Day 25 Results:

Round 3, Division 1

(1) Belle (Beauty and the Beast) --VS -- (8) Be Prepared (The Lion King) - 12-13
The book that Belle was reading (which the sheep briefly bites a page off) is implied from her description to be Sleeping Beauty, which was later confirmed in the New Fantasyland attraction version of Belle's Cottage, which shows both the original book Belle's mom read to her as a child (explaining why it was her favorite) and the book that she acquired from the bookkeeper.

(12) Reflection (Mulan) --VS -- (20) Poor Unfortunate Souls (The Little Mermaid) - 9-14
The movie Mulan is often credited with launching the career of Christina Aguilera, whose first song to be released in the US was the film's song "Reflection". The song was so well received that it landed her a recording contract with RCA Records.

(6) A Whole New World (Aladdin) --VS-- (19) Friends on the Other Side (Princess and the Frog) - 22-3
Friends on the Other Side is similar to Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid, as both songs explain the villain's abilities and serve as a way to get their victim to trust them and both numbers end in the villain's victim being transformed as part of their plan.

(2) Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) --VS-- (7) Surface Pressure (Encanto) - 16-9
In Surface Pressure, one of Luisa's verses, "I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is", actually further exposes her insecurities. The Earth's crust is actually its weakest layer, which alludes that as strong Luisa is, she actually has sensitive feelings.

**TIEBREAKER**
(7) How Far I'll Go (Moana) --VS-- (23) Can You Feel the Love Tonight (The Lion King) - 11-13 (11-11)
Alan Menken, the heart and soul behind Disney animated music, did not work on The Lion King at all, easily Disneys most successful Renaissance film and soundtrack. The reason for this is because he was working on Pocahontas, which was projected by Disney to be the more profitable movie of the two.
