I love how in prince of Egypt, Moses doesn’t have an “I want song” he has an “I wanted song.” I feel it plays into the early dreamworks trend of being the anti Disney and traditional musical theater structure.

[MediaDroid]

Schaff should talk about more musicals

[YINSED]

Once a theatre kid, always a theatre kid. Great job you two!

[the_doug_digital]

Oh my god the fact that the couple of “James and Jess” call themselves “Team Rocket” is fucking adorable

[artsyess]

I heard “Thunder Bring Her..” at the #2 intro and I got excited for an Epic mention until I realized it was obviously “Go The Distance” from Hercules. I’d love to see a video all about Epic one day!

[LavenderWhale]

Thanks for letting me collab on this one, it was so much fun! I want to keep talking about musicals with you :)

Number 1: “I nothing” -buford wearing a bear costume in the Phineas and Ferb wizard of oz special.

[maxmeidl]

0:15 Tomatoa’s SECOND biggest hit after almost eight years of Shiny being his number one hit

[halbarroyzanty]

Another thing i like about "just can't wait to be king" is how it mirror's scar's later villain song. Simba sings about how he wants to be king cause then he'll be the most important person and nobody will tell him no, and what does scar sing about? "I'll be king undisputed, respected, saluted and seen for the wonder i am".
zazu's "if this is where the monarchy is headed county out", is foreshadowing scar's disastrous reign as king, because he is essentially a version of simba who never grew up.

[Magic_Ice]

I know Hamilton is very overtalked about, but I love The Room Where it Happens. It establishes what Burr’s largest priority for the rest of the story and you really feel how desperate he is to get into that room and make the decisions.

[brix]

“My super hero movie” is proof that all art is valuable

[laurenrogers]

Had so much fun composing the music for James’ fantastic lyrics!!! Honored to be part of this video :)))

[thekiss]

I know it's cool to hate Hamilton now, but I think "My Shot" belonged on here. It's pulling triple duty by establishing the status quo of pre-Revolutionary America, bringing the band together of Hamilton and his allies, AND establishing his desire to make his mark on history and repel the British. One of the show's best songs too.

[lenlaegrim]

Absolutely unironically, one of my favorite I Want songs is Happy Ending from Twisted. Yes it's technically a parody, but that layering at the end will never not hit jfc

[erinyeager]

The use of 'Thunder Bringer' from EPIC: The Musical as the transition to 'Go the distance' from Hercules literally made me so happy! :)

[tristandaries]

Writing a musical soundtrack explaining what a genre of musical soundtrack is actually peak

[stardust]

I was so excited hearing “Thunder Bringer” as the intro for Go the Distance!
