The Unique Queerness of Howard Ashman’s Songs | Dreamsounds

Howard Ashman’s lyrics have summed up some of the most memorable moments of the Disney Renaissance. Also many of the gayest moments—let me explain.

Sorry, I know I said I would have the Pirates video up next, but it needs more time and research. Since I’ll be on tour at the end of March through April, there will be two vids this month, the second of which will be all about Pirates of the Caribbean’s sound design!

(The “Part of Your World” at the end was filmed by Sam Bellissimo)

My other sources got too big for the YouTube description length limit! I’ll be putting a link below, but, just so those who won’t click it will know, Don Hahn’s film “Waking Sleeping Beauty” played a huge role in both the footage and writing of this video.
