I’ve told you in my previous blog, that I love Enchanted so much.

Enchanted, one of Walt Disney’s movie which combines animation and real human. One of the precious scenes in Enchanted is the scene when Giselle and Robert are dancing at the ball. They want to be close together, but at the same time, they have to be far, because Giselle has to go back to Andalasia with Edward. It’s very touching, so melancholic, and I love the song.

The song So Close, is sung by Jon McLaughlin. When I heard it for the first time, I was touched by its atmosphere, and also by the farewell between Robert and Giselle. In addition, Jon McLaughlin also has a great voice, which adds the melancholic feelings to the song.

Here I enclose the lyrics of So Close, when Giselle and Robert are waltz-dancing. Enjoy…

SO CLOSE
Jon McLaughlin
(ost. Enchanted)

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music is playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alone

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

* dance

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Like I’ve said in my previous post, I love this song. The song is sung by Rob Thomas (from Matchbox Twenty). This song, well at least for me, is so touching. Every time I hear this song, I feel like wants to cry, but not because I am sad. This song is teaching us that problems will go someday. Well, all we can do is keep moving forward!

Well, folks, I proudly present (in Walt Disney production, of course :D)

Little Wonders
ost. Meet the Robinsons

by: Rob Thomas

Let it go
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don’t you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in
Let your clarity define you
In the end
You will only just remember how it feels
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain
Let it slide
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine,
Till you feel it all around you
And I don’t mind
If it’s me you need to turn to
We’ll get by
It’s the heart that really matters in the end
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain
All of my regret
Will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget
the way I feel right now
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Yeah, these twisted turns of fate
Time falls away
Yeah, but these small hours,
These small hours
Still remain
Yeah, oh they still remain
These little wonders
All these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders
Still remain

Who doesn’t know Winnie The Pooh? Walt Disney has made this character and its friends to a cartoon. The characters are based on A. A. Milne (1926) works, which was made for his son (it is portrayed into character Christopher Robin).

From all characters which are in Winnie the Pooh, I like Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore. First, Winnie the Pooh. I like him because I learn that I have to be proud of myself. Do you remember The Exercise Song which is sung by Pooh? The lyrics said, “I am short, fat, proud of that…” Well, I am fat, and my boyfriend says that I am short (because he is tall!! Unfair!!! :p) But Winnie the Pooh made me realize that even I am fat and short, but I can be cute like him… (I wish… hahaha…)

The next character I like is Eeyore. Perhaps he is the saddest character I’ve ever known. But it makes me feel pity for him, because he is never be noticed by everybody, even sometimes his friends forget his birthday… Well, I have experienced being forgotten by my friends, so I know how he feels… I am looking forward when Walt Disney will make The Eeyore Movie… (the wallpaper is by Darin)

Here below I enclosed the lyrics of Exercise Song by Winnie the Pooh. (It is often called as Up, Down, Touch the Ground!).

When I’m up, down and touch the ground
It puts me in the mood,
Up, down and touch the ground
In the mood for food (smack, smack)
I am stout, round and I have found
Speaking poundage wise
I improve my appetite
When I exercise

 

I am short, fat and proud of that
And so, with all my might
I up, down and up, down to
My appetite’s delight
While I’m up, down and touch the ground
I think of things to chew, like honey
With a hefty happy appetite
I’m a hefty happy Pooh
With a hefty happy appetite
He’s a hefty happy Pooh

Enjoy!

When Walt Disney Production re-released Cinderella in 2007, they published in a form of Two-Disc Special Edition DVD. In its extra, they enclose this brand new song. Well, it is still the song from Cinderella for sure, but it has been rearranged. Walt Disney add new verse of A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes and put the Disney Channel Stars to sing it. We can see Raven Simon, Orlando Bloom (from That’s So Raven), Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Brenda Song (from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody), and other stars sing it. It’s quite different from its original song, but I think it’s cool… I’ve also enclosed the lyrics here… Enjoy…

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Here’s the video…

Here I write the lyrics of A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes, which is sung by Ilene Woods and the Mice chorus in one of Disney princess movie, Cinderella. Walt Disney worked together with Mark David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston in writing this song. This song teaches us to never give up to get what we’ve been dreaming of. Sometimes when I’m feeling down, or I feel that I could not get out from my problems, I just sing this song and pray, then I can move on. Hopefully you also can be like me and Cinderella. Enjoy the song! (Don’t forget, say NO to piracy! Get the song legal here)

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dream you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

… the dream that I wish will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Following its success, Walt Disney Production decided to produce a television show called The Mickey Mouse Club in 1955. It was aired by the American Broadcasting Company. It was created by Walt Disney himself, revised and reformatted several times along in its series aired on ABC 1955-1959.

In 1950, the series were used to promote the Disneyland theme park. At first, it’s titled as Disneyland, but after Bill Walsh to take the control to develop the format, it became The Mickey Mouse Club. It became a variety show for children, with news, cartoon, music, and comedy. Mickey Mouse Club was hosted by Jimmie Dodd.

The show has a theme song, called The Mickey Mouse March, written by Jimmie Dodd and was reprised with the slower “it’s time to say goodbye” verse at the end of each episode. Later, Disney used the shorter version as the beginning of the show.
