Yup, indeedy!Josh wrote:Likewise, she wrote the song "Feel Like A Million" for Kronk's New Groove.
Good song, and I really enjoyed hearing Eartha Kitt sing for Yzma for the first time.
Oh, and there's one other upcoming project from Tesori that you might be interested in, Vi: the Shrek musical. Smile
First time on-screen, anyway. The Emperor's New Groove soundtrack CD includes "Snuff Out the Light," one of Ms. Kitt's songs which was originally intended for the earlier version of the film, Kingdom of the Sun .. in which Yzma was a much more 'sinister' sorceress, whose vanity drives her to ensnare and extinguish the Sun. It's a very fun song; alas, I can only imagine the crazy visuals that might have accompanied it.Daniel wrote:Good song, and I really enjoyed hearing Eartha Kitt sing for Yzma for the first time.
Someday, I hope to see The Sweatbox, a documentary of the making of Kingdom of the Sun made by Sting's wife, during the production. Disney has kept a tight 'lid' on the film, since apparently their production process is not shown in the best 'light'. I had one opportunity to see it several years ago, when ASIFA-Hollywood had a screening .. but I didn't go, and I've been 'kicking' myself, ever since.
But, as I said, TENG works just 'fine', without them. (though, of course, there is the 'quicky' Tom Jones tune, "Perfect World," which opens & closes the movie) ..
Oh, wow, I didn't know that! I do buy CD's of Disney from time to time, but was never interested in The Emperor's New Groove. Big mistake, eh?droosan wrote:First time on-screen, anyway.

"Supposedly, people weren't interested in watching hand-drawn animation as much as computerized animation," says Lasseter, weeks after announcing work had begun on The Princess and the Frog. Due in 2009, it's Disney's first true 2-D fairy tale since 1991's Beauty and the Beast. "But what people weren't interested in was watching bad movies. It's as (Finding Nemo director) Andrew Stanton said: 2-D became a scapegoat for bad storytelling."
Instead, "it's all what you do with the medium. And the studio that should be doing 2-D is the studio that started it all."
Much like Uncle Walt, Lasseter believes a director's vision is the key to superior animation.
