You’ll *sniffles* Be *sniffles more* In *sobs* MY *BAWLS* HEAARRTTTTT 😭😭😭 Phil Collins didn’t have to go so hard but like, we love that he did. when we’re not sobbing.

there’s literally a track called cry okay? and it lives up to it’s full potential by making me get all weepy. but in like, a happy way. this movie is so lovely and so is the music!

no joke i only need to listen to 2 seconds of the opening track to tear up. idk why. just thinking about the thousands of years humans have spent exploring the ocean i suppose…and don’t even get me started on we know the way!!!! it’s a beautiful happy sort of crying that happens with this one.

if you can make it thru now we are free without crying, props to you man. couldn’t be me. honestly this whole thing is right up there with lotr as the best soundtrack of all time in terms of epicness and emotional impact. hans zimmer man. hans fucking zimmer.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! It was sad to hear a few days ago that legendary vocalist Tina Turner has passed away leaving quite the legacy behind. Still, I prefer to touch on a person’s work more than the person themselves most of the time and Mrs. Turner gave me a lot to choose from. Proud Mary, I Don’t Want To Lose You, What’s Love Got To Do With It. So many bangers. However, the one I’m choosing to highlight is one you probably don’t expect: Great Spirits. The first song in the 2002 Walt Disney animated movie, Brother Bear, a movie I watched a lot as a kid and one of two Disney movies where Phil Collins did the soundtrack. But Phil didn’t sing the version in the film. That was all Tina and she brought so much heart and soul to a song that not only portrays the themes central to the movie, not only does it give a brief but insightful look into the culture the movie portrays, not only gives off an overwhelming sense of majesty about it but it’s super catchy as well. If that doesn’t scream wonderful then I have absolutely no idea what to tell you. Rest in peace, Tina Turner. Your status as the Queen of Rock and Roll was well deserved.

>lin-manuel miranda isn't coming back for Moana 2

I'm losing even more hope in this movie guys. I've never heard of Barlow and Bear until just now. they were the ones who made the "unofficial Bridgerton musical" and got sued over it. but it did win a grammy, so....it can't be too bad, right...?

At least Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina are back.

oh, and the movie isn't even directed by Clements and Musker. yeah this is def giving "b-team sequel that was intended for disney+ but got moved to theaters"

Planes Fire and Rescue Thoughts

I'm really late to the punch on both Planes movies, and only recently watched them.

I was really surprised at how good Planes: Fire and Rescue was. Like it was a LOT better than I was expecting.

I had only two issues:

Dipper. WTF did they have to make her creep on Dusty like that. Reminds me of some of my old boyfriends...

I know they had to do it since they were planning to do a third movie...but I'm sorta upset that Maru managed to rebuild Dusty's gearbox "better than new." Like, I think it would have been more poignant to have Maru partially fix it, like enough that Dusty could fly and fight fires...but not much more than that lest it break, again. It would have been a great message about how people with disabilities can still do amazing things while disabled.

I dunno...I'm kinda tipsy rn. But the ending just felt sorta hollow IMO...

Things I loved about it:

The cinematography was so much better than the first movie. And the score by Mark Mancina! WOOOO! So. Freaking. Good.

They did a fuck ton of research about wildfire fighting crews and it shows.

MAYDAY. And the fact that he knows Sarge is a neat nod to the Cars movies.

MUIR Favorite background "pony." Just...why doesn't he talk? Is he mute? Are older trains mute? Like he was gonna burn to death in a fire and he just whistled sadly...

Cad Spinner. I fucking love him. Great antagonist right up there with Chick, Miles and Sterling. He's a dick...but he's fun to watch.

The whole flying to Piston Peak scene. It reminds me of my time in college doing field work out in the Sierra Nevadas....

Not to bag on Wish when it’s become so ridiculously popular to do…but I watched the Wish promotional preshow at California Adventure’s World of Color: Season of Light not too long ago and it really accented why I think the soundtrack just didn’t resonate with general audiences as much as a lot of Disney’s other faire —

Because here’s the thing: I like This Wish as a song. I like several songs from the movie — a lot. I even have them on my ITunes and listen to them on the regular! And this is while finding the finished movie distinctly ehhhh. But it’s important to remember who wrote these songs — not musical theater or even film scoring people, but pop composers Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice. And no, this is NOT a problem by itself — Elton John and Phil Collins were brought on-board the musician teams for other Disney projects, and there were plenty of Tin Pan Alley and contemporary artists brought on board to help score other films, like Peggy Lee for Lady and the Tramp. But it is important to remember how very different writing songs for the music industry is from writing songs for a film or theatrical production.

In musical theater as well as in most successful musical films, each song is very much custom-tailored for a very specific character or group of characters in a very specific scene in a very specific story in a very specific environment. It is used to communicate a lot that the film/theater medium can’t do easily. In the case of theater specifically, it can help flesh out the setting in the case of sparse set dressing, but in both cases it can help with transitioning scenes and give us a closer look into the psyche of the character(s), since unlike in a book, we can’t read their internal thoughts to know how they feel about something. And without the story giving proper context, generally the song doesn’t make as much sense. Yes, there are a few classic Disney songs like A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes that can be divorced more easily from their context than others, but could you do the same for the Mice’s Song or Bippidi Boppidi Boo? Perhaps Can You Feel the Love Tonight? can easily be parsed out of The Lion King by removing the intro/outro with Timon and Pumbaa, but not so much with songs like Hakuna Matata and Be Prepared. With most truly successful Disney soundtracks, like the ones for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, Encanto or even Mary Poppins — the ones people remember in their entirety — you can’t tell those stories well without the songs, and the songs likewise can’t be completely stripped of their original context. And in the case of Tarzan’s soundtrack, where the music is more easily divorced from the movie’s story, it’s not a traditional musical where characters belt their feelings out through song; instead the songs are used more like accompaniment for a scene, like songs placed over certain film scenes to evoke mood or connect disparate scenes together in a montage, rather than the centerpiece. (Not to mention that both Elton John and Phil Collins collaborated with Lebo M/Hans Zimmer and Mark Mancina, respectively, in order to integrate instruments and sounds that would evoke their film’s settings and sew the melodies of their lyrical numbers into the full film score.)

Contrast this with the kind of music you’d hear on the radio, and pop music in particular. In this field, you’re generally not writing a song for a specific character or group of characters, but rather to appeal to as many different people as possible. You generally want the person listening to the song to identify with the words themselves — to place themselves in the role of the singer — not use the song to help tell a story about someone else. So usually it’s more favorable to keep a pop song’s lyrics vague and more focused on general emotions about a situation rather than anything specific, so as to make it easier for many different kinds of people to see themselves and their own experiences in what’s being sung. This is what prompts emotions out of your audience, for the pop music industry -- the feeling of "Yes! These words speak to me!", whether because you relate to them or they inspire you as an individual.

Kind of like Disney’s park music.

Compare I'm a Star or At All Costs to the music for the Happily Ever After fireworks show or Start a Wave from World of Color: One. They’re much closer in vibe to those tracks in my opinion than to a lot of Disney’s other movie musical work. Hell, even the Sherman Brothers’ work like There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and It’s a Small World are much more about theme and emotion rather than plot!

This doesn’t make the songs in Wish bad, necessarily — that’s definitely much more up to personal opinion. I would just argue the music style isn’t as effective in telling a story as it is in just inspiring emotions in people. It’s like how Russell Crowe, who sings in a band, still wasn’t the best fit in a lot of people’s minds to sing in the film adaptation of an operatic Broadway musical like Les Miserables. And of course considering that Disney hyped Wish and its music up so much with its marketing beforehand, it makes sense that some Disney fans — and Disney musical fans in particular — had such a dramatic reaction to the finished result. Regardless of the quality of the songs on their own, they weren’t what audiences expected and in some cases really wanted from a Disney musical movie. And since Disney and music have gone so hand-in-hand for so long, with Uncle Walt himself remarking multiple times about how important it was that any music should help tell the story, it is an understandable thing to get hung up on.
