In sad news, actress Pat Carroll has passed away at the age of 95. Ms. Carroll (1927-2022) appeared in multiple films and television series over the years, but she’ll be best remembered as the voice of the villainess, Ursula, in Disney’s The Little Mermaid and related properties.
Other animated projects wherein she lent her voice include The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (as Ursula’s sister, Morgana), Pound Puppies, A Garfield Christmas, and Garfield’s Thanksgiving.
She shall be missed!
The actor, Samuel E. Wright, has sadly passed away at the age of 74. Mr. Wright (1946-2021) was most famous for his voice role as Sebastian the Crab in Disney’s The Little Mermaid franchise. He also voiced Kron in Disney’s Dinosaur.
Our condolences go out to his family and friends. He shall be missed!
Yeah, I’m going obscure again! Let’s talk about this film before we get to the character of choice! Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #28: The Princess of Glowerhaven”
Well, due to the popularity of my last “Top 13” list, I decided to make another one! And today’s post takes a dive into an aspect of Disney’s animated films that is loved by everyone: its songs!
The vast majority of the Disney Canon films are musicals, or at least feature a song or two. And the magic of Disney along with the magic of many of Disney’s songwriters including the Sherman Brothers,
Alan Menken and Howard Ashman,
and many others whose names are relatively unknown to the majority of the world, make these songs enjoyable, cherished, and memorable to us all!
So the question is, “Which of the songs are my favorites?”. To find that out, I went through all the songs of the Disney Canon films and picked out the ones that I really loved…all 40 of them!
Yeah, then came the nigh impossible challenge of shortening that “shortlist” to 13! (This was soooo much harder than figuring out my top 13 favorite animated Disney canon films)! So if you don’t see your favorite Disney song on here, don’t be mad! It most likely was in my shortlist to begin with and didn’t make my top 13!
Oh, why top 13? Because I’m not superstitious!
Note: I personally believe that one’s favorites can change over time, so this is my list as of February 2013. With that said, I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! Continue reading “My Top 13 Favorite Animated Disney (Canon) Songs!”
