it applicable! Could you imagine if Duckman had a musical!
@@blizzardforonline1954 Yeah, he was big on Broadway beforehand. He was also in the _Wonderful World Of Disney's_ adaptation of _Rodger & Hammerstein's Cinderella_ and _Bye-Bye Birdie._
In regards to #10, very few people are good enough to succeed at something without failing first. Spielberg wasn't immediately good at making movies. Kobe wasn't a great basketball player the first time he picked up a ball. I think a message about failure not being unusual is encouraging for those with ambitions and passions for a certain thing, and when they go out and try, and don't succeed right away, that's ok...that's normal. Or maybe you failed at something and realized you don't want to do it anymore. Just keep trying until you find something that works and you feels right.
@@SomeHarbourBastard and I'm sure h put in a lot of hardwork as a young kid to hone his skills and craft, he didn't just pop out of the womb knowing how to block a scene.
IDK. I feel like the point of 'Son of Man' is to be obvious. Instead of trying to be exactly like a gorilla, he learned to do things with tool... like a man. Also the fact he figured it out himself. It's not a coming of age song, it's a figuring out who he was as an individual. Also WOW, I want to actually fight you for the Aristocats. Like ok you don't like it, but saying it's terrible and that everything about it is the worst, hell no. I do not understand why you have such hate for this cute movie. And saying you hate a song because it's exactly what it is? I'm confused by 'Savages'. The whole point of the song is to be crude and show racial tension. ALSO Kocoum got killed and John was going to be killed, you can't tell me this wouldn't happen when tension was already high. The blue is NOT calming, it's eerie.
15:30 - Oh god, the worst by *far* was the cover of "Somewhere Out There", which turned a duet between a brother and sister hoping to be reunited into a love ballad. And despite the voice actor for Fievel being *way* out of his element with trying to sing the piece, the effort still shines through even during the points his singing becomes shrill. Edit: And sadly, because the cover *did* become a huge hit, every other animated movie wanted to pull of the same thing. Edit 2: While the cover itself is well-done, the trend it set and how drastically the tone changed from the one of the film makes it a dud, in my eyes.
I had a feeling the Rock Trolls' song was going to make it on this list! Although I don't like the siamese cat stereotypes in Lady and the Tramp and Aristocats (even as a kid I knew something was off and felt uncomfortable watching them), I still enjoy both movies. For the former, it's how we get to know the title characters and their struggles. I find it to be very well paced and the other songs are quite great! For the latter, sometimes I just want to indulge in something lighthearted and silly (like really, the whole conflict starts because the butler Edgar wants the inheritance from the cats' owner and he's miffed that she's giving it to her pets instead. So he drugs them, dumps them in a river, and tries to ensure they don't get home at the end of the movie by attempting to ship them off to Timbuktu! It's so crazy, I still can't help but love it to this day!). That arpeggio song though, it did always sound like random noises.
Good to know i'm not the only one who feels rubbed the wrong way after listening to it after watching the movie. The fact that it sounded like it was literally only 3 seconds long STILL doesn't sit right with me
To be fair, if he counted live action remakes, this whole list would be nothing but songs from them. It's part and parcel of a line of movies whose sole reason for existing can be accurately summed up by the following: *"EVIL MOUSE OVERLORD WANT MORE MONEY! OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!"*
Well for the gargoyles song, when the point was discussed that they shot his confidence up to the moon there really isn’t a “they” here. I always took the gargoyles as Quasimodo himself. Nobody else could see them move. Sure you have the unexplainable stuff they put in there for the kids, like the fat one knocking some guards out but that’s all that was supposed to be. A funny thing to keep kids attention. The song did feel out of place, but I think that was the point. It was a lonely man sitting by himself getting himself hyped up that “she might care for me”.
If you take the theory that the Gargoyles are extensions of Quasimodo, then you can take it as "Self-Loathing: the Song" since it seems like try as his imagination might in making him feel better, it just shows his self-esteem is seriously low.
I actually remember making up a frame for a midquel that Disney should have done that would explain how the gargoyles came to life in his head, probably taking place when Quasimodo was around ten.
8:12 - Kill it with fire. 10:33 - Funny enough this movie was originally gonna be an adaptation of the Pied Piper, this cow hypnotizing plot point _(and thus this terrible song)_ is all that remains of that initial pitch. 12:05 - Oh Primus not this one.... 26:45 - Damn that Pocahontas one was pretty bad, how can it only be number two?! _"So Peter Pan was a movie made in the 1950s"_ Oh shit.
"Son of Man" explains those lyrics in the very next verse: "All these things will come to you in time." The verse you're complaining about simply means: "The power to be (considered as) strong, and the wisdom to be (considered as) wise." It just means that the things you lack and desire as a child, feeling that you're not good enough because you don't have them, you'll get them as you grow older. Don't get me wrong, "Home on the Range" is not a very good movie, at least in my opinion. However, the yodeling song does work better when you have context. There's a channel on RUclips where a guitar coach has been listening to all of the various Phoenix Wright soundtracks and giving his opinion on the compositions. Everybody has been saying that a lot of those songs would work better with even just a screenshot to show the context of when it would be played in-game. They aren't bad songs, but even they get an added layer when context is provided. The yodeling song is very much the same way.
Excuse me? 'Everybody wants to be a cat' is an absolute BANGER :) And 'Son of man' slaps pretty hard too. "The power to be strong and the wisdom to be wise" might seem like completely redundant lyrics, but they were intentionally written like that. The deeper meaning is that you not only need to posess those qualities, but you also need to put them to good use.
Yeah, it's definitely one of the most memorable songs from that film. Either that, or "I Got a Dream" . Also, just want to add on, the end credits song to Tangled, "Something That I Want", is an absolute banger that you should listen to if you have the time.
The real life Radcliffe was a lot more tolerant of the natives and they tore off his skin and burned him alive. Ironically, if he had the attitude of his fictional counterpart, he probably would’ve lived longer.
@@phlpcockrell cool when are the natives going to demand reparations from each other for the various tribes they killed and invaded Jesus Christ you'd think the natives were some singular monolithic culture the way people talk about them
I feel the same way about "The Morning Report." Of *all* the songs from the Broadway version, I would have preferred *anything* over "The Morning Report." Yes, even "Chow Down."
Gotta disagree with you on two entries -- Aristocats (I have a soft spot for that film) and "Savages". Yes, Pocahontas has aged poorly, no one disputes that. But I remember when it came out it got a lot of praise for NOT depicting Natives as stupid (yes, live action movies did it first, but it was rare for a cartoon). Also, do you _really_ think Disney Animation's A-Team didn't know color theory? Of course they did. Showing the English in red was the point.
pocahontas came out in the mid 90s, racial equality had at least been a concept in american media for a while at that point, you could argue it wasnt the most offensive thing they could have made but should there be a prize for mediocrity? i think the point about the color is that the visuals and the use of color theory clash with the films attempt to paint the conflict as 2 equal aggressors. its not that the people working on it didnt understand color theory, its that the use of color is discordant with the narrative itself. it makes it feel like the people who came up with the red/blue thing werent on the same page with the writers, which could potentially take someone out of the film if they were paying attention to that detail
@@breadpirateroberts4946 It's been awhile since I've seen the movie, but I recall some small bits of dialogue that make it pretty clear the film sees the English as the greater aggressor, not a tale of two equal aggressors. I've also heard Mel Gibson was able to wag the writers (e.g.: the real Captain Smith looked more like Ratliffe).
@@breadpirateroberts4946 Yeah I can understand the criticism of it But the song in of itself isn’t bad and has a pretty good beat. The color animation is well done though as well
Thank you for mentioning how bad “The Morning Report” is(I believe they did that because it’s in the musical adaptation); also I look forward to seeing you tear to shreds the dishonorable “live action remake” of Mulan
I'm not sure if he would review that, though. So far, the only remake he's devoted an entire review to was The Lion King, and that's only because despite what Disney wanted us to believe when it was first announced, that film is fully, 100% animated.
@@slashermaster28 Mulan is by far the absolute worst of the live action remakes At least for the others, I can find some enjoyment in them despite being far inferior and having many flaws But Mulan, there’s *NO* joy or anything good in it at *ALL* It literally stripped *EVERYTHING* of what made the 1998 film work so well
@@RB01.10 Such is what happens when your entire filmmaking process is being conducted under the watchful eye of Lord Jinping and his Most Excellent Communist Party, may they be forever praised and exalted. One tiny misstep, and there goes all that sweet Chinese cash.
I enjoy the song Savages, even with the on-the-nose lyrics. The thing about what you're saying about the sides being unequal might not hold water because the tribe has numbers and they know the territory better. Plus, the one guy they were preparing to execute was the only one who wanted to befriend them.
To be fair to the part where they explain how they became red it does at least sound like a native american story (from after they discovered other races of course). Up north there's stories of how a woman getting her fingers cut off created seals and whales after they fell into her water. And why did she get her fingers cut off? Because her dad was fed up with taking care of the wolfman babies she'd had. The rest of the song I'm definitely not a fan of but that part itself is fine by me. Also, I am a fan of Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo simply because of how ridiculous it is. The rest of the movie is pretty bland and this brings a shot of silly to it. The villains are honestly the only decent part of the movie (and even then they're not that good).
I do appreciate the fact, that although there was a Redman village you can go to in Birth By Sleep, they didn't show actual stereotypes being present as NPCs. And that is where you fight Vanitas as Aqua, without any racism outside of the battle throughout! Also the 'up north story' about that woman? It's the story of Sedna! Well you forgot the name of the title character so that's a stretch!
@@masterseal0418 let's also not forget that these are not Native Americans. They are from Neverland. You know a land of things that never existed. Hence the name Neverland
@@masterseal0418 i mean, i never understood why the village was there without the people? It was just a sorta... aesthetic nod to the movie, but its literally just an arena to beat up Vanitas. Like, the room could have been anything else?
I will admit that even though most Disney songs are good, even songs by Disney have their ups and downs i mean after all there's no such thing as the perfect song...but we like them anyway.
I liked "can you feel the love tonight"...and "son of man"...and the aristocats in general...and "what makes the red man red". Honestly, you should never hold older movies to modern standards, and you should never get offended on someone else's behalf. That's probably the most racist thing a person can do. I'm Cherokee...I like being represented in media. Even if it's poor representation, it's better than being ignored, and i've always thought the song was funny. I don't know any other Cherokee that were offended by it either. The white man has gotten too sensitive to tell good stories, and i'm more offended by that than anything else. "Savages" is a little bit different but i, at least, get what they were trying to do.
For me at least, it's not so much "getting offended on someone else's behalf," more just "this just doesn't feel right." Like, I have an appreciation for world war 2 propaganda cartoons, they're written and directed like any other cartoon from that series (looney tunes, popeye the sailor, silly simphonies) and if you remove the overt racism are really funny just like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fud or Popeye and Bluto, but the slap stick and humor is all directed at the war time enemy with the intention of making you think less about that group of people, and I would put the feeling more under "cringe" than "offended." Speaking of representation, have you seen the FX series Reservation Dogs? It's about a group of teens trying to save up enough money to move off their native American reservation and move out to California. I thought it was interesting.
@@catholiccontriversy they're more or less the same thing. If art in any form can make you feel uncomfortable, your skin is too thin and you're ruining everyone else's good time. Also, no i haven't seen it.
Ok, but mr enter doesn't judge it by modern standards. He acknowledged the time period it was in and the reason why it was there, but still stated it was wrong and it didn't age well: not in the 90's, not in the 2000's, and not now either. And it's not just mr enter being offended on the behalf of native Americans. Tons of people, native Americans included, find that song to be racist.
@@clericofchaos1 And you're apparently insensitive to many viewers' tastes. I wonder if you call anyone who doesn't want to watch Where the Dead Go To Die snowflakes.
Ah yes, the famous trolls song from Frozen. Anna is LITERALLY dying and all thoses creatures are doing is singing. Not only that, they sing about '' Leave the guy you want to marry for a guy you barely know like him. '' Good idea! It's not like she needs to be cured or saved no no! Just make Kristoff and her loosing their time with this song is the best thing to do. Geez i hate her XS
Honestly Savages is a really good song to me at least. It shows how people will dehumanize other races in order to justify their own prejudice. Also the Natives were not entirely peaceful as they warred with each other constantly. I have a degree in history and I studied this. The settlers were not the only source of conflict. In fact if the entire movie had been about this and was more historically accurate it would have been a great film.
Glad to hear your comment! Honestly, i am sick of the narrative being pushed nowadays about how “all native Americans were peaceful and the colonists ruined everything” that is especially prevalent in the academic world. Yes, colonialism may have its problems, but as you said, many natives warred with each other.
fun fact (depending on if you find it fun): the original line in Savages was "Their whole, disgusting race is like a curse." which actual flowed a lot better with the song. "Here's what you get when race's are diverse" was added in the 2000s home video releases to be more "Politically Correct" Despite none of Savages being Politically Correct in the first place, they also change the line "Dirty redskin devils" to "dirty shrieking devils" and "Let's go kill a few" to "let's go get a few" despite all other references to killing in the song not being changed. It's the same in Aladdin, the original line in Arabian Nights is "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." and they later changed it to "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense." the change is more obvious in Aladdin then it is in Pocahontas.
A lot of your early song choices (mainly 10 through 7) are pretty nitpicky, and feels forced onto the list to justify having a top 10 list. It's just scrutinizing individual lines and taking the songs too literally I suppose it is hard to review a song without doing that, but you didn't do it with the later song choices, so I don't really know. This is mainly the case of 10 and 9, and isn't as bad in 8 and 7 but is still present. I think having a top 5 list would have been way better, since the 10-7 (and kinda 6) don't fit in as well with the top 5. I get that these was your opinions and all, but they could have been criticized in a different manner rather than complaining about lyrics of specific lines in the song and taking them out of context. Also, the Aristocrat song pick was pretty weird. Yeah, it's a bad song, but as you said it's only a minute long. I'm sure there would have been a better pick than that. Another thing is calling everything about that movie shit without really elaborating much is kinda pushing the whole internet reviewer stereotype of "This game is completely awful, what were they thinking?", which is really something you should avoid. A bit of a tangent but oh well. Sorry if this was too critical, I just needed to say this. The other song choices felt justified and well explained without being too nitpicky and such. Also sorry for the wall of text, I originally imagined this comment being shorter in my head.
Yeah, though it his opinion and you're going to have to respect that, I will admit that a few of these do seem pretty nitpicky and forced in. A long time ago I was doing a top 10 worst cartoon characters list and I ran out of characters to add so I just started picking minor ones that weren't even in their respective media long enough to be considered the worst (don't ask me why I didn't just shorten it down to top five or something, I was like 11 years old and wanted to be the next Mr enter) luckily I never published the video because even I realized how forced some of the choices were.
Shouldnt have to apologize for being "too critical" when the tone of the video is this aggro towards songs, especially when he seems to at times ignore/not acknowledge the thematic purpose of the song
@@Swordish That's a flaw with a lot of his videos. He gets very aggressive and ends up seeing problems that aren't there. His Total Dramarama review had that problem. He clearly hated it so much that he didn't pay attention to the story and didn't understand parts that were explicitly explained. I think this kind of thing happened here. I don't think every line in Son of Man has a problem. It's a growing up montage where Tarzan has to learn to be a skilled gorilla when he isn't a gorilla at all and has to find other ways to simulate.
That ain't a wall of text bro, that's a pretty moderate size, the paragraph spacing makes it look bigger than it is. Trust me I'm quite the windbag once I get going and I've seen how insane comments can get. Yours doesn't even register on that scale, and that's a good thing.
Maybe because i saw it on Latinamerican spanish but "Yodel Adle Eddle Idlee" sounds amazing there, IIRC the singer/VA does indeed know how to properly Yodel, and if i recall correctly that version of pure yodeling was used in other dubs.
I need to say something about the both siding thang. Saying it wasn't a mutual conflict is true, but is kind of misleading. The way people talk about it makes it sound like the Native Americans never did anything wrong. Like the colonist walked in and boom trail of tiers. Yes they where out guned and typically weren't aggressors they could be just as cruel as the colonist. People don't talk about this but they had slavery, torcher, all other atrocities you could thank of. I'm not saying that what the colonist did was right, and if you thank I'm saying that than you don't understand what the term "as cruel as" and "typically weren't aggressors". What I'm saying is that when we talk like this we forget that there where reasons this happened. Everyone knows of custer's last stand, now look up what the Sioux and Cheyenne did to his body. Now imagine if you where only told bad thangs about native Americans all your life then that happened. Most people say now that they'd be different, but your as human as any colonist or native American, and if you thank your speshal you need to reevaluate your life. Anyone saying thade be different are the people who would be making the map for the trail of tiers.
Well put, but there's enough typos in there that it is genuinely kinda hard to read. If you get the chance you should edit it because you phrase it most excellently and I don't want that to get dismissed due to spelling mistakes.
"Blue is a calming color" the words spoken as the background in the video is blue while he's ranting about the negatives of a song with the character being drawn with fuming red anger...
The most frustrating part about Kenis' confession is that I saw the original deleted scene and it's 10x better than the one we got. And it got cut for a Phil Collins song.
I think it was cut for two reasons : We already kind of saw Koda telling the story and unknowingly revealing to Kenai what actually happened so it would’ve been a bit redundant to hear it again This may be more of my personal opinion, but I think it worked better leaving it up to our imagination of what exactly Kenai was saying. Well we know what it was about, but not exactly *how* he said it. Just having “It’s about a bear and monster” with Koda replying “I don’t like this story” followed by Kenai’s “Your mother’s not coming” I feel worked much better by having less
is the myth of the noble savage so deeply ingrained that any attempt to portray historical conflicts between natives and settlers with any amount of nuance is to be decried as awful and ""problematic""?
No, it's that the movie was trying to say both sides were equally at fault when in reality, the Europeans were invading, pushing them off their land, killing and enslaving them, etc. The Native Americans were defending their homes and many did go too far because it felt hopeless but the fact doesn't change that they were being uprooted from everything they had known by empires that just wanted resources and money, going so far as to making and breaking countless treaties. It's not hard to see why the Natives felt they couldn't trust them. Not because they were "different" but because they had been hurt countless times before and would be many times later.
@@huntergraham702 a simple yes would have sufficed then I understand it's hard to let go of that 3rd grade interpretation of making it into a clear cut black and white "the evil white man killed those noble defenseless natives" modern narrative but perhaps consider as another commenter pointed out the historical John Ratcliffe who was skinned alive and burned while trying to negotiate for food for the starving colony or that the conflicts in the movie began with what amounted to the natives raiding and pillaging the colonists for refusing to be effectively subsumed as satilites to pretend Powhatan were not at minimum mutual combatants, if not instigators in that conflict is historically false, emotionally infantile and insulting to the historical truth by bulldozing it with sanitized bullshit
#10: This is a song that gets up tripped up over its message and gets ahead of itself. It's means to say that we shouldn't be afraid to fail, just keep trying until you get it right. But the way the song carries itself shows the wrong way of doing it. If we just keep trying and then decide to "do it all over again" we haven't really learned anything. #9: I still like this song, but the lyrics are pretty literal. I think it's meant to be a montage song, hinting at Tarzan's personal journey as he alone must learn how to survive and become accepted by the gorillas. #8: Actually, "Morning Report" was originally from the Broadway musical adaptation of the film (in which Samuel E. Wright a.k.a Sebstain famously portrayed Mufasa). And Zazu's singing is done by Jeff Bennett. Simba's singing was done by a different VA because his original VA had grown too old and couldn't do the high notes. Maybe it sounds better on Broadway. #7: I have no idea what this song is or what it's supposed to be about. It's just a bunch of random yodeling with no lyrics or context. #6: Easily the only part of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" that didn't need to be there. #5: Classic case of "Show, Don't Tell". #4: I guess this song works for what it's supposed to be in context: A piano lesson for kids. But it's done a little too well in that regard. #3: Had a feeling this song would be on the list. Not a good message you wanna send to *ANYONE*. I again get the intention: No one's perfect and you shouldn't be looking for a "Prince Charming", but you've gotta have some standards. This is the kind of thing that could actually lead to what people accuse "Beauty and the Beast" of supporting even though it doesn't. #2: Can you really call this a villain song when Governor Radcliffe is only partially involved in it? This song, like the movie, tries to claim both sides are at fault. But it commits a very big sin when both sides can apparently talk to each other just fine, yet the most we see is Pochaontas and John Smith on their own while neither of their leaders know anything about it. If they did, this might give the song more narrative weight. #1: Even by 1950's standards I'd argue this song was offensive, but in a low effort kind of way. It's a pretty forgettable song and I don't think it contributes anything to the narrative since the important conversation doesn't happen until after it's done.
Bruh, try everything is literally so good, it fits so well to the character of hopps and how well the process of learning and failing is a never ending cycle that keeps making you a better person.
As racist as What made the red man red’s lyrics are, I still really like the tune. It’s lively, upbeat, and fun sounding. As much as it is obviously insensitive, I can’t really fault it for being fun to listen to.
The conflict between Native Tribes and Settlers was a lot more nuanced than some portray it. There was a mutual agreement that they had to wipe each other out. Natives used to kill other Natives before a European man even arrived in America. That said, I think it's best to not demonize either side too much. They were human, and as humans had a tribal preference for their own kind. We have sought to overcome such tribalism. I believe we've succeeded.
I can live with this list and I can even respect it. HOWEVER, I can't forgive you for making me remember the heartbreak of Todd and Widow Tweed saying goodbye. How dare you sir!
That is definitely one of the most soul crushing scenes in all of Disney Between no words being spoken and Todd not even understanding what or why it was happening.
I did some research on the Lion King recently. Turns out Simba had a different voice actor they decided not to keep. The Simba in the Morning Report is voiced by the ex-VA.
Are you on something. I See the Light is one of the more beloved songs from Tangled even if it is a slow love song. Hell I heard it sung as a duet at a church once.
In the context of the movie, I honestly think The Troll Song is the worst. Because if you haven't seen the movie in a while, this dong happens after Elsa accidentally blasts Anna with her ice powers, causing Anna to get colder and eventually freeze. In other words, she is literally dying. Why the hell would you put a happy musical number here? Not to mention, the moment the song ends, the film immediately goes back to super-serious mode about her condition.
I will say that Bellweather being the twist villain makes sense considering her name is "Bellweather," which is what you call the sheep that wears the bell and leads the flock around, but the fact that you need to know *shepherd* terminology to get why a character is a twist villain is a bit out there, yeah. Anyway, opinions on the choices! 10 - Honestly, I liked Try Everything, but it's very much just a standard 2010s pop song. The lyrics are also *so* bland. I will say that you're harping too much on the fact that the song allows for failure without focusing on the fact that it's not a song about succeeding, it's a song about letting go of your apprehensions and continuing even though you've failed so many times before. 9 - I have never seen Tarzan so... Also why does the shot of Tarzan climbing the mountain look like Doofenshmirtz? 8 - I've never heard this??????? 7 - The fact that this is on this list is confusing. Just because this is ABSOLUTELY hilarious to watch. 6 - Never watched this movie, to be honest. 5 - Never watched it either. 4 - Blasphemy against Aristocats, immediately unsubscribed /j In all seriousness I love this movie, I don't care what you have to say. 3 - ROCK TROLLS ARE TERRIBLE 2 - This is *So* weird to hear about after not watching it for so long. 1 - ... Oh.
The only reason I even watched home on the range is that song..and the fact a coworker kept singing it. The only thing you need to know is the yodeling slimm (?) is pretty much the pied piper for cows
Yeah, after what he said at the end of 3, I KNEW the Red Man song would be there. Because it is one of the most poorly aged songs in all of Disney. And on top of that, it doesn't really help that events of the song seem to directly mess with the romantic subplot (such that it exists) for no real reason. Like, yeah, its a product of his time. But Mr Enter admitted right then and there at the end of 3 that, yes, the remaining songs would be ones that aged poorly.
I always thought her name was a reference to a Bellwether state- a state that can change electorate within an election cycle or could go either way in an election. (Referencing a political / political science subject since she's a mayor.) I did not know that there was another use of that term!
Some context for morning report: this was released in 2003 and the singing voice for Simba isn’t the same one from the movie and that actually isn’t Rowan Atkinson,it’s Jeff Bennett. Also it’s Lucasfilm not Lucasarts(thought that was apart of Lucasfilm)
I stand by your opinion on the last song since, to quote a phrase people REALLY need to learn, "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it." History is ugly, there's no way around it; if you censor history and actively try to forget it, you're quite literally dooming yourself to repetition, and, as such, if you're refusing to learn from your mistakes, then sympathy is the last thing you deserve. Not sure if it was intentional to have the first song and the last song in this countdown line up so poetically in that respect, but it sure seemed that way to me. And...yeah...I remember literally nothing about Home On The Range aside from...whatever the fuck that pale imitation of "Pink Elephants on Parade" was about. :/
Yeah I remember renting “Home on the Range” as a kid soon after it came out from Blockbuster and being so damn bored by it. I saw it again years later on TV and my opinion still hasn’t changed. Was still very forgettable
I remember actually mixing up Son of Man with Strangers Like Me as a kid, and - that's Son of Man? Really? Also, I regret watching Home on the Range too. I had bad taste back in 2004. The movie is disjointed. The movie is weird. Sweatin' Bullets was its original title, with undead cattle rustlers, and it would have been way better than it. Also, don't worry about Frozen. Everyone thinks the Trolls are annoying and the song adds nothing to the movie. My #1 would be Mother Knows Best however, because after listening to it again it's not really a great song and its badness is entirely due to the instrumentals behind Donna Murphy's singing. Literally, take the instrumentals out of the song and just have her sing to Rapunzel and it would be ten times creepier - but no, we have these annoying loud trumpets and wind instruments taking out the sense of overall villainy. The reprise is a little scarier before she turns full Batman at the end.
I've always had a soft spot for Pocahontas. I know it's not a good movie and is offensively historically inaccurate but there's something about it I just can't put my finger on, it captivated me as a kid.
I don’t mind the movie as long as you’re not watching it like a historical accurate movie and one of those “alternate history” movies ie something like The Watchmen or 300 (sorry if I can’t think of better examples other than Synder films). I just find it funny that Disney banked on Pocahontas being the main movie of 1994 and NOT The Lion King but that’s more of a hindsight thing
@@redstreak9430 it sounds laughable in hindsight. I love Pocahontas but it’s hilarious to think they thought that would be the big money maker and it ended up being The Lion King
@@MatthewChenault Yeah I think the nature aesthetic is one of the things I've always liked about it. The environment and the way the leaves move in the wind when Pocahontas is following her heart. It stood out when most of the Disney movies when I first watched it were in a royal setting and a big palace.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is also my favorite Disney movie and soundtrack and I strongly dislike A Guy Like You for pretty much all the reasons you mentioned, but I have to admit the "since you're shaped like a croissant is" line makes me laugh every time due to the sheer ridiculousness of it all. It's legitimately one of the most unintentionally funny moments in the entire Disney catalog.
The Yodeling Song? I think it looks good. The plot behind it is apparently, that's the villain singing and he rustles cattle by singing to them. Kind of like a Pied Piper of Cattle.
I remember listening to "the Morning Report" before, and afterwards I never heard it in the movie again, I thought for the longest time it was a fever dream song that I heard... yikes
I wasn’t even aware of it until I got the Special Edition DVD many years ago (I was like “what?! This wasn’t on my VHS!” LOL). I don’t think it was on any other version though thankfully 😅 It *IS* pointless and doesn’t really add anything. Was glad it was cut in the original
Gotta disagree with number 9 "Son of Man" is a song about proving yourself against everyone's expectations, which as a fellow Aspie really hit home for me back in 2019 while I was finishing Grad School, coupled with trying to get out of a dead-end job that paid peanuts and systematically robbed me of my ability to be a decent/functioning human being (Amazon). Particularly, the line about the time coming for you to claim the things you dream/the visions hit me like a freight train seeing as how I wasn't graduating so much as the school was looking to properly wash their hands of us Grad Students (the MA History program was being defunded/shut down) and that knowledge really killed my drive to teach History at a college level. I was getting my degree, but on top of tuition, the cost was getting the kind of burn out you get upon realizing that your dreams only get less and less lofty as you "grow up". Also 11:20 is "Ode to Joy". Maybe whoever wrote "Joyful Joyful we adore thee" jacked the melody, but that's Beethoven's Ode to Joy being yodeled.
I never liked Fixer Upper, but I think my biggest problem with Frozen was the fact that I grew up with the story it was based on, The Ice Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. I was hoping for a big, epic, beautifully animated adaptation of that story I loved as a kid, but that wasn’t what I got. I remember how I imagined that scene early on, when Kai, who’s been acting out of character since the Snow Queen started freezing his heart, is taken away by her on a sleigh on a dark snowy night. His childhood friend, Gerda, sees this and chases after them, worried about her friend. She has to save him, but on foot, she can’t keep up, and sees them disappear into the dark snowy forest ahead. Imagine how awesome it’d be to see this animated by Disney! It’s about a girl going on an adventure to save someone she loves, not just physically but emotionally, because a frozen heart in the book doesn’t kill you, it renders you dead inside, unable to feel or even remember love or happiness, unable to even see beauty in the world around you. It’s essentially a magical depression that can only be healed with love. I can’t be the only one who thinks that would’ve made for an awesome Disney film, right? I can’t be the only one who thinks it’d be better than Frozen, right?!
Huh, I just felt - oh, well that's America's problem. For other countries native americans are so foreign that they might as well be pirates or mermaids. Harsh, definitely, but you have to remember that America is not the centre of the world.
@@purpleguy319 Just a little fact that people tend to forget: Peter Pan the novel is British. One of the most well known novels to come from Britain even. I have never read the book but I have to guess that the Native people described as living in NeverLand probably didn't look or act like that either in the source material.
I'm sorry but having son of man from Tarzan on the list because you don't like the lyrics when they're explaining to Tarzan that he's not going to become the strong and intelligent king of the jungle that's accepted by his dad overnight but that it's going to be a long and difficult path but not having the song where all the apes are just trashing the camp is beyond me.
I honestly love Scales and Arpeggios (and also the Aristocats, so) I mean, yeah the voices are cutesy but...They're kids? They're supposed to sound like that??? It did what it tried to do, and I kinda feel like you were expecting something else, and I don't know what it was.
Fixer-upper was the first one I thought of, I hate it. These are Kristof's "love experts" and line after line is just awful ideas and advice and steamrolling both Kristof and Anna. And I've personally been the object of matchmaking that had zero chance of happening, so no amount of "good intentions" from the trolls lands for me. It would have made a much better scene if they were protective of Kristof and suspicious of Anna and came around during the visit.
Fun Fact: When my English class covered depictions of Native Americans in fiction, they used "What Makes the Red Man Red" as an example of how we interpreted them back in the day (and how far we've come). I do agree that scenes like this shouldn't be censored or removed, as: A. I am already against censorship. B. Scenes like these should be kept to show how far we've come since then, and for potential educational purposes.
Yodel-Adle-Eddie-Idle-O is a pretty good song, especially compared to the other voiceover songs in that movie. The context of the movie is that the yodelling guy is trying to get as much land and as many cows as possible for his own wealth, and he has the power to hypnotize cows. The song is nice to listen to and does a good job of explaining this ability.
Tangled’s “I See The Light” is a certified classic, and I know a lot of others who agree with that sentiment. Idk why you say that it doesn’t get as much love as the others.
I always thought "I've Got A Dream" was the weak link. I know, it's catchy, but it kinda comes out of nowhere and is a bit too silly for me personally.
Huge nitpick on the tarzan one. and you said yourself you cant be wise without wisdom, thats why he needs wisdom to be wise because without wisdom he would not be wise.
You look at some of these songs in a literal sense. Son of Man and Try Everything are big examples of songs that on the surface sound like they hold no real meaning beneath the words but they do. Son of Man is about Tarzan's growth and how all the things that will make him a man will come to him in time, it won't be instantaneous and it takes a lot of patience and a lot of determination. Try Everything is about accepting the fear of failure in everything you try to find success in, but you need to try in spite of the failure until you achieve success.
What makes "No Way Out" worse is that, among the deleted scenes for Brother Bear, there is indeed a deleted scene for the conversation between Kenai and Koda regarding the former killing the latter's mother. No Phil Collins song, just the revelation of the truth and the emotions that come from the characters' conversation. The sheer fact that this was deleted in favor of a Phil Collins song narrating what's happening is just... disheartening.
I had to look up the deleted scene and I think it was better than the final version. Which sucks because it felt like an honest conversation between two people and a proper confession
That was the _only_ problem I had with _Brother Bear. That_ one was a favorite of mine since I was about seven.
Personally, if there HAD to be a song right there, I would've done something ambiatic. A little like what they did during Sitka's funeral. Ya know?
agreed.
Yeah the deleted version is extremely powerful, to the point of being genuinely uncomfortable, which works for the moment narratively but I guess not for focus groups
The Yodelling song is actually really funny in context because the villain is played up as some dangerous cow rustler who steals livestock for a living, and of course the opening shot intentionally misdirects you into thinking he's picked up a gun, before he turns it slightly to reveal the guitar. Also his obsession with yodelling is actually a really good running gag too. He has an amazing moment where one of his henchman insinuates that someone didn't like his singing, and his (paraphrased here) response is great. "Singing? Birds sing. Little children SING, boy... I YODEL! And yodelling.... IS AN ART!" Also it's genuinely good yodelling so it's fun to listen to.
Fun fact, in a way he was right about Yodel being an art, turns out that when other countries where dubbing the movie they had problems with the Yodel part son they had to use the Yodel from the original version or the Mexican dub for their own dubs
Literally this. The villian song is only actualy fun part of the movie.
It's literally just the Pied Piper with classic Disney Acid Sequence visuals. Love it.
@@goldenhorse4823 I kinda disagree. I liked the movie as a whole. It was certainly one of Disney's better direct-to-video movies that wasn't a sequel, and I actually didn't have a problem with the story.
However, yes. I feel because of how funny he is, Slim is one of the most underrated Disney Villains of all time.
It's not a perfect movie by any means, but comparing to Chicken Little, Mars Needs Moms, and every Live-action Remake besides 101 Dalmatians, I would much rather watch Home on the Range.
I remember what he said mostly. Lol
"My singing?!!" 🤨
*All the Willy brothers gasp*
"Song birds sing! 😠 Saloon gals sing! 😠 Little itty-bitty snot-nosed children... SING!!!! 😡 I YODEL, AND YODELING IS AN ART!!!!!!!!"😤
Disagree with a few of these, but I'm gonna focus on Son of Man. A lot of the problem with this song is due to misinterpreting the lyrics.
"The power to be strong and the wisdom to be wise."
Problem with this lyric? Probably because you're missing the most important part.
"All these things will come to you in time."
A child can not truly obtain strength because their body isn't fully developed, aka too weak. It will become more powerful as they age which will allow them to become strong. A child also doesn't fully understand wisdom because they haven't had enough experience to even know what that is. They will get wiser as they age to actually understand the concept of wisdom, which they can then pursue. Not having these things can be very frustrating when growing up, but they are both something that come inevitably with aging, aka, with time. (The lyrics could also be interpreted metaphorically, but I don't think that's the interpretation Phil was going for).
The point of the first set of lyrics is to say that the child will have frustrations with trying to become an adult, but eventually they will reach their goal. That's why it ends with Phil saying "You will climb the mountain. You will reach the peak." It's a moment of encouragement, introducing the atmosphere of the song before diving into the chorus. The entire song is meant to encourage a child who is struggling with becoming an adult.
"Son of man look to the sky.
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you will walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time you'll be"
means...
Child, hold your head up and be happy. Some day, you'll become the adult you want to be.
Hey shady! I’ve never watched a few of these but you got some good explanations and I hope mr enter reads then.
Indeed
Surprised to see you here, Shady.
yeah but just cuz you're a grownup doesn't mean you're gonna be hella wise. (insert political joke here) wisdom's more of a combination of experience and age, not just age
Well said, Shady. Well Said.
Honestly, I think "Try Everything"'s message is empowering in a way. We as a society fear failure, but he shouldn't. Failing to the only way to learn. Let's face it. You're gonna fail, and you're gonna fail again, but that's ok! Essentially, the message is don't feel bad if you make mistakes. Try new things, and, even if you make mistakes, that's just progress. Your first attempt at something IS going to suck no matter what, but the more you try, the more you improve
Plus isn't the proverb that true failure is when you stop trying?
Agreed, it's a more honest empowerment song. The line "new mistakes" is basically to say you shouldn't make the same mistakes, but that you might make new mistakes but you should keep trying despite knowing you might fail...which is honestly what stops MOST people from even trying in the first place, as said the fear of failure is systemic in modern society and holds a lot of people back.
@@benjaminbierley2074 you make a really good point about new mistakes vs same mistakes. Making new mistakes is improvement, while making same mistakes is stagnation
I hope you're right on that, because after seeing this video, I feel like my love for this song is unjustified.
@@meta527II your love for ANYTHING will never be unjustified. Mr enter just presented his opinion, and you have yours. Both of them have equal value. Just because Mr enter has a larger audience doesn't negate that. Also, there are many readings for art, songs included, so you can have whatever reading you want as long as you support it with evidence from the art
To add to your Brother Bear part of the video, they almost DID just have the characters talk to each other in the final cut. You can even see the deleted scene on the home releases fully storyboarded and voiced by the actors but they scrapped it after kids in the test audience got scared/thought it was too dark which is why we get the halfhearted compromise in the final cut. It’s a real shame because Joaquin Phoenix did a fantastic job with the scene as it actually sounded like he was going to breakdown in tears during the process, which considering he’s a method actor, could have very well been the case. So it’s most likely they either asked Phil to write a thematically appropriate song or they pulled one of the bonus credits/soundtrack songs and reused it there. Either way, that’s why the song and that scene come off so awkwardly.
Today I learned that Kenai was voiced by the Joker . . .
We saw that whole story not five minutes before that point. It would be redundant to hear his entire confession.
@@bolbyballinger I know. Crazy right? I never knew it was him until he was announced to be in Joker.
@@MrChaotic4 fair point. Maybe they could have trimmed the conversation up a bit to get to the point/the emotional confession and then had the song play a bit when Koda ran away from Kenai.
@@sarahtelles1957 more accurately the test audience did supposedly.
I honestly love the message in Try Everything. It teaches acceptance rather than blind positivity, and reminds us that failure is okay as long as we try again the next day. It’s okay to have bad days and it’s okay to not be perfect. And that’s empowering and realistic on its own. Owning your own bad days and having confidence despite them is it’s own form of positivity.
It’s not your average empowerment anthem but it’s honestly more important and real than most of them.
Yes I was like “wtf?!” during MrEnter’s “analysis”… Try Everything isn’t really my type of song, but the lyrics *are* actually very empowering. Idk, as someone who’s scared to try literally anything cause I know I’ll fail, it’s actually refreshing to hear a song tell you “I’ll try again and again, and even then, I might still fuck up. It’s okay though!”
Now listening to Enter on Phil Collins’s song for Tarzan, I think he is totally unable to take lyrics at anything other than face value. Which is a bit irksome.
I agree.
@@etherealsky7078 Remember, John is an Aspie. His brain is wired differently. My guess is certain songs just get his hackles up. The Phil Collins Tarzan songs are bad, but not for their lyrics. It's because they're non-diagetic, something rarely seen in Disney movie songs before then. A great example of a diagetic song during a growing-up montage is "Hakuna Matata". And yes, I also disagree with his conclusion about "Try Everything"
@@Soufriere84 dude. You can think Mr enter is wrong without trying to "link" it to his autism. It's honestly kind of creepy trying to "analyze" his mind like you're a nature documentary trying to analyze the behavior of wildlife. Mr enter is an adult capable of forming opinions and rational decisions , and his Autism doesn't change that fact. Also, people can dislike things for different reasons. While Im not really bothered by the lyrics enter talked about in the tarzan song, it doesn't mean he's "disliking it for the wrong reasons"

Well said! Part of why I think Inazuma Eleven is a great Japanese anime/game franchise is that the Raimon teams, both in the original series and in GO (we didn’t get Ares or Orion here in Europe) are not perfect. Mark Evans needed to take different approaches to pull of his saving moves (or hissatsu if you’re a subs not dubs person), Jack Wallside, the defender, is a coward but he had to get over his fear of heights in order to do the Inazuma Drop move with striker Axel Blaze. In Inazuma Eleven GO (the 10 years later sequel series), we see that not only are Raimon, with their new squad, still a top team, but they don’t win all the time! In the finals the year before, they lost 2-1 to Kirkwood Jr High, a school also famous for their soccer team! Had Raimon won every Soccer Fronteir/Saints Way tournament since Evans and his team did, they wouldn’t have been as interesting!
The original deleted scene of Kenai’s confession is so much better. This one cuts the song and actually shows and reveals as Kenai shows gratitude to Koda for helping guide him and learn how to live as a bear before confessing that that because of him, he will never get to see his mom again. If they had either cut the song completely or saved it for after Koda runs away, it would’ve been better.
I remember seeing that on the DVD and it was a really powerful scene, I don't know why filmmakers keep cutting out good scenes because they think it's "too dark", like if a guy can kill a bear and the whole movie will be about him having to confess that, then you'd think we'd actually hear him confess it!
The original technically didn't cut the song since they still had it, just a shorter part and after the conversation had concluded. If they had done that and kept the full version for the credits, boom, best of both worlds.
I agree because they actually put the song in after he told Koda that he killed his mom in the deleted version. It would have been better if they stuck with the deleted version.
I believe the filmmakers put the song over Kenai's confession because the audience just saw how he killed Koda's mom, so they didn't think we needed to hear him explain it.
@@rjd-kh8et True but he just said that he killed her in the deleted version, he didn't say how he did it.
I personally liked Son of Man because it was about Tarzan learning and developing, and showed how he was thinking differently than his adoptive gorilla family. I get that the lyrics are pretty simple, but you might have missed the lyrics right after those, where it's said that Tarzan will eventually become greater. But I get why you wouldn't like it.
I agree with the other choices, and also am glad you mentioned The Color of Friendship. That's a good movie.
Its one of the best songs in the movie. Mr Enter is completely tasteless
@@HolsovanUltimate
Hey, chill out man. People don't have to like everything. I get his points, I just appreciate the song anyway.
@@HolsovanUltimate tottally agree
Phil Collins gets a lot of guff like this all the time. See the Brother Bear song. For me, "Son of Man" is up there with "Go The Distance" for my favorite Disney songs. And that's not even touching a lot of their famous villain songs, like "Be Prepared", "Hellfire", and "Let it Go". (What? I'm right.)
@@draketheduelist
I can understand the anger at the Brother Bear song because it basically interrupts what is supposed to be an emotional moment. The song is just fine, but the timing is horrible, especially considering there is a deleted scene where Kenai actually speaks through it and it is so much more impactful.
In my personal opinion, I felt that "Try Everything" was not saying "you're going to fail!" or "you will keep failing!" but that failing or making mistakes are a learning process and will lead to eventual success with words such as "I wont give up, no I wont give in!" and "try again!".
Basically, that not everyone's perfect and that it's ok if you didnt get something right the first time, but that even if you may not be successful immediately should still try anyway.
Hence the word "Try Everything!"
Agreed
And for me, it was the song I replayed the most in March 2016 (6 years already! Where does the time go 😱) after seeing the film not long after being on the mend after getting suddenly sick with Ulcerative Colitis and ending up in the hospital a few times that year. In fact, I feel the film as a whole will always have a special place in my heart.
I’m fine now, but yet I feel the film helped me though that difficult time
Yeah same
Fun fact: Pocahontas and Lion King were being worked on simultaneously and Pocahontas was seen as the Golden Child project, with all the best animators working on it and people wanting to jump Lion ship to join the project. That's why Pocahontas does at least have arguably better animation than the Lion King. The studio thought it was going to be the breakaway hit and that the Lion King was basically just a space filler.
Wait fr???

Yep. This is very true, even though The Lion King is better in every way.

@@RoninCatholic I mean we have a lot of documents and proof the settlers were assholes. The both sides it tries is such bullshit.
I mean it sounds nice but this....is just a yikes.
If the lyrics are on the nose now, you should probably listen to the version on the Pocahontas soundtrack. Hoo boy some of the lyrics were heavy with racism on the settlers' verse!
The blunt and cheesy lyrics are not so blunt and cheesy nowadays.
I kept hearing racist remarks like that from my family and other people who have a distaste towards black people and Chinese people (I am not black but I am quarter-Chinese and both me and my mother have experienced racism for being Chinese).
Our local soap operas here in the Philippines also outright promote and endorse racism, sexism, homophobia, and all other kinds of prejudice with using actual slurs and remarks even more extreme than "They're not like you or me, which means they must be evil". The local soap operas outright state that black people are subhuman, cursed and deformed people, or demons who are always chaotic evil.
Bigotry is extremely prevalent in Filipino culture and things need to change.
And going on Twitter (aka. descending to the depths of Hell) will reveal to you much more extreme remarks than that.
I think "Savages" is an awesome song.
It perfectly shows and highlights the villains personality, how far he is willing to go to manipulate his own men after the incident with their comrade (i forgot all their names, haven't watched the movie in a long long time) and what kind of vile rhetoric he is using to get the troop into a killing mood against a people which, if i remember correctly, they tried to coexist with, however shaky the foundations were of that either way. It oozes with evil, shows the disdain those people have for each other after what happened and climaxes the conflict incredibly well. Cultural insensitivities and historical accuracy nonwithstanding.
Yeah, it's honestly one of my favorite Disney songs and it works well for a "both sides" movie.
The issue really is that this wasn't the best topic to "both sides".
in a vacuum savages is fine????? i feel like it's a standard villain song to be honest. but outside of the vacuum, both sidesing the issue of colonization is hilarious at best and insensitive as all hell at worst.

@@CassidyShadewing Obviously looking too much at the little details and not trying to look for the big picture. I get it's just the way his brain works and so does mine, but he could try harder. I do.
I have to disagree with the remark along the lines of "Racists don't actually talk like that" you made in regards to Savages because a long time ago, (Like in the early 1600s) they DID voice their racism rather openly and in a rather hostile way, ESPECIALLY if they were talking about non-christians who they were going to go to war with. Its not at all pretty and its very ugly and blatant, but because of that it feels more real to the period. I feel like what lets savages down is much more the color theory thing and the weak side of the song for the natives. As for the "Well only one side has guns!" statement, the Jamestown Massacre was a real event in which warriors of the Powhatan Confederacy killed 347 settlers in Virginia, a quarter of the colony's population, and then destroyed crops and livestock leading to the starvation of a further 500, leaving only 180 survivors. So yeah "Only one side had guns", but you have to remember a gun is only a threat when its loaded, readied, and aimed at you, and hostilities between natives and settlers were almost never as black and white as plain constant open warfare. Iunno, just came off as dismissive of the native warriors and the fact that they WERE tained warriors, even if they were using inferior weaponry.
I'll add onto that first statement and say that racists absolutely talk like that even now.
Actually, I'm not sure about racists, but Christians GENUINELY talk like that. Everyone who doesn't believe in their god is an immoral monster or something ridiculous like that.
@@eymed2023 *Some Christians. Just like how it's true that only Some Racists talk blatantly about their racism. Only difference is there's good christians, but I don't think its possible for there to be good racists.

If I recall correctly, "Morning Report" was written for The Lion King broadway musical, and was added to the movie after the success of "Human Again" in Beauty and the Beast.
I'll never get why Morning report made it in when the other Broadway song "He lives in you" is far superior and ended up on the sequel. That was a song worthy of being in the first one.
Even the addition of “Human Again” is a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, I am glad that after a decade directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise were finally able to put the song in the film as was originally intended considering this was the song that originally covered the growing relationship between Belle and Beast, there was no “Something There”, and they had to take it out because the timeline represented in the original version of the song was very confusing as it had verses suggesting the passage of time like Fall ending and Winter arriving and put in the shorter and more direct song “Something There”. It is great that they managed to solve the issue and find a more appropriate place to put the song without confusing the timeline.
But on the other hand, I do feel like the song works better in the Broadway show than it does in the film. By having “Human Again” between “Something There” and “Beauty and the Beast” and coming shortly after “Something There” and before “Beauty and the Beast”, it does feel cluttered like there’s too many songs compared to the Broadway musical where there’s already a lot of newer songs in addition to the already existing ones from the film, so it doesn’t feel as cluttered there. Also in the Broadway, you had a break from Belle, Beast and the servants in the castle to go back to Gaston and Lefou in the village bribing Monsieur D’Arque to lock Belle’s father up in his asylum in part of Gaston’s scheme to force Belle to marry him through the song “Mason de Lunes” and then a cut back to the castle and some dialogue between Beast and his servants helping him to overcome his anxiety before the big dance with Belle. In the Special Edition, there is no break from the characters in the castle after “Human Again”, as we cut to the preparation before the ballroom dance and it’s much shorter compared to the Broadway musical. So it does give the feeling we’re jumping from one song to another to another without any form of break for dialogue or a new location change focusing on what is going on with the other important characters during the timeline of events. Also, the song feels pointless because we already have “Something There” to covey the growing relationship between Belle and Beast. Sure, “Human Again” does convey the servants’ desire to become, well, human again. But their verse in “Something There” does already convey that in a way. Also several times throughout the film, we’ve already seen and know the servants’ desire to become human again, so we don’t need the song to convey that.
Also, I do think the film still flows very well without the song. I watched the film on Disney+ in honor of its 30th anniversary and the song wasn’t included. So it’s proof that the film can still survive without the song.
While, the reinsertion of “Human Again” into the film isn’t bad, overall it just doesn’t feel necessary and works better in the stage show. Although I am glad Disney didn’t go the George Lucas route and have the song be permanently in all releases of the film. They do give you options to watch the film with or without the song.
@@yotsubafanfan To be fair, "He Lives In You" kind of would have dragged that whole section of the movie out, which damages pacing during a crucial moment late in the film. At least "Morning Report" is brief and in the first act.

Agreed
I’m glad Phil Collins won the Oscar for it as well
Though his work on Brother Bear four years later is what really got me into him (I was only 4 when Tarzan came out so I really couldn’t fully appreciate it a lot until later on)
I think you missed the point of the Tarzan song. The next line after those first two lines is 'all these things will come to you in time'. Phil Collins is saying Tarzan will eventually acquire power and wisdom and be strong and wise. He doesn't have those qualities yet, but he shouldn't worry, because all these things will come to him in time. Also, the line about 'visions and dreams' just stands for ambitions - not any SPECIFIC ambition, just all the things he dreamed of, the visions that he saw. Whatever they may be.
Likewise, in 'Scales and Arpeggios', the whole point is that they're singing and playing badly - they're the equivalent of little kids having a piano lesson (in one case, against their will), it's pretty much a given that it's going to suck. Part of the joke is that Marie is convinced she DOESN'T suck, and is a really good singer - again, like most real little girls who get encouraged to sing and play at an early age. The movie is precisely poking fun at that, and at moms who want their kids to do that sort of thing and be good at it at like age 5.
Also, am I the only one that never minded the Gargoyles? ESPECIALLY the 'fat, stupid one'? How can you not like a stumpy sentient stone statue with the voice of George Costanza?
Also also, agreed about 'Morning Report', even though by the criteria you laid out, it IS kind of cheating. I never could watch the Special Edition version of The Lion King - the movie is much better without that extra scene in it. Good on you for putting respect on TLK II's soundtrack as well (VERY underrated set of songs) though I don't know about better than the original. I'd go with 'almost as good as'.

I was surprised that the sequels weren't included. I never considered them non-canon. But I guess if they were included this list would be comprised almost entirely of them.
They're too easy of targets.
Maybe for the other sequels, but don’t you dare consider Beauty and the Beast midquels canon. They are obviously not canon and never should be considered so. This is because they are so disjointed with the events of the original, making the Beast an unlikable piece of sh*t and Belle ending up reinforcing the ‘Stockholm syndrome’ argument, which in the context of just the original movie is non-existent, teaching bad lessons about being a life coach and apologising for someone else’s behaviour.
11:30 Ode to Joy is not a church hymn. That's f*cking Beethoven and his ninth symphony. The second line mentions the greek afterlife Elysiym for not-christs sake.
It's also the European anthem since a few decades ago.
In the U.S. it is sung at church with changed lyrics (Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love! Hearts unfold like flowers before thee opening to the sun above...). But yes, originally the lyrics are Schiller's An die Freude.
So is it now socially acceptable for me to admit that I genuinely never liked the Frozen soundtrack?
Yes
Yes
To this day I'm just like "this outdid the Lion King in the box office?"
Weirdly enough, I unironically enjoy Let It Go (and the opening ice-picking song), but all the rest is so forgettable or irritating. I felt like the sequel’s songs were a huge step up, I like almost all of them.
Also the movies themselves… exist…
The sequel is better in every way.

In regards to #10, very few people are good enough to succeed at something without failing first.

I think a message about failure not being unusual is encouraging for those with ambitions and passions for a certain thing, and when they go out and try, and don't succeed right away, that's ok...that's normal.
Or maybe you failed at something and realized you don't want to do it anymore. Just keep trying until you find something that works and you feels right.
Actually Spielberg was. His early short films by teenager standards were really well done. His first film, _Duel_ still holds up.
@@SomeHarbourBastard and I'm sure h put in a lot of hardwork as a young kid to hone his skills and craft, he didn't just pop out of the womb knowing how to block a scene.
Wait, Matt Mamba? Nice to see you here
@@MisterMarioKart howdy
Spielbergs first movie, Duel, is arguably one of his best.
I think we are going to need an updated list for Scuttlebutt.
IDK. I feel like the point of 'Son of Man' is to be obvious. Instead of trying to be exactly like a gorilla, he learned to do things with tool... like a man. Also the fact he figured it out himself. It's not a coming of age song, it's a figuring out who he was as an individual.
Also WOW, I want to actually fight you for the Aristocats. Like ok you don't like it, but saying it's terrible and that everything about it is the worst, hell no. I do not understand why you have such hate for this cute movie.
And saying you hate a song because it's exactly what it is?
I'm confused by 'Savages'. The whole point of the song is to be crude and show racial tension. ALSO Kocoum got killed and John was going to be killed, you can't tell me this wouldn't happen when tension was already high. The blue is NOT calming, it's eerie.
15:30 - Oh god, the worst by *far* was the cover of "Somewhere Out There", which turned a duet between a brother and sister hoping to be reunited into a love ballad. And despite the voice actor for Fievel being *way* out of his element with trying to sing the piece, the effort still shines through even during the points his singing becomes shrill.
Edit: And sadly, because the cover *did* become a huge hit, every other animated movie wanted to pull of the same thing. Edit 2: While the cover itself is well-done, the trend it set and how drastically the tone changed from the one of the film makes it a dud, in my eyes.
They have some of the most talented singers in the music business do these covers, you know.
@@MrChaotic4 And? Doesn't mean they always strike gold.
Personally, I prefer the Troy and Abed version.
Hey, Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female vocalists of all time.
American Tail isn't Disney, but I get what you mean.
I had a feeling the Rock Trolls' song was going to make it on this list!
Although I don't like the siamese cat stereotypes in Lady and the Tramp and Aristocats (even as a kid I knew something was off and felt uncomfortable watching them), I still enjoy both movies. For the former, it's how we get to know the title characters and their struggles. I find it to be very well paced and the other songs are quite great! For the latter, sometimes I just want to indulge in something lighthearted and silly (like really, the whole conflict starts because the butler Edgar wants the inheritance from the cats' owner and he's miffed that she's giving it to her pets instead. So he drugs them, dumps them in a river, and tries to ensure they don't get home at the end of the movie by attempting to ship them off to Timbuktu! It's so crazy, I still can't help but love it to this day!). That arpeggio song though, it did always sound like random noises.
For me it sounded like little kids singing for the first time. And since it's the first time, they are totally out of tune.
If live action remakes counted, Be Prepared would be top of the list. They BUTCHERED that song
Glad I’m not the only one hoping he’d do live action.
It's barely a song in the "live-action" remake
I was genuinely shocked at how much it sucked
Good to know i'm not the only one who feels rubbed the wrong way after listening to it after watching the movie. The fact that it sounded like it was literally only 3 seconds long STILL doesn't sit right with me
To be fair, if he counted live action remakes, this whole list would be nothing but songs from them. It's part and parcel of a line of movies whose sole reason for existing can be accurately summed up by the following:
*"EVIL MOUSE OVERLORD WANT MORE MONEY! OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!"*
Well for the gargoyles song, when the point was discussed that they shot his confidence up to the moon there really isn’t a “they” here. I always took the gargoyles as Quasimodo himself. Nobody else could see them move. Sure you have the unexplainable stuff they put in there for the kids, like the fat one knocking some guards out but that’s all that was supposed to be. A funny thing to keep kids attention.
The song did feel out of place, but I think that was the point. It was a lonely man sitting by himself getting himself hyped up that “she might care for me”.
The stage version actually has a song called “Heart of Stone” (I believe) that addresses that the gargoyles are all in his head.
@@songweretson oh! That’s cool, I really need to listen to that whole soundtrack.
If you take the theory that the Gargoyles are extensions of Quasimodo, then you can take it as "Self-Loathing: the Song" since it seems like try as his imagination might in making him feel better, it just shows his self-esteem is seriously low.
@@NobodyC13 precisely! It makes me kinda like the song lol
I actually remember making up a frame for a midquel that Disney should have done that would explain how the gargoyles came to life in his head, probably taking place when Quasimodo was around ten.
8:12 - Kill it with fire.
10:33 - Funny enough this movie was originally gonna be an adaptation of the Pied Piper, this cow hypnotizing plot point _(and thus this terrible song)_ is all that remains of that initial pitch.
12:05 - Oh Primus not this one....
26:45 - Damn that Pocahontas one was pretty bad, how can it only be number two?! _"So Peter Pan was a movie made in the 1950s"_ Oh shit.
"Son of Man" explains those lyrics in the very next verse: "All these things will come to you in time." The verse you're complaining about simply means: "The power to be (considered as) strong, and the wisdom to be (considered as) wise." It just means that the things you lack and desire as a child, feeling that you're not good enough because you don't have them, you'll get them as you grow older.
Don't get me wrong, "Home on the Range" is not a very good movie, at least in my opinion. However, the yodeling song does work better when you have context. There's a channel on RUclips where a guitar coach has been listening to all of the various Phoenix Wright soundtracks and giving his opinion on the compositions. Everybody has been saying that a lot of those songs would work better with even just a screenshot to show the context of when it would be played in-game. They aren't bad songs, but even they get an added layer when context is provided. The yodeling song is very much the same way.
That first point I was screaming at the screen
Pretty awful video tbh
Shocking.
I fucking hate that he put that song on this list. How is it even close to being anywhere near a worst song list.
Mr Enter has lost the plot
Eh his opinion
@@djinsanity3575 Sort of a...pretty useless comment
We KNOW its his opinion. Its just a sucky one
@@koheikyouji that too is an opinion so yeah
Excuse me? 'Everybody wants to be a cat' is an absolute BANGER :)
And 'Son of man' slaps pretty hard too. "The power to be strong and the wisdom to be wise" might seem like completely redundant lyrics, but they were intentionally written like that. The deeper meaning is that you not only need to posess those qualities, but you also need to put them to good use.
I actually think that "I See The Light" is probably the most popular song from *Tangled.* If nothing else, it's absolutely beautiful to look at.
I See The Light is magical.
Yeah, it's definitely one of the most memorable songs from that film. Either that, or "I Got a Dream" .
Also, just want to add on, the end credits song to Tangled, "Something That I Want", is an absolute banger that you should listen to if you have the time.
I love the song, but I get that enter doesn't like ballads.
@@Nakia11798 Still, comparing it to "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" feels rather harsh.
@@Nakia11798 I get that he doesn't like them, but in what universe is that the least popular song from the film?
The real life Radcliffe was a lot more tolerant of the natives and they tore off his skin and burned him alive. Ironically, if he had the attitude of his fictional counterpart, he probably would’ve lived longer.
Imagine being "tolerant" of people while invading their land
@@MatthewChenault Holy shit. Every character in this movie really *is* nothing like their real life counterpart.
Didn’t know that. Very interesting and insightful comment.
@@phlpcockrell cool when are the natives going to demand reparations from each other for the various tribes they killed and invaded Jesus Christ you'd think the natives were some singular monolithic culture the way people talk about them
Natives were house bolton and house stannis baratheon in techniques
I feel the same way about "The Morning Report." Of *all* the songs from the Broadway version, I would have preferred *anything* over "The Morning Report." Yes, even "Chow Down."
What about “The Madness of Scar”? That’s another good song from the Broadway show that can work in the film.
@@hunterolaughlin It would have fit *perfectly* and made Nala's arc even more compelling!
Gotta disagree with you on two entries -- Aristocats (I have a soft spot for that film) and "Savages".
Yes, Pocahontas has aged poorly, no one disputes that. But I remember when it came out it got a lot of praise for NOT depicting Natives as stupid (yes, live action movies did it first, but it was rare for a cartoon). Also, do you _really_ think Disney Animation's A-Team didn't know color theory? Of course they did. Showing the English in red was the point.
pocahontas came out in the mid 90s, racial equality had at least been a concept in american media for a while at that point, you could argue it wasnt the most offensive thing they could have made but should there be a prize for mediocrity?
i think the point about the color is that the visuals and the use of color theory clash with the films attempt to paint the conflict as 2 equal aggressors. its not that the people working on it didnt understand color theory, its that the use of color is discordant with the narrative itself. it makes it feel like the people who came up with the red/blue thing werent on the same page with the writers, which could potentially take someone out of the film if they were paying attention to that detail
@@breadpirateroberts4946 It's been awhile since I've seen the movie, but I recall some small bits of dialogue that make it pretty clear the film sees the English as the greater aggressor, not a tale of two equal aggressors. I've also heard Mel Gibson was able to wag the writers (e.g.: the real Captain Smith looked more like Ratliffe).
@@breadpirateroberts4946 Yeah I can understand the criticism of it
But the song in of itself isn’t bad and has a pretty good beat. The color animation is well done though as well
Joyful joyful we adore thee is taken from Beethoven’s 9th symphony’s final movement. It’s also called the Ode to Joy theme.
…okay what lists have you been looking at? I legit NEVER seen “Can you Feel the love tonight” in ANY bad song list
Thank you for mentioning how bad “The Morning Report” is(I believe they did that because it’s in the musical adaptation); also I look forward to seeing you tear to shreds the dishonorable “live action remake” of Mulan
I'm not sure if he would review that, though. So far, the only remake he's devoted an entire review to was The Lion King, and that's only because despite what Disney wanted us to believe when it was first announced, that film is fully, 100% animated.
@@slashermaster28 Mulan is by far the absolute worst of the live action remakes
At least for the others, I can find some enjoyment in them despite being far inferior and having many flaws

@@RB01.10 Such is what happens when your entire filmmaking process is being conducted under the watchful eye of Lord Jinping and his Most Excellent Communist Party, may they be forever praised and exalted. One tiny misstep, and there goes all that sweet Chinese cash.
I enjoy the song Savages, even with the on-the-nose lyrics. The thing about what you're saying about the sides being unequal might not hold water because the tribe has numbers and they know the territory better. Plus, the one guy they were preparing to execute was the only one who wanted to befriend them.
To be fair to the part where they explain how they became red it does at least sound like a native american story (from after they discovered other races of course).
Up north there's stories of how a woman getting her fingers cut off created seals and whales after they fell into her water. And why did she get her fingers cut off? Because her dad was fed up with taking care of the wolfman babies she'd had.
The rest of the song I'm definitely not a fan of but that part itself is fine by me.
Also, I am a fan of Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo simply because of how ridiculous it is. The rest of the movie is pretty bland and this brings a shot of silly to it. The villains are honestly the only decent part of the movie (and even then they're not that good).
It's also meant to be a joke and not taken seriously
I do appreciate the fact, that although there was a Redman village you can go to in Birth By Sleep, they didn't show actual stereotypes being present as NPCs. And that is where you fight Vanitas as Aqua, without any racism outside of the battle throughout! Also the 'up north story' about that woman? It's the story of Sedna! Well you forgot the name of the title character so that's a stretch!
@@masterseal0418 let's also not forget that these are not Native Americans. They are from Neverland. You know a land of things that never existed. Hence the name Neverland
@@masterseal0418 i mean, i never understood why the village was there without the people? It was just a sorta... aesthetic nod to the movie, but its literally just an arena to beat up Vanitas. Like, the room could have been anything else?
I will admit that even though most Disney songs are good, even songs by Disney have their ups and downs i mean after all there's no such thing as the perfect song...but we like them anyway.
I liked "can you feel the love tonight"...and "son of man"...and the aristocats in general...and "what makes the red man red". Honestly, you should never hold older movies to modern standards, and you should never get offended on someone else's behalf. That's probably the most racist thing a person can do. I'm Cherokee...I like being represented in media. Even if it's poor representation, it's better than being ignored, and i've always thought the song was funny. I don't know any other Cherokee that were offended by it either. The white man has gotten too sensitive to tell good stories, and i'm more offended by that than anything else. "Savages" is a little bit different but i, at least, get what they were trying to do.
For me at least, it's not so much "getting offended on someone else's behalf," more just "this just doesn't feel right." Like, I have an appreciation for world war 2 propaganda cartoons, they're written and directed like any other cartoon from that series (looney tunes, popeye the sailor, silly simphonies) and if you remove the overt racism are really funny just like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fud or Popeye and Bluto, but the slap stick and humor is all directed at the war time enemy with the intention of making you think less about that group of people, and I would put the feeling more under "cringe" than "offended."
Speaking of representation, have you seen the FX series Reservation Dogs? It's about a group of teens trying to save up enough money to move off their native American reservation and move out to California. I thought it was interesting.
@@catholiccontriversy they're more or less the same thing. If art in any form can make you feel uncomfortable, your skin is too thin and you're ruining everyone else's good time.

He acknowledged the time period it was in and the reason why it was there, but still stated it was wrong and it didn't age well: not in the 90's, not in the 2000's, and not now either. And it's not just mr enter being offended on the behalf of native Americans. Tons of people, native Americans included, find that song to be racist.
@@clericofchaos1 And you're apparently insensitive to many viewers' tastes. I wonder if you call anyone who doesn't want to watch Where the Dead Go To Die snowflakes.
Honestly, the yodeling part was actually my favorite on Home on the Range and never fails to get stuck in my head.
It's so catchy!!!
Ah yes, the famous trolls song from Frozen. Anna is LITERALLY dying and all thoses creatures are doing is singing. Not only that, they sing about '' Leave the guy you want to marry for a guy you barely know like him. '' Good idea! It's not like she needs to be cured or saved no no! Just make Kristoff and her loosing their time with this song is the best thing to do. Geez i hate her XS
Honestly Savages is a really good song to me at least. It shows how people will dehumanize other races in order to justify their own prejudice. Also the Natives were not entirely peaceful as they warred with each other constantly. I have a degree in history and I studied this. The settlers were not the only source of conflict. In fact if the entire movie had been about this and was more historically accurate it would have been a great film.
Glad to hear your comment! Honestly, i am sick of the narrative being pushed nowadays about how “all native Americans were peaceful and the colonists ruined everything” that is especially prevalent in the academic world. Yes, colonialism may have its problems, but as you said, many natives warred with each other.
fun fact (depending on if you find it fun): the original line in Savages was "Their whole, disgusting race is like a curse." which actual flowed a lot better with the song. "Here's what you get when race's are diverse" was added in the 2000s home video releases to be more "Politically Correct" Despite none of Savages being Politically Correct in the first place, they also change the line "Dirty redskin devils" to "dirty shrieking devils" and "Let's go kill a few" to "let's go get a few" despite all other references to killing in the song not being changed. It's the same in Aladdin, the original line in Arabian Nights is "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." and they later changed it to "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense." the change is more obvious in Aladdin then it is in Pocahontas.
Wait they changed the lines? I haven't heard these songs in decades so this is the first mention of something this PC stupid.
Oh good god there is a lot of censorship in Disney movies as well as a lot of anime as well
@@DemitriVladMaximov yep. Listen to Arabian Nights and you'll just hear that the line doesn't fit.

A lot of your early song choices (mainly 10 through 7) are pretty nitpicky, and feels forced onto the list to justify having a top 10 list. It's just scrutinizing individual lines and taking the songs too literally I suppose it is hard to review a song without doing that, but you didn't do it with the later song choices, so I don't really know.
This is mainly the case of 10 and 9, and isn't as bad in 8 and 7 but is still present. I think having a top 5 list would have been way better, since the 10-7 (and kinda 6) don't fit in as well with the top 5.
I get that these was your opinions and all, but they could have been criticized in a different manner rather than complaining about lyrics of specific lines in the song and taking them out of context.
Also, the Aristocrat song pick was pretty weird. Yeah, it's a bad song, but as you said it's only a minute long. I'm sure there would have been a better pick than that. Another thing is calling everything about that movie shit without really elaborating much is kinda pushing the whole internet reviewer stereotype of "This game is completely awful, what were they thinking?", which is really something you should avoid. A bit of a tangent but oh well.
Sorry if this was too critical, I just needed to say this. The other song choices felt justified and well explained without being too nitpicky and such. Also sorry for the wall of text, I originally imagined this comment being shorter in my head.
Yeah, though it his opinion and you're going to have to respect that, I will admit that a few of these do seem pretty nitpicky and forced in.
A long time ago I was doing a top 10 worst cartoon characters list and I ran out of characters to add so I just started picking minor ones that weren't even in their respective media long enough to be considered the worst (don't ask me why I didn't just shorten it down to top five or something, I was like 11 years old and wanted to be the next Mr enter) luckily I never published the video because even I realized how forced some of the choices were.
Shouldnt have to apologize for being "too critical" when the tone of the video is this aggro towards songs, especially when he seems to at times ignore/not acknowledge the thematic purpose of the song
@@Swordish That's a flaw with a lot of his videos. He gets very aggressive and ends up seeing problems that aren't there. His Total Dramarama review had that problem. He clearly hated it so much that he didn't pay attention to the story and didn't understand parts that were explicitly explained. I think this kind of thing happened here. I don't think every line in Son of Man has a problem. It's a growing up montage where Tarzan has to learn to be a skilled gorilla when he isn't a gorilla at all and has to find other ways to simulate.
That ain't a wall of text bro, that's a pretty moderate size, the paragraph spacing makes it look bigger than it is. Trust me I'm quite the windbag once I get going and I've seen how insane comments can get. Yours doesn't even register on that scale, and that's a good thing.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 at this point why is he even making videos, nobody likes him (not that they did in the first place)
Maybe because i saw it on Latinamerican spanish but "Yodel Adle Eddle Idlee" sounds amazing there, IIRC the singer/VA does indeed know how to properly Yodel, and if i recall correctly that version of pure yodeling was used in other dubs.
0:44 Hold up, I thought everyone loved At Last I See the Light. That song is incredible.
Dont take this mans opinion. He knows jack and it shows with Son Of Man being on here.
Shit taste.
I need to say something about the both siding thang. Saying it wasn't a mutual conflict is true, but is kind of misleading. The way people talk about it makes it sound like the Native Americans never did anything wrong. Like the colonist walked in and boom trail of tiers. Yes they where out guned and typically weren't aggressors they could be just as cruel as the colonist. People don't talk about this but they had slavery, torcher, all other atrocities you could thank of. I'm not saying that what the colonist did was right, and if you thank I'm saying that than you don't understand what the term "as cruel as" and "typically weren't aggressors". What I'm saying is that when we talk like this we forget that there where reasons this happened. Everyone knows of custer's last stand, now look up what the Sioux and Cheyenne did to his body. Now imagine if you where only told bad thangs about native Americans all your life then that happened. Most people say now that they'd be different, but your as human as any colonist or native American, and if you thank your speshal you need to reevaluate your life. Anyone saying thade be different are the people who would be making the map for the trail of tiers.
Well put, but there's enough typos in there that it is genuinely kinda hard to read. If you get the chance you should edit it because you phrase it most excellently and I don't want that to get dismissed due to spelling mistakes.
"Blue is a calming color" the words spoken as the background in the video is blue while he's ranting about the negatives of a song with the character being drawn with fuming red anger...
The most frustrating part about Kenis' confession is that I saw the original deleted scene and it's 10x better than the one we got. And it got cut for a Phil Collins song.
I think it was cut for two reasons :
We already kind of saw Koda telling the story and unknowingly revealing to Kenai what actually happened so it would’ve been a bit redundant to hear it again
This may be more of my personal opinion, but I think it worked better leaving it up to our imagination of what exactly Kenai was saying. Well we know what it was about, but not exactly *how* he said it.
Just having “It’s about a bear and monster” with Koda replying “I don’t like this story” followed by Kenai’s “Your mother’s not coming” I feel worked much better by having less
You know the old saying "less is more?" Lot of truth in that.
is the myth of the noble savage so deeply ingrained that any attempt to portray historical conflicts between natives and settlers with any amount of nuance is to be decried as awful and ""problematic""?
No, it's that the movie was trying to say both sides were equally at fault when in reality, the Europeans were invading, pushing them off their land, killing and enslaving them, etc. The Native Americans were defending their homes and many did go too far because it felt hopeless but the fact doesn't change that they were being uprooted from everything they had known by empires that just wanted resources and money, going so far as to making and breaking countless treaties. It's not hard to see why the Natives felt they couldn't trust them. Not because they were "different" but because they had been hurt countless times before and would be many times later.
@@huntergraham702 a simple yes would have sufficed then I understand it's hard to let go of that 3rd grade interpretation of making it into a clear cut black and white "the evil white man killed those noble defenseless natives" modern narrative but perhaps consider as another commenter pointed out the historical John Ratcliffe who was skinned alive and burned while trying to negotiate for food for the starving colony or that the conflicts in the movie began with what amounted to the natives raiding and pillaging the colonists for refusing to be effectively subsumed as satilites to pretend Powhatan were not at minimum mutual combatants, if not instigators in that conflict is historically false, emotionally infantile and insulting to the historical truth by bulldozing it with sanitized bullshit
#10: This is a song that gets up tripped up over its message and gets ahead of itself. It's means to say that we shouldn't be afraid to fail, just keep trying until you get it right. But the way the song carries itself shows the wrong way of doing it. If we just keep trying and then decide to "do it all over again" we haven't really learned anything.
#9: I still like this song, but the lyrics are pretty literal. I think it's meant to be a montage song, hinting at Tarzan's personal journey as he alone must learn how to survive and become accepted by the gorillas.
#8: Actually, "Morning Report" was originally from the Broadway musical adaptation of the film (in which Samuel E. Wright a.k.a Sebstain famously portrayed Mufasa). And Zazu's singing is done by Jeff Bennett. Simba's singing was done by a different VA because his original VA had grown too old and couldn't do the high notes. Maybe it sounds better on Broadway.
#7: I have no idea what this song is or what it's supposed to be about. It's just a bunch of random yodeling with no lyrics or context.
#6: Easily the only part of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" that didn't need to be there.
#5: Classic case of "Show, Don't Tell".
#4: I guess this song works for what it's supposed to be in context: A piano lesson for kids. But it's done a little too well in that regard.
#3: Had a feeling this song would be on the list. Not a good message you wanna send to *ANYONE*. I again get the intention: No one's perfect and you shouldn't be looking for a "Prince Charming", but you've gotta have some standards. This is the kind of thing that could actually lead to what people accuse "Beauty and the Beast" of supporting even though it doesn't.
#2: Can you really call this a villain song when Governor Radcliffe is only partially involved in it? This song, like the movie, tries to claim both sides are at fault. But it commits a very big sin when both sides can apparently talk to each other just fine, yet the most we see is Pochaontas and John Smith on their own while neither of their leaders know anything about it. If they did, this might give the song more narrative weight.
#1: Even by 1950's standards I'd argue this song was offensive, but in a low effort kind of way. It's a pretty forgettable song and I don't think it contributes anything to the narrative since the important conversation doesn't happen until after it's done.
Bruh, try everything is literally so good, it fits so well to the character of hopps and how well the process of learning and failing is a never ending cycle that keeps making you a better person.
6 years later, still one of my most replayed Disney (and Shakira) songs
As racist as What made the red man red’s lyrics are, I still really like the tune. It’s lively, upbeat, and fun sounding. As much as it is obviously insensitive, I can’t really fault it for being fun to listen to.
The conflict between Native Tribes and Settlers was a lot more nuanced than some portray it. There was a mutual agreement that they had to wipe each other out. Natives used to kill other Natives before a European man even arrived in America.
That said, I think it's best to not demonize either side too much. They were human, and as humans had a tribal preference for their own kind. We have sought to overcome such tribalism. I believe we've succeeded.
Sometimes Natives killed settlers.
13:26 There's a reason for that. Jason Alexander is a broadway singer and a damn good one at that.
Prediction: What Makes the Red Man Red will rank pretty high on the list.
Your theory was proven correct
I can live with this list and I can even respect it. HOWEVER, I can't forgive you for making me remember the heartbreak of Todd and Widow Tweed saying goodbye. How dare you sir!
That is definitely one of the most soul crushing scenes in all of Disney
Between no words being spoken and Todd not even understanding what or why it was happening.
I did some research on the Lion King recently. Turns out Simba had a different voice actor they decided not to keep. The Simba in the Morning Report is voiced by the ex-VA.
Are you on something. I See the Light is one of the more beloved songs from Tangled even if it is a slow love song. Hell I heard it sung as a duet at a church once.
In the context of the movie, I honestly think The Troll Song is the worst. Because if you haven't seen the movie in a while, this dong happens after Elsa accidentally blasts Anna with her ice powers, causing Anna to get colder and eventually freeze. In other words, she is literally dying. Why the hell would you put a happy musical number here?
Not to mention, the moment the song ends, the film immediately goes back to super-serious mode about her condition.
If copyright is coming I might as well watch it now.
I will say that Bellweather being the twist villain makes sense considering her name is "Bellweather," which is what you call the sheep that wears the bell and leads the flock around, but the fact that you need to know *shepherd* terminology to get why a character is a twist villain is a bit out there, yeah.
Anyway, opinions on the choices!
10 - Honestly, I liked Try Everything, but it's very much just a standard 2010s pop song. The lyrics are also *so* bland. I will say that you're harping too much on the fact that the song allows for failure without focusing on the fact that it's not a song about succeeding, it's a song about letting go of your apprehensions and continuing even though you've failed so many times before.
9 - I have never seen Tarzan so... Also why does the shot of Tarzan climbing the mountain look like Doofenshmirtz?
8 - I've never heard this???????
7 - The fact that this is on this list is confusing. Just because this is ABSOLUTELY hilarious to watch.
6 - Never watched this movie, to be honest.
5 - Never watched it either.
4 - Blasphemy against Aristocats, immediately unsubscribed /j
In all seriousness I love this movie, I don't care what you have to say.
3 - ROCK TROLLS ARE TERRIBLE
2 - This is *So* weird to hear about after not watching it for so long.
1 - ... Oh.
The only reason I even watched home on the range is that song..and the fact a coworker kept singing it.
The only thing you need to know is the yodeling slimm (?) is pretty much the pied piper for cows
Gets to the top of the mountain.
"A platypus in Africa?"
Dons hat.
"PERRY the Platypus in Africa?!"
I love Try Everything. At lest it's just number 10.
Yeah, after what he said at the end of 3, I KNEW the Red Man song would be there. Because it is one of the most poorly aged songs in all of Disney. And on top of that, it doesn't really help that events of the song seem to directly mess with the romantic subplot (such that it exists) for no real reason.
Like, yeah, its a product of his time. But Mr Enter admitted right then and there at the end of 3 that, yes, the remaining songs would be ones that aged poorly.
I always thought her name was a reference to a Bellwether state- a state that can change electorate within an election cycle or could go either way in an election. (Referencing a political / political science subject since she's a mayor.)
I did not know that there was another use of that term!
Just a small correction; Shakira didn't write Try Everything. It was written by Tor Hermansen, Mikkel Eriksen, and, of all people, Sia.
Sia? The one who sang Rainbows in the MLP movie?
@@blizzardforonline1954 The very same.
I feel like Enter's blood would boil at any mention of Sia in light of her recent actions and attitudes toward the ASD community.
@@NobodyC13 I would actually love to see Enter tear her into pieces.
Sia wrote songs for a lot of famous musicians.
I’m glad your list does not include Johnny Rzeznik’s “I’m Still Here” from Treasure Planet. He is an amazing singer and songwriter
Some context for morning report: this was released in 2003 and the singing voice for Simba isn’t the same one from the movie and that actually isn’t Rowan Atkinson,it’s Jeff Bennett. Also it’s Lucasfilm not Lucasarts(thought that was apart of Lucasfilm)
10:21- You know you this movie screwed up when Dr. Doofenshmirtz had a better country song
I'll say
"I'm singing and you yodel-odel-odel-obey me"
Correction: Country-And-Western song. Seeing as he mixed them both together.
I stand by your opinion on the last song since, to quote a phrase people REALLY need to learn, "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it." History is ugly, there's no way around it; if you censor history and actively try to forget it, you're quite literally dooming yourself to repetition, and, as such, if you're refusing to learn from your mistakes, then sympathy is the last thing you deserve. Not sure if it was intentional to have the first song and the last song in this countdown line up so poetically in that respect, but it sure seemed that way to me. And...yeah...I remember literally nothing about Home On The Range aside from...whatever the fuck that pale imitation of "Pink Elephants on Parade" was about. :/
Yeah I remember renting “Home on the Range” as a kid soon after it came out from Blockbuster and being so damn bored by it.
I saw it again years later on TV and my opinion still hasn’t changed. Was still very forgettable
I remember actually mixing up Son of Man with Strangers Like Me as a kid, and - that's Son of Man? Really?
Also, I regret watching Home on the Range too. I had bad taste back in 2004.
The movie is disjointed. The movie is weird. Sweatin' Bullets was its original title, with undead cattle rustlers, and it would have been way better than it.
Also, don't worry about Frozen. Everyone thinks the Trolls are annoying and the song adds nothing to the movie.
My #1 would be Mother Knows Best however, because after listening to it again it's not really a great song and its badness is entirely due to the instrumentals behind Donna Murphy's singing.
Literally, take the instrumentals out of the song and just have her sing to Rapunzel and it would be ten times creepier - but no, we have these annoying loud trumpets and wind instruments taking out the sense of overall villainy. The reprise is a little scarier before she turns full Batman at the end.
@@jadedheartsz Looking back at it, yeah, it's okay. Like, aggressively mediocre for a pre-cancellation Roseanne project with talking cows in it.
I’ve heard people say that Mother Gothel (is that how you say it?) is a retread of Frollo from Hunchback, and I definitely agree.
@@toganium4175 Oh, she is.
Yeah, Mother Knows Best is just plain annoying!
I've always had a soft spot for Pocahontas. I know it's not a good movie and is offensively historically inaccurate but there's something about it I just can't put my finger on, it captivated me as a kid.
I still like the movie as an adult.
Fuck Ratcliffe as a villain though.
I love the movie, but I can understand why others don't like it.
I don’t mind the movie as long as you’re not watching it like a historical accurate movie and one of those “alternate history” movies ie something like The Watchmen or 300 (sorry if I can’t think of better examples other than Synder films). I just find it funny that Disney banked on Pocahontas being the main movie of 1994 and NOT The Lion King but that’s more of a hindsight thing
@@redstreak9430 it sounds laughable in hindsight. I love Pocahontas but it’s hilarious to think they thought that would be the big money maker and it ended up being The Lion King
@@MatthewChenault Yeah I think the nature aesthetic is one of the things I've always liked about it. The environment and the way the leaves move in the wind when Pocahontas is following her heart. It stood out when most of the Disney movies when I first watched it were in a royal setting and a big palace.
Don't take this seriously people. It is a subjective list and not an objective one. It is his opionon, not the objective truth.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is also my favorite Disney movie and soundtrack and I strongly dislike A Guy Like You for pretty much all the reasons you mentioned, but I have to admit the "since you're shaped like a croissant is" line makes me laugh every time due to the sheer ridiculousness of it all. It's legitimately one of the most unintentionally funny moments in the entire Disney catalog.
Nobody likes the gargoyles
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 (AniMat ducks behind shield)
“Moments like these are my reason I don’t tell people country is my favorite genre of music.”
Wow. I did NOT expect to learn that about Mr. Enter
Makes me happy
The Yodeling Song?
I think it looks good. The plot behind it is apparently, that's the villain singing and he rustles cattle by singing to them. Kind of like a Pied Piper of Cattle.
YODALS, he yodels to them. The guy is super touchy about it being called singing, trust me.
Yep you are correct. Only cattles are attracted to it.
@@BlazeHeartPanther I never seen the movie but I hear that he's the best part about it.
@@GameAlicornLuna just about yeah
I remember listening to "the Morning Report" before, and afterwards I never heard it in the movie again, I thought for the longest time it was a fever dream song that I heard... yikes
This is exactly how i felt when i heard it was a song 😂
I wasn’t even aware of it until I got the Special Edition DVD many years ago (I was like “what?! This wasn’t on my VHS!” LOL).
I don’t think it was on any other version though thankfully 😅
It *IS* pointless and doesn’t really add anything. Was glad it was cut in the original
Gotta disagree with number 9
"Son of Man" is a song about proving yourself against everyone's expectations, which as a fellow Aspie really hit home for me back in 2019 while I was finishing Grad School, coupled with trying to get out of a dead-end job that paid peanuts and systematically robbed me of my ability to be a decent/functioning human being (Amazon). Particularly, the line about the time coming for you to claim the things you dream/the visions hit me like a freight train seeing as how I wasn't graduating so much as the school was looking to properly wash their hands of us Grad Students (the MA History program was being defunded/shut down) and that knowledge really killed my drive to teach History at a college level. I was getting my degree, but on top of tuition, the cost was getting the kind of burn out you get upon realizing that your dreams only get less and less lofty as you "grow up".
Also 11:20 is "Ode to Joy". Maybe whoever wrote "Joyful Joyful we adore thee" jacked the melody, but that's Beethoven's Ode to Joy being yodeled.
Someone: Makes a Disney video.
Copyright robots: Exterminate!
Oh God, copyright Daleks.
Mr. Enter should make a Odysee account.
I didn't know someone could hate the Aristocats that much. I always assumed the worst someone could feel towards that movie is apathy
I never liked Fixer Upper, but I think my biggest problem with Frozen was the fact that I grew up with the story it was based on, The Ice Queen by Hans Christian Andersen.
I was hoping for a big, epic, beautifully animated adaptation of that story I loved as a kid, but that wasn’t what I got.
I remember how I imagined that scene early on, when Kai, who’s been acting out of character since the Snow Queen started freezing his heart, is taken away by her on a sleigh on a dark snowy night.
His childhood friend, Gerda, sees this and chases after them, worried about her friend.
She has to save him, but on foot, she can’t keep up, and sees them disappear into the dark snowy forest ahead.
Imagine how awesome it’d be to see this animated by Disney!
It’s about a girl going on an adventure to save someone she loves, not just physically but emotionally, because a frozen heart in the book doesn’t kill you, it renders you dead inside, unable to feel or even remember love or happiness, unable to even see beauty in the world around you.
It’s essentially a magical depression that can only be healed with love.
I can’t be the only one who thinks that would’ve made for an awesome Disney film, right?
I can’t be the only one who thinks it’d be better than Frozen, right?!
I remember rewatching Peter Pan after over 10 years on Disney +.
Nearly ripped my collar I was tugging it so hard.
Huh, I just felt - oh, well that's America's problem. For other countries native americans are so foreign that they might as well be pirates or mermaids. Harsh, definitely, but you have to remember that America is not the centre of the world.
@@purpleguy319 Just a little fact that people tend to forget: Peter Pan the novel is British. One of the most well known novels to come from Britain even. I have never read the book but I have to guess that the Native people described as living in NeverLand probably didn't look or act like that either in the source material.
@@shwahgamer From what I've heard, it isn't much better than the movie.
I'm sorry but having son of man from Tarzan on the list because you don't like the lyrics when they're explaining to Tarzan that he's not going to become the strong and intelligent king of the jungle that's accepted by his dad overnight but that it's going to be a long and difficult path but not having the song where all the apes are just trashing the camp is beyond me.
Same. Mr Enter has lost it.
This is where my viewership ends.
Disgraceful
@@HolsovanUltimate he even gave stupid reasons why he hates the movie your name, taking things to literally and not reading between the lines!
I honestly love Scales and Arpeggios (and also the Aristocats, so)
I mean, yeah the voices are cutesy but...They're kids? They're supposed to sound like that???
It did what it tried to do, and I kinda feel like you were expecting something else, and I don't know what it was.
Ik, I love the aristocats. The songs are bangers
Fixer-upper was the first one I thought of, I hate it. These are Kristof's "love experts" and line after line is just awful ideas and advice and steamrolling both Kristof and Anna. And I've personally been the object of matchmaking that had zero chance of happening, so no amount of "good intentions" from the trolls lands for me. It would have made a much better scene if they were protective of Kristof and suspicious of Anna and came around during the visit.
Worst thing is, I'm not sure that's a church hymn as much as it's Ode to Joy by Beethoven also known as the EU anthem.
I thought the same that it sounded more like Ode to Joy
I'm surprised to hear See the light is considered bad or forgettable. It's my favourite Disney love song
I really hate try everything as well, but that’s also because they play it at my work nonstop, and it drives me up the wall
Try annoying them with the Kidd Video theme song.
@@ExtremeWreck then I’ll have to suffer as well
@@portalguy2246 Better song though.
Fun Fact: When my English class covered depictions of Native Americans in fiction, they used "What Makes the Red Man Red" as an example of how we interpreted them back in the day (and how far we've come).
I do agree that scenes like this shouldn't be censored or removed, as:
A. I am already against censorship.
B. Scenes like these should be kept to show how far we've come since then, and for potential educational purposes.
Yodel-Adle-Eddie-Idle-O is a pretty good song, especially compared to the other voiceover songs in that movie. The context of the movie is that the yodelling guy is trying to get as much land and as many cows as possible for his own wealth, and he has the power to hypnotize cows. The song is nice to listen to and does a good job of explaining this ability.
Tangled’s “I See The Light” is a certified classic, and I know a lot of others who agree with that sentiment. Idk why you say that it doesn’t get as much love as the others.
I always thought "I've Got A Dream" was the weak link.
I know, it's catchy, but it kinda comes out of nowhere and is a bit too silly for me personally.
@@reasyrandom
I like that song, though it’s mostly because of its lighthearted nature.
Huge nitpick on the tarzan one. and you said yourself you cant be wise without wisdom, thats why he needs wisdom to be wise because without wisdom he would not be wise.
It kinda feels like he fixates on the lyrics way more than any other aspect of the songs.
Glad to see that you're doing another list video! They seem to be your most popular.
And we haven't seen a List video in a couple of months, and even that one was special for Nick-O-Rama.
Agreed
I would like to see a best of
@@jordancampbell8597 *list.
You look at some of these songs in a literal sense. Son of Man and Try Everything are big examples of songs that on the surface sound like they hold no real meaning beneath the words but they do. Son of Man is about Tarzan's growth and how all the things that will make him a man will come to him in time, it won't be instantaneous and it takes a lot of patience and a lot of determination. Try Everything is about accepting the fear of failure in everything you try to find success in, but you need to try in spite of the failure until you achieve success.
