The music in this video is so incredibly good. Edit: oh.
-
It started as "Who wrote the Disney Channel theme?" and ended as "What sort of legacy should artists leave behind?" And it is beautiful.
-
"This theme song consists of a four-note mnemonic jingle composed by the late Alex Lasarenko, former executive of Tonal Sounds and creative director at Elias Arts.[38][39]" —Wikipedia (Disney Channel article) Thank you, Kevin, for contributing to history.
-
It's so funny that the first female name you tried when looking for G.Owen was Glenda when Glen was the name you needed
-
You know what got me? If you google "who wrote the Disney channel theme?" now, Alex's name comes up in bold at the top of the screen... You did that. You made that happen.
-
My favorite part about all of this is the fact that you’re shedding light on a guy who realistically should have had a documentary made about him.
-
I took a film analysis class in high school and I will never forget what that teacher told us. He said "Remember...everything you see or hear in film or television costed money, time and more importantly effort. Every single thing you hear or see was put there for a reason, find the reason."
-
I got so teary eyed when you spoke to Alex's colleagues and family. What an incredible tribute to his artistry and legacy.
-
Kevin being genuinely flabbergasted at the 9/11 “express yourself” segment was so fucking funny
-
When you found out that kids were being subliminally messaged about how great fish were so that they'd want to see Finding Nemo, I spat my drink out
-
Just asked my Google Home who wrote the theme song and she said the right answer AND called this a documentary! Absolutely incredible work.
-
"Isn't it weird that we don't know who wrote that theme?" "No." lmfao
-
Kansas City native here, just like Kevin Perjurer. The voice on the KMBC station ID at 22:45 is my late father, Drew Dimmel, who was KMBC's announcer as well as anchorman and weatherman, plus the voice of KC International Airport for years, and many other things. Hearing his voice again really made my day! Thanks Mr. Perjurer for using that clip! 🙏
-
Andrea's casual reveal of "yeah, I was sneaking in fish stuff for at LEAST a year and a half before finding Nemo" like it was nothing. FRICKIN MASTERMIND
-
They say that a person dies twice. Once, when their body dies, and twice when their name is spoken for the last time. Thanks to your efforts, Alex Lasarenko lives on.
-
The reveal that we'd been listening to Alex Lasarenko's music the entire time gave me chills.
-
I don’t know if YouTube videos can win an Oscar, but this should be nominated
-
Honestly, as someone who studies archives and recording history, this is a documentary and this is archival work. This is remarkable, not only in its dedication and completeness, but in the fact that it puts a name to someone's work. We have this now. We know who composed this work, we can remember him now. Thank you for this. It's absolutely fantastic.
-
Notice that the music starts right after the short pause following the "The Disney channel theme was created by."? It makes SO MUCH SENSE in retrospect.
-
This is a rare case on YouTube where the 2nd watch through is better than the first. There are so many details I didn't pick up on that play into the themes about legacy as a creator, and not being able to choose what you'll be known for. And the background MUSIC is soooo much more meaningful in the re-watch. So good.
