Having artists like Billy Joel, Huey Lewis, and even Bette Midler, really brought the music to life. This movie has one of my favorite Disney soundtracks, which is not conventional, but as a fan of rock n’ roll, it was great to see a film in their catalogue that grabbed that kind of music and used it to its advantage. ![]() One of the things that always struck me about the film was not only the wonderful animation, was the music.

One of the reasons I rated This Poison Heart so highly was because of the incredible ending. Every image was like a little painting in my mind. ![]() The descriptions of the flowers blooming and flowing as Bri commands, the intoxicating poisons, the rich greenery and the overgrown gardens.
