4th year CSE students continue the project entitled ‘Why Music is so Important in Animation?’ in order to enhance the value of music in animated movies. The main objective of this activity is to analyse the lyrics and discover the moral that songwriters wanted to transmit, why the songs are performed in a specific moment in these movies, and so on. All the songs selected have been award winners and and have been chosen for their valuable messages.
The first instalment this year deals with the song Go the Distance from Disney’s 1997 animated feature film, Hercules. It was written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist David Zippel,
and originally recorded by American actor Roger Bart. American singer-songwriter Michael Bolton recorded a pop version of the song for the film’s end credits.
In the Spanish version, the song is performed by Hercules voice
actor Ricky Martin, as No importa la distancia, both in the movie and in the
credits.
The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original
Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
Let’s listen to what the students say about the importance of this song and the moment in which it is used in the movie.
