- Disney’s newest villain song “This Is The Thanks I Get” from “Wish” was a little... meh! But the bones are salvable! To prove it Grant, one of our talented songwriters here at Pixel Playhouse, remade it in the style of CLASSIC Disney Villains, like Frollo, Ursula, Dr. Facilier, and of course… Scar!
They were TRULY evil!
Video by songwriter Grant Steller, go Grant! @GrantSteller

#disneyanimation #disneywish - Hudba
Hey, Steller here! It made my day reading through all your kind words. I am so happy to be working with Pixel Playhouse and you will be seeing me again!
This full song will be available on me (Grant Steller) and Caleb Hyles spotify soon, it would mean the world if I could earn your support.
I just wanted to clear up that arranging the song in the four distinct (and perhaps jarringly) different villians styles was intentional! I was aiming to explore how 4 of disneys best villains would behave in Magnifico's situation, and that meant changing everything! No shortcuts.
Which villains rendition did you like the most?
Dr. Facilier's! I may be biased because he sings my absolutely favorite disney villain song, but I thought the melody's fun bounciness reflected the attempt of a utopian society, while the minor key (I think -- I don't have a ton of technical knowledge of music) and caleb's bitter performance felt like a character descending into rageful madness. Literally got chills as I heard it 👏👏
I loved all of them. How long did it take you to finish this?
Will the full song be on CZcams as well? Also, I can’t decide it was all so good
I think for the "villain with good publicity" Facillier's rendition works best and is probably most original (the other ones are deeply immersed in the musical structure of source material), but personally I think Scar works better to me in context of Magnifico making decision in the privacy of his castle. He still has the mask of benevolence, but it's visibly (and audibly) slipping. If I were to offer commentary for full version, the Scar's fragment presented here would make most sense as second verse, while the first would be slightly calmer, start at proclaiming the greatness of himself and his kingdom, pivoting to "ungratefulness", with chorus having a faux-playful quality. Then second verse laments the "disobedience" and morphs into determined call to action, while chorus is genuinly furious. Then finish with escalating bridge and unhinged final chorus.
dr facilier's has to be my favourite! the bounciness of it is just so pleasing to the ear! but i also like ursula's a lot :]
At this point, I say we all team up to remake Wish.
Pinkamichestudios are making a rewrite of wish. However, the character names are different to avoid issues.
@@akeelahbruce1821 awesome
@@akeelahbruce1821 any truth to this? i cant seem to find the name "Pinkamichestudios" anywhere on the internet
@@InfernalSkelett it is
@@akeelahbruce1821is there a link to a video of theirs cause I typed in the channel and couldn’t find it
“Complaining about your living but you’re living with out rent” is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the original. Holy cow
Also, the new line "Surround yourself with yes's, and you'll never hear a no" is such a banger bar
Hopefully that can also fix "I'm a Star" because that is just a random assortment of lines that rhyme.
@@4lackofbetter what's wrong with "watch out world, here I are"?
(I'm being ironic, by the way).
@@4lackofbetterThe turtle carried that whole damn song
the song writer was actually a pop song writer and they didn't even tell her what the movie was about
Wait actually????
(The didn’t even tell her thing)
Yep
I think they also made her write the songs in like, 3 days?! Don´t quote me on that, but it would certaintly explain why every single song sounds like a first draft.
Yeah, it's unfair how many people hate on her.
Yes. The lyrics are bad. Yes, they don't really fit the story. Half of that is not her fault.
@@HimekoIzayoiI think she got 1-2 weeks, which is still awful. she should’ve been developing the songs alongside the writers writing the story, not making something last-minute at who knows what point in the production considering she hardly knew the plot (generic and inconsequential lyrics) and they still changed things while she wrote them (one of the songs being suspected to have originally being a love song and then later changed). Disney seems to be testing out how terrible they can treat the people that work for them. But maybe if they do terrible enough they can get sued out of getting in their own employees’ way, lol.
The fact that "This is the Thanks I Get?" sounds closer to "You're Welcome" than an actual Disney villain song says a lot about where they went wrong
Are you implying that "Your Welcome" was NOT a villain song?
@@TailsFan It was more of an introduction to an egotistical protagonist rather than a villain. 'Shiny' was the villain song in Moana
@@curly9138 Ehhh, I dunno, I wouldn't call Maui a protagonist, but okay.
@@TailsFan Its similar to elsa in frozen, she caused the commotion, but overall she is a protagonist because she had no bad intentions, was forgiven, and was sorrowful, also assisted in solving the problem in the finale of the movie
@@curly9138Being a protagonist or an antagonist has nothing to do with moral alignment. There are hero antagonists and villain protagonists, all that matters is whether a character represents one of the main perspectives a story is told from, or if they oppose those that do. Elsa is an antagonist because the story focuses on Anna and it's Elsa's winter and insecurities that are causing most of the issues, and she's refusing to come home or stop the winter. You could take Hans out entirely and the story would still largely work because it's not really about him, he was just thrown in as a villain so that Disney could portray her as a good character.
Something that irritates me greatly; Magnifico could've been our entrance into grey Disney villains, not pure evil like the classic ones. I didn't want a villain who's evil for no reason; I wanted a villain who believed they were right and made a real point.
I mean, he is pretty much that, but done poorly lmao
@@Chaki21 EXACTLY THE PROBLEM.
@@OpticalSorcerer oh, I mistead it as you saying he wasn't that
@@Chaki21 He was, but as you said, he was done terribly. They made him a heel-turn villain, and because of it, everyone ignored his point. He literally said people come to him because achieving their dreams is too hard, and later in the film, everyone says they should work to achieve their own dreams and that Magnifico sold a lie to them.
@@OpticalSorcerer They literally revolt against the one that activly tries to protect them and their desire, and then at the end he becomes pure evil for no reason (why... does he suddenly destroy wishes for no reason ?)
Magnifico honestly comes off more as a father tired of being disrespected and taken for granted rather than an actual villain.
@@arcahmwinters70 Frankly, they just badly wrote him. His backstory would say actually kind and caring. The way he was portrayed in the present in the movie, you likely are right about what they were going for.
Based on the line "You can feel them already, can't you?" It leads me to believe he's kind of a drug addict at the point when the movie starts, addicted to the euphoria that the wishes provide.
He thinks he’s a victim but really, he’s been style over substance since the initial trailers.
@@AnaxErik4ever I don't Even really think he consciously thought he was a victim. Not going to argue the style over substance aspect. That part is quite true. Lol
To me he came across as an incel who had too much power and wasted it all for nothing.
@@xo-alien-xohow does he come off as an incel?
Huge thanks for having me!! Any chance I get to be THIS theatrical, I'm taking lol You absolutely nailed every creative decision 👏
You did a wonderful job!
You absolutely killed it!
You did an amazing job with this song!
You were fantastic too, bravo!
Your vocals are amazing
Honestly having nods to villain songs would have made such a good tribute to Disney like wish was supposed to be
Yep
This comment is so true, at this point Disney would of been better of if this guy was the head producer of the music they make! ✨🎶🎇
Wish may have had some references of previous Disney works as tributes here and there, but the fact that their songs had NONE of that is just outrageous.
Instead we get an accurate “Disney villain from wish” meme
Honestly Puss in Boots:Last Wish seems like better tribute to Disney history tribute.
My headcannon was that Magnifico was supposed to capitalize on people's dreams, but midway through production they realized they were just critizinsing themselves and tossed that concept appart for what we got.
They did confirm he was supposed to eat the wishes. I wonder if they changed it for the reason you explain.
@@jackalcoyote8777 He DID consume them in the actual movie, but it was after he started using the book.
Oh my goodd it would've been so amazing to have Asha and the rest of the citizens believe their wishes are kept safe. And then during the main conflict of the story where they were holding a revolution against Magnifico, Asha asks "where are the wishes!!??" and Magnifico reveals it's where he gets his powers from. Sort of like a power supply for him. Ultimately, it would be the wishes being too powerful and too many for Magnifico to handle that will defeat him (maybe he consumes Star and he cracks or something disturbing, Mother Gothel's death even disturbed me as a kid, so it would be fine).
🎵and this is the FILM WE GOOOOOOOOOT🎵
He's not even a villain. He's just a mere man that did so much and his entitled people took him for granted. So much to the point that he finally snapped.
Completely agree. It's also messed up how quickly his wife turned on him. She had no regret or guilt in betraying him. I can't believe how flippant she was at the end.
I think the most sorry I felt for him was after the song "At all coasts". Like, he was so genuinely happy that Asha treated wishes the way HE did, like the treasures that must be protected. As a viewer you can see the relief that he finally found the partner who will help people unconditionally just like him, and then the first thing this girl is doing is constantly using the moment to ask him for favour, something probably thousands of people were doing after they got close to him. The disappointment on his face in that moment? My heart broke.
literally a hero and he's so good at it too
@@simsgirl1235 Has anyone asked him what his wish would be? Did it ever come true?
If I were the king, I'd have children and pass on the wisdom to my offspring.
@@TylerMcNamer My sis and I theorized that the king and queen tried to have kids, that having a child was their wish, but something happened and they lost the child. Then, because of that incident, they were unable to have more. We thought it'd be good backstory and add some depth coz it's strange they don't have an heir.
Sometimes cousins or nephews would be chosen as heir when the king and queen didn't have a child......but they didn't have anyone.
The remake of this villain song is more entertainning than the actual movie💀.
yupp
How did you turn that commercial jingle into something GREAT and TERRIFYING like this?! I love this new version!! And Caleb’s vocals made it even better!!!
He has such a great voice!!
@@PixelPlayhouseit would be funny if you made a video doing the opposite to the other villain songs (making them a commercial jingle) 😂
simply changing it from a major key to a minor key made a HUGE difference. all the classic disney villain songs are in minor keys because that's the point, it's supposed to sound sinister and unsettling. major keys are too upbeat for a proper villain song.
Caleb just SOUNDS like a classic Disney villain when he sings! And that's more than just a compliment!
Agreed. The ending taking inspiration from Hunchback Of Notre Dame was SO perfect and _really_ made it frightening.
He had ALOT of fun singing that
A lot is 2 words 😂
@@ven-1972 it can actually be both
@@ven-1972 Depending on where you are in the word, it can be different
Honestly, I had a lot of fun listening to that.
I legit squealed at the part when he goes ‘all i asked for is some respect’. It define gave me proper Charismatic Villain vibes!!!
Some much more spite and frustration, love it!
The line “surround yourself with yeses and you’ll never hear a no” GOES SO HARDDDDDD
That is an actually scary line, when one thinks about it. It's great!
You know, if I had a nickel for every time someone wrote a proper villain song for Wish where King Magnifico's lines are sung by Caleb Hyles, I'd have two nickels . . .I know that's not a lot, but it's weird that there's two of them.
Beat me to it
Dr. Doofenshmirtz has some good villain songs to his name
where is the other one?
which isnt a lot, but its weird that it happened twice
Nice reference 😂
From Facilier and Ursula's manipulation to Scar's mask-off evil king mode and Frollo's "I'm better than all of you" attitude.
Perfect description
and if the movie had been done justice these themes could have been played out completely as either and individual piece or as a longer developed sequence.
Starting in the coercive feel of Facilier
Migrating into the cost and "toll" of granting wishes for "nothing" like Ursula
transferring into the self assured and vengeful Scar
And completing a round off of pomp and self rightousness as Frolo
Done over a longer sequence rather than a one off song would allow the motif to change and twist and allow a "mask" to fall off of the King. and you could then allow the king to complete the sequence with harvesting/devouring/absorbing a wish from someone that dies and the "power" of that being a driver to fuel the "evil ambition" of our vilian.
I could see this being like a sequence of reprises throughout the movie paying homage to the Disney villain songs….Linda like how the entire movie was paying homage to Disney movies
I will say I do love the rewrite idea. Thinking back on when I heard the song, while it is alright, hearing it more as a pop song would make it less villain-y. Plus, using other villain versions it a great inspiration and it keeps the title well. Plus, it has that "Easter Egg" feel. My only critique would be that it would feel too much and different theming mushed together, but if was worked on more, then I bet it would be amazing to hear again.
lots of musical numbers already do that sort of thing and i personally love the idea. if the switches weren't so abrupt i think it would work better however.
I believe it could work as a reprise, kinda like if it evolved from resentful to full-on vengeful and waging war against the ungrateful... Like, every 'villain' represents a section of his descent from paranoid-and-resentful to fully villainous/murderous (sorta this thing of "If you'll be ungrateful, I'll just erase you lot and start again")
Just break it up and have it reprise multiple times throughout the movie, and then it works great.
Or massage the segues a little more so it's not as sudden and sharp a jump between styles, but either way, this is a massive improvement.
@@robbybevard8034 totally agree
@@robbybevard8034 Ok I was looking for this comment. i love everything about this except that it feels very jarring to jump from one villain theme to the next. If, like you said, it was massaged out or just broken up across the movie then it would be amazing
"I forgave, not forgot" 😮😮😮 Caleb's voice was perfect for this line, so dark and devious, I love that it gives a background to the King's thoughts about what happened to his home. I do wish that was more explored in the movie!!
Yes the chillsssss 😅
THE VOCAL RANGE OH MY GOD?!
That's so wonderful! The mashup of all the past villain songs is so clever, and the lyrics actually fit the rhythm and make him seem like a villain! Thank you for making him a proper villain, because he was NOT a villain in the movie. Not truly, anyway! Keep up the great work!
I honestly *really* love the notion of a villain song that is essentially the hero being the catalyst for the face heel turn. Like "are you kidding me?! You know what? I'm sick of you people! Without me you'd all be nothing, _and it's about time I reminded you!"_
I do love all of the versions, and I would enjoy a full version of each of them even more! Since all of them sound really different, putting all of those parts in the same music would sound a bit odd, unless each part were spread across the movie, then it would truly make sense! I do miss the mention of the book because it was the only character trait we got from the music aside from "I'm a king and do king stuff but with wishing power" (miraculously tbh).
Having all of this aside, I would LOVE to hear a full "This is the thanks I get" in the Hunchback of Notredame style with this wonderful and dramatic instrumental alongside Caleb's beautiful voice! You guys did such a great job
Full versions of each! Ohh that’s a fun idea!!
@@PixelPlayhouse then do a Mashup of all voices at once at the end
Ok I thought it sounded pretty fair with all four pieces 💀
@@LARKXHIN Oh they sounded great! The only "problem" would be transitions and storytelling across the style of music!
To make it easier, try to imagine a scene with the music, with the character going around, with the background, etc etc, imagine the main villain singing his song when all of the sudden the style of the music changes drastically, the whole scene would have to change as well to fit the new music style, and since we're talking about a villain, changing scenes drastically so often would definitely make it feel... Weird, and not really villain-y, it could work very well with a "hero" music, but there is a reason villain songs never do that.
But I'm in no way saying they sound bad, literally the opposite! They managed to catch the styles so accurately, I could legit see the Ursula inspired one being in Little Mermaid! They're all so great
Personally I think it would be great to incorporate the different styles within the song, since it's Disney's 100th anniversary. I was thinking more along the style of the song Twisted, from Starkid's Twisted the Musical. The changes in style could come from each wish that Magnifico studies, though I'd suggest making the transitions flow better.
The songs are really great, I'd love a full version! If I could suggest something, it would be to make it relate more to Magnifico's character and motives, right now it seems disconnected from the movie. But overall it's still great.
I can imagine the visuals for this already. Him using his powers to emulate the vibe of the scenery of these other villains' songs while he uses their style. Maybe a few dolls and skulls for Dr. Facilier, Bubbles/making a potion for Ursula, Green flames and steam for Scar, and those flames turn into red hell fire for Frollo. He can pull down wishes with references to individual lines, like an Aladdin wish for that genuflect line.
I've got a few ideas. (slight movie spoilers ahead, obviously. So be careful.)
*Magnifico turning a human mannequin into a frog, to reference Dr Facilier's curse that he uses in the ending section of 'Friends On The Other Side.'*
*Magnifico uses his magic to call on a group of eels to play the brass section for Ursala's part, referencing Flotsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid*
*Magnifico (as Scar) stands over a wish of Mufasa becoming the king of the Pridelands, and then he forcefully throws it off the tower to reference the emotional 'Long Live the King' scene from The Lion King. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed would make an appearance in the background orchestra, probably on the marimba, drums, and xylophone. There would also be green flames and steam used as visual effects to reference Scar's villain song 'Be Prepared.'*
*And lastly, Magnifico as Frollo with the tower's windows in a shade of red to reference the song 'Hellfire'.*
*For the Aladdin reference, he'd pull down a wish of a young boy and girl who look similar to Aladdin and Jasmine sitting on a magic carpet, referencing the song 'A Whole New World'.*
I will agree that the four main inspirations, while they sound fantastic, are a little *too* different; this is where you’d want to add in some of Wish’s own identity (if it had one >.>) to really glue it all together into a song that both pays homage to the old classics and stands on its own. At least, that’s how I see it.
Safe to say, though, this almost made me wanna watch Wish. Until I remembered what the film was and became a little sad.
Amazing rendition!
Edit: also also, 5:48 I just relistened to this and “I forgave, not forgot” is SUCH A GOOD LINE FOR THE FILM OMG
Agreed on the 4 being too different. At least as a pure audio. A lot could probably be ironed out with visuals as well. Otherwise, yes it comes put a little schizophrenic.
....which could be a cool thing if Magnifico had that going on- talking/arguing with reflections as the stress piles on in the story and he becomes more frayed and breaks down to the point different personalities/insecutities/traumas/whatever are coming through in the song.
Yeah, obviously this is intended as four clips of possible songs in each of the four villains styles, but honestly, if you took and move Scar to the beginning, sang them all like they were actually being sung by the same guy instead of embodying the villain each part was an homage to, and give the background music a cohesive style, this is pretty great.
I think this would have worked in the movie by using it at 3 different points. First in his discussion with what's her name, the second verse during the second act when confronted by someone else, and the third and fourth when he fully embraces becoming the villain when faced with outright revolt.
I would like to see original villain song in his character that would sound like real villain. But this tribute to past villains in their styles is still epic and enough of substitute for that ♥
I like this one but it could use the original as part of it as well.
5:21
“Surround yourself with yesses, and you’ll never hear a no” is such a good lyric
Especially good job replicating the Ursula vibe! Caleb is obviously having a ball and giving an engaging, entertaining performance. Really liked the line and delivery for, "I forgave, not forgot" !
You and Jonah give Wish the sound it deserved as a 100 year celebration 🙌 Love this reimagined tone in classic styles and Jonah’s rewrite while keeping the tone of the song
I have no words for how amazing this is. Such marvelous job and a powerful voice! I don't know much about songwriting but this sounds shockingly better.
So glad you like it!! Grant is the best and we’re so lucky he’s part of pixel playhouse!! Check out his channel on the description, he’s prepping to put out some content too!!
Wow... I can clearly see Magnifico (as he should have been) belting it out at the top of his tower! And the Frollo part makes for a grand reprise when he finally goes full villain mode!!! So... how are you so much better than Disney, again? Not evil magic, I hope? :)
At first the Wish song rewrites were spaced 7 weeks apart, then 5, then 27 days. Within two weeks we could be witnessing a full fan-made reboot of a Disney film.
As an artist that’s been practicing storyboarding & 2D animation, I’m temped…
i need animated version!!
Haha don’t tempt us!!
@@PixelPlayhouse Can I try making a storyboard? I got some animatics and test animations on my channel if you wanna see what I can do.
@@PixelPlayhouse We still want to tempt you
Holy mackerel….. I haven’t had that much fun listening to a theatre song in a long time…. Wow, just wow
After listening one thing that stood put to me was the emotion. The original singing isn't emotionally emphasized, it just sounds like someone complaining in the snack room of their office job.
The remake you did emphasized anger, woe, and spite-- which showed what the character was being driven by. The original sounds petty and immafure while this one sounds like a significant development of character that's going to change the course of the story.
The fact this immediately got me singing along and hits harder than the movie could EVER
I think all four versions are awesome and would love to hear each one as their own full version
maybe you could also do a version of this song in mother gothel's style
Forget Wish's og songwriters, they should just hire you. I'll be honest i didn't expect your remake to be that good
the chills i got were craazzy
Yay so glad
“I forgave, not forgot” goes crazy.
Why is this like 1000% so much than the original Disney “this is what I get song” XD good job! It feels so much more vibrant and story filled
I am so going to send this to one of my friends xD
i love how expressive caleb is while singing!!! it really does help his singing have more emotion
THERE Disney! Was that really so hard?
You nailed it, this is perfect! I've already listened to this three times!
Can I just say, not only is this song way more iconic and classically Disney, the fact it does segments that call back to the styles of prior villains would probably actually accomplish the 100 year anniversary references they were trying to pull off in Wish. And it's in a way that gives it meaning and uniqueness as opposed to being lazy and half-thought out like the movie/music we got. Well done
The rewrite is very good! But it does sound like 4 different songs combined together
That was kinda the idea, inspired by different big classic villains… oh and frollo is my fav
lots of musicals do that kind of thing where its still the same song but the tone and instrumentation changes. i personally love the idea, its like each verse he gets more and more sinister!
Honestly would’ve matched tho considering that Wish is supposed to have tons of references from past movies
@@TheFinalBoss-ni7dv While referencing is the point for Wish. If there is too much, it might look like it’s just meant to be that without a story. This song, in my opinion, won’t fit well with the villain and story about wishes.
@@tri_iris6890 gotta admit tho it still manages to be better than the original
I'm obsessed with the Ursula inspired section. It's all phenomenal but that part in particular, amazing
i really love the idea o mashing 4 different styles in it especially knowing wish was supposed to be a celebration of disney movies, it feels like a clever way to reference old movies, on top of sounding great
The lyric update alone gave me life. The Dr. Facilier vibe was my favorite and I could definitely see that one suiting Chris Pine's vocals a lot more. Caleb was hitting those notes though! Go off, king!!! ❤️
I HEARD CALEB HYLES AND I STARTED SCREAMING HE ATE
So there's a toxic cycle that often occurs the workplace that I think would've been PERFECT villain motivation:
1. Underlings look to leader for affirmation
2. Leader interprets this as a need for guidance
3. Leader begins more closely managing everything
4. Underlings begin resenting the leader for micromanaging everything
5. Leader begins resenting underlings for needing constant supervision
If I was writing Wish, I would've used this cycle as the central conflict for the film, being the motivation for BOTH the hero and villain.
Oh my god, this is so good. Not only the demeaning nature of it for both parties but that neither really wanted it to turn out this way, but this is how it is now and there's no turning back
Rescoring and rewritting Wish's songs should count as an assignment in film music related courses
I'm genuinely flabbergasted how you were able to keep anything from the original and have it sound this spectacular and villainous. Caleb fuckin' killed it too, I especially liked the mermaid/hunchback inspired parts. You guys did a great job.
A movie that pays tribute to Disney's tapestry of movie history has such potential in concept, my main concern when hearing all the "Wish is supposed to be a tribute" marketing was that it would feel too derivative. Instead it managed to disappoint in countless other surprising ways. It's nice to see some people picking up on all that lost potential musically.
It's the same as with the visuals, they have so much history to draw from. Anything from the whimsical storybook style of Snow White or Pinnochio, or Eyvind Earle-style graphic landscapes of the 50s, all the way through to the well-rendered but fantastical sets of their renaissance movies and beyond. And what we got clearly showed some effort, especially the pre-vis art, but for the most part just ended up looking like the same thing we've been seeing since Tangled but flatter. But as a visual artist, I'd still say it was more disappointing musically than visually, even if it was kind of mediocre across the board.
The good part about Wish not being good, is amazing things like this happening! This is SO cool !!
Scar sounds like the main theme everyone remembers while frollos sounds like the reprise that begins the third act
If Wish becomes a musical, this is the version we’re giving to Disney! This actually screams “Happy 100 Years, Villains! Keep on making distress and trouble!”
The line "Surround yourself with 'yes'es and you'll never hear a 'no' " caught me so off guard in the best way possible
Man, that Scar part served a perfect Javert!!!
LITERAL CHILLS AT THE END. You and your friend are both SO so talented. Thank you for this re-write
What I like about this is that it incorporates the themes of many OTHER famous Disney villain songs. Which is probably what Wish, as the 100 year celebration movie, should've done!
Imagine if they actually made the couple villians, and each had their own villain song time (both representing the villians past), and that evolved into a duet? In hindsight, it might be a bit much, but I'm sure Disney could've figured it out.
I just wish that they would’ve made the wife actually a twist villain, like a mix of old Disney and modern Disney. Which would really be great for a 100 year anniversary.
By getting inspired by specific villains and adapting certain styles into the song, you've made more of an homage to Disney's 100 years than the whole movie did
Please, PLEASE put this on Spotify
ABSOLUTELY MASTERFULLY DONE!!! Everything from the lyrics to the performance!! No words, I'm just beyond happy to see individuals, who care about music, do better than companies. SPLENDID JOB, EVERYONE 💖💖💖
We just need a good budget, some indie animators, and we're rewriting this movie
Hey look, a few ‘nobodies’ were able to make a massive improvement to a multi-million dollar budget movie song.
What a shock.
"I forgave, not forgot" is such a cold line
This is amazing! You can really feel the inspiration and care that went into creating the lyrics and the musical inspirational styles shine through. Truly great!
I love how you mixed the styles of different iconic Disney villains, as Wish is supposed to be an anniversary movie- so it totally makes sense that there’d be references to the very best the studio has made! It’s genius!!
the melody is so much better now, it actually portrays magnifico's bitterness and rage in a way that isn't absolute cringe.
I was loving it so much I replayed it and sang along Broadway style!
I seriously feel like you might need a whole video with animation dedicated to the song part! It's sooo good! And the message is HERE!
I don't mind the pop so long as there is some good lyric work behind it. "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton is a pop song, but the lyric work makes it clear that it's meant to be a song about a mad stalker. The problem is that Wish's lyric work needs improvement.
I knew the Frollo part was gonna pop off and it did. (All the parts did but the Frollo part fully lived up to the grandiosity)
This song makes me root for the villain, which is the soul of a proper Disney villain song.
I love how in this song, you see a descent from a generous king frustrated with the nagging of the ungrateful masses to a tyrannical dictator who will silence any who complain about his rule.
I had a hug grin on my face listening to the different Disney villain versions of the song. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
NORM from Phineas & Ferb had a fantastic villain and it’s very upbeat and hilarious while still having a dark undertone. Journey Beyond Sodor is a direct to DVD release for Thomas and Friends and it also has a fantastic villain song thanks that’s also very upbeat and it even has an interesting way to show the audience who the villains are while the lead is understandably in the dark.
I want Disney to make a more complex villain, someone seemingly not actually evil but just with a different viewpoint until ultimately, at the climax of the movie, actively choosing the bad side, absolutely aware of that decision, and letting the hero down to embrace their evil side.
It's because it's not a villain song, it's too relatable.
THIS IS THE SONG WE NEEDED🔥🔥
Very impressive! Wonderful vocals and lyrics!🎉
However, this peice felt like four separate song snippets, not one completed rewrite. I'd actually like to see you explore each of the four songs that you made. For example, I'd enjoy seeing the Scar version made into a full-length musical number! It would be cool to see how the tune could build and evlove as the kings solo came to a villainous climax.😈
This is increasable, truly sounds like a golden age Disney original! I am just sad that it did feel like 4 separate songs instead of one. But that was the intent. Now I just wanna hear all four versions in full. Amazing!
The rewrite is such a success! And you couldn't have found a better person to sing it than Caleb Hyles 🥰
Facilier's Style was very good, But Ursula's style was just on point! Perfect.
Awesome job!
THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD, WHAT
"I forgave but not forgot"
*CHILLS*
I love how even if you made the song sound like a villain song,he still seems more like a good guy than a bad guy.
Facilier style reminds me of Oogie Boogie Song
YIPPEEE A NEW SONG (REMAKE)
Audiences don't want to hate things and this video is proof.
I dare you to touch the steaming dung heap that is "I'm a Star." Triple dog dare you.
Now THIS is a song I want to make an animatic for
DO IT! would LOVE to see it!
Wow... I can see how all 4 sections could be separated by short scenes where Magnifico starts out mildly annoyed... but at the end he's full on "Oh... you think this is bad? You haven't seen nothing yet!!"
THAT WORKS!!! You get it. Now THAT is the essence of a Disney villain! And by making notes from the past villains would be perfect to honor the legacy.
I genuinely wanted to give him a standing ovation!! Great job!
I say this as someone who enjoyed the original song fine as an energetic pop tune: This is an impressive update in a lot of areas, particularly when it comes to lyrics and instrumentation. I would say it still lacks a real character or narrative point to focus on, which is very important of any musical number, in my opinion. But if your goal was to craft a song about a petulant and insecure man getting irritated by others around him, I'd say "Well done".
I think the lack of the villain is more due to story and not the song but I do agree
THIS IS SO GOOOD
I have no words from how amazing this is, that’s the type of songs that make me obsessed with musicals, the ones that gave SHIVERS from how perfect they are
The “And I give. All I got.” Part kinda reminds me of Summer from Frozen for some reason
