“TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY” 203<br />

to go to infinity, if not further, in the cause of justice and goodness. Fred<br />

LaBour wrote the whimsical song, which echoes the satiric nature of the<br />

character of Buzz.<br />

“To the Fairies <strong>The</strong>y Draw Near” is the opening number for the<br />

animated video Tinker Bell (2008), a prequel of sorts to Peter Pan (1953).<br />

Loreena McKennitt wrote the folk-like song, filled with the flavor of an old<br />

Irish ballad, and sings it on the soundtrack when the new fairy Tinker Bell is<br />

born. <strong>The</strong> lyric explains how the fairies bring about spring, and the number<br />

is reprised at the end of the film when Tinker Bell and all the other fairies<br />

travel to the mainland to deliver the seeds of spring.<br />

“Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day” is the rapid rock song written and<br />

performed by the group Bowling for Soup in the opening sequence of the<br />

animated television series Phineas and Ferb (2007). <strong>The</strong> vigorous, satiric<br />

number counts the days of summer vacation and lists the cockeyed ways the<br />

stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb plan to use them, from fighting a mummy to<br />

climbing the Eiffel Tower to locating Frankenstein’s brain.<br />

“Together Time” is the merry waltz number that celebrates the mating<br />

season in nature, as heard in the movie Perri (1957), about a squirrel and<br />

a year of life in the forest. With the coming of spring, all the animals in<br />

the wooded landscape seem to be pairing off, and a studio chorus sings<br />

the cheerful number celebrating the end of winter and the time for two of<br />

everything. Paul J. Smith, Gil George, Ralph Wright, and Winston Hibler<br />

collaborated on the song, which is reprised at the end of the movie when<br />

the squirrel Perri is finally reunited with her mate.<br />

“Together We Can” is the lite-rock song about girl bonding that teenagers<br />

Galleria (Raven-Symoné), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), Aqua (Kiely Williams),<br />

and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) sing in the television film <strong>The</strong> Cheetah<br />

Girls (2003). John Van Tongeren wrote the pop number, in which the four<br />

girls boast that they can do anything, including saving the human race, if<br />

they do it together. <strong>The</strong> song was made into a music video featuring the<br />

four singers.<br />

“Tomorrow Is Another Day” is the expansive song of optimism Carol<br />

Connors and Ayn Robbins wrote for the animated movie <strong>The</strong> Rescuers<br />

(1977). As the mice Bernard and Bianca fly on Albatross Airlines from<br />

New York City to the Devil’s Bayou in Louisiana, Shelby Flint sings the
