10 Disney Songs That Didn't Make the Cut
Animated Disney GIFs

Many Disney movies are known and praised for their songs. While some songs were there from the beginning, many we're replaced by another song or just didn't make it into the movie. Here are just a few songs that didn't make it into their Disney movies.

1. "Beyond the Laughing Sky" (Alice in Wonderland)

This song was replaced by "A World of My Own." If you listen closely, you'll notice that the tune of this song is the same as "The Second Star to the Right" from Peter Pan. That melody was intended for Alice and this song, but as it was replaced, the tune was carried over to Peter Pan instead.


2. "One Dance" (The Little Mermaid)

This song was replaced by "Part of Your World" and the two are actually quite similar. The songs both convey how they want to be a part of Eric's world. However, this specific song, was more about sharing a dance with Prince Eric.

3. "I Can't Believe My Heart" (Hercules)

This song was meant to be sung by Meg, but she is not one to really sing a ballad. It wasn't very fitting to the character of Meg, which is most likely why it was cut from the film. Also, her solo song "I Won't Say I'm in Love" is quite similar and conveys the message that this cut song would have.


4. "If I Never Knew You" (Pocahontas)

While this song was played in the film during the credits, there was an intended version for Pocahontas and John Smith to sing in the film. There is an animated scene with it as well, and can be found on special editions of Pocahontas.


5. "Human Again" (Beauty and the Beast)

While this song was cut from the original film, it was restored in the Special Edition of Beauty and the Beast in 2002 and the Special Platinum Edition in 2010. This song is sung by the enchanted objects and was to take place as they were cleaning before the big ballroom/dance/date scene.


6. "Dancing on a Cloud" (Cinderella)

This song was meant to be during the ball, and is quite similar to the song "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful" from Rodger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Why was it cut? We're not really sure, but perhaps it is because there were already too many slower songs in Cinderella. This song can be found on special editions of the DVD.


7. "Someday" (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

This song was played in the credits of this movie, but was originally intended to be sung by Esmeralda. However, "God Help the Outcasts" was deemed more fit to the movie's style and tone. While this may be true, there is a recording with the singing voice of Esmeralda, in special editions of this movie.


8. "Music in Your Soup" (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

This song was cut from the movie and was going to be used in the sequel back when it was in the work. But, the sequel, Snow White Returns, was cancelled as well.


9. "Humiliate The Boy" (Aladdin)

The first song was meant to be sung by Jafar and would've given him more of his own villain song that just the "Prince Ali (reprise)" he sang. It seems that it may have been cut because the song insinuates that Genie could grant an unlimited amount of wishes, which ended up being three in the final film.


10. "Proud of Your Boy" (Aladdin)

While this song didn't make the movie cut, it is a part of the Disney Broadway production of Aladdin. The reason it didn't make it into the film is that Aladdin's mother was cut and this song is meant to be sung by Aladdin with her in mind.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
