I haven't seen this movie yet, but I did notice that Alan Menken (Disney's greatest musical talent IMHO) composed the score and was wondering what people thought of it. I'm a huge fan of Alan Menken's work for Disney in the late 80's and 90's (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hunchback of Notre Dame, etc...) and have been hoping that he would do some more work with Disney.
shareYes, the songs are great. Unfortunately, the rest isn't, IMHO.
shareI am at a loss to understand why the haunting "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again" has not been used for Hurricane Katrina relief. A beautiful song with touching lyrics.
shareHey, you are right, misspaddylee! It is good for the hurricane katrina relief. I do like the song. It's very touching. I wondered who sang it... Alan Menken did lots and lots of GREAT Disney songs, like 'Under the Sea' (The Little Mermaid), and I liked it SO MUCH! The music was so great! I always judge a song from its music and lyrics.
shareoh geez... I watched the movie and immediatly after bought the soundtrack AND the piano chords for "Will the sun ever shine again". "Patch of Heaven is a hit in my family, my sis is singing it all the time, and the yodelling song is plain cool.
YAY for Alan Menken!!!
The songs are indeed the best part of this film.
Why ain't you at the garden party you heathen?
