Disney Dreamin’ With Glee Alum Matthew Morrison
Glee alumnus Matthew Morrison told People.com that fatherhood is his “greatest role.”
As a dad, I tend to agree. And I thought it was pretty neat to read about Morrison’s unique opportunity.
“When Disney approached me about doing a children’s record, I was so excited to choose songs that reminded me of my childhood and newer Disney songs that I can reimagine,” he told People’s Brianne Tracy. “It has been such a joyous experience.”
Tracy explained:
The album, titled Disney Dreamin with Matthew Morrison, drops Friday and features 10 tracks including renditions of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Cinderella, “A Whole New World” from Aladdin, “You’ll Be in My Heart” from Tarzan and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story.
Also on the album is a mashup of “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” from Song of the South and “The Bare Necessities” from Jungle Book, Morrison’s two favorite movies from his childhood.
And I loved this quote from Morrison to People:
I feel like I don’t know life before fatherhood… there is nothing like this. I feel like my eyes have been completely opened up to this whole new world, not to quote a Disney song.”
