Hi Danielle, EJ Cardona, a high tenor, sang his Gummi Bears solo at the very end after taking over from Sarah Whittemore who is one of two altos and Jamey Rey. Kurt von Schmittou is a lyric baritone who was singing/impersonating Kermit the Frog. The high soprano is Kate Lott sustaining those high notes. Voctave initially had eight members and then grew to eleven members. Aaron Stratton replaced JC Fullerton in the bass section. Karl Hudson is the other bass who had the spoken dialogue in Darkwing Duck and Goof Troop. Drew Ochoa is the second tenor who replaced Tony De Rosa. Jamey Rey is the third tenor and the vocal arranger. Usually the melody is doubled in some measures by the other two sopranos, Tiffany Coburn and Ashley Espinoza, whenever Kate sings those high notes; if not, then the melody is tripled in some measures. Chrystal Johnson is the other alto.
Hi Danielle, welcome back to Voctave land. This was a fun, quirky video for them. This one was one of the first featuring the new members that replaced Tony and JC (I think) I was really hoping to see you react to their Christmas videos, especially “where are you Christmas” but they have plenty of others to overwhelm you. Again.
The majority of these themes come from an Animation Block Disney had in the late 80's/early 90's called the Disney Afternoon. It was a great time of experimentation within the Disney Animated Television Departments with shows like Gummi Bears, DuckTales, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, the Aladdin Animated Series, the Timon and Pumbaa series, and Gargoyles to name a few.
I knew EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of those theme songs! I watched them all! I was laughing my head off at every one of them. Before the video started, I predicted 5 of them: Tail Spin, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Gummy Bears, and Duck Tales. I guess the reason I knew them all was that I was a pre-teen - teen when these all aired.
Born in '86; recognized all except "Muppet Babies" and "Gummi Bears" (I do know of those shows, just didn't recognize the songs). Didn't have cable or satellite growing up, so me and my sister would watch with an antenna on a local channel, complete with static and everything!
I was born in 1998 and I _recognized_ all the songs (though not until the chorus in Rescue Rangers' case). But the only show featured in this medley that I actually _watched_ as a kid was Winnie the Pooh, which I was COMPLETELY not expecting and utterly delighted to hear included~.
Just found your channel today while I've been obsessing over Encanto's soundtrack. Love your enthusiasm for Disney, but this one made me feel really old, lol. I was born in 1980 and so the Disney Afternoon was foundational in my pre-teen years.
'83 and I knew all of them, though I can't say I ever really watched Gummi Bears the intro's pretty iconic on these kinds of lists so I've heard it plenty of times. Born in 1995 you would have missed the first golden age of Disney Saturday morning cartoons, which is pretty much all of these, along with the spin-off shows from the various Disney movies, which they made for stuff like Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Tarzan, etc. These run from mid '80s through to mid/late '90s. I'd guess you were probably the Kim Possible generation, which was the second golden age of Disney Saturday Morning cartoons.
Nice reaction, Danielle! Regarding members, they have 11 permanent members (all of whom are featured in this video as well as in the "You Will Be Found" video you reacted to). Their earlier videos feature Tony De Rosa and JC Fullerton, but they left 2 years ago and were replaced by Drew Ochoa and Aaron Stratton during spring of 2020. A few of their earlier videos also feature collaborations, such as Disney Love Medley that you reacted to, and "Someone Like You" with Jody McBrayer (I highly recommend that video for a future reaction). Definitely check out their renditions of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "Smile", and "Moon River".
Oh! The Disney Line Up! These were the cartoons we latch-key kids got to watch between getting home from school and our parents getting dinner on the table! -Tale Spin took some of the characters from the Jungle Book and put them on a island caldera with planes as the main transportation method (Sheer Khan the tiger was a cut-throat businessman, Baloo the bear was a pilot, and King Louie had an island bar) -Goof Troop was about Goofy and his family -Duck Tales was mainly Scrooge McDuck and the triplets, and is running as a modern remake on D+ -Darkwing Duck was in the same universe as Duck Tales, so there was some crossover (not to mention Launchpad McQuack was his sidekick); he's basically their version of Batman -Winnie the Pooh was a Saturday morning one, I think; I didn't get to see that one -Chip n' Dale's Rescue Rangers took the main characters from the goofballs they were to private investigators with two new mice characters -Muppet Babies (Saturday morning) took the muppets and turned them into little kids, similar to the one fantasy scene Miss Piggy has in the carriage ride, if you've ever seen Muppets Take Manhattan; it's not been released to DVD or anything due to copyright issues with all the crossover bits the show did -Gummi Bears (Saturday morning) was kind of like the Smurfs, but with Bears, two little kid friends, and a knight/prince instead of a wizard; I honestly can't say the candy came first--I've never looked into it. My main grump with the DVD versions of these is the episodes weren't done in chronological order, but the shows that were in the opening number, followed by all the other ones, randomly. This is a fun melody of the theme songs, though, and that soprano is very impressive!
I'm from '86, and I knew all of them except the one at 7:47, after Chip and Dale. But I know them all in Danish, a few of them in German and Swedish, and Gummi Bears also in English... Gummi Bears is my favourite of these, but of course Voctave makes them all sound good, and the Gummi Bears theme was the first thing I learned to play on piano 🙂 Great reaction as always..
So the members are 11 - Kate Lott (Soprano) Tiffany Coburn (Mezzo) Ashley Espinoza (Soprano/Alto) Sarah Whittemore (Alto) Chrystal Johnson (Alto) EJ Cardona (Tenor and Miss Piggy) Drew Ochoa (Tenor) Jamey Ray (Tenor and Arranger) Kurt von Schmittou (Baritone and Kermit the Frog) Aaron Stratton (Baritone/Bass) Karl Hudson (Bass, the guy with the super low moments you loved)
I would love to see you react to Voctave's Trolley Song! It is my absolute, most definite favorite! I have to say that I love it way more than the original Judy Garland version and after you listen to it the first couple of times to absorb and appreciate the soloist, Ashley, you have to focus on the background singers during her solo, it is INCREDIBLE!
Hi from Germany. I‘m pretty sure the high soprano is the one with the dark purple lipstick and the black choker. She‘s just incredible. I would love to see you react to Voctave‘s Disney Love Medley with Jeremy Michael and Kirstin Maldonado (she‘s from Pentatonix). PS: I love your videos
I 😂 got them all and I also watched them all, bc I was born in Mid 80s so I was lucky to be here when the Disney channel was 1st starting and the Saturday morning cartoon golden era started
Born in 87 i knew nearly all of them. The Puppet Babys (Mrs. Piggy) is the only one I didn´t know. I am very sorry if I recommend them again, but when you said the Bass singer from Voctave should do an Version of the Haunted Mansion I had to think, Voiceplay allready did a Version with their "Grim Grinning Ghosts" :)
Even though I was born in ‘66, I knew them all. Didn’t watch any of the shows but we had the Disney Channel & my younger siblings watched all of these, a lot! lol - Disney was the only channel that my parents didn’t care what we watched on it because it was always wholesome programming; So the Family Room TV always had The Disney Channel on. So any time I was at my parents house, especially in the 90s, you would hear these in the background! lol Excellent reaction, btw. Please do more Voctave! They have a ton of great stuff to choose from too.
I really need Voctave to do a Playhouse Disney theme song medley. Stanley, PB & J Otter, Out Of The Box, Bear In The Big Blue House, Jojo's Circus, Handy Manny, Higglytown Heroes.
I was born in 1995, and my brother, who was born in the 80s, introduced me to each of these shows: Talespin Goof Troop Ducktales Darkwing Duck The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers Muppet Babies The Adventures of the Gummi Bears
Karl, the low base, is also in a pop a cappella group called The Edge Effect. You should check them out. Especially You’ll Be in my Heart, Ride Like the Wind, or You Make My Dreams Come True.
'83 and my bro was born in '89. Knew all of them the first time I heard this song (we listen to it ALOT in my car...my boys love Voctave). We didn't have cable but we watched them on ABC Saturday mornings. I would love for you to do Someone Like you feat Jody McBrayer (from Avalon) and their Disney Showstopper Medley. The Prince of Egypt Medley and Heroes and Villians Medley are so wonderful but audio only #subscriptionsquad
Born 1990, so all of these were prime cartoons for me growing up. Amazing nostalgia kick with this one from Voctave. Eh, don't feel too bad about the gummie bears. I don't remember them either lol. Care bears; yes, Gummie Bears; eh, not so much.
If you want really high, check out their Oh come oh come Emmanuel. It’s a medley with. I wonder as I wander at the end with Kate hitting a ridiculously high note.!!!!!
I have three reaction suggestions for you! Austin Brown - Bring Him Home, Tim Foust - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, and Home Free - Amazed. You don't want to miss any of these!
You are too cute to be true!! Thanks for doing this. Though they have had as few as 8, ( the Great Movie medley you reacted to had 9 ) The regular/touring group is 11.....5 women-6 men. The coloratura soprano is Kate ( as in gate ) Lott. She is a wonderful freak and that is head voice. EJ, the amazing tenor, did the Miss Piggy, because nobody else in the group could do it!!LOL..... VOCTAVE V is the Roman numeral for 5 sooooo 5 octave group. Their fans that have seen them live swear they sound every bit as good, if not better live.They have , I think, 2 more virtual videos. One is them singing Smile.. ( Charlie Chaplin song) Soooooo beautiful. The other is The Trolley Song from Meet Me In St Louis. Very short, live performance ( cell phone) off the cuff, at a cafe where they were eating. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tWEwrZs73UI.html
I can't help for the name because the name of each Disney is different in France, for example Ducktales for us it's "La Bande à Piscou" (Piscou the name of the uncle multi billionaire, The Band of Piscou for the translation)
Ok I’m not a Disney fan per say but I remember every single one of these songs/shows! Rescue rangers is the best tv show cartoon of all time baby! These were pretty much all peek Disney tv shows from the 90’s! Didn’t watch too much Winnie the Pooh or Darkwing duck but the rest i watched whenever I could! We didn’t own a tv growing up but I still managed to see all these shows!
Disney Love Medley is a MUST! You will DIE! 😂 SHOOOOKETHHHH! 😅🙌🏻 Also Someone Like You! The lead in this one has some of the best voice control I’ve ever heard before! #subscribesquad Just subscribed! Love your videos Danielle!
It's unfair for me to challenge most people to TV theme songs from the 1960s-2000. IDK why I have hundreds of theme songs memorized. Disney Afternoon technically started with Gummi Bears in the late 80s, but didn't officially start until 1990 with DuckTales. As a Batman fan, Darkwing Duck was my favorite show, but Gummi Bears is my favorite theme from their era.
Love your reactions ♥️🖤 can you react to (pentatonix: mary did you know) its a Acapella group they're quite famous and have a different voice I'm sure you'll love it

Hi Danielle, you need to give yourself a break on memories from the 90's as you were 4 at the end of the 90's and most people cannot remember anything at 3 and below.
