Cassandra had a cut Lady in Waiting song? I have literally never heard of this. What episode was it supposed to be in?
It was instead of "Waiting In the Wings", it was called "Lady In Waiting," and Glenn Slater posted the lyrics to it on Tangled's 10th anniversary:

For Fun: Here's My Favorite Disney Songs That Were Deleted/Changed In The Final Film (Part 5)
Eventually, the Disney executives decided the film wasn't working, and called for a complete retool. Roger Allers left, leaving Cats Don't Dance director Mark Dindal as the sole director on the film. The film became a buddy comedy, road-trip Looney Tunes-esque film set in ancient Peru, known as Kingdom in the Sun, later known by release as The Emperor's New Groove. All of Sting and David Hartley's songs were cut, but they stayed on to write "Perfect World", Kuzco's theme for the beginning and end of the film, and "My Funny Friend and Me' which is the end credits song. However, at one point, Yzma was going to have her own reprise of "Perfect World". About halfway through the film, after Kuzco's fake funeral would've been when this reprise would've taken place. (The fact that Eartha Kitt does not sing in the final film at all is the biggest problem of Emperor's New Groove)
(If you do get the chance, check out the documentary "The Sweatbox" on Internet Archive. It documents the crazy development of this film, and Disney intentionally tried to bury it as it made their execs look bad. It's very interesting, so give it a watch!)
Tangled and Frozen were both in development for a significantly long time for Disney movie standards. Back when Tangled was called Rapunzel, songwriter Chris Curtis wrote these two songs based on an early draft: "All That I've Done for You" and "Are There Girls In The World Like Me?"
For the final film, there was a cut reprise of "When Will My Life Begin" and "Mother Knows Best" was also longer initially.
Alan Menken wrote an early song for Frozen called "Love Can't Be Denied" back when the film was called The Snow Queen
Finally, my personal favorite cut song from Frozen by the Lopez's is "Life's Too Short" which was replaced by the "First Time in Forever" reprise in the final film. I like how the sibling energy feels between Anna and Elsa here.
That's all the songs I'm gonna cover here, but there are plenty more. Alice in Wonderland had like two movie's worth of cut songs to go through. But thank you for indulging in my wordy nerd posts!

Mucche alla riscossa
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo ripreso a parlare di animazione, continuando con la nostra lunga maratona Disney e arrivando a recensire il loro 44° classico ossia Koda, fratello orso. La storia è ambientata in Alaska, ai tempi dei mammut, dove Kenai, un ragazzo di 16 anni, è pronto al rito di passaggio per diventare adulto, dove la sciamanna del villaggio…

Love Never Dies (2012)
My rating: 3/10
I mean, I'm not that into Webber's original Phantom, but even I can realize that this is a) a massive insult to the fans b) musically speaking utter dogshit and c) Webber showing his whole entire ass by retconning it so the beautiful woman was in love with the creepy looking songwriter with boundary issues all along. Yikes.

Beyond all of the flaws that viewers and critics have already commented on, Velma just isn’t funny. The jokes don’t land, and probably 90% of the jokes are niche insults to very specific groups of people. I watched both episodes all of the way through, and I only laughed once (at the way Glenn Howerton says “Bathies!”).
I’d say that at its core, this show doesn’t work because the writers and creators very clearly resent Scooby Doo, and probably all animation. IP only works if the person making the IP has a respect and love for the original.
SBTB is a great example, because even though it was a parody and satire that heavily critiqued, teased, and called out the original show, there was an underlying love there. The show gave Slater and Jessie another shot at love while also having them grow individually in their respective arcs. Kelly decided to go to med school. Zack confronted his flaws and changed to support Mac. Screech got a beautiful tribute. And Lisa, although she deserved more screen time, was shown to be successful and living well.
Fans are smart. We pay attention to the little details and catch onto the nuances. We can tell if the people making the IP resent and disregard the original material, if they ever even watched it at all. And Velma is about as subtle as a chainsaw to the head.

Where the lyrics for the deleted duet for Varian and Quirin "i'm gonna show you"? Every released?
No they weren't. I don't want to say that Glenn Slater is ashamed of them, because I'm not in his head, but he seemed quick to assure us that "Let Me Make You Proud" is a better song and leave it at that.
