Disney Challenge Days 11 and 12

 

Disney Challenge Day #11: Favorite Love Song

"We're not saying you can change him,
'Cuz people don't really change.
We only say that love's a force
That's powerful and strange.
People make bad choices when they're
Mad or scared or stressed.
But throw a little love their way
And you'll bring out their best!"

And that my friends, is wisdom. Plain simple truth stated in a song sung by trolls. Therein lies the magic of Disney.

The song "Fixer Upper" from the new movie Frozen takes the cake for my favorite love song simply because it's true. No unrealistic expectations here. No 'smoke and mirrors' effect where someone tries to hide their flaws from their love interest. No deception. Just brutal honesty from his 'family' because they want to see him end up with someone who accepts and loves these flaws of his.
What more could you ask for?

I say yet again: if you haven't gone to see 'Frozen'...just go see it already. It's wonderful.

Disney Challenge Day #12: Favorite Villain Song

This one is slightly more obscure, but I still love it. My good friend pointed out to me about a year ago what a fantastic villain Frollo is from Hunchback of Notre Dame and I have to agree.
I've chosen Frollo's song "Hellfire" as my favorite villain song because it's a song that beautifully captures the difference between the heavenly aspirations of the monster Quasimodo as compared with the righteous justice that Frollo claims to have. On the soundtrack, the track begins with Quasimodo singing about the beauty of "Heaven's Light" and then it transitions right into Frollo singing about "Hellfire". Both men are singing about Esmeralda and the effect that she has on them. The juxtaposition is beautiful.
