Colors of the Wind

On the TV series The Wonder Years, what was the name of Kevin Arnold's love interest? Winnie.

What volcanic eruption is the most destructive in U.S. history? Colors of the Wind is a song from what Disney motion picture soundtrack? Pocahontas.

In the 1996 and 2000 presidential election, Ralph Nader ran for office under what party?

The Green Party.

I really appreciated the music in both of those.

Pocahontas, you know, Colors of the Wind, you've got all the... dig for gold factor the visuals started to change though they weren't all super glossy there were there were nuances to it

whole contest is um that is like a harder one for me to talk about because of the historical context of it i have a lot of mixed feelings around it i said when i was um younger, I really love Pocahontas and I still love the songs.

I still love the visuals, the animation, but I don't know.

I mean, that was just that's what I loved to do.

I would sit in my room and watch Pocahontas specifically on repeat and just sing Colors of the Wind.

And I did I did a bunch of like talent shows when I was a kid and I always did that song over and over.

You eventually became the only student in your district to earn a spot in a regional, that acapella choir.

It's got a couple good songs.

Colors of the Wind.

Visually Beautiful.

The animation is stunning.

That is nothing to say for, I am sure, the incredibly lucrative merchandising, video game tie-in, et cetera, that they were also running.

Now, Pocahontas took a page from the Lion King playbook.

They used Colors of the Wind as a standalone trailer during screenings for The Lion King.

The Lion King did continue the run of musical Oscars, snagging Best Original Song for...

So when my sister got to the audition, my mom called my dad and was like, there's kids here! Drink Lexi! So my dad, I was so excited.

My dad put me in the car and I sang Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas, which...

Yeah, I think it's a beautiful Disney song that still aligns with my principles today.

So it was just such an exciting time.

Sure

... that, in the song, it's, uh, Colors of the Wind, she says that.

I-

"Can never step in the same river twice." Dun-dun-dun-dun.

I think Pocahontas has better music.

I think Colors of the Wind was certainly the bigger hit, the biggest hit of any of the movies.

of the songs in either of these movies.

Um, and I think it speaks to the quality of music and the score that is present in Pocahontas.

That is not as present in Hercules.

I will say in Hercules, um, I do really like the song, go the distance.

Um, that is you that's, um, I I'm a little partial to that just because it's utilized very frequently in, uh, we're a big Disney family and they use that one in the firework shows a lot and it can be really powerful how they use it in the firework shows but as it appears in the movie and as it works in the movie I think Colors of the Wind and just generally the musical score is stronger in Pocahontas and Well, on a week-by-week basis, I wouldn't necessarily use that as one of my main points.

For animated films, the music is such an important aspect of it that I'm going to use it as one of my points tonight.

It's almost as if you're expected to be immensely serious, um, 100% of the time.

And I actually, for fun, was singing Colors of the Wind, Pocahontas song, little Disney thing on my per-

I love that song

... and I literally said on my little personal Ree page, I said, "The environment, the message that this song has about loving the earth that we have, should be listened to by everybody." And do you know what, Ella? I got lovely messages, but also I got trolled by people saying that I'm bringing up political situations in the world, and I'm just singing a blooming Disney song.

Mm-hmm

... kind of in the chandelier is very much in the Colors of the Wind type of, um, spirit.

And just beyond the lobby, guests will find Branch and Brush, a new lounge offering handcrafted cocktails and views of Bay Lake.

Inspired by the beauty of the changing season- seasons, the space will feature rich colors, natural textures, and an enchanting collection of artwork, and a color-changing chandelier that will bring all four seasons to life that I have to say, Donna, based on the concept art, I think is very, very pretty.
