I think it speaks volumes to how bad the live-action Lion King is that they're playing the animated version while Seth and Billy sing.

Keke Palmer doing "Zero to Hero" is Extreme Julia Shit, though.

Idina Menzel and Ben Platt doing "A Whole New World," I am going to cry. Yes, crying.

This special so far is almost a Tribute to Jeffrey Katzenberg's Time at Disney.

What I would give for a "Colors of the Wind" performance. Or even a "What's This?" or "Jack's Lament"

"Beauty and the Beast" is my go-to return-to Oscar performance, Disney wise. Followed, naturally, by Lea Salonga and Brad Kane's "A Whole New World"

The first one of these was certainly better, but I'm a sucker for an hour of Disney songs sung by talented musicians and actors. Big fan.

Ending this thread with this rec: I adore Ben Platt (who did a very good job with "A Whole New World"), I adore Billy Joel, and I adore Ryan Murphy (I know, I know). Platt doing "Vienna," my favorite Joel song, in The Politician finale is everything.
