My favorite song/sequence in any Disney movie...

[Danger Mouse]

It's 'Heaven's Light' and 'Hellfire' from the Hunchbank of Notre Dame.

I love this sequence so much. 'Hellfire' is probably the biggest risk Disney ever took in terms of mature content. It's the best villain song in a disney movie done by one of the better disney villains. Frollo is one of the few disney villains to have more than one dimension...and damn if some of the imagery in this song isn't just plain unsettling.
The weird red-robed figures, the ghostly images floating up at the end...

Anyway, anybody else have something that sticks in their mind?

1. Oh come on. What, are all of my threads obligated to sink immediately these days?

:banghead: Sweet Christmas!

So shoot me.

[Danger Mouse]

3. I love the scene with all the rats and cockroaches..

That part totally cracked me up.

10. 'Enchanted' took me by surprise...

I watched it without knowing what to expect... Loved it!

[RainDog]

4. The Seven Dwarfs singing Hi-ho

I always wished I could live with 7 dwarfs.

7. I love the music in "Lady in the Tramp"-- which is also my favorite movie.

"Bella Notte" -- so sweet!

And who could forget Peggy Lee's singing "The Siamese Cat Song"?

9. I agree

[AsahinaKimi]

11. The Little Mermaid made me cry..I loved the music..

But I love Ponyo more.. when that movie ended, I sat in the darkened movie house while the credits ran as fast as my tears.. Oh I loved me some Ponyo!

[Danger Mouse]

14. I still need to see that!!!

:)
It looks adorable.

[redqueen]

24. Yes!

Hah, now that song is in my head. :)

[DerekG]

12. Holy shit! You've seen "Hellfire!"

I put in the DVD years ago, expecting some warmed-over kiddie crap, and was knocked off my tuckus. The "Hellfire" piece was every bit as intense as John Williams's Duel of the Fates.

Everyone, stop raving about The Lion King, and take a gander at The Hunchback of Notre Dame! The best Disney film no one talks about!

[Danger Mouse]

15. I saw it in theaters as a teen, and it had a huge impact on me.

The part where he's backing up to the wall saying 'God have mercy on her...god have mercy on me...'
Damn. There's just no other Disney villain who would even think to say something like that.

[DerekG]

16. "Operatic" would be an understatement

The bookend piece, "Bells of Notre Dame," is almost as sublime.

"Bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells...bells...of....No-tre......Daaaaammmmeeeeee!!!!!!!"

[begin_within]

13. Crank up the volume...

17. I love "Under The Sea" from The Little Mermaid

[Coventina]

18. "Baby Mine" from Dumbo.

Can't watch it without sobbing....

So why is it my favorite?
I guess I enjoy feeling sad.
:shrug:

If I want to pick a happy sequence, I'd have to go with
"Once Upon A Dream" from Sleeping Beauty.

[Auggie]

19. I Wanna Be Like You

The Jungle Book

[MissHoneychurch]

20. "Prince Ali" in Aladdin

Especially in the end when Djafar says "extatic". Cracks me up every time :D

Top 100 Disney songs.

Probably half of them could be considered favorits.

[betharina]

[mitchum]

23. For me, it's the cats singing "We Are Siamese"

[redqueen]

25. Can't possibly pick a favorite.

Under the Sea, Kiss the Girl, Prince Ali, Honor to Us All, We Are Siamese, I Won't Say I'm In Love, Stay Awake, What's This?, Sally's Song, I Wanna Be Like You, Winnie the Pooh, Everybody Wants to Be a Cat... just too many to list.

[Cant trust em]

26. It's not really a song, but there's this little whistle tune in Peter Pan.

It's like where Peter Pan is about to show up and do something. Like a secret club handshake almost. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but if you know the movie, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

[betharina]

27. do do dooooo! that's the best i got. nt

[Common Sense Party]

28. The Sarah McLachlan song in Toy Story 2

Where the girl outgrows her Jessie doll. Very sad.
