The First Ever Version Of This Disney Classic Will Give You A New Fantastic Point of View

By Tanya
Aladdin might very well be one of the best Disney movies out there. The songs, the story, Robin Williams... Really just everything about this movie is absolute perfection. The most famous songs in the film is "A Whole New World" for obvious reasons. It's a beautiful love song that has exploration and adventure all while managing to do a bunch of character development in the span of a two minute song. It's always been one of my favorites, and probably one of the most fun to sing along with when you re-watch the movie for the thousandth time. Something about

By Tanya
When you were in school, the teachers had a series of songs that they would get you sing as a group right? You would go through usually a very short and simple song over and over so everyone would learn it and it would just be a fun exercise in between lessons.

Whether it's a love song, a generational anthem, or a nostalgic look back on youth, the stories behind the song and its lyrics are what help us connect with them.
