The Beautiful Briny

The Beautiful Briny

"The Beautiful Briny" is a song written by Robert and Richard Sherman, originally for the Walt Disney film "Mary Poppins", but eventually used instead in the 1971 musical film production "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". David Tomlinson and Angela Lansbury perform the song as a duet under the water, in the lagoon of the Island of Naboombu.

Thematic Placement

With a moment to garner perspective "far from the frenzy of the frantic world above", Browne and Price dance to the music of a 1940s night club orchestra. The orchestra is made up of sea creatures. At one point in the song, possible romance is alluded to. cquote

Two beneath the blue
Could even fall in love...

Other Film Connections

"Under the Sea" from the 1989 musical film "The Little Mermaid" (and which won the Oscar for "Best Song" that year) was thematically inspired by "Beautiful Briny" as both songs are, more or less, about the same thing. [Film Critics Guide to the Galaxy of Musicals]
