Aca Top 10: Disney Sidekicks — VoicePlay music video

Triumph often requires teamwork. Disney heroes take big risks and achieve great things, but they wouldn't get very far without their trusty sidekicks. Whether they're providing a pep talk, sage advice, or a simple moment of comic relief, those supporting characters are among the most cherished by fans. So grab a buddy and enjoy this medley of feel-good songs.

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Disney Sidekicks

original songs / performers: [0:20] "When You Wish Upon a Star" by Cliff Edwards as Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio (1940); [0:34] "Be Our Guest" by Jerry Orbach as Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast (1991); [0:52] "Heigh-Ho" by the cast of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937); [1:02] "Hakuna Matata" by Nathan Lane as Timon, Ernie Sabella as Pumba, & Jason Weaver as Simba in The Lion King (1994); [1:14] "Bare Necessities" by Phil Harris as Baloo & Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli in The Jungle Book (1967); [1:33] "Under the Sea" by Samuel Wright as Sebastian in The Little Mermaid (1989); [1:52] "In Summer" by Josh Gad as Olaf in Frozen (2013); [2:22] "Chim Chim Cher-ee" by Dick Van Dyke as Burt in Mary Poppins (1964); [2:41] "You're Welcome" by Dwayne Johnson as Maui in Moana (2016); [3:01] "Friend Like Me" by Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin (1992)

written by: "When You Wish Upon a Star" by Leigh Harline & Ned Washington; "Be Our Guest" by Howard Ashman & Alan Menken; "Heigh-Ho" by Frank Churchill & Larry Morey; "Hakuna Matata" by Elton John & Tim Rice; "Bare Necessities" by Terry Gilkyson; "Under the Sea" by Alan Menken & Howard Ashman; "In Summer" by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez; "Chim Chim Cher-ee" by Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman; "You're Welcome" by Lin-Manuel Miranda; "Friend Like Me" by Howard Ashman & Alan Menken

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci, Eli Jacobson, & Layne Stein

release date: 10 August 2018

My favorite bits:

Geoff's intro narration, and the other guys' reactions

the rising harmonies on ♫ "they will come to" ♫

giving "Heigh-Ho" a little "Hip Hop Hooray" flavor

J.None taking over the bass line while Geoff sings lead for "Bare Necessities"

Eli and Earl singing ♫ "settle down now" ♫ instead of "rest at ease" with two different connotations — Eli: "Take a nice break." Earl: "Calm down, dude."

J's saucy little ♫ "Uh oh!" ♫ in "Under the Sea"

that pitch perfect Olaf impression from Eli ☃️

🥕 ♫ "a-buh-buh-buh Mountain Dew" ♫ 🥕

Layne's michievous expression after Geoff swipes his carrot

the back row swaying in time to "Chim Chim Cher-ee"

Earl's affronted expression when J starts singing Maui's part

those horn hits from Eli and Earl 🎺

Layne retaliating for the carrot theft by recreating the Genie's raspberry toward Geoff

Trivia:

○ VoicePlay had previously recorded several of the songs included in this medley, mostly on their Disney-centric album, "Once Upon an Ever After".

"When You Wish Upon a Star" is the second-to-last track on "OUaEA", and moseys through several fun rhythmic variations.

"Be Our Guest" is the opening segment of their Beauty and the Beast medley, Tale As Old As Time. They also made a short video for it, which was one of the earliest on their YouTube channel.

"Hakuna Matata" is part of The King Has Returned, a Lion King medley.

"Friend Like Me" is the closing portion of their Aladdin medley, Diamond in the Rough. It's also the first non-promotional video on the VoicePlay YouTube channel after their name change.

"You're Welcome" was included in their "Moana medley" with Rachel Potter the year before.

○ Since this video was released, the guys have recorded newer versions of a few more songs.

An excerpt of "Under the Sea" was included in their "Little Mermaid medley" with Rachel Potter.

They got back to their roots for a barbershop tag of "When You Wish Upon a Star" in the summer of 2023.

Geoff made a multi-tracked version of "Bare Necessities" as the first music video on his personal channels in 2020.

○ The YouTube description asserts that "No carrots were harmed in the making of this video. Except that one. That one was hurt over and over and over and over…" 😆

○ The guys are once again all wearing thematically appropriate shirts.

Eli — Timon the meerkat from The Lion King with his hands on his hips, in front of a white striped circle with a teal border and "nope" in teal letters beneath

Earl — silhouette of Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy composed of the words "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all" in blue text with his crest in red

J.None — tall white letters reading "lit" with a gold outline of Lumiere the candelabra from Beauty and the Beast striking a dramatic pose

Geoff — Olaf the snowman from Frozen floating in a lake with "chillin'" in white letters beneath

Layne — classic Mickey Mouse and Pluto posing together, with Mickey's arm around Pluto's shoulders

○ This is the second in a mini-series within their "Aca Top 10" series, which was preceded by "Disney Heroes" the previous autumn, and followed by "Disney Villains" the next spring.

○ Geoff, Earl, & J.None's selfie posing was caught on video & posted to Twitter.

○ The guys also took individual selfies with their pal Rek who was doing production work behind the scenes.

○ The inclusion of Olaf's song resulted in many carrot-based shenanigans during the filming. Little did they know it would be the beginning of a running joke that persists to this day, particularly when J comes back to town.
