Not sure what to say. The song "It's Too Heavenly Here," by Mann and Weill, from "All Dogs Go To Heaven 2," one of the lowest-grossing wide-release movies of all time. Who knew Charlie Sheen could sing?
And... I still will say, almost all the songs on this one are absolute bangers. "It's too heavenly here, all hallelujahs and hosannas/ it could drive anyone bananas" still makes me shudder to listen to it. Just... it soars in just the right places. For a melody with so many little leaps, it's catchy as hell.
Piano, and a car alarm went off outside just as I was about to play the final verse, so it's very obvious when the rerecording cuts in!
One of those sequels that... feels like it has nothing to do with the original film. And it didn't! Seriously. There are only THREE PEOPLE in the entire credits who were in both films: Dom Deluise, storyboard-artist-turned-director Larry Leker, and layout artist John Byrne (not that John Byrne). It's incredible. All the stuff that the first film did so poorly (story flow, clear dialogue, songs, violence) are mitigated entirely and improved, cheap as it was and farmed out everywhere. It's one of those "Wait, holy crap" things.
And I adore them both. In my freshman year of high school, I did that thing every autistic person should have done at age nine and worn out the same VHS tapes over and over, haha... "Balto," "Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)," "Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939)," "Funny Face," and "ADGTH1." It's a trip looking back at how those films fucked up my perception of storytelling and pacing for the rest of my life. Hans Bacher and David Goetz, my hat goes off to you and your use of purple. Was "Zootopia" your apotheosis of that?
