Tori Kelly Sings Colors Of The Wind' At Disney's Mickey Mouse 90th Birthday
We are loving this performance of “Colors of the Wind” by Tori Kelly for Disney’s celebration of Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday! The song is a much beloved ballad from the Disney princess film “Pocahontas”.
Tori Kelly did an amazing job performing “Colors of the Wind” for the magical television special “Mickey’s 90th Spectacular”. Before beginning her performance, Tori dedicated the song to our favorite mouse couple, Mickey and Minnie who were seated just offstage. Opening the famous Disney princess song verse with just vocals and an acoustic guitar, Tori’s voice beautifully capture the emotion of the song. As she continued to sing through the piece, Mickey and Minnie got up for a celebratory couple’s dance across the stage floor. For all those Disney lovers out there, it was a truly sweet moment between the Big Cheese and his gal.
On a more serious note, “Colors of the Wind” is a stunning reminder that we are all uniquely and wonderfully made by God and should love and respect one another. What a powerful message for our world and such a fitting song for Tori who has shared in past interviews that she felt pressured to try fitting a music industry mold that wasn’t who God created her to be. We think she’s right where God planned for her to be!
“You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew”
We think this is one of the most beautiful of the Disney princess songs. There is something truly amazing when we take a moment to step back and appreciate the world around us as God’s creation and not a coincidence.
