Hail To The Princess Aurora

One of the most amazing things about a Disney soundtrack is it's ability to not only transport you into a world of complete fantasy (possibly a clichéd look at some form of over-analysed escapism) but also to transport you back to a day in your own past, that afternoon you sat indoors when it was raining. Your mother put on one of the recorded Disney films that has been shown on the BBC weeks ago, and you begin, subconsciously to archive the images and melodies which you see, hear and experience. They create entire emotions, which can only be felt through that one scene, or sole piece of music. Every time you hear that tune throughout the rest of your life, it will bring you back to the atmosphere you sensed during that hour and a half when you were only eight years old. This, is the magic of Disney. Unforgettable, never tainted, and always significant, every feature ever seen makes it's mark.
