Reordered Disney Animated Canon entries chronologically.


** ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' opens with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwnh-sxaBwk "Bells of Notre Dame"]], most of which is all about just how evil Frollo is and how he's the real monster of the story. It's one long MoralEventHorizon in song form. So much so that the backing vocals borrow "Kyrie eleison" and "Dies irae" from liturgical music. "Lord have mercy" and "Day of wrath" indeed...
** ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'' has "Savages", which consists of the British and the Natives each singing about how evil and uncivilized the other side is.
** ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' contains a song about Gaston that's full of backhanded compliments and descriptions that would be insulting if they weren't sung by his fawning followers.
** "Cruella De Vil" from ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''. She apparently doesn't like it very much, given hearing it on the radio in ''Patch's London Adventure'' is enough to make her kick her dashboard until it shuts up. Even the [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians live-action version]] has the song play over the credits, even though there's no in-universe version since Roger got his career changed.
** ''Disney/RobinHood'' has "The Phony King of England", written by Johnny Mercer, of all famous songwriters one otherwise wouldn't associate with Disney. The aforementioned king [[RightBehindMe catches Sir Hiss and the Sheriff of Nottingham singing this song]], and chucks a bottle of wine at the latter, just barely missing him -- but covering him with the contents. Upon being told the whole village is singing it, he says they'll be singing a different tune from now on. "Double the taxes! ''Triple'' the taxes! ''SQUEEZE EVERY LAST DROP'' out of those insolent -- musical -- peasants." Lucky he never heard the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GAnLuzu9jU "Bastard King"]] version, really.

On the other hand, the sequel has "Here We Go, Another Plan", which starts out praising Captain Hook but ends up mocking him at the last line.
