- Hello Everyone! This is my Pop Century Final and I decided to do it on one of my favorite companies- Disney! This is a close up of the history of Disney, the making and of course an analysis and and interpertation of the music! I hope you enjoy it!
- So, first we are going to take a look before sound and music was even in a movie in what is called the “Silent Era.” In 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy Disney formed the offiial start of the Disney Company than known as The Disney Brothers Studio. They first released the Alice Comedies which was a silent series that consisted of a live action girl named Alice who travels through adventurous landscapes. Than in 1927, Disney started a new cartoon called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. However, Disney soon lost the rights for this new character which forced him to create a new character and a new show.
- In 1928 Disney released the cartoon Steamboat Willie which was the official first apperance of Mickey and Minnie Mouse- Mickey Mouse’s name was orginally Mortimer the Mouse but Disney’s Wife didn’t think that name was suitable for a mouse. Steamboat Willie proved to be an initial hit! It was the first cartoon to actually have sound, although it did not actually have words it consisted of background music which added both comical relief and suspense. The video clip I am about to show is the introduction of Steamboat Willie and you can hear the different sounds that they were able to create and how truly innovative it was for the time period!
- The Silly symphonies series was created in 1929. The action was tied to sound effects unlike anyone had experience before. The music provided plot, suspense, humor, and enhanced visual effects. Walt Disney realized in producing this work that the animation team must collobrate with the musicians, the music must be made to fit the actions. This clip is from the Silly Symphonies and is labeled the “Skelton Dance”
- In 1937, Disney developed its first feature length animated film. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was orginally based upon a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, but Disney was able to turn it into a motion picture. Before production, the musical score was vital to impact the film. Disney wanted the music to be as “bizzare as the characters.” With yodeling and different sound effects- it took 3 years for the film to be completed. I will now play a clip of my favorite and one of the most popular songs from this film is “Heigh Ho.”
- Disney greatly impacted the movie industry by producing a number of movies from the 1940’s thru the 1960’s. The most well-known being Fantasia which consisted only of music while depicting Mickey Mouse as its main character. The film was broken into 7 main parts with arrangements from Tchaikovsky, Stravinski & Beethovan and others famous composers. To fully develop this film, Disney created a sound system using stereophonic sound which was a breakthrough for its time. However, only a few theatres were able to play its original version because of the cost. This clip is a sample of Dance of the Reed Flutes- you may recognize it from the ballet The Nutcracker.
- Dumbo and Bambi were different than the previous films, Fantasia and Snow White-.they possessed tranquility and a more lyrical approach with a natural setting. They were low budget films due to the lack of commercial success of Fantasia and with World War II on the horizon. The most popular song from both of these movies are Baby Mine in Dumbo and Love is a Song in Bambi
- During World War II productions had to be less expensive and Disney focused on short cartoons featuring Donald, Pluto and Goofy. Some of these cartoons were advertised to support the war effort such as “Victory Vechicles which started Goofy. Above are a few depictions of the paper cartoons that were advertised. One includes Mickey Mouse advertising Americans to buy Bonds for the war effort.
- After the war, Disney focused on more lighthearted movies. To inspire and create a little comedy, Disney released Cinderella in 1950. 1This was the first true animation feature since 1942. Cinderella remained faithful to the spirit of the original fairytale which included a fairy godmother & of course a Happy Ever After. It included hit songs such as Bibhidi-Bobbidi Bo and So This is Love. Lady and the Tramp was the first Disney film that was set in middle American suburbs. It broke new grounds in setting a more formal tone of his films. Other popular releases in this decade include Peter Pan and Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins was a different approach towards the ordinary Disney asethtics, it was more of a broadway-inspired musical film.
- Most of you know all of these movies on this list. They often stared the vocals of many well-known actors and actresses such as Mel Gibson in Pocahontas. Many well-known song writers have also collobrateted with Disney, such as Elton John with the Circle of Life and Phil Collins with You’ll Be in My Heart. These movies focused on different cultures and traditions all of the world. The Lion King set in Africa introduced new landscapes, Beauty and the Beast and the Hunchback of Notre Dame incorporated the French language and of course Aladdin introduced a whole new culture of India and the Middle East to many children. Many of these movies have now translated into Broadway plays. Now I am going to play a clip from the beginning of the Lion King’s Circle of Life
- The Mickey Mouse Club was a variety tv show for children with musical talent. It Originally Started in the 1930’s during the height of the Great Depression as a theatre show. It than appeared again in 1955 thru 1959 and again in 1989 thru 1996. It aired on ABC from 5:30- 6:00 pm on the weekday and consisted of many different segements depending on the day of the week. It gave the opportunity for children and teenagers to launch their careers and pursue their dreams. Some of the popular Mouseketeers include: Annette Funicello from 1955 thru 1959 and than Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake from the more recent Mickey Mouse Club in the 90’s The first clip I am going to show you is from the Mickey Mouse Club in the 50’s which is famous for its “Role Call” This clip features features Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Ryan Gosling singing Cry For You from the Mickey Mouse club from the 90’s
- Disney Channel orginally began in 1983 to integrate animation and televison. However, Radio Disney didn’t start until 1996- it was aimed at a preteen and teenagers audience. It features hit artists that are preformed by kids and for kids. From 2001 thru 2007 is when Disney Channel really came into popularity. Stars that performed on both Radio Disney & the Disney Channel include Raven-Symone, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and countless others. Both platforms were crossover points for new young stars. Many started as actors and actresses and soon transitioned over into singers/songwriters. These outlets created a “Disney Family” for many young talented children
- The Princess and the Frog was released in 2009 and told the story of a New Orleans native who had her own goals and ambitions. Tangled was released in 2010 which was a fairytale based upon Rapunzel. It proved to be a commercial success and nominated for a number of awards including Academy Awards. Brave was released in 2012 which was set in the Scottish Highlands and featured a princesses who goes against her family by opting not to have an arranged marriage. All three of these princesses were strong-willed and independent. They accurately expressed the image of a modern women despite their actual time period. They are wiling to take their own life into their hands by following their own inutition and taking risks. The idea behind these three films really reflects upon our current culture.
- After the disappointing sales of the premire of The Princess and the Frog, a new animated musical was adapted Frozen was released in 2013. It became the 1st Academy Award winner for best animated feature for Walt Disney Animation studios. Its popular song “Let it Go” became the 5th best selling song of 2013. As many of you are aware, this film was an international success. Many children dressed up as either Elsa or Ona for Halloween and Frozen merchandise was flying off the shelves. This clip is Idina Menzel performing Let it Go as Elsa
- One of the most popular and well-known composers of the Disney films is The Sherman Brothers. The wrote many musical song scores including Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book and the Aristocats. They came on board with the Walt Disney company in 1958 after writing a popular song for the Mickey Mouse Club. They also wrote the song “It’s a Small World After All” which has since become an iconic tune for the Disney company. Another prominent composer for Walt Disney has been Alan Menken. He has created scores for many Disney hits for the past 2 decades such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Pochaontas. People don’t realize how truly important these professionals are for Disney and for the films. They help create the words and the rthym from their own inspirations and lives.
- Future Disney films are actually remakes of the original animation films. For Example the 1951 Alice in Wonderland was remade into the 2010 film by the same title. The 1967 animated film the Jungle Book is to be remade in 2016. Cinderella which originally premired in 1950 was remade this past year in 2015. And Beauty and the Beast originally from 1991 will be remade in 2017. These films were all once animated features but now have transitioned into a real cast and live singing.
- Disneyland opened for the general public in 1955- it was the perfect location for both children and parents. The pictures above are actually of me and my older sister when I was a child. Disney has become a part of American Culture. Its start was new and innovative. With new technology and a creative mindset, Walt Disney was able to create a successful string of films and music. His films have created inspiration for many young children. Each film has a different motivation and hidden influence. For me, Mulan encouraged me to be true to myself no matter what, The Lion King taught me to not run from the past but instead learn from it and Pocachontas showed me how to always follow my heart.
- Thank you so much for watching and listening to me!
