This video explores how Disney uses languages in songs throughout several of its movies, including Moana, Frozen, Brother Bear, Lilo and Stitch, and Pocahontas.  

Some things I learned from watching?  

The difficulties of translating songs because of syllable differences between languages

Moana’s We Know The Way seamlessly transitions between Tokelauan and English without changing the melody - something new to Disney 

How songs sung by characters on screen vs. songs sung off screen in native languages can convey culture to an audience

Some songs in Brother Bear were sung in Iñupiat but by a Bulgarian choir 

Nani sings Aloha’Oe to Lilo, a song about farewells written by Queen Lili'uokalani, Hawaii’s last monarch 

A lot of Native American music is sung with vocables:  syllables that don’t have linguistic meaning but are significant as lyrics for music

there’s no reason for this to be a modern AU i was just lazy to look up canon outfit references

personally it’d really do me in if i only had a little sister and two 12 year olds or just my uncle to talk to no matter how much i loved them so i like to think in series sokka and zuko hit it right off after realizing they’re both guys of the same age group, as much as zuko can hit it off with anyone i mean (”that’s rough buddy” first hesitant steps at male bonding)
