1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I'm your 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: host Movie Mike on Twitter and Instagram at Mike Destro. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: That's Mike d E s t r oh. Pretty excited 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: about this week's episode. I am talking about the most 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: underrated Disney movie songs of all time. I feel like 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: there's just some I feel like there are just some 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: great Disney songs that kind of go unnoticed and you 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: don't really hear when they do all these big elaborate 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: musical specials about Disney songs, that these just don't get 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: the credit they deserve. So I wanted to pull them 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: all together for an episode and highlight some of those. 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Also asked a bunch of you guys on Twitter your 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: opinion on what you think are the best ones, so 14 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: I included those as well. So this is all about 15 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: the underdogs songs of Disney, the ones that don't get 16 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: the recognition, like maybe Elsa and let It Go. But 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they're not great songs. So we'll 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: talk about that. I also want to get into what 19 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: is known as the Disney Dark Age. If you don't 20 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: know what that is, but it sounds interesting to you, 21 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: you better stick around and kind of find out what 22 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: is dubbed as the kind of war Disney movies of 23 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: all time, and I'll explain why they were so bad 24 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: and unmemorable, and then I'll also give my review of 25 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: the movie Hamilton's. Yes, I'm calling it a movie because 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: now it's on Disney Plus and you can watch it 27 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: in your home. And I did have the whole debate 28 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: on whether or not this constitutes as a movie. Yes, 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: I meant to use the word constitutes, because you get it, 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: constitute constitution. You just had to throw in an American 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: pun in there. But I've never seen anything from Hamilton's 32 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: before this. I've never listened to the soundtrack. And after 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: watching it and realizing, wow, this is actually a cinematic 34 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: piece and translate into a movie, I decided I have 35 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: to review it as a movie because it was supposed 36 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: to get a theatrical release next year and ended up 37 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: just dropping early. So kind of a little breath of 38 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: fresh air of having something new to watch. So if 39 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: you like music, if you like Disney, if you like Hamilton's, 40 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: I think this is the episode for you. And maybe 41 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: not even just to you, maybe a friend too. So 42 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: it would really mean a lot to me. If you 43 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: know somebody who's maybe into all these things, you would 44 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: enjoy this episode.

Alright, 61 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: With all that said, and without any further ado, let's 62 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: get into this week's episode. Let's get started. In a 63 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one 64 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never 65 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast. A man with so much 66 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking Audi MTV with 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcaster. Alright, 68 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: so today I want to talk about the most underrated 69 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Disney movie songs of all time. Because we all know 70 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: the big ones. You know that you got a friend 71 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: in me the letter goes, the Kuna Matatas, all the 72 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: really big Disney songs, But I feel like there are 73 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: some that just kind of go unnoticed and unrecognized. So 74 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to pull them all together in this one 75 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: episode to kind of show some light to these songs 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: that maybe you forgot you even saw in these movies, 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: or maybe once he had never even heard of. Because 78 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: kind of when I was pulling this list together, I 79 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: realized that altogether, some of these Disney movies are just 80 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: highly underrated, and I feel they need to go back 81 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: and kind of appreciate them for what they were. And 82 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: I was kind of trying to think of why. I 83 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: think maybe some of these songs are underrated, and maybe 84 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: they're not as big and cinematic as the other ones 85 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: they weren't the real big hit off of these movies, 86 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: and some of these movies just aren't as well known. 87 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: But there's are some really great songs, not just those 88 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Disney songs. But I feel it's just any other kind 89 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: of song. And you know, I see these specials come 90 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: out where they do like you know, Dancing with the 91 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: Stars would do Disney Night or American and I would 92 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: do Disney Night, or they'll do like these families singing lungs, 93 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: and they all do the big ones. But I feel 94 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: like sometimes there are some space in there to throw 95 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: in someone a little more obscure Disney songs, because they're 96 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: all really great. And the great thing about Disney is 97 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: they usually put a lot of effort into their songs 98 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: because that's really where a lot of the money is. 99 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: If you get a really big hit from a movie, 100 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: you can make a lot of money of it. Not 101 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: only could you win a you know, oscar from the movie, 102 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: but you could also win a Grammy as well. So 103 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: I put together a list of some of my favorites, 104 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: and I also asked to much of you guys on 105 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: Twitter what you thought were some underrated songs, and I'll 106 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: throw those in as well, But I just wanted to 107 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: have a place where all these kind of this then 108 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: you can hear these and maybe you go back and 109 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: think of like, oh maybe as you go back and 110 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: check out that Disney movie or just check out some 111 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: of these songs. You can all search them up on 112 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: YouTube or find them wherever you listen to Disney music 113 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: in your car. But anyway, I got eight of these. 114 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: I'll go through them one by one and talk about them, 115 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: and then I'll throw an honorable mention before I get 116 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: the number one. Kind of a whole another topic I'll 117 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: get into after this about Disney, and then it's kind 118 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: of a whole Disney musical episode. So we'll just run 119 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: with it, starting off first with number eight. It's going 120 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: to Colors of the Wind from pocahont Can you paint 121 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: with all the Colors of the Wind? Now? The reason 122 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: I put this one at number eight because I did 123 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: feel like this is right on the edge of being 124 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: a big Disney song and being an underrated song. Now. Personally, 125 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: I think this is my favorite Disney song of all time, 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: mainly because when I listened to it now is an 127 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: adult I've it really makes me feel something For some reason, 128 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: and I kind of visualize how it was the first 129 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: time I saw it as a kid, and how I 130 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: hear it now, And this is really just a great song. 131 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: Not only or is the singing in it really great. 132 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: I just feel it's a really emotional song and one 133 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: that doesn't get a whole lot of credit and recognition, 134 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: maybe because it's lower, maybe because it's harder to do 135 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: it's a cover, but I feel it's a really great song. 136 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: But it's also just right there on the edge of 137 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: sometimes it will be recognized as being a bigger song. 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: But I feel Pocahones as a whole is kind of 139 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: an underrated Disney movie. It did come out like in 140 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the nineties and win a bunch of these other really 141 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: big Disney movies, and I felt like it was just 142 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: on the lower tier of that. But being on the 143 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: lower tier of that kind of really golden Renaissance age 144 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: of Disney movies, I feel it just had tough competition 145 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: around it. So sometimes you don't really go back to 146 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: this one all that much. But I just feel like 147 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: this is such a great song. At number seven, I 148 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: had a bunch of people tweet about this one, and 149 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: it's I'll make a Man out of You from Mulan, 150 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: and it's actually Donny Osmond singing this version in the 151 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: movie Bath before Mr Ah Make a Man out of Again. 152 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I also feel like Mulan is kind of an underrated 153 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: Disney movie, and I'm kind of really curious to see 154 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: how the live action version kind of translates, because there's 155 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: no songs in the live action version like there is 156 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: in the animated one. Like they took out some major 157 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: elements from the animated one to make it more of 158 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: a realistic live action remake, which I've had kind of 159 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: conflicting issues and feelings about the new Disney remakes, where 160 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: of course it's the movies that we and I a 161 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: bunch of people loved as a kid, and sometimes you 162 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: get into that kind of mindset of like you like 163 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: what you were into as a kid, and you always 164 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: will remember it that way, and when you see it 165 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: being redone, you're gonna kinda pick it apart and saying 166 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: it's not as good as the original. Now. I feel 167 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: in some ways that Disney has has got it right 168 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: and making these cool live action movies and making them 169 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: kind of different, But I also feel like they kind 170 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: of take a little bit away of the of the 171 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: magic of Disney and the reason they were so kind 172 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: of revolutionary in the nineties of making these really masterpiece 173 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: movies but doing them through animation and doing it through 174 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: all the voice over work and really making them come 175 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: to life. I feel you kind of lose a generation 176 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: of that when you kind of do the live action stuff. 177 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: So Mulan is gonna be a very interesting one to 178 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: do because it just kind of looks like a straight 179 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: of war movie, like a Disney war movie, without kind 180 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: of the fun and kind of fun nature that the 181 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: cartoon had. So I wonder how that will be received 182 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: in theaters if it even comes out in theaters, which 183 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: is the way things are looking now. It's been pushed 184 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: back even further, so it's like, how is that going 185 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: to come across? And then if we don't end up 186 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: getting to see it in the big screen, how is 187 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: that going to put in at home? So again, I 188 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: still feel like the animated version of Mulan is an 189 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: rated and this is just a really great song and 190 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: looks like a bunch of people. And I think a 191 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: lot of you guys on Twitter agree with me as well, 192 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: because I got a lot of tweets for this one 193 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: at number six, I am putting I won't Sam in 194 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: love from the movie Hercules, I love my Heart, Like 195 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: I was just talking about Mulan. They have confirms they 196 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: are making live action Hercules, and I feel a little 197 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: bit different about this one because this one is set 198 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: in fantasy, and while Hercules is a real godlike human 199 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: looking figure, I think putting it into that fantasy world 200 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: will still have that kind of cartoon element despite it 201 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: being quote unquote live action. A lot of this, you know, 202 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: because they use kind of live action as saying that 203 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: they put real actors in it, and kind of it's 204 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: just not animated because their live action Li Lion King 205 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: really wasn't live action. It was all computer animation and 206 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: made to look very realistic, but it really was just 207 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: kind of a highly advanced animation in the sense. So 208 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: I feel like this one placed in a fantasy unlike 209 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: Mulans kind of placed in like a real life worst situation. 210 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: This one has the ability to kind of transfer over 211 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: a little bit better. I feel it being more kind 212 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: of like the remake of Aladdin. But I thought there 213 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: was a lot of really great music in this movie 214 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: and a lot of what I think about when I 215 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: remember this movie is all the kind of music sequences 216 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: and the way they tell the story through the songs, 217 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: and they're all maybe so tied into the plot that 218 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: there's nothing really that can be branched out into being 219 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: its own song. And I feel like this one song 220 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: in particular does that pretty much really well, and it's 221 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: probably the only one to kind of break off from that, 222 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,239 Speaker 1: and one I feel that really doesn't get enough recognition. 223 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: I know when they did do that family sing along 224 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: the song, Ariana Grande saying, was this song so like 225 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: at Ariana Grande shouting out of underrated Disney song? Like 226 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: I bet they even wanted her to do like a 227 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: more popular song. But it's pretty cool that she did 228 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: that one one whole lot of people, don't You? At 229 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: number five one of my favorite Disney movies. I did 230 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: a whole kind of discussion on this one why I 231 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: feel it's such an underrated Disney movie. But this song 232 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: in particular, I'm talking about Eye to Eye from a 233 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: Goofy movie is at number five. Now, this song just 234 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: makes me feel good. This whole movie just really makes 235 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: me feel good, and the kind of musical element to 236 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: it is pretty cool because they create this fictional pop 237 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: star named power Line, and he has these original songs 238 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: that are actually really good, and it's kind of funny 239 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: when you create a fictional pop star in a movie. 240 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: And the hardest thing probably about making a fictional pop 241 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: star in a movie and really just making any kind 242 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: of original song for a movie that's intended to be 243 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: a hit in the movie is actually making a good song. 244 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: And I feel they had like probably two really great 245 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: power Line songs in this movie, but this one in 246 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: particular just made me feel really good because it's at 247 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the very end of the movie where Goofy and his 248 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: son Max actually get to perform it with power Line 249 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: and just has that really good feeling that kind of 250 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: wraps up a Disney movie because the pop star power 251 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: Line is kind of Michael Jackson esque. He has that 252 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: kind of dance slash, high pitched vocals and really energetic songs, 253 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: and I just thought this was a really great song 254 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: from that movie. So underrated movie, even more underrated song. 255 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: At number four, I had to go with the song 256 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: from Janna and It's Your Welcome, which is performed by 257 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: The Rocks. So I'm putting this one at number four 258 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: except Welcome Well, the Times, the Sun the Sky. I 259 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: had a bunch of you guys tweet about my wanna 260 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: and this song in particular, and I have to admit 261 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: when I first saw wanted to do this all, admit 262 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: that I was not that big a fan of it. 263 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: And I've said before that I am not a big 264 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: musical fan. I like movies that have songs in it, 265 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: and I feel like there's a difference like straight on 266 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: musicals where they just burst into song. I'm not really 267 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: a fan of I like movies like The Lion King 268 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: that are storytelling but have songs in between them, and 269 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a difference in that. But I 270 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: felt Muana was a lot more Broadway esque, and that's 271 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: probably because Linn Manuel Miranda did all the music for it, 272 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: and just watching it, I felt it wasn't really for me, 273 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: and it wasn't until it came out later and I 274 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: rewatched it, I was like, Oh, this is actually really good. 275 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Like I would remember going on YouTube and seeing just 276 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: the songs for this and I'm like, that's actually a 277 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: really good song, and it kind of got stuck in 278 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: my head. And the thing I like about this one 279 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: is that actually the Rock singing this, and he was, 280 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, coached by Lin Manuel Miranda when they recorded 281 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: the vocals for this, And I just think it's really 282 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: cool that he actually did this because in a lot 283 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: of all these other ones, they'll have the voice actors 284 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: who do the voice for the animated characters, but they'll 285 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: usually bring in somebody to do the singing part. But 286 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: the fact that the Rock actually made an effort and 287 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: sang on this song, and I remember the Rock back 288 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: of the day when he was doing w WF he 289 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: put out like an actual single, as the Rock is 290 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: not a great singer, so for him to be coached 291 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: by these guys to actually sing and do a really 292 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: good song, I just thought that was awesome. And this 293 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: song always just kind of stuck out to me. I 294 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: think the song from this movie that usually gets the 295 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: most credit is how Far I'll Go, which is another 296 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: really great song, but I feel that one kind of 297 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: gets more of the attention it deserves, and this is 298 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: one I felt was just underrated because it really brings 299 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: the Rocks character to life in that movie and kind 300 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: of explains what he's all about. But I also just 301 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: think that Muanna is a really important movie for Disney 302 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: and if you haven't seen it, it is on Disney Plus, 303 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: so you can go watch that. And if you're kind 304 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: of an unbeliever in musicals like I am, I think 305 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: you'll enjoy it, even if you have to give it 306 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: a second chance. At number three, I am putting a 307 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: song from the movie Tarzan. It's called Strangers Like Me. 308 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: So this song, along with the rest of the soundtrack, 309 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: was written and recorded by Phil Collins, which I feel 310 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: it really gives this movie kind of an identity. And 311 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: while the song You'll Be in My Heart went on 312 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: to win a Grammy, I feel like it's the really 313 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: the biggest one from this movie. But for me, I 314 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: remember watching the movie and when this song Strangers Like 315 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: Me came on, it was a really emotional moment where 316 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: Tarzan is kind of learning about himself and realizing that 317 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: he is not like the apes he grew up around, 318 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: and he's realizing, oh, there are other human beings out there. 319 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: And I feel like at that point I kind of 320 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: connected with Tarzan and feeling like, oh, there's something else 321 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: that's there's actually other people like me. I'm not just 322 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: the weird kind of outcast, and there's just something so 323 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: cinematic about this one. Unlike like You'll Be in My Heart. 324 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: I get it's a great song and a very emotional song, 325 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: but this one, I feel like kind of uplifts you 326 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: a little bit while it's still kind of making you 327 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: feel a little bit sad. And it just is my 328 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: favorite song from this movie and this movie, like some 329 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: of the other ones on this list, I feel it's 330 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: a very underrated Disney movie, mainly because the endnimation in 331 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: this one, I feel it's really great, Like Tarzan looks 332 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: different than any other really Disney character I've seen, and 333 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: it's still in the two D kind of animation, which 334 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: I love and I'm kind of a bigger fan of, 335 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: and just all the movements of him, like flying through 336 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: the jungle and doing all the kind of weird acrobatics 337 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: I felt was really kind of Disney animation at its best, 338 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: Like I like it when it's just straight up like 339 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: classic drawings better than some of the computer animated stuff, which, 340 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, is great, but there's just something 341 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: a little more magical about animation when it's done this way, 342 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: and I think it's done so perfectly in this The 343 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: voices in this are great, and like I said, the 344 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: soundtrack really just brings it all together really as a whole. 345 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: There's not a bad song in the movie, but I 346 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: feel like this one just doesn't get the credit it deserves. 347 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: At number two, I'm going over to a classic, so 348 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: not an underrated Disney movie by any means, The Lion King. 349 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: So many great songs in The Lion King, but I 350 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: feel one that just doesn't get the credit it deserves 351 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: is from Scar himself, one of the greatest Disney villains. 352 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: It's when he sings be Prepared. I feel like Scar 353 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: is one of the greatest Disney villains of all time 354 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: because he's the ultimate. He straight up kills Mufassa and 355 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: then tries to kill Simba. Like it doesn't get more 356 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: vicious and heart wrenching than Scar. Like, I just think 357 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: he's the best Disney villain, hands down. Name another Disney villain, 358 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: Go ahead, I'll wait so you can't name one, Scott, 359 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: I think Scar is just the best. And this song 360 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: kind of ties together what Scars about. And it's kind 361 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: of a weird point in the movie because it just 362 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: goes from being, you know, all about Simba and all 363 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: about Mufassa to this point of like it gets kind 364 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: of really dark for a second and almost really weird 365 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: with the hyenas dancing around and all the smoke and everything, 366 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: and then it turns like this green color that's coming 367 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: up and it's Scars singing the song. And I have 368 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: a feeling that some people are like, this is kind 369 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: of a weird point of the movie, and why would 370 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: you think that this is one of the greatest songs 371 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: and underrated. I just think that musically it's a really 372 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: great song. I love Scars singing. Something about his voice 373 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: is just really dynamic, and the entire movie of having 374 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: that kind of haraspy, dark, sinister villain voice and to 375 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: have a song just kind of go off like this 376 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: where he essentially says, you know what, I'm gonna be 377 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: the next king and this is me taking over and 378 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: telling all the hyenas this plan. It's just such a 379 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: dark moment in the movie, aside from Prost's death of course, 380 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: and the scene itself is so big and cinematic of alls, 381 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: and you know, the hyena is doing this weird dance 382 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: and kind of prancing around in the dark. I just 383 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: feel it gets overshadowed by some of the other big 384 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: songs like a Kuna Matata can You Feel the Love Tonight. 385 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: There's just so many great songs in this movie that, 386 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: of course one woman is going to kind of go 387 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: off and be like, Okay, maybe that's not the biggest 388 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: song from the movie, but I just feel it's really great. 389 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: And the next Disney family sing long they do, I 390 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: challenge the celebrity to sing this song. I think it'd 391 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: be amazing. Alright, So that was number two. I gotta 392 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: throw an honorable mention before we get to number one. 393 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: It's from one of my favorite Disney movies, Lilo and 394 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: Stitch Hawaiian roller Coaster Ride. I just love this song. 395 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: Anything that makes me feel like I'm in a tropical 396 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: place makes me smile. And I remember getting to visit 397 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: Hawaii for the first time a couple of years ago, 398 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: and we actually stayed at this Disney resort and they 399 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: had like a Stitch statue, and I remember like thinking, like, 400 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: oh man, I'm finally made it. Like the movie I 401 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: watched as a kid and always thought of going to Hawaii, 402 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: I'm finally here. And it reminded me of that scene. 403 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: And it's just something that takes me back to I 404 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: guess childhood or some kind of good memory of being 405 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: at a beach and I hear this song and it 406 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: makes me think of that. And now after that trip, 407 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: I went back and watched Lilo and Stitch and had 408 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: a better connection with the song of now out as 409 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: an adult being able to say I went to Hawaii, 410 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: something I never thought I would be able to do. 411 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of why this song kind 412 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: of speaks to me now. And there's not a whole 413 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: lot to this song, and like the lyrics, doesn't think 414 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: really big about it, but it's just that feeling it 415 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: gives me. I feel it was a great original song 416 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: for this movie and you can't hear it without smiling, 417 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: so I had to shout it out as an honorable mention. 418 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: But now we have arrived to number one, and we're 419 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: going all the way back to the movie called Oliver 420 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: and Company, and the song is why Should I Worry? 421 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: The song is actually performed by Billy Joel, and the 422 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: voice of the dog Dodger in this movie is actually 423 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: Billy Joel. As a kid, I didn't know that. I 424 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: didn't know who Billy Joel was. I just knew I 425 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: love this song. And Oliver and Company. I would agree 426 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: that it's a pretty obscure Disney movie because it's kind 427 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: have been this weird realm Oliver and Company was one 428 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: of my favorite Disney movies as a kid, and I 429 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: remember just putting the tape in, hitting play and just 430 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: kind of being taken away. It starts off kind of 431 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: sad because Oliver, if you haven't seen the movie, as 432 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: this cat who gets abandoned in New York city's basically 433 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: a stray cat put up for adoption. He's like in 434 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: this little box and he sees all these other kittens 435 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: getting taken being adopted, and then he's just left in 436 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: the box. It starts raining, the box tears apart, and 437 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: he's essentially washed away in New York City and he 438 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: goes to live with a bunch of dogs and kind 439 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: of becomes one of them, which was kind of a 440 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: departure for Disney, who was at the time doing just 441 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: really fantasy movies or just movies based in a whole 442 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: different realm or part of the world, and here you 443 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: have a very realistic movie about a kind of a 444 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: darker subject. In a way, said in New York City 445 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: and just kind of tackling something different maybe even feels 446 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: a little less timeless like all the other movies that 447 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: they have put out before, and they even brought in 448 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: like different actors to kind of make it maybe more 449 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: pop culture at the time. Again this and I just 450 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: felt like this was a really great song. It's a 451 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: really big, single, long song and one that I maybe 452 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: as a kid only knew like five lyrics from him, 453 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: would sing it all the time. I just feel it 454 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: has a lot of personality. The movie has a lot 455 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: of charm, and this song in particular kind of embodies 456 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: everything in the movie in this one song. And kind 457 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: of knowing now that it is Billy Joel actually singing 458 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: this song makes it a little bit cooler and it 459 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: kind of makes more sense now. But I just felt 460 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: like this song is such a big anthem to kind 461 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 1: of not go noticed by some of the other Disney 462 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: songs that I had to include it and make it 463 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: my number one most underrated Disney song of all the time. 464 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: And it also leads me to my next topic. So anyway, 465 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: that's the list and what I want to get into next, 466 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: because I did talk about Oliver and Company is what's 467 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: known as the Disney Dark Age. So it's basically a 468 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: bunch of movies that Disney put out that didn't perform 469 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: as well. I'll kind of explain why it's called a 470 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: dark age and why these movies didn't really work, and 471 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: then keeping with the theme, I will get into my 472 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: review of Hamilton's which is now on Disney Plus. I'll 473 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: review it as a guy, like I said, who doesn't 474 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: really like musical. So all that right after this break. 475 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: All right, so now I want to talk about the 476 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: Disney Dark Age. So let me explain what it is 477 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: first of all, and kind of how I stumbled upon this. 478 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: So I was talking about Oliver and Company, which came 479 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: out in nine and I remember watching this movie on 480 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: VHS as a kid, and I knew it was a 481 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: Disney movie, but I also felt like it had a 482 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: different feel to it. The animation was a little bit different. Again, 483 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: as a kid, you don't really think a whole lot 484 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: about how a cartoon is made, and maybe you can't 485 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: tell the difference between a Lion King and Oliver and Company. 486 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: But when I was looking about stuff in this movie 487 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: and how it was made, I realized that it was 488 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: a part of something called the Disney Dark Age, which 489 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: they have different eras that they kind of dubbed for 490 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: the different years they put out movies. So it goes 491 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: way back to when they were first up the kind 492 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: of the classic Disney movies to all the stuff they 493 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: are doing now. So it goes from the Golden Age, 494 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: the Wartime Era, the Silver Age, the Dark Age, which 495 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: i'll talk about here in the second also sometimes called 496 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: the Bronze Age, and then they have the Renaissance which 497 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: was in the nineties, the Post Renaissance, which was the 498 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: early two thousand stuff, and then the Revival Era, which 499 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: is everything from the two thousand tens to the present time. 500 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: So when you think of stuff in the Golden Age, 501 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: it's all the really early Disney stuff like Snow White, 502 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: Seven Doors, Pinocchio, all those really just straight up Disney classics. 503 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: And maybe someday I'll do kind of a breakdown on 504 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: each of these eras, but today I want to talk 505 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: about the Dark Age. So we're about forty years from 506 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: those original Disney movies, the ones that Walt Disney himself 507 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: had a hand in doing. But then Walt Disney died 508 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: on December fifteen, nineteen sixty six and after that it 509 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: was basically people who worked under Disney kind of continuing 510 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: the legacy of Disney and holding true to the kind 511 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: of the vale use of what he put into movies. 512 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: All the animation, all the stuff was basically hand drawn. 513 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: So there are twenty four frames per second in an 514 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: animated movie, and that means that they straight up draw 515 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: all twenty four frames per second in every single animated 516 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: movie before that. And this process takes a very long time. 517 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're working on you know, these really big canvases. 518 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking like things that you know, stretch out the 519 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: length of your arms to make these movies, and that 520 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: takes a lot of word to hand paint or hand 521 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: animate every single frame. Like that's an intense process. But 522 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: what you get is a really lively picture that looks 523 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: like everything is moving and everything has a feel to it. 524 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like you're watching an animade movie. And 525 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: that's what makes those early movies great in classics. And 526 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: Walt Disney himself made it a point to never cut 527 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: any kind of corners when making these movies. So they 528 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: go through the wartime area, they go through the silver rage, 529 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: and then they get to the Dark Age, which was 530 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: you know era that lasted from nineteen eighty one to 531 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, and the movies that came out during 532 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: this time were like The Fox and the Hound in one, 533 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: the Black Cauldron in The Great Mouse Detective in nineteen 534 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: eight six, and then ended with Oliver and Company in 535 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: eight Yes, some other movies starting in there. And when 536 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: you look at these movies, you can tell that they 537 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: feel different. That's mainly because all the original guys who 538 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: were there under Disney, we're pretty much all gone and 539 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: they have new guys coming in, new animators making these movies, 540 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: and they start to lose a bit of their charm 541 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: because they changed away. They did animation essentially because they 542 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: were trying to find a way to essentially make these 543 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: movies for less. They were spending less on animation, they 544 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: were spending less on production budgets, and a lot of 545 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: these movies were scaled down. So what they started using 546 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: was something called the xerox process, which xerox is essentially 547 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: copying animation and reusing it in another way. So what 548 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: you start seeing in some of these movies as they'll 549 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: double up on character. So in a scene where maybe 550 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: you have four or eight different kind of characters forming 551 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: a group. What they ended up doing is just copying 552 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: every single character and making them look exactly the same 553 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: to maybe make a crowd. So it kind of loses 554 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: that appeal of them individually drawing each one, and they're 555 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: kind of just finding different ways to cut corners. They 556 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: even use like different animation kind of sequences from older 557 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: movies and recycle them to make new characters use movements 558 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: that were already used by older characters. So they found 559 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: all these kind of ways to cut corners to save costs, 560 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 1: and what you end up getting is kind of a 561 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: little more lifeless of an animated movie. A lot of 562 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: it's a lot more stiff. The animation is less fluid 563 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: because they're cutting down so much. And when you watch 564 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: these now, if you pull up some clips on YouTube 565 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: or you go watch them on Disney Plus, you can 566 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: kind of notice, like in the background, a lot of 567 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: this stuff is like not as well animated, Like the 568 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: background doesn't move at all, and it's essentially just the 569 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: characters moving in the foreground, So you kind of pick 570 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: up on that. Maybe the thinking was that, you know, 571 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: with kids watching these, they're not gonna notice if the 572 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: background is not moving. But watching them and looking back 573 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: at some of these times, you kind of realized that 574 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: they kind of lost it a bit. Not only were 575 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: they cutting back on the animation, but I feel like 576 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: some of the stories on this kind of got away 577 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: from the Disney brand, which was, you know, these big 578 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: elaborate fairy tales essentially they created. They were going kind 579 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: of more realistic and more dark and creating these stories 580 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: that didn't really resonate with kids or resonate with really 581 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: any audiences. So I think a lot of these movies 582 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: just get overlooked. I actually remember watching a lot of 583 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: these movies in school because every now and then we 584 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: would have a movie day, and whenever it was like 585 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: a Disney movie, you'd be really excited because you hope 586 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: maybe it was toy story, the Lion King or something. 587 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: But once you kind of got down the list, I 588 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: felt like they would bust out some of these older 589 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: movies and you can kind of tell that they were 590 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: a little bit boring. Nothing really happened in these, even 591 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: some of these were like longer like. They also just 592 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: look very scratchy and kind of drawn together weird, and 593 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: there's just no really dynamic characters in this it's just 594 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of kind of mediocre stories and really mediocre characters. 595 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: Robin Hood, there was a Winnie the Pooh movie made, 596 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: the Rescuers, Fox In the Hound, The Great Mouse Detective. 597 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: All those movies were a part of this Dark Age. 598 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: So I feel like these are all movies that really 599 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: get talked about now. Maybe they have a little bit 600 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: of charm because you remember them from your childhood, but 601 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: even I remember watching these and not being impressed with 602 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: them and being like, oh, it's okay, Like it's an 603 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: animated movie, but it kind of feels like a chort 604 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: of watch. So if you've ever wondered why these movies 605 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: aren't as great, that's why they were part of the 606 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: Dark Age. They were trying to save money. So yeah, 607 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: that's it for that era. Maybe I'll break down some 608 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: more of these because I think it's kind of fun 609 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: to go back and look how these movies were made, 610 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: mainly because Disney is just so much of a juggernaut 611 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: when it comes to making iconic films that it's kind 612 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: of rare that they fail. But I would kind of 613 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: also like to determine and figure out what happened when 614 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: they you know, we're in the Golden Age, Like what 615 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: went right at that time to make those movies so 616 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: great and memorable? All right, take a quick break now 617 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: and then get back with the review of Hamilton's. All right, now, 618 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: I want to get into my review of Hamilton's. And 619 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: let me just say first of all, that I kind 620 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: of debated whether or not I should review this as 621 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: a movie because it's essentially a filming of the actual 622 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: play with all the original cast, and it was made 623 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: available on July three, right before July four, and it 624 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: actually dropped early. Wasn't supposed to come out to like 625 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: next year, and I was like, well, is it a movie? 626 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: Like it's just a play, But now it's kind of 627 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: being streamed into our houses. So after watching it, I'll 628 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: have to say I felt different about it. Before I 629 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: get into the whole review, here's just a little bit 630 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: of Hamilton's. Alexander Hamilton, my name is sound Alexander Hamilton. 631 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: There's a million things I haven't done, just you just 632 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: all right. So this movie was anitially meant to come 633 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: out in theaters next year October when I was supposed 634 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: to come out, but because of coronavirus, Disney was like, 635 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: you know what, we have this, we're sitting on it. 636 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: Let's just release it now, right before July four, and 637 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: I think people will love it. Not only that they 638 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: probably made a lot of money off this because Disney 639 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: Plus took away the seven day trial, the free seven 640 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: day trial, right before this came out, so there's such 641 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: a high demand to watch it now that they kind 642 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: of probably saw a boost in people subscribing to Disney Plus, 643 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: which I subscribe back when it launched, so I was 644 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: good on that. I already had it ready to go. 645 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: I actually really enjoyed Disney Plus. They kind of got 646 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: me early on with the Mandalorian series and then having 647 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: all the Simpsons episodes, and then they've kind of sprinkled 648 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: in some original movies in there here and there. But 649 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: I feel like this is the first really big release 650 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: that has brought people over specifically to Disney Plus for 651 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: something that everybody wanted to watch, and it's the only 652 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: place you can get it. So the movie, and I 653 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: say movie because it was supposed to come out in theaters, 654 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: it is a live recording of the actual play with 655 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: the all the original cast. It's about Alexander Hamilton's which 656 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: who was the first Treasury Secretary and the founding father 657 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: played by Lynn Manuel Miranda, who did all the music 658 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: for this, And let me just say, like that is amazing. 659 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: I know I talked about Muana earlier. He did all 660 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: that music and where he probably made all of his 661 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: money and is sitting pretty well right now is because 662 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: of Hamilton's So the movie is all about Alexander Hamilton's 663 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: life when he arrived in New York City back in 664 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: seventeen seventies six, and him working with George Washington through 665 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: the American Revolution and then all the post war work 666 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: he did. And while watching this, first of all, I 667 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 1: went into it thinking and knowing that it was a 668 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: long movie, like it's over two and a half hours, 669 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: I think, right around that mark. And this is also 670 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: edited down a bit from the original Broadway play. But 671 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: like I said, I was like, did I should I 672 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: review this as a movie, And after I watched it, 673 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: I felt like, yes, it's a movie, like it essentially 674 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: translates over into a movie, but unlike a movie, it 675 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: never you know, leaves the set because it's a play. 676 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: But I feel like it was shot in such a 677 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: way that it feels like it kind of moves through 678 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: and you kind of get a feeling like this is 679 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: a whole movie. You follow the story pretty well along 680 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: with the songs, and it is a musical, and it's 681 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: a straight on musical to the point where they never 682 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: stop singing. So if you're not familiar with that and 683 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: you go into it ever expecting them to stop singing, 684 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: they don't, which is an amazing thing to really see. 685 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,719 Speaker 1: Like I'm really surprised and kind of perplexed by it, 686 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: and I kind of see the hype in this movie 687 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: and this play. I keep calling it a movie. I'm 688 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: just gonna call it a movie because I feel like 689 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: now it feels like a movie, and I actually really 690 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: enjoyed it, and I kind of went into it thinking 691 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: like at some point I'm gonna get bored, But I 692 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: would say the first forty minutes really flu by because 693 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: you're kind of getting into it. It takes a little 694 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: getting used to the whole format of it, of it 695 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: just goes from one song to the next, and sometimes 696 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: it's kind hard to kind of follow along with all 697 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: the lyrics and you're kind of wondering where it is 698 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: in place. But I felt once you kind of get 699 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: in that mindset of knowing what you're watching. It's a 700 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: really great movie to sit down and watch all the 701 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: way through, which I recommend doing. I sat down and 702 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: dedicated the entire time to watch it all the way through, 703 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: because like a play, you kind of get that feeling 704 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: a little bit better of it all as one work. 705 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: That's how it's kind of intended to be watched. What 706 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: if you go watch a movie in theaters, you're gonna 707 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: watch it anyway. So I know sometimes watching stuff at home, 708 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: you want to hit pause and come back to it later. 709 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: But I highly encourage just dedicating the time to sit 710 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: down and watch this entire thing the kind of the 711 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: way it was intended to be watched, because I think 712 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: you'll get more out of it, because once you're into it, 713 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: you're into it. And I wasn't expecting to like some 714 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: of the songs from this because I'm not. I just 715 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: never really bothered to kind of get into Hamilton's I 716 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: never really listened to the soundtrack that people loved. I 717 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: felt like you kind of needed to see it to be, 718 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, entertained by it. And I'm not a post 719 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: of going to plays or seeing plays. I just haven't 720 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: really It's never really been my thing. And the thing 721 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: about plays is they're very memorable, and sometimes, unlike a movie, 722 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: you never forget a play you go see. I watched 723 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: a lot of movies. Some movies I forget some things 724 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: that happen, you know, very small scenes in the movie. 725 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: I'll forget it, you know, ten years later. But I 726 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: still remember plays that I saw as a kid because 727 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: they're just so visual and so vivid and you see 728 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: them happening right in front of you that I can 729 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: only imagine that people who got to see this in 730 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: person and kind of what sparked us to be such 731 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: a big phenomenon as it is so much so that, 732 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: you know, demanded a theatrical release so more people could 733 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: see it. And I think it's something everybody should see 734 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: it sometime in their life. You'll learn a lot in 735 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: this movie. You learn a lot through the songs, and 736 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: it's done in an entertaining way. I think somehow my 737 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: favorite songs were from King George, Like, for some reason, 738 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: he was just so kind of like the comic relief 739 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: in the play that I felt it needed at times, 740 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: and he kind of comes back and sings like the 741 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: same song every time, but it just ended up being 742 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: my favorite. Kind of the thing people I'm wondering about 743 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: is that will this movie be eligible for Oscars because 744 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: they did kind of change the terminology and the restrictions 745 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: of streaming movies to be eligible because the coronavirus and 746 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: everything going on, that some movies won't have their theatrical release, 747 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: but unfortunately Hamilton's will not be eligible. Now Disney is 748 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: saying they still may submit it for some awards, but 749 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: it's looking right now that it won't be eligible to 750 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: win any Oscars. And I think it's kind of two 751 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: things that has going against it. Is the fact that 752 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: it is the recording of a live performance, not really 753 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: a movie, and falls under those qualifications. Also that now 754 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: that it's on kind of Disney Plus and being shown 755 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: as like, oh, this is Hamilton's, it's kind of a 756 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: promotional thing for the Broadway play. Therefore also ineligible to 757 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: be considered in the running for an OSCAR. So it'll 758 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if any of that stuff changes 759 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 1: with the success of it. But right now it's looking 760 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: like it won't be up for any Oscars. But even 761 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: though it won't be, I still think it's a really 762 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: great movie. I give it four out of five Declarations 763 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: of Independence, and that's mainly because I still feel like 764 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: it's like Experiencing it live is probably that five out 765 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 1: of five rating. But the recording of it is really great, 766 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: and like I said, it still feels like a movie 767 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: even though you're just watching a live recording of a play. 768 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: And who's to say, somebody five years, ten years down 769 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: the line doesn't end up trying to do a movie 770 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: like this. You know, all one camera, all one shot. 771 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: What's the difference. You still have a storyline, you still 772 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: have all the elements of a movie, just presented in 773 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: a slightly different way. So anyway, if you want to 774 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: check that out, you have to get Disney Plus, or 775 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: if you're nice, maybe I'll give you my account info. 776 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: All right, that's the episode for this week.
