Music from Disney's cartoons

How do you like the popular music of Alan Menken, and Stephen Schwartz?

I'm not sure if they wrote the music from Pochahontas, but I've always been guilty of loving the French version of the "Colours of the Wind". That's just a nice song with I presume a decent, although disney-esque, message.

Some other good disney music: can't really think of any off hand, but overall their music is melodic and well written... those two factors usually combine for memorable music, which of course is a complete contradiction to how I started off this sentence :P ;) :P

I haven't heard very many of Disney's songs, but I just love the song, "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas. I have a CD of this Latin band that plays a nice rendition of the tune, and I like the words also.

I love Alan Meken's work on The Hunchback of Notre Dame... in fact, I just bought it and I've been listening to it for a week straight. Works such as "Sanctuary!" and "Out There" and "Hellfire" and even the "Bells of Notre Dame" are amazing pieces that, honestly I wouldn't expect in a G-rated Disney movie. It's such dark, magical, great stuff.

Must agree. 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Beauty and the Beast' are the ones I like.

I didn't really like the movie itself, but the music AMAZED me. Especialy "Hellfire" and

"Bells of notre Dame".

Also i LOVED 2 tracks from "Prince of Egypt" - "Deliver us" and "The Plagues", even though the movie itself was a piece of ****.

The Prince of Egypt was Menken? In that case, it doesn't surprise me... I loved the music in that movie!

The Prince of Egypt was Menken?

actually it was Hans Zimmer, he did the good ones, while some more popular artists with help of Stephen Shwartz wrote the crappy ones (like When You Believe and Through Heaven's Eyes.... hated tose....)

Oh wow... I never thought that Zimmer did anything like that.
