i love re-visiting media from my early childhood and doing analysis using 12th Grade English Skills. The crocodile in Peter Pan that swallowed an alarm clock and follows Captain Hook around, ticking threateningly, serves as an effective metaphor for the inevitability of age and mortality. This metaphor is further strengthened by the fact that Hook and his entourage are the only adults in Neverland, and are cast as the villains in a narrative centered around an unaging child hero who seeks to ‘rescue’ other children from growing up. Hence, as with the better-known folklore character the Grim Reaper, Tick-Tock the Crocodile serves as a personification of Death.
As a PhD in literature and former college instructor in literature: this is a 100% valid reading.
Tina Price’s concept art for the Muses from Disney’s ‘Hercules’
Melpomene
(voiced by Cheryl Freeman) is the muse of tragedy. She has long, curly hair to her waist and carries a mask with a frowning face.
Thalia (voiced by Roz Ryan) is the muse of comedy. She is the shortest of the five, very fat, plays a trumpet, and is often causing mischief.
Calliope (voiced by Lillias White) is the muse of epic poetry. She leads the muses and is the tallest of the five with high hair.
Terpsichore (voiced by LaChanze) is the muse of dance. She is the second-shortest of the five, with bantu knots in the front and loose curls in the back.

Ok ok ok but the whoosh you hear at 1:54 in Satisfied is the ensemble reacting to Alexander kissing Angelica’s hand. A similar gasp happens in Take A Break, after the infamous /comma after dearest/!!!! But it sounds like it’s just the two of them which is even better I’m??? *_*
