We continue our Summer in Avalor by looking at what one of my favorite things in the show, the relationship between Elena and her little sister, Isabelle. This relationship is just so pure and shows how much love Elena has for her younger sister and will always be there as a guiding light for sister. Now granted, I will be including one song that doesn't fit that as it is an Isa solo but it's my favorite song from the show, so I felt that I had to. With that outta the way, let's begin.
Sister Time - Model Sister
We start with the song, Sister Time from an episode early in the show's run that is just so fun and catchy in showing how Elena will always attempt to make time for Isa even now that she is Crown Princess. It's a cute and catchy number that sells the audience on Elena's love for Isa early in the show's run. It doesn't much establish how Elena will become that guiding light for Isa but two other songs that we will look at, do that perfectly.
Fix Anything - Crystal in The Rough
I just want the kids to like me
This line from Isabel that she speaks before the song starts speaks volumes to her character here during the first season. Isabel is a smart kid and that's great but sometimes being as smart as she is, can make you feel like an outcast and that's depressing in how one can be made to feel so dejected in such an easy manner but as Elena points out, there is nothing wrong with being smart and more importantly being yourself. Sure, it's a cliche message but it's one that people still need to hear from time to time.
Hand in Hand - Science Unfair
Isa is a very smart young girl and that's great but that can also cause her to get in her own way and think that she can do things on her own. That's what this episode observed and more-so this song perhaps best seen with this bit of dialogue.
Elena: Wow you really did some damage
Isabel: I know its a mess
Elena: Uh I meant with your friends
Isabel: So did I have to fix this
This song may seem simple but that is what makes it so great, everyone has a time where they realized that they pushed people like Isa did and that it's better to rely on them if they were willing to have you back. This song is most definitely showing Elena as a guiding light here considering that she has a council that she goes to for advice and she can parlay that experience to teach Isa that it's okay to go to others. It's a sweet and simple song that really shows how Elena will always be there for her sister. Perhaps not as much as the last song but it still got the point across.
Grown Up Enough - Three Jaquins and a Princess
This is my favorite song from the show because being a younger sibling, there is always that moment growing up when you wanted to prove that I can handle more adult responsibilities. And we believed that like Isabel, that we were grown up enough but could blow up in our face much like what happened with Isa here but Isabel does present a strong argument for why she could handle the situation and dang if this song didn't have me rooting for her. This number perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being the youngest and wanting to feel older.
Okay, I hope that you've enjoyed this Music Fridays and there might be more as the Summer in Avalor continues. Join me next time as we finally look at Shuriki. Peace!
