Robin Williams' uncanny energy really comes through in this song. Casting is everything.
The fact that so many theatre kids (current and recovering) break out in this song is a testament to its greatness. ...aw, hell, they also break out into Rent songs, that doesn't mean anything. But this is a great feminist anthem of a girl becoming a woman, and smashing through her socially inculcated pressure to always be kind and agreeable.
I love the sequence where she's simultaneously creating and running up a frozen staircase. Badass!
Picking just one Lion King song is no easy task. This one is the most popular. I kinda prefer its Book of Mormon spoof, though.
There are more, but I won't suck up all the oxygen in the room.
