Disney Challenge Day 42: Favorite Disney Broadway

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Two: Favorite Disney Broadway

I've actually never seen a Disney broadway show before! Which really makes me sad. But I have to say I'd probably like The Lion King on Broadway...just from the fact that it's my favorite movie, I adore the music, and I really like the costumes and outfits they use for the show (which is similar to the parade costumes they've used). I really hope to see this show on Broadway sometime in my life! I feel like it'd be an amazing experience.

Disney Challenge Day 27: Saddest Death

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Twenty-Seven: Saddest Death

I'm sure all of you saw this coming...Mufasa's death in The Lion King is by far the saddest moment I've ever seen in any Disney film. It was probably one of the first scenes in an animated movie to make me tear up when I was little (the one that first made me cry was Pokemon..but that's another story).

Mufasa's death was just so tragic, and the fact that Simba believed it was his fault (thanks to Scar) makes it even more devastating. Imagine being a young child, watching your father die, and then being convinced that it was all your fault? I would've run away too. That's a lot to handle.

Another really sad death that I distinctly remember being sad about when I was little was when Bambi's mom was killed....gah. Why, Disney? Why do you do this to us?

In other news, I finished my two hardest finals today!!! Only one more final on Thursday and I'm done with community college!!! Only four weeks until the DCP!!

Disney Challenge Day 26: Favorite Movie Scene

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Twenty-Six: Favorite Scene from Favorite Movie

I don't know what it is about this scene, but I just love it. It's so beautiful, and the music is so pretty and wonderful. It might because I think Nala is awesome and both she and Simba work so well together. Maybe it's because they're childhood friends being reunited and falling in love. Either way, it's definitely my favorite scene from my all time favorite Disney movie!

Disney Challenge Day 17: Favorite Classic

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Seventeen: Your Favorite Classic

I searched for a list of Disney movies that count as "classics" and to my surprised, The Lion King was on there! (Gosh I feel old now....) This movie is my favorite Disney movie of all time, so it's only fitting to have it as my favorite classic as well. If I only had to choose from the really early Disney movies, Bambi might be my favorite true classic, but I've never really thought about it!

Disney Challenge Day 13: Favorite Villain Song

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirteen: Your Favorite Villain Song

I've used this song before for a Disney Tune Tuesday, but it's definitely my favorite Disney villain song so I'm going to share it again!

I love Scar, he's my favorite Disney villain (as I've stated in a previous challenge day post). I love the beat to this song, and just the pure evil you can feel and sense just from the tune without any lyrics. The hyena comments are hilarious, and just make it that much better!

What's your favorite Disney villain song?

Disney Challenge Day 8: Favorite Villain

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Eight: Your Favorite Villain

Scar is that sassy, sarcastic uncle everyone wants....until he kills your father/his own brother for his personal gain for the crown. I personally love Scar's sarcastic humor. As villains go, you have to be really messed up and evil if you're willing to kill your own brother, blame it on your nephew and live without any guilt. His song is also my favorite villain song.

Who's your favorite Disney villain?

Incredible Lion King Tribute

Nick Pitera's done it again.

This week (today, actually) celebrates "The Lion King's" 15th year on Broadway! In tribute to the show's anniversary, Youtube sensation Nick Pitera decided to make a one man singing tribute! As usual, it gave me chills. Definitely a must see!

One Man Tribute to Disney's Lion King on Broadway

by Nick Pitera

It's one of my personal goals to see "The Lion King" on Broadway. It's my favorite Disney movie, and has such amazing music!

Also, if you haven't seen Nick's One Man Disney Movie...watch it right now! It's absolutely incredible!

SIDE NOTE: I just recently began creating a new page list filled with other Disney College Program blogs. If you have a DCP blog, let me know your URL, role, and term and I'll add you to the list!

Have a fabulous day!

The Circle of Dance!

One of my favorite TV shows is So You Think You Can Dance. Everyone on the show is so talented it's crazy! Just a couple days ago, the season nine finale aired, and they had the top ten dancers with the all-star performers dance an amazing song to a remixed "Circle of Life" from The Lion King!! It was so neat, I had to share it with you!

One item on my bucket list is to see The Lion King on Broadway. It just looks like an incredible performance and show! The soundtrack to the movie is also one of my absolute favorites.

Disney Tune Tuesday 11: Be Prepared!

As I've stated before, The Lion King is my all time favorite Disney movie. What you probably didn't know is that my favorite Disney villain is Scar, and favorite Disney villain song is "Be Prepared." I find the hyenas hilarious in this song!

Hyena: "Yeah we'll be prepared! ...For what?"

Scar: "For the death of the king!"

Hyena: "Why, is he sick?"

Hahaha never fails to make me chuckle.  Enjoy!

Be Prepared

In other news...I recently was informed that the Disney College Program Spring 2012 application opens THIS THURSDAY!!! I'm so excited!!!

I'll keep everyone posted as events unfold! I'm also debating on doing video blogs about my application and my experience if I get accepted. 

My question for you is, would you rather have a written experience (on here) or a video blog (which I will also post on here)?

Disney Tune Tuesday 10: Favorite Disney Romance

Happy Tuesday!!!

Tuesdays are actually my long days in class...so I'm quite exhausted. Either way I made sure to share with you this week's Disney tune!

I've been asked before, "What's your favorite Disney romance scene?" Well my friends, I present to you, my favorite romance scene from a Disney movie.

"Can You Feel The Love Tonight"

From: The Lion King

The Lion King Rises

This is probably one of the best, if not THE best dubbed fake Disney movie preview I've ever seen on Youtube. It was so epic and awesome, I had to share it with you.

For a quick description, this video contains clips from The Lion King, but the sound is from the Dark Knight Rises official movie trailer. You can see the original preview here.

My friends, I give you, The Lion King Rises:

If you haven't seen the new Batman movie, I beg you to go see it. I absolutely adored The Dark Knight because Heath Ledger was amazing. I thought Rises couldn't possibly live up to how amazing the second movie was, but I was proved wrong. Rises is just as epic and amazing in it's own way.
