outlaws.
“Welcome to the Kingdom” is the spectacular opening number written
by Jay Blackton (music) and Joe Cook (lyric) for the 1979 Radio City Music
Hall stage version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The citizens
of the kingdom sing this introductory song, which tells the audience they
are about to enter a magical world of fairy tales. The stage production was
taped and broadcast on pay TV in 1980 and on the Disney Channel in 1987
as Snow White Live.
“Welcome to Toontown” is the jumping rock song written for the opening
of Mickey’s Toontown attraction at Disney World in 1993. The happy
number, about the joy of being in such a special place, has been used in parades
and shows in the colorful re-creation of a cartoon town where Mickey
and his friends live. The Fab 5 recorded the number, and their version is
used in the parks as well.
“We’ll Smoke the Blighter Out” is a silly list song by Oliver Wallace (music),
Ted Sears, and Winston Hibler (lyric) for the animated movie fantasy
Alice in Wonderland (1951). After Alice (voice of Kathryn Beaumont) has
eaten a piece of cake inside the house of the White Rabbit (Bill Thompson),
she grows so large that everyone thinks she’s a monster. The Dodo
(also voiced by Thompson) sings this merry number listing all the ways they
might try to get the monster out of the house.
“We’re All in This Together” is the repetitive and catchy song of optimism
that Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil wrote for the finale of the
television movie High School Musical (2006). Although the school’s jocks,
nerds, skaters, drama geeks, and brainiacs have been at odds with each
other over the past weeks, they all unite in singing this plucky, sentimental
song about celebrating the differences that make them strong. The number
is led by basketball jock Troy Bolton (Zac Efron, with singing assist by
Andrew Seeley), math whiz Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Anne Hudgens),
drama queen Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale), and her performing brother
Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), but soon all the Wildcats are singing and dancing to
the hopeful song. The number is reprised by the same characters during the
graduation scene in the film sequel High School Musical 3 (2008).
