"Lavender's Blue," (perhaps sometimes called "Lavender Blue,") is an English folk song and nursery rhyme dating to the 17th century, which has been recorded in various forms since the 20th century.
A hit version of the song, sung by Burl Ives, was featured in the Walt Disneymovie, So Dear to My Heart (1948) and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. It was Ives' first hit song and renewed the song's popularity in the 20th century. Other hit versions of the song were recorded by Sammy Kaye and Dinah Shore. In 1955, Jazz pianist Jack Pleis recorded it for his album, Music from Disneyland.

more about the music concert "Disney Pianolicious",
As every child knows, if you say the word loudly enough, you'll always sound precocious.
Few neologisms have become so ingrained in the language and elicit such affection.
It was introduced into the Mary Poppins story by American composers Robert and Richard Sherman when they adapted the PL Travers book for the big screen.
In the 1964 musical film, starring Julie Andrews, the nanny with magical powers wins an unorthodox race - on merry-go-round horses - and is surrounded by reporters who say she must be lost for words.
"It's something to say when you don't know what to say,"
says one of the two children, Jane.
So in the film, the word has no meaning,
although it acts as a powerful keepsake from the children's magical adventure.
"The Married Life" is undoubtedly one of the most powerful scenes in the movie Pixar's UP. These are real life issues that are being addressed in this film. They tug at your heartstrings and in the same instance this is very much a film that can be appreciated by all ages.
It's among the most memorable -- and moving -- sequences in Pixar's new animated movie "Up": a four-minute, dialogue-free montage early in the film that traces the entire relationship between Carl Fredricksen and his wife, Ellie.
In encapsulating the couple's life together, the flashback sequence -- which Times film critic Kenneth Turan called "a small gem that will stay with you for a lifetime" -- includes a few issues rarely raised in a movie aimed at families, including a miscarriage, the failing health of the elderly, even death and bereavement.
Watch out to not see it in 3D! TOTALLY ruined the 3D effect, as you will suddenly have tears trapped in TWO sets of glasses. That montage alone is one of the most heartwarming scenes ever made and because of it, this movies deserves not just best animated film, but best picture, best original screenplay, best original score. That element really made it hit, how quickly life passes by.
You can run any of these pictures and they'd be dragging and boring,
but the minute you put music behind them, they have life and vitality.
they don't get any other way"
- Walt Disney -
Walt Disney didn't read or write music. In fact, he never even played an instrument. And yet. his influence upon music was, and continues to be, so profound that the great American composer Jerome Kern was moved to say, "Disney has made use of music as language. In the synchronization of humorous episodes with humorous music, he has unquestionably given us the outstanding contribution of our time."
Still, the question remains:
"If Walt didn't write any songs or compose any scores,
how could he have had such a deep and lasting impact on music?"
The answer, simple enough, is the same way in which he had such a profound effect upon animation without so much as drawing even one mouse or dwarf.
Walt was the mover and shaker, the man of vision who gathered around him some of the most talented writers, artists, composers, and musicians, who bought into his dreams and schemes and made them happen, all under his watchful eye.
In a world full of both live action and animated shorts, PAPERMAN is sweet and a breath of fresh love. The visuals stun and the cutting edge CGI with animation overlayed on the top with the music make it...well, simply gorgeous. It utilizes both 3D and 2D animation in a bold and beautiful way to tell the story of a guy trying to get the attention of the woman of his dreams. The result is a magical little tale that proves that even in the cold, crushing world of modern New York magic can flourish.

In 1929 composer Carl Stalling suggested an idea for a new cartoon series to Walt Disney, not based on a central character but on music. Walt seeing the potential of the idea jumped on it, and the Silly Symphonies were born. That were, according to the Walt Disney Family Museum, “more daring, quirkier and more diverse” than anything in the Mickey Mouse series.
Silly Symphonies was a series of animated short films produced by Walt Disney Productions from 1929 to 1939. The original basis of the cartoons was musical novelty.
The series is mostly remembered as being a platform that Disney used to experiment with different processes, techniques, characters, stories and technologies for which the then-fledgling company could use to refine and perfect its animation style in order to further the art of animation; making the series a key part in aiding Walt Disney's efforts to expand into feature-length animated films.
Among the innovations developed and/or improved upon in the series are Technicolor (full-color) film making, true and believable character animation, special effects animation, and dramatic storytelling in animation.A total of 75 shorts were made between 1929 and 1939 while the studio was located at Hyperion Avenue in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles.
Walt Disney once said,
“If I can help provide a place to develop the talent of the future, I think I will have accomplished something.”
