I still can’t believe that the Academy Awards snubbed this song of a nomination for the Best Original Song Oscar. This song is definitely the most defining song of the film and one of the first ones many think of when they think Little Mermaid songs and set a new standard to many of the Disney Princesses’ later “I Want” songs.
Ariel may have wanted to be where the people are, but it's safe to say she made us want to be part of her world. With Howard's lyrics, Alan's composition, Jodi's vocals and Glen's animation; a masterpiece was made and made Ariel feel like a real person and everytime she reaches out of her cavern, I always try to reach for her hand. Ariel is my hero. If I had a time machine to the part where Jeff Katzenberg considered cutting out the song, I would LITERALLY slap the lunacy out of him.
I dunno. The whole reason Ariel loved the human world is because humans are so innovative while merpeople express creativity mainly through music. I feel like the merpeople world isn't that desirable.
Then again, this wouldn’t be the last time Katzenberg nearly ruined a film with his executive interference. I mean, he nearly had Toy Story and computer animation as an animation medium canned with the infamous Black Friday Reel. “If I had a nickel for every time Jeffrey Katzenberg nearly ruined a classic Disney animated film with his interference, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.”
@@hunterolaughlinHe also predicted that Lion King was going to underperform, while Pocahontas was going to get nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. He was wrong.
It's also, amusingly, the one song that contradics their argument why the story is "bad" because they think "Ariel just wants to become human to be with a man"
``The Little Mermaid'' is a masterpiece that changed Disney history, and was a huge success because it incorporated a musical style into animation. Jodi Benson's singing ability on "Part of Your World" was truly amazing. The 10 years starting in 1989 was a golden age, when masterpieces such as ``Beauty and the Beast,'' ``Aladdin,'' and ``The Lion King'' were born.Not only did the series produce a series of hits, but it also received high praise and numerous awards. ``The Little Mermaid'' was a work that ushered in this era, also known as the ``Disney Renaissance.''
YUP! Glad I’m a early 90s baby. Mid 80s baby would’ve been a little better to more experience the Diseny Renaissance . Diseny may never have another decade like that again
I am glad someone dedicated half an hour to express the criticism i had with the first trailer of tlm with Haley singing part of your world. All ny friends said i overreacted, but the whisper and sad tone of the last sentence in the classic movie is what makes the song the best one for me
It's hard to say what's the greatest Disney song. Cause there so many classics... I'll Make a Man Out of You, Go The Distance, Circle Of Life, You Got A friend in Me, Out There.... That's Disney's greatest strength, their music....
I can't express with words, how much Part of your World is my favorite Disney song ever made and keep Ariel as my favorite Disney character, all thanks to the combine efforts of Howard Ashman, Alan Menken, Glen keane, Jodi Benson, John Musker and Ron Clements, and the talented artists, animators and musicians that works this incredible scene, from the magnificent visuals, all Ariel joyful and sadness expressions that where literally made IMPOSSIBLE to replicate on live action, the multiple layers of Passion you can felt on all parts that makes this song......Ashman passionate feelings for this song that go deeper many could assume when he wrote the lyrics been a gay person back in a time period that crucified you for been queer, Glen who's inspirations for design Ariel go deeper as he was inspired by the love of his life his wife, the animators who used Alyssa Milano as life action references for Ariel movements and some expressions, and the incredible direction of Musker and Clements who wanted to prove themselves to Disney so some day in the future Disney greenlight their own passion project....TREASURE PLANET, as I mentioned, so many layers that goes deep to make this song as important and powerful as it is, something really was not made to be translated to live action.
OMG DUDE YOIRE A MIND READER, “part of your world” was DEFINITELY in my Disney’s top 5 ballad list along with Mulans “Reflection “. And for upbeat songs “Under the sea” “make a man out of you” and “can’t wait to be king”
I prefer I’m Still Here and Strangers Like Me a bit more personally, but absolutely this is the best one character wise and story wise. The opening clip summarizes it in the best words too. We get invested into the story and character. Thank you for this video Aldone. I standby my opinion that The Little Mermaid is one of the most underrated and misunderstood Disney films…
@@vetarlittorf1807 I can understand that, but for me, as long as the lyrics still compliment the visuals beautifully, it still leaves its effect on me. That’s just my perspective tho…
You mean misunderstood as in how everyone keeps saying it’s about her wanting a man. Yet this song is clearly about her expressing how much she wants to become part of the human world. And it’s only after saving Eric does she want love. She already has a longing for the world above before Eric and based on the size of her collection I’d say long long before Eric. Eric is kinda the driving force which does help her take the plunge and dares to become human. But he’s just like the icing on the cake really. To become part of the world above was what came first love came second. It’s a film which is all about her wanting more out of life. Yet people generally overlook Ariel’s wants and dreams and they focus solely on the love aspect.
None of the characters sing "Strangers Like Me," so it doesn't even count in this case, no opinion on the other one, I haven't seen that movie. TLM is far from underrated and in some cases, misunderstood, but I think the people doing it are doing it on purpose to drag the film.
Howard Ashman, Alan Menken & Jodi Benson did a phenomenal job with this. You always do a good job diving into these films & explaining about them 🎥. Keep it up.
The thing about this song is it almost can’t be counted on bear like I can’t figure out the time signature because Ariel pauses through the song but that’s what makes it so unique. I love the speak singing in it. I also love how Ariel does TWO other mini renditions of it with same melody different lyrics like when she sings to Eric on the beach “here beside you” and on the rock “I don’t know when…I don’t know how”. I haven’t seen other Diseny animated films do that. POYW is definitely top tier
I personally think a whole new world is the best Disney song period from the singing to the lyrics to the composition to the visuals (thank you to whoever didn’t correct Aladdin’s adorable lisp on “tell me princess”) and be prepared is an iconic performance as well. But this one is definitely up there. The renaissance just will never be topped. What a gift to grow up in the 90s/2000s.
This was the first time I saw Haley act out that reaching scene and let me just say. I HATE IT! Like what the eff is she doing?! she look like she is a frigging zombie trying to aggressively grab someone to snack on their brain! The animated look instead like she is truly trying to reach the surface, it has this feminine and romantic movement. Truly shows that the live action is the worst and the people who made it understand nothing about TLM or Ariel! But to be on topic, I can only say that I agree with you that this song is truly the best.
Alan Menkan was in charge of the music of this movie like he was in the OG. Clearly he had ideas for her character since it’s a reimagined film but delivery and execution is questionable. But overall I still enjoyed the film and Halle’s performance.
The live-action was actually great. People only had an issue bc she didn't look like Ariel. Which, ok? Valid. But in terms of vocal ability and covering the song, Halle ate that up! She did absolutely amazing! You can say what you want but Halle did a phenomenal job covering the song!
, Part of your world is a Great song#1 the lyrics. #2 the inner, dreamy, longing for something more. Ariel is my favorite disney princess. Her character, journey, willingness is very relatable.
I would love a dramatic film portraying the production of the little mermaid. It's such a great story of the brilliance of Howard Ashman and Alan Menkin.
All because Jeffrey Katzenberg jumped to the conclusion that kids were bored by the song after noticing a kid during one screening picking up his popcorn after he dropped it during the number; which is weird a kid would be more concerned about picking his popcorn up since no kid would spend their time picking it up during a movie going experience.
Bruv - 🙏🏽👌🏽 Love the work!!! This was fantastic! Thanks for keeping the love I have for Disney alive in these truly dark times…it’s good to be reminded of the legacy/wins instead of the grimmer reminder they’re not what they were. Keep making stuff!!!
It's definitely the best song of the Disney Renaissance, although I'm personally much more of a fan of the Sherman brothers' soundtracks. It is really too bad though, that Disney didnt even bother to try for either style with Wish. If they had made that a music inspired movie, taking cues from all the different song styles, and written the story from there, it would have been so much better.
I'll admit, when I was 3 years old, I fell in love with Ariel because of Part of Your World because of how I felt for her being a trapped individual and she was also pretty. Too bad I outgrew her when I turned 6 because I got into more boy appropriate stuff like video games, superheroes, ect and because of Disney for marketing the princesses as shallow girly barbie dolls, damsels, and romantics in the 2000s.

I can't understand why people say this is the best song because it doesn't actually make a good case for what the character wants. The only specific reasons Ariel gives for wanting to be a human and live on land is that "legs are required for jumping, dancing" and she bets that on land "they don't reprimand their daughters." Both these things are untrue. The movie shows plenty of sea creatures dancing, including Ariel herself in this very scene, and there are plenty of human daughters who get reprimanded. (Hey, sometimes they deserve it. 😉) The song sounds pretty but it gives no convincing reason to root for Ariel to get what she wants. I'm sorry but Sebastian clearly makes the better case with "Under the Sea."
That's true, because how many little kids thought being a mermaid was way better than being human? Sebastian is a way better pitch crab. I even got snorkeling gear one Xmas because I wanted to be Under the Sea so much.
The I want song has become a vital part in Disney's history when Howard Ashman enter the scene forever changed the way that we enjoy Disney made it classics words aren't enough to express what you want it and you have to express it in song part of your world have set the basis for Belle go to distance out there when Will My Life Begin how far I'll go unfortunately this wish was not in the same league as to what Howard Ashman created
I’m not well acquainted with the chord progression of Halle’s version of POYW vs the original. But if the Wikipedia article is accurate, the song is only raised by 1 semitone on the lower register and by 2 semitones on the upper register (and entire octave would be going up from C4 to C5). So, Halle’s version seems to be catering more to her range than it is completing change the song to incorporate more of her vocal abilities. That comes down more so to vocal direction. So, I don’t believe taking the song up in key was done with the intention of affecting the audience’s reception of the piece. I think it was more so byproduct of altering the song to better suit Halle’s naturally higher vocal range.
Which I suppose that if they followed the actual Hans Christian Andersen's book, this song would not make any sense at all because of here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: When a mermaid turns fifteen, she is permitted to swim to the surface for the first time to catch a glimpse of the world above. When the 6 mermaids become old enough, each of them visits the upper world one at a time every year. As each returns, the Little Mermaid listens longingly to their various descriptions of the world inhabited by human beings.
Well technically the song is called Part Of That World and the reprise after Ariel saves Eric is called Part Of Your World.. That is a common misconception and is the reason why people mistake Ariel’s desire to go to the human world for a man when she actually wanted to go because she was fascinated by humans and what kind of people they were
That's what bothers me about Halle Bailey's version. Don't get me wrong, she's a good singer. But after listening to the parts "Wandering free, I wish I could be" and "Out of the sea, I wish I could be," she sounds like she's a Michael Jackson wannabe. With her poorly acting, it didn't help either.
You meantioned circle of life for the 2nd or maybe even 3rd time does that predict an future video? I mean this song shows us the beauty of life and nature and that its the same thing
I wouldn't say it's the BEST Disney song, but I'm glad you didn't say that about a Pinocchio song (Not saying that I have anything against Pinocchio, I'm just sick of how ever since the remake came out, everyone's been constantly glorifying the original Pinocchio and treating it like it's literally flawless in every single way.)
There’s no Waugh it’s not in top 10. I started the Diseny Renaissance. Besides I’m not sure if you watched this video because he actually says “if you wish upon a star “ was his favorite
Alan Menkan was in charge of the music of this movie like he was in the OG. Clearly he had ideas for her character since it’s a reimagined film but delivery and execution is questionable. But overall I still enjoyed the film and Halle’s performance.

@@Simbala-bq5vyI did suggest the idea of him talking about Blue Sky Studios before they were shut down and Sony pictures animation that's not spider verse.
It’s good cuz it’s gay. I’m not joking. The composers were gay and framed it as such. It’s still relatable, but they were writing from their struggle and passion. I think it was Ashman who literally died from AIDs during post production before release in ‘89.

There’s no Waugh it’s not in top 10. I started the Diseny Renaissance. Besides I’m not sure if you watched this video because he actually says “if you wish upon a star “ was his favorite
@@lessismore8533 I did but commented before I saw it all
2023 version ruined it
Alan Menkan was in charge of the music of this movie like he was in the OG. Clearly he had ideas for her character since it’s a reimagined film but delivery and execution is questionable. But overall I still enjoyed the film and Halle’s performance.
Yup plus the whole thing sucked
Yeah the new version is too belty and embellished.
Annoyingly so
Moana crab man would beg to differ

What about all Harry Potter Movies is a Masterpieces?
He only makes videos about Disney • Pixar/DreamWorks and rarely Illumination
@@Simbala-bq5vyI did suggest the idea of him talking about Blue Sky Studios before they were shut down and Sony pictures animation that's not spider verse.
@@joeysumner1856 What are you talking about?
@@Simbala-bq5vy I just would like to know what he thinks of those movies.
Nah, hellfire and bells of Notre Dame are better.
It's hard to say what's the greatest Disney song.
But the Morning Report is one of the worst.😂😂😂😂😂
@@Unsweetened8618 right after guy like you
@@oneidaw1718 Oh Yeah, I forgot about A Guy Like You 🤢.....
It's seems like they put that song there as a filler...
@@Unsweetened8618 it's so sad that hunchback soundtrack was perfect but they had to ruin it by just one sobg
@@oneidaw1718The Most peaceful part, has the worse song...
It’s good cuz it’s gay.
I’m not joking.
The composers were gay and framed it as such. It’s still relatable, but they were writing from their struggle and passion.
I think it was Ashman who literally died from AIDs during post production before release in ‘89.
Part of dat world, hellfire, be prepared nd colours of the wind👌
