Me, too! I even have it all ripped to iTunes. 
but of course!
Allow me to disagree – I thought the animation in “Beauty and the Beast” (haven’t seen the others recently enough to be able to comment well) was strikingly beautiful. Aside from the outstanding ballroom sequence, I remember the sunlight in the Beast’s library, the valley opening up before Belle in her little Sound of Music moment, and the birdfeeding/snowball sequence as being gorgeous.
I’ll grant you that there are some affecting moments, but overall the character animation is sub-par. The subtlety of expression that you see in movies like 101 Dalmations or The Emperor’s New Groove just isn’t there in Beauty and the Beast. Heck, in **The Little Mermaid ** Ariel often drifts in and out of perspective as she moves and she’s the title character. You don’t even see mistakes like that in The Black Cauldron!
I’m not trying to slam these movies – I just don’t like seeing them described as some of the studio’s best work. Now they’re certainly better than, say, a stinker like Home on the Range. But watch one of them back-to-back with a **Bambi ** or a **Pinocchio ** or a Lilo and Stitch and think you can make a good case that they’re over-rated.

But mainly as a Jazz standard.

For those of you who said you liked the Main Street Parade song, check out the Los Angeles Guitar Quintet’s neo-Baroque version.
I told my friends that when TPTB heard the song (“Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat”) it was so good they figured out a movie to showcase it with. At least, that’s my explaination.

Am I hallucinating, or is this the first Hunchback of Notre Dame song mentioned? Anyway, my favourite not yet mentioned is definitely “God Help the Outcasts” from that movie.
Weird bit of trivia: The guy who wrote “:Everybody wants to be a cat” was Al Rinker, who was a bandmate of Bing Crosby before he became famous. Rinker seems to be one of the sources for the background on Crosby in the biography “The Hollow Man”. I suspect Al wasn’t happy with the way he was treated. He continued on in music (appearing with Crosby once in the 1940s, a picture of which is in the book THM), but making no other big splashes except for this song.
Curiously, his credit, which used to be on the IMDB page for The Aristocats, isn’t there anymore. That page gives full credit to Floyd Huddleston. But Rinker is still given credit for the song on the 1996 101 Dalmations page:
Has anyone noticed that these songs are ear-wormier than most? Every time I read a post here, the song in my head changes.
a square with a horn, makes you wish you weren’t born, every time he plays…
I wasn’t a fan of the original song, but Lara Fabian’s French version, “Que Dieu aide les exclus” convinced me to think again.
That was great!
My daughter thought it would make an excellent wedding march (particularly for a Disney freak’s wedding, I guess). I can picture all the wedding guests thinking “…what *is * that song? sounds so familiar…”
Another one I forgot to mentions is, “River Lullaby” from “The Prince Of Egypt.”
I think that is a very pretty song.
I’m sure it is…but it’s not a Disney song.
Nuh uh. I could have sworn it was.
Nope. Dreamworks.
