Villains have the best songs...

Also, for some godawful reason, this song keeps popping back into my head every now and again after worming its way in twenty-some years ago.

From a technical standpoint, I dig the Bell of Notre Dame as well. It's big and powerful and pulls a great dramatic narrative and sets up the story so well the rest of the movie is just knocking it down while also inspiring the sense of terror and awe as its namesake.

But it is perhaps a little impersonal.

This, to quote Ney'tiri, is very sad only. It tells the story of a broken family just about to be killed all the way dead, as simple and direct as a glass shard shiv in the heart. It makes me wish I had a sister who I could be afraid of losing and hold tight and have a good cry with.

Of all the songs in the disney movies I find is Everybody Wants To Be A Cat to be my favorite

Of all the songs (including the deleted songs) I would have to say Snuff Out the Light is a fantastic song.

For some reason, I have a hankering for campy Disney songs...

A song about child abuse/slavery in a light-hearted song in an unusually catchy and upbeat rhythm. (Sorry for bad video quality on this one)

... And a song (the first part at least) about gutting one of the main protagonists and using their body parts as ingredients for profit in a snake-oil scheme. Also in an upbeat tone.

Disney was hilariously light-hearted about some surprisingly dark topics!

(Both are from the movie "Pete's Dragon")

There's only one song my friends and I sing every word of by memory as a duet whenever we're chillin'.

OH SHIT NEARLY FORGOT
The best Disney songs ever, yo

Obviously Hellfire is the best Disney song.

I like Poor Unfortunate Souls too, but Mauve beat me to it.

Edit: Okay, OT, but this reminds me of an idea I was kicking around that if Leonard Cohen could sing a little better he would be a fantastic villain in an animated movie.

"Hellfire" is such a fascinating critique of organized religion's coercive effects and also thousands of years of men 'suffering' because of their assumptions stemming from their privilege and patriarchal systems designed to disempower women that it's just utterly fascinating to me that Disney of all companies allowed it to exist

Yes this totally counts as Disney.

If not, then I also gots this:

Dammit, the sound quality's weird.
