“ANOTHER PART OF ME” 5
“Anastasia’s Theme” is the tender song of longing written by Alan Zachary
and Michael Weiner for the animated video sequel Cinderella III: A
Twist in Time (2007). The Evil Stepmother has used magic to erase the
prince’s memory of Cinderella and arranges a marriage between him and
her daughter Anastasia (singing voice of Lesli Margherita). Although Anastasia
sees her dream coming true, she questions in this reflective number
the validity of a love forced by magic and wishes the prince loved her for
herself.
“And Now to Sleep” is the soothing lullaby written by George Bruns
(music) and Winston Hibler (lyric) for the nature film Perri (1957) about
a female squirrel and her first year of life in the forest. An unidentified
female singer on the soundtrack sings the number, which comforts a young
one and encourages sleep. Nature footage of mother and baby animals
snuggling together in the night accompanies the song, which is also titled
“Lullaby of the Wildwood.”
“And Son” is the Italian-flavored duet, complete with concertina accompaniment,
that Stephen Schwartz wrote for the television musical Geppetto
(2000) which looks at the Pinocchio tale from the toymaker’s point of view.
After the Blue Fairy brings the puppet Pinocchio (Seth Adkins) to life, the
proud Geppetto (Drew Carey) takes his new “son” through the village,
proclaiming him perfect and their relationship ideal. Yet their optimism is
damped by Pinocchio’s naive actions, which indicate that not all is perfect.
“Another Believer” is the hopeful song by Rufus Wainwright (music and
lyric) and Marius De Vries (music) from the animated film Meet the Robinsons
(2007). While Lewis works on a time machine to take him back to
his birth year, where he hopes to convince his birth mother not to abandon
him, Wainwright sings this wistful number about believing that the future
will bring a better life.
“Another Part of Me” is the climactic celebration number written and
performed by Michael Jackson in the 3-D movie Captain EO at the Journey
into Imagination attraction at Epcot in 1986. Having conquered the evil
tyrant Supreme Leader (Anjelica Huston), Captain EO (Jackson) sings of
one’s interconnectedness as a member of a shared world and the number
explodes into the final dance segment of the seventeen-minute film. Jackson
recorded the song for his 1987 album Bad. The Captain EO film was
also seen at Disneyland in California and at Disneyland Resort Paris.
