Through powerful vocals, or scary sounds, these Disney songs will give anyone goosebumps!
Who has never hummed “’Livre Está’, Elsa’s theme song in ‘Frozen’? Or “Saber Quem Sou” from ‘Moana’? Or even “Quase Lá”, the lyrics that show Tiana’s ambition from ‘The Princess and the Frog’? The truth is that all these songs prove that Disney is capable of creating unique songs for its protagonists, which with just one chord, can transport viewers into the magical universe of animations.
But in addition to the protagonists, the studio’s villains also perform solo musical numbers to help tell their own story or reveal the motivations behind their evil actions, which, regardless of the context in which they are inserted within the plot, carry much of the personality of each one of the antagonists and cause goosebumps through powerful vocals, or scary sounds.
Thinking about it, RECREIO separated below a list with 5 villainous songs from disney that are impossible not to shiver. Check out!
1. “In the Dark of the Night” – Anastasia
‘Anastasia’ became a Disney-owned film after 21st Century Fox (the film’s original production company) was purchased by the studio. Thus, with the animation going to Mickey’s House, the company can count on the presence of one of the most imposing villains of all time: Rasputin.
The sorcerer who is determined to become the most powerful in Russia tries to get rid of all members of the Romanov family forever, has his dark purpose revealed through a frightening musical number. Check out!
2. “Friends on the other side” – The Princess and The Frog
Upon Prince Naveen’s arrival in New Orleans, Dr. Facilier, finds the ‘pot of gold at the end of the rainbow’, since, after seeing the past and the true desires of the possible future king, he finds the opportunity to establish a deal with the young noble and take advantage of the situation.
So, to convince the prince to accept the deal, he sings, showing how manipulative and persuasive he can be to get what he wants and at the same time pay off a debt he acquired with the “Friends on the other side”.
3. “Get Ready” – The Lion King
Scar, the lion who wanted to rise to power one way or another, ended up letting the dream of commanding the forest rule his life, becoming an ambitious and selfish being, willing to go over even his family to get it. What you want.
The solo song showed what he was capable of doing to fulfill his wishes, as the character is the protagonist of one of the saddest scenes in cinema, as Scar killed his own brother and banished Simba from the Lands of the Kingdom.
4. “Poor Unhappy Hearts” – The Little Mermaid
Destined to live her dream and walk among humans on the surface, the princess of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Ariel, seeks out Ursula so that the Sea Witch can grant her her coveted legs.
At that moment, the villain embarks on a somber song, which in the Brazilian version receives the voice of Zezé Motta, to show what she is capable of doing as long as the right price is paid, generating the agreement known in the film: Ariel can finally leave sea, but at the same time, he gives his beautiful voice to the witch.
5. “Your Mom Knows Best” – Tangled
Showing that not every villain needs supernatural powers or acts rudely to cause fear, Mother Gothel uses weapons much more based on reality, since with her aggressive passive language, she makes emotional blackmail and abuses Rapunzel’s fear under the excuse of being a worried mother to get what she really wants.
