The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 1974 Academy Awards, where it was performed by Jodie Foster and Johnny Whitaker. We see the two foxes canoodling by moonlight as the gentle song, written by George Bruns and Floyd Huddleston, reminds us of the power of love. “Love” is a bucolic ballad sung by Maid Marian (here voiced by Nancy Adams) to her sweetheart, the charming outlaw Robin Hood, who can be heard humming the melody earlier in the film. There’s even room in the swashbuckling Robin Hood for some romance. We find Aurora on her 16th birthday, singing “Once Upon A Dream” to an audience of animals, unaware that the dashing Prince Phillip has overheard her and is immediately smitten.Ĭlick to load video Love, Robin Hood (1973) After being cursed by the evil fairy Maleficent as a child, Aurora hides in the woods with the three good fairies – Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. The result became one of Disney’s most beloved ballads, sung by Mary Costa as the young princess Aurora. Composer George Burns adapted the timeless melody, and lyricists Sammy Fain and Jack Lawrence sprinkled a little Disney magic on top. The sweeping romance of “Once Upon A Dream” was based on the “Grande Valse Villageoise” (or “The Garland Waltz”), from Tchaikovsky’s 1890 ballet The Sleeping Beauty. Once Upon A Dream, Sleeping Beauty (1959) It’s just one of Lee’s contributions to Lady And The Tramp, the singer-songwriter voiced four characters in total and co-wrote six songs for the film with Sonny Burke.
The song became a firm favorite and made the American Film Institute’s AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Songs list of the top 100 songs in American cinema of the 20th century. What’s more, the song helps the protagonist (Lady) recognize that she might have romantic feelings for the hound (Tramp) in question. This playful and jazzy number, sung with plenty of sass by the great Peggy Lee (in character as a dog named Peg) is a love song with a twist – it’s a tribute to the roguish charms of a former partner.
