GISELLE dance. NANCY interrupts.
•Giselle and Robert's eyes meet at the ball much as Cinderella did when she arrived at the ball and locked eyes with Prince Charming.
•The moment and song "So Close" is based on the moment and song, "Beauty and the Beast" from Beauty and the Beast. It is also, like that song sung by an observer of the event, not by any of the participants.
•During "So Close" there is a shot here that is reminiscent of a camera move from the Beauty and the Beast ballroom dancing number.
•Like the film Cinderella, the world disappears and the lovers dance in a world all their own. Walt Disney and his artists had storyboarded a dance in the stars for both Snow White, "Someday My Prince Will Come" and Cinderella, "Dancing in the Clouds". This dance in the magical glitter is an homage to that idea that never made it into those films.

and ROBERT KISS. The OLD HAG shows up and offers APPLE to forget all that has happened. GISELLE bites and falls. LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

What did you do, videotape it? WOOOOO!

[DisneyMom]

AMAZING! I Love all Movie Trivia! THANKS and WOW!

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

I'm gonna hafta copy this out!! I bought DW the "hidden Mickeys" book , and now she wants to find all "hidden" references!!!!

[Big Wallaby]

Wow, I'd been looking for a list like this. I knew it had to be out there somewhere. Much, much appreciated.

[Princess Susi]

I saw a list like this one in a newspaper article about the movie where they interviewed the writer....drcorey, did you see that article? Hmmmmmmm? tell the truth.....Or did you sit with a pen and paper through the whole movie 100 times and *catch* it all? hahaha :hysteria:
Actually though, this is a longer list than the one I saw in our newspaper, tho the article I saw was an AP wire service story about the dude that made the movie. It was a great article.
sues :p:

[BRWombat]

Wow! Awesome list! I spotted many of these, but not all.

And as all-inclusive as this list is, I think I can add one more! In #62, a muzak version of "Beauty & the Beast" is playing in the law office.

[Big Wallaby]

I also distinctly heard "Part of Your World" in the background in the Law Office. So I'll bet every time we saw the lobby, there was a Disney theme playing. I saw Beauty and the Beast in the credits at the end, but didn't actually hear it. Either time. That I saw the movie.

Yes, I've seen it twice now. Liz and I enjoyed it so much, we took someone with us to see it again. Now, I think I am going to have to go again with this list.

[BRWombat]

I note that the list has "Beauty & the Beast" as playing during the TV soap opera, so... now I'm doubting myself. Guess I'll have to go see it again and double-check what I posted above.

drcorey, do you know who wrote the list? It was obviously an insider.
