    Every boy who grows up believing his marriage might end in failure and that he is going to spend his life as a deadbeat dad should think and be like Babar: always stay strong, never give up or look for an easy way out, and always treat your honey like the one and only princess you have.

    Best song in this entire movie! The way Molly Johnson's voice gradually adjusts from melancholy and anguished to proud and hopeful, that 80s keyboard sound... Words don't do it justice. I miss my childhood 😭😭😭

    I can't believe that Babar and Celeste are cousins in original stories but in TV-series and movie, they are not related at all, just a good friends, which this idea for the series is good for family audience.

    I love this type of melody. There was a certain melody used especially in the 80s-90s (in the Jetsons movie and Chipmunk movie for example; I guess it's a synthesized electric piano type of music) and it was my favorite into my adulthood.
    Hey, I looked up Molly Johnson on Wikipedia and the article said that she and her brother starred in Porgy and Bess at the Royal Alexandra Theater in Toronto when they were just in elementary school.

    Lyrics:
    no one was coming to my aid
    and i still was so afraid
    of the loneliness inside that id run away and hide
    tell you the truth for me it would have been the end
    lucky for me i had a friend
    what i was lookin for was you so help me true
    how could i know what it could do
    through the rain storm (through the rain)
    cross the mountain (cross the plain)
    walkin' with you i feel so strong
    cause you helped me carry on
    with you guidin' (you to guide)
    i no learning' (i can't hide)
    we are much more than you and me
    we are the best we both can be
    we are the best we both can be

    They should have marketed this as the lead single for this film. It would have probably cracked the Top 5 in Canada and most likely would have been a top 10 hit in the UK. Maybe charted highly in France and other territories, too.

    When I was 6 I had a pet moth that I found outside..I gave it leaves and bonded in some weird way. One day I found it on the ground dead. It had laid its eggs and was going on with the natural cycle of life, but I felt like I had really lost a friend. I watched this, and this song cut me to the bone. I was devastated.
