00:00One of Disney's most iconic songs, one of the most famous songs,
00:04almost got cut from the film two weeks before its release.

00:11When Disney was preparing The Little Mermaid, a test screening was organized.
00:15to gauge public reaction.
00:17While Ariel sings
00:17On the way there, a child drops his bucket of popcorn
00:22and he bends down to pick it up, making noise in the room.
00:25According to Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the president of Disney at that time,
00:28Well, the verdict is immediate.
00:30If the child lost interest during this song, it's because it's too long.
00:33So he is asking for it to be removed.
00:36But Howard Ashman, who wrote the lyrics for Partir là-bas, strongly opposed it.
00:40According to him, this song is the heart of the film.
00:43He explains that she plays exactly the same role as
00:45In The Wizard of Oz.
00:53It shows the viewer what the main character truly dreams about.
00:57Without this song, Ariel is just a curious mermaid
01:00And with her, we immediately understand why she is ready to leave everything behind.
01:04It's the song "I Want" that you find in musicals.
01:07And I've already talked about this in lots of videos.
01:09Ashman eventually convinced the studio.
01:11And today, going there is considered
01:13as one of the greatest Disney songs of all time
01:16and she was even nominated for an Oscar.

01:40In Cars, Radiator Springs is a mix
01:42from several historic towns along the famous Route 66.
01:45The artists have traveled thousands of kilometers
01:48to photograph motels, gas stations
01:50and illuminated signs before recreating the city.
01:53Up there, the teams went to Kanema National Park
01:56in order to study Mount Rorema.
01:58These almost vertical cliffs are a direct source of inspiration.
02:01the famous Paradise Falls from the film.
02:03In Coco, the artists spent several weeks in Mexico,
02:06particularly in the states of Michoacan and Guanajuato.
02:09They photographed streets, markets, cemeteries
02:12and they even met families during the Day of the Dead celebrations
02:15in order to faithfully reproduce the atmosphere in Red Alert.
02:18It's a true tribute to Toronto.
02:20It includes Chinatown and the Sky Dome.
02:22which is now called Rogers Centre
02:24and many streets that are inspired by the city center.
02:27Pixar never copies the city exactly.
02:29They blend several real locations to create a believable universe.
02:32while maintaining a unique identity for each film.
