brave || a judy hopps mix [listen here]
1. Affirmation by Savage Garden
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality I believe that trust is more important than monogamy I believe that your most attractive features are your heart and soul I believe that family is worth more than money or gold I believe the struggle for financial freedom isn't fair I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
Because it’s a tune, and because it speaks to Judy’s idealism as well as her ideology.
2. Try Everything by Shakira
I won't give up, no, I won't give in ‘Til I reach the end And then I'll start again No, I won’t leave I wanna try everything I wanna try even though I could fail
Because both the lyrics and the upbeat tempo perfectly capture Judy’s spirit and relentless optimism. And because I don’t care if it’s cheating to use the soundtrack of the movie.
3. Never Give Up by Sia
And I won't let you get me down I'll keep gettin' up when I hit the ground Oh, I’ll never give up, no, I’ll never give up, no
Because Judy doesn’t give up and she definitely doesn’t know when to quit. People have told her ‘no’ her entire life, to the point where she has gotten used to doing things even if nobody thinks that she can. When people don’t believe in her, she is the kind of person who does everything in their power to prove them wrong. (As opposed to the kind of person who does everything in their power to prove them right. Looking at you, Nick.)
4. Fight Song by Rachel Platten
Like a small boat on the ocean Sending big waves into motion Like how a single word can make a heart open I might only have one match but I can make an explosion
Because there are seven billion, forty-seven million people on the planet, and she has the audacity to think she matters (thank you Watsky for that endlessly quotable quote). Because she became a police officer to make a difference and to make the world a better place and that is exactly what she intends to do. No matter how hard she has to work to do it.
5. Brave by Sara Bareilles
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is
Because it’s what she tries to tell Nick every single day, sometimes with her words, but mostly with her actions. She doesn’t care about what’s happened in the past. She believes in him, and she believes that he can be so much more than what he’s settled for.
