Disney Princesses Singing in Their Native Languages Will Amaze Your Kids
You won’t believe how beautiful these Disney princess songs sound when performed in their original languages! When we think of Disney princesses, we often imagine enchanting stories, catchy tunes, and a world of merchandise. However, there’s a rich cultural backdrop to these beloved films that many viewers might overlook. That’s why it’s fascinating to hear the classic Disney princess songs sung in the languages of the countries their tales are based in.
YouTube channel Movie Munchies recently shared two videos showcasing Disney princesses singing in English followed by the same song in the language of their respective stories. The results are captivating and provide valuable insights for those unfamiliar with the origins of some of these stories. The first video features songs from Ariel, Mulan, Elsa, and Rapunzel.
While Disney films are primarily presented in English for the American audience, this can sometimes gloss over the cultural significance of each princess’s story. For example, I didn’t realize that “Tangled” is set in Germany or that “The Little Mermaid” takes place in Denmark. Understanding these cultural contexts gives me a fresh perspective on these films and their enchanting settings.
These videos not only offer a delightful cultural experience but also create an educational opportunity for parents and children alike. Elsa singing in her native Norwegian is absolutely breathtaking, and Jasmine’s rendition of “A Whole New World” in Arabic is equally stunning. The original films were crafted to appeal to a broad audience, which means some of the fascinating cultural elements can get lost along the way. Many of these films are inspired by ancient fairy tales that could capture kids’ imaginations even without the Disney touch. Hearing the princesses sing in their native tongues reminds us that behind the commercial success, there’s a complex narrative to explore.
Of course, Disney isn’t likely to release films in their “authentic” languages anytime soon, but these renditions can serve as a fantastic starting point for parents who wish to introduce their child’s favorite princess stories in a more educational light. Kids can still enjoy their beloved Elsa, with the added understanding that she hails from Norway, not Connecticut. Given how deeply children connect with Disney movies, this is a perfect way to sprinkle some culture into their lives while keeping them engaged with their favorite characters.
