ATTENTION FANS OF BOTH PIXAR AND CLASSIC DISNEY
I was inspired by this incredible Disney song collaboration
Sorry if it’s hard to understand! It’s not exactly a fanfic…more like a…well, I don’t really know what to call it. A songfic? Each lyrical fragment comes with a short thought on a Pixar film perspective.
Just an idea I had. You know I would make this into an MV if I could, but I already have too many ideas in my head already that haven’t been turned to reality.
So, anyway, hope you enjoy!
I don’t know if you can hear me, or if you’re even there
Jessie didn’t know if a toy’s prayer even mattered, no one would stop and listen, right? Would her wish for just one more sincere playtime come true? Or would it even be taken for consideration at all?
I don’t know if you would listen to a gypsy’s prayer
Who cared about circus bugs anyway? To people, they were nothing. To other bugs, they were entertainers, nothing more. and they were even failures at that. Now no doubt they’d be separated for the first time…in hopes of a good living…
Yes, I know I’m just an outcast; I shouldn’t speak to you.
Remy was just like other rats. Outsiders, vermin, invaders. Filthy creatures on the street and hidden in houses. They seemed not worthy of anything or for anyone to feel the slightest bit sorry for.
Still I see your face and wonder: were You once and outcast, too?
But perhaps the greatest heroes and most successful people out there were once…ridiculed and left out as well. Even Gusteau may have been an underdog once.
Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?
WALL-E showed EVE his treasures and trinkets for amusement. Why would people throw away such amazing stuff? Awesome collection, wasn’t it?
Wouldn’t you think I’m a girl- the girl who has: everything?
Boo giggled as she showed Sully aka Kitty her beloved little playthings. They were the many highlights of her room- the many enjoyable things that made the bedroom like a cave of wonders.
I’ve got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
Flik came up with perhaps infinity ideas.
I’ve got whozits and whatzits galore
WALL-E gathered all thes
e interesting objects to look through again
You want thingymabobs- I got twenty
Andy had armies- colonies of toys. They were what made the room more of a reflection of himself: unique in many ways.
But who cares? No big deal.
Violet scoffed. Superpowers weren’t that great. Why were they so important?
I want more…
Sally had never felt happy in the high-class, rich, spoiled life. That’s why she drove away.
I wanna be where the people are
Remy doubted people would ever let him in willingly…ever. Being in the paradise of a kitchen was a miracle itself, but it was nothing compared to hid dream of being accepted. Impossible, right?
I wanna see, wanna see ‘em dancin’
Watching the video, WALL-E wondered if dancing was just for people. Well it looked rather fun and easy enough. Why not give it a shot?..Dancing indeed was a good feeling! But he did it a little differently than people…
Walking around on those- what do you call them?- feet
EVE was impressed by the dancing. She liked it herself, too. But there was something missing…they could never move the way people did because there was something missing…
Flippin’ your fins you don’t get too far
Fish in the ocean had limitless freedom. But Marlin never took the chance. Fish couldn’t possibly make it that far, he thought.
Legs are required for jumpin’, dancin’
Hey, at least WALL-E had the mood and the energy. Wasn’t that enough?
Strolling along down that- what’s that word again?- street
Lightning was fascinated and astounded by what he saw in the natural beauty on the drive with Sally. If he had slowed down more often in his life, and stopped to smell the flowers, the world would have been more than just a rush and a race to him.
Up where they walk, up where they run
WALL-E sighed sadly thinking of how he was alone on Earth. The people were probably having a blast up there in space while he just stayed here with a boring routine of compacting trash.
Up where they stay all day in the sun
All Dash wanted really was to use his powers without getting into trouble. But this adventure…a real, actual adventure, was a fantastic experience. All the liberty in the world to run as fast as he could…if he could, he would do that again and again, even on summer days.
Wanderin’ free,
Wish I could be…
Boo remembered all the exciting fun she had while exploring Monstropolis. If all this was just behind a closet door, who knew what other magnificent places there were, closer than she thought? She opened the door, expecting Kitty. But all there was now were clothes. Where they had gone, she didn’t know. She just wanted to see them again.
Part of that world
Jessie wanted to be part of a family again. The world where everything was all happiness and where she knew no loneliness, no painful memories, no depression or greif. Just pure joy of being part of a family again.
A whole new world
As Remy climbed atop the roof of the restaurant, he gasped in amazement at the spectaculer view. If only the other rats could see this!
A wondrous place I never knew
At first the very mention of leaving the island was just crazy talk. Atta knew that. When Flik said it, the first reaction was automatically shock. But now that he left, she wondered if maybe he was actually the lucky one. She had never been outside the island. She suddenly wanted to know what it was like…out there.
But now from way up here, it’s crystal clear
Dory must have been having the time of her life on this cross-ocean adventure. Marlin had no idea he would even make it this far. If he just lightened up a little bit, then he could actually enjoy this, too.
That now I’m in a whole new world with you
The robot couple had the most outstanding time dancing in space together. They felt so carefree. EVE felt that emotion- what was it called again?- happiness, no, something deeper than that- what?- love. Not the love of where they were dancing but who she was dancing with.
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
They were supposed to feel panic. After all, there was a high chance that they could die any second. Dash did feel fear. But deep down he was also overjoyed. He felt a very slight bit of uncertain confidence, but over that, in his heart, he felt free.
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Why didn’t Emile like it that much? To Remy, the sweet taste of food like this was like it was delivered from heaven. He savored the terrific sensation on his tastebuds. He heard the Hallelujah chorus ring in his head. How could anyone miss this? How could anyone take it for granted?
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth
EVE was only here to get that plant, then leave. To complete her mission. To do her directive. But if she kept herself focused on only her directive, there was so much she would miss! Would there ever be a time when she looked at life and its wealth, and didn’t think of directive?
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The ants of Ant Island have learned to live with nature. To deal with its storms and to receive gifts from its produce. Nature was like a close neighbor that they had to live with.
The heron and the otter are my friends
For a pelican to be aquainted with fish- who had ever heard of such a thing? But Nigel wasn’t ashamed of it. He liked himself for that. Eat some, meet some- that was his style.
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Didn’t humans realize that rats weren’t all that they seemed? Remy thought they would never learn. He considered himself their equal, but they acted like he didn’t exist for good.
How high does the sycamore grow?
Dot remembered Flik’s analogy. The tree was high and rich, but everything to make that humungous tree was already containted in a miniscule seed.
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
For a little, silent second, Lightning McQueen had a thought come out of the corner of his mind. Before this racetrack was a racetrack…what lived here? What used to roam here and prosper here? What did the world look like before all this was built?
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Out in the country, where there was less city noise, they could hear more of wilderness’s cries and songs. Where the world was more content and people could think more about the environment and its creatures, reflect on themselves more, than spend time thinking mostly about business. About fame and fortune, about how things were never good enough. There were some places in the world where peace was a part of everyday life. Lightning was becoming one of them, yes, partially. But he liked this feeling.
For whether we are white or copper skinned,
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Kids had more imagination, usually. So, through a child’s eyes, the world was astounding. They played throughout the day and dreamed throughout the night. How many adults, one would wonder, would remember that feeling? How many would wish to return to that state, where everything was awesome and every day was fresh, where everything was a wonder, and where life was carefree and free of some troubles? And superheroes did something with their lives, of course! But even they, probably even just once, must have felt the same kind of wistfulness at one time or another, when they had time to themselves. When their superpowers weren’t meant to put them under pressure of saving the world, but instead were just like a lifelong toy. A special, inner, lifelong toy.
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Toys were like children all their lives. They lived with children, so sometimes they got so close to their owners that they even felt like they experienced their lives. Did it ever get old? No. Such a life made them like little guardian angels. They had the most respect for the extraordinary imagination of children, as well as how the children didn’t take each day for granted.
If there’s a prize for rotton judgement, I guess I’ve already won that
Atta thought she was already nervous enough, with being queen soon and all, and with Hopper in the ants’ way. But now she felt a new thing bothering her. Flik. He was taking over her mind, day by day. How could this be? She hated to admit it, but she was in love.
No man is worth the aggravation
Colette couldn’t sleep at night. She couldn’t relax her mind. She was shocked the whole day through. Every time the shock dissolved into a sort of soothingness, she snapped herself back to freaking out. How could she ever fall for a man? Especially a man like Linguini. Was that kiss totally uncalled for…or was it a message that he was the one? No, get a grip! she scolded herself. Thinking of him as her love was just…just…not right.
It’s ancient history, been there, done that!
EVE shook the feeling out. She locked the growing crush out of her mind. Love wasn’t in her programming. Romance was for humans, not her. She couldn’t love WALL-E…or could she? No, she decided. It wasn’t meant to be.
Who’d ya think you’re kiddin’? He’s the earth and heaven to you.
With a man as proud as Mr. Incredible himself, how could Elastigirl even dare to fall in love with him? Because he was actually very honorable and, well, incredible. And to save the world together, nothing could go wrong…
Try to keep it hidden; Honey, we can see right through you
One good thing about being invisible, personality-wise and literally, was that there weren’t any rumors going around about her. Violet’s thoughts were top-secret, kept safely in her head, only let out if she wanted to. But it was growing strangely obvious that she liked Tony. It was a crush, but if she was willing to make her move, it would become more than that.
Face it like a grown-up, when ya gonna own up that you got it bad?
Sally realized that the feeling of love was creeping up on her. Shot by Cupid’s arrow, but she still was capable of thinking for herself. At least she could be mature about this. Their relationship didn’t have to come so rapidly. They could take this little by little. But it was kinda unexpected- she was in love. This time not the kind of love like one would love a landscape view, but real love.
No-o-o-o-o, No chance, no way
I won’t say it, no, no
Celia couldn’t forgive him. She couldn’t ever get over how Mike had left her behind in the restaurant, while it was being consumed in disaster. What kind of a boyfriend would do that? And on her birthday, too! She would never ever love him again. But why did she feel the urge pulling her to still come back to him? Even as he avoiding her, now? How could she not forget it. She still felt anger, but she felt was if the anger would one day wear off. Why?
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, uh-oh
When Woody first won Bo Peep, she had thought it was just pretending, for Andy’s sake. But even as Andy wasn’t around, Woody was her hero. When she first realized it, when it first hit her, she couldn’t admit it to herself. Uneasiness swiveled around her emotions.
It’s too cliche
Colette tried to tell herself, love was overrated. But she didn’t quite convince herself.
I won’t say I’m in love.
EVE couldn’t believe what was happening to her. Love wasn’t possible, at least not for them, right? That’s what she used to believe.
No-o-o-o-o-o-o…
Atta felt a certain level of happiness. A certain level of strangeness. Of shyness around this guy. Of mind-defying feelings. Of compassion, of pity, of defeat, of struggle inside herself, of pain, and when she stopped trying to deny her feelings, a renewed amount of…joy, around Flik, was created. Of being glad to be around him, of appreciation that he was there, of being grateful for him. Oh, and don’t forget that kiss…This mixture must be love. So this is love…it’s odd, but wonderful.
When’s it my turn? Wouldn’t I love…?
Remy wondered when he would ever get the oppurtunity to follow his dream. Never, his peers told him. Somehow, he would, his mind persisted. Someday, it’ll happen, his heart knew. And he was right.
…Love to explore the shore up above?
Nemo wanted to go out into the sea. To stretch the boundaries and bend his father’s rules. To prove himself to his dad. To have more fun. To explore the wonders of all there was underwater. To do more in his life, outside of the anenome. Staying in the safety of an anemone all the time was boring- it was equal to the feeling of being trapped in a box.
Out of the sea
Violet wanted to escape the sea of low self-esteem and depression that flooded her life. She wanted to breakaway from it. Please, take me away, she thought. Take me away to something different in life- something to shake things up.
Wish I could be…
If only, if only, Jessie sighed to herself. If only she could be loved again. Just once more…like in her memorable, sweet dreams. She felt tearful for having to wake up from them.
Part of that…world…
Don’t all us Pixar fans wish we were part of Pixar’s world?
A whole new world!
As the house was being lifted into the sky by the crowd of balloons, as the impossible was being pursued, a whole new adventure, he could sense it, was about to begin…
(whoa, it took me a lot longer than expected to do this.)
