I'm Still Here Duet ft. Annapantsu

This is a fan-edited duet made for NO PROFIT

I Love Treasure Planet. One of my first Disney movies. And one of my top favorites.

Jim Hawkins is my favorite Disney Hero/Protagonist. He is a rebel, sure, but he cares about his mother, dreams of adventure since childhood, and longs for a father figure when his birth father left him and his mother.

Yep, you heard right. No tragic death, no murder. Jim's father just got up and left. That's really rare for any film geared towards younger audiences, let ALONE Disney, to tackle such a more mature theme. Yeah, there are many rebellious young characters, especially in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, but Jim had a believable and relatable reason to why he's rebellious, angsty and reckless.

It makes Jim Hawkins more sympathetic, and even Empathetic for many people. He is more grounded as a character. It make him, in many respects, more believable, more relatable, and a little more, Real.

His song reflected all that. It wasn't edgy, grimdark, or a metal head rock song for the bruiting, moody, emo, and hardcore feel. It's elegant, yet straight forward. It's inspiring, yet somber. It's simple, yet complex.

That's why I'll always love Jim Hawkins and Treasure Planet. And that's why I'll always love this song.

Because by the end of the day, we may all feel separate, alone, unwanted, maybe even shunned or disgraced by everyone else. But we can all stand up, look at those morons dead in the eyes, and say, "I'm Still Here".

Also...

Thank you Anna. You rock.
