If I recall, Casino’s initial reviews went something like “Good, but we’ve seen this before”.  

Which is why this comment from Sharon Stone in the article stood out to me:

It feels like a song that could have been performed by Louis Jordan or Fats Waller.

Damn it, now I think I have something in my eye, excuse me...

Anyone want to attempt a list of songs or instrumental music that could have/should have been here but weren’t? No? Well, here I go anyway, and I’m going to include a few examples that weren’t originally written for Disney but are either now closely associated with the company, or so well used that it almost seems…

Love this song, but nearly every song in this movie kills, so I guess they had to pick one.

This list is actually pretty good. Limiting the number to 40, though, seems a little low, especially considering that many of their musical films contain multiple songs that could have made it. It could also have included some songs written or adapted specifically for the theme parks and TV shows if they allowed more…

Once again, RIP Splash Mountain.

Thank you for this. Something bothered me about Frozen the first time I saw it, and it took me rewatching it with my nieces a few weeks lager to realize that the writers accidentally made Elsa the villain of the movie without realizing it.

I remember exactly what you’re talking about.

RIP, Splash Mountain.

I can’t imagine Disney ever again animating something as bleakly dark as the Pleasure Island sequence.

Pete’s Dragon had at least one really good song.

Watched it last year again for the first time in over 30 years.  I’d forgotten how good the music in that film was.  

OK, there’s at least two scenes from that film that I would really be interested to see how they were rendered in pop-up book format.

It reads like the didn’t grow up with the “Disney Sunday Movie” either.

As a result of my grandparents’ love of yard sales, I got other kids’ Maximillians, VINCENTs and OLD BOBs.  

I guess they can include them because they were financed and distributed by Disney before they bought the company outright.  Disney also had a fairly large amount of production oversight on some of the earlier Pixar movies, before they gave them more creative freedom later.

That’s one of the reasons I tell patients on these medications that they need to make two changes when starting the drug (mostly for diabetes):

Nausea is the main side effect, and that’s actually how the medication works for weight loss, because it forces you to eat less and eat slower.  It doesn’t do anything if people don’t adjust their diet, but it does kind of force them to.
