    Okay, so I'm getting a lot of comments asking about these two things, so I'd figure I'll just say it here. One. Yes. That is Renee Elise Goldsberry at 6:49. Satisfied? And Two. Susan Egan's performance of I Won't Say I'm in Love is from the premiere of the film. Link Here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/foKGsadmeJDTY5M.html

    Not only that its kind of genius Women played a major role in Greek Myth and Religion as Holy Women, the Muses themselves are representations of the Arts, While Gospel music seems odd in this context, Greece was actually a Hot bed for Early Christianity along with Anatolia, Anatolia had a very huge impact on the development of Christianity to the point most of Modern Christianity trace their origin to Nicean Christianity a denomination in Anatolia, Greece later developed then spread Orthadox Christianity, most notably into Eastern Europe, as the Byzantine Empire, the Eastern Romans.

    I love how much the animators put the voice actor into the animations. Meg and her swinging hips, Herc and his innocent nervous energy, Danny Devito’s Danny Devito. It’s almost like motion capture in a way. Like, I look at Elsa, and I see none of Indina Menzel. I’m not talking about because of hair color, but facial expressions and body language. That’s part of acting. And it affects how your voice sounds.

    Well Elsa as well as most of the characters in frozen are pretty one dimensional as far as personality goes. I mean the king and queen were pretty awful to lock away and isolate Elsa, and she remains pretty emotionally unscathed, albeit a bit reserved. But they really didn't get the torment of someone locked away and isolated for 15ish years. For what she was put through she was relatively okay. But I'm just saying they could've gone way deeper with the story and their personalities.

    Okay, am I the only one who LOVES Adult Herc's voice? Tate Donavan NAILED it. Whenever I watch that movie, I'm ALWAYS surprised that Hercules sounds SO CALM unless he's mad or in battle. Heck, Tate Donovan even NAILED it as the voice of Hercules in the HILARIOUS animated show, and also the video games. I REALLY wish adult Hercules did a musical number, or that the love song in the film, "I Won't Say I'm In Love" was done the same way the love songs in "Lion King 1 and 2" were done. On top of all that, I LOVE how they had Danny Devito voicing Phil. Not only did he NAIL it as Phil, but Danny's HILARIOUS, as was his character, even though Phil starts off in the movie as kind of a jerk. There's one thing I'm wondering, though: Who did the voices of Pegasus and the Titans? That's never been revealed.

    I not only miss these 2d animations, I miss when Disney didn’t treat their audience like stupid kids. Kids back then didn’t need bright colors, exaggerated facial expressions and corny storylines… movies back then arguably had “adult” themes like romance, life and death, responsibilities piling up as you grew older etc. those are themes kids should see,

    I think the last Disney movie I saw was Moana, but I still thought it was fabulous. Tangled is about abuse, gaslighting (real gaslighting, not what the internet says it is), and realizing that you can't judge people based on their appearance. Princess and the Frog delicately addresses the racism and sexism of the 1920s, and is about how even though hard work is important, you shouldn't sacrifice the people you love for working your whole life away. Pretty relevant to some adults!

    Yeah, but the plot and the type of animation are not related. Wall-E is a 3d animated movie and it's great, among many others. When people starting getting older they start getting too attached to the past. New don't necessarily means bad.

She's funny (her sarcasm is the best😂), she's smart, she's so strong. Unlike most of disney princesses, she has a personality. I hope they don't spoil her charcter in the live action by picking an actress without enough carisma to perform her.
