10 Best Animated Film Musical Numbers
3. Be Our Guest Beauty and the Beast (Disney) http://youtu.be/afzmwAKUppU Disneys animated musicals are famous for their grandeur, for their epic scale, and Be Our Guest is arguably a staple of this hallmark.Complete with, at the time, cutting edge animation, some truly wonderful characters and such a sense of over-the-top pageantry that its impossible not to be swept up in its wake. Theres something infinitely tragic about a calling without an answer; a performer without an audience, a teacher without students and indeed a servant with no one to serve. Be Our Guest, when you really look at it, is an enamoured plea to Belle from a group whove essentially been prematurely retired by their selfish master please be our guest, we need this. The way Disney compose their musical numbers really is incredible albeit subtle. Here we have a joyous fanfare, a number so vibrant and full of life that youd be forgiven for missing the notes of desperation, of urgency and ultimately of the collective feeling that Belle is very much their last chance saloon.
