10 Best Animated Film Musical Numbers
9. I Just Cant Wait to be King The Lion King (Disney) http://youtu.be/KXs8OS6EdAE Its got everything you want from an animated musical number: spectacle; fanfare; a likeable (and at this point in the picture downright adorable) protagonist; a budding romance in its early stages; singing animals and Rowan Atkinson. In its essence its a song about that innocent naiveté of youth, the moment of pride before the fall, but if you examine the subtext its deeper still than that. Wed all like to imagine that our problems will vanish when we attain that thing, whatever it is, that we think will complete us. We seldom stop to realise that what were looking for most likely resides inside us. With its joyful vocal performances combined with some truly addictive hooks, to listen to this number for even thirty seconds of it is to commit to humming it every thirty seconds for the rest of the day.
