[Disney movie] A thorough examination of the lyrics of “When You Wish Upon a Star,” the famous theme song for Pinocchio!
“Pinocchio” theme song “When You Wish Upon a Star”
Pinocchio is a Disney animated film produced in 1940.
At the time, “Snow White” was a big hit, and while there were high expectations for the next movie, Walt Disney began work on “Pinocchio,” an adventure story different from the previous one.
The original story of Pinocchio is the fairy tale “The Adventures of Pinocchio” by Carlo Collodi, but Disney seems to have had a lot of trouble finishing this story in a Disney style.

It actually took two years to release the film, and even though it was released at a huge cost, it was not as successful as Snow White, and Disney fell into financial difficulties.
Meanwhile, “When You Wish Upon a Star”, which was used as the theme song, won an Academy Award and is still loved by many people.
“Wish Upon a Star”
Lee Harline composed the beautiful melody line “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
He was Walt Disney’s exclusive composer at the time, and his works included songs from the movie “Pinocchio” as well as “Snow White.”
Among them, “When You Wish Upon a Star” was Harline’s biggest hit, so much so that when you think of When You Wish Upon a Star, it’s Harline.
Ned Washington wrote the lyrics for “When You Wish Upon a Star,” the original title of “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
Washington was a hit maker at the time, winning 11 Academy Awards.
This song, written by these two, has earned the name of a masterpiece.
The famous song “When You Wish Upon a Star” is sung by Jiminy Cricket, the cricket in the movie.
Cricket was Pinocchio’s conscience and had a beautiful voice.
Therefore, “Cliff Edwards”, who was appointed as a cricket performer, will actually sing.
English edition 「When You Wish upon a Star」
The original title of “When You Wish upon a Star” is “When You Wish upon a Star.”
Literally translated, “When you wish for something from the stars.”
The lyrics are like when you make a wish to a star…
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
When you wish on a star
it doesn’t matter who you are
Whatever your heart desires will surely come true.
If you make a wish to a star in the sky, it should come true.
And the important thing here is that anyone can make a wish, regardless of their status or current condition.
I guess he’s saying that if you wish hard enough, there’s nothing you can’t achieve.
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star like as dreamers do
If you have your dreams in your heart
There’s no need to do anything big
All you have to do is make a wish on a star, like people who chase their dreams do.
It’s not easy to make your dreams come true, but sometimes you may be at a loss as to what to do.
Even in times like these, if you don’t forget your strong wishes, I’m sure the stars will guide you.
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
fate is kind
fate gives us what we love
Gently makes what you secretly long for come true.
The stronger the desire, the more likely the wish will come true.
There may be times when you feel like giving up, but fate will always look at you kindly and guide you.
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Fate comes suddenly like lightning in the blue sky.
When you wish upon a star, your wish will surely come true.
It’s like a lightning bolt. If you always wish for your dreams strongly, they will come true before you know it.

I wonder how Disney could make such a charming and heartwarming song,” and “There are impurities in the lyrics.” “No…it’s so transparent and beautiful”, “I think it’s the only song that brings adults back to their child’s hearts!”, “A gentle song…it makes you feel like you’re floating in a wonderful story”,
It is full of rave reviews.
Along with its soothing melody, it is loved all over the world as a classic Disney song.
