My Top 6 Disney Reprises

Yeah, those little bits of song they add later on in the movie that originate from the original, more popular song. There are many of these that I just LOVE! But first, an honorable mention:

Mulan: Be a Man


This isn't technically a reprise, but it had to be listed at least as an honorable mention. If not anything else but for this exact scene. Now for the real list:

6. Pocahontas: Savages


This was the most dramatic point in the whole movie. And as Nostalgia Chick mentioned, they just bunched everything in it to make it seem more dramatic than it really is. It would have been higher on this list, but it just pales in comparison to the rest.

5. Alladin: Prince Ali



I liked this one a lot growing up, but mainly for the scene than the actual song. But aside from that, it is very well done, saying that Jafar took his song and made it cocky and arrogant.

4. Beauty and the Beast: Belle


This scene is actually not nostalgic for me, saying I didn't watch the movie until 2010. This was just one of those Disney movies we somehow bypassed. But I do love this reprise. The annoyance in her voice, the desire to be free and explore. She wants much more than this provincial life.

3. Aladdin: One Step Ahead


If only they looked closer. They'd see a pretty handsome, funny, sly young man. But nope, street rat! I like this song because it shows the life of Aladdin as a poor, starving protagonist and just as some Mary Sue thief. And yes, this is yet another listing for Aladdin. Personally was not my favorite Disney movie, but did have a few really good songs in it.

2. Tangled - Mother Knows Best


I reenacted this song for WEEKS after seeing it. The pure evil in this song as she is certain that her daughter will see it her way. Mother knows best, not Rapunzel. This should bring nostalgic feelings for anyone who questions their parents. Because we kids are just ignorant of what is actually happening in the world. Also, this movie is a lot better than the Barbie rendition, although I must admit that I believe this movie stole the whole painting idea from the Barbie version.

1. Frozen: For the First Time in Forever



This song is BEAUTIFUL! The emotion, the stress, the portrayal of information, all wonderfully done. Especially at the end, where the emotion just builds and builds until it literally explodes out, causing the final plot point for the movie. I love this song, and keep replaying it every now and then. The emotions are great!
