10 Best Animated Film Musical Numbers

2. La Resistance (Medley) €“ South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut (Comedy Central Films) http://youtu.be/8BHBTRtsGio As with Satan€™s rip-roarin€™ number Up There, discussed earlier, the textual content of the La Resistance Medley is undeniably silly whichever way you look at it. But again, we can€™t help but have empathised with these characters who are about to kill and die for their beliefs. Even though we may perceive those beliefs as inane or effectively pointless these characters most certainly do not. So, as empathic beings, we€™re all but forced here to feel their courage, their fear and their longing. The La Resistance medley is the point that you realise €œhold on, this is a real musical€. You went in expecting trademark South Park fart humour and that you got in spades, but what you weren€™t banking on was the fact that this movie was actually going to resonate with all the subtextual drama as something like Les Miserables. So good is South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut in fact, that legendary musical contributor Stephen Sondheim wrote to Matt and Trey after it€™s released congratulating them on producing the best musical he€™d seen in the last fifteen years.
