Rothbart without Odile is not Rothbart
I actually kind of regret they didn’t put her in the movie
Can you imagine what kind of dynamic these two could have, taken how they wrote Rothbart??
How it could influence all the stuff with Odette??
What dynamic could Odile and Odette possibly have???
You know, even though i think he’d rather wish a son as a heir initially, i believe he could actually be a really nice father
In spite of the fact that the complicated situation in which he once found himself, the difficulties that came with it, and some aspects of his nature have certainly affected her character
Oh man, I really gotta finally settle and sort all the stuff in my head, there’s so much going on
Bonus:
These two are just
I have a lot to say-

ODETTA
Here she is performing “Give Me Your Hand.” A simple song, but an easy primer on her towering vocal ability.

“Folk songs were the anger, the venom, the hatred of myself and everybody else, everything else … that helped heal me a great deal.”

For the neophytes! The New York Times made this lovely video back in 2008, shortly after Odetta passed away.
ODETTA
The future icon was born Odetta Holmes in Birmingham, Alabama in 1930. She was classically trained, but favored folk music, a nimbler genre that could directly express her lyrics and sentiment. Her voice was broad and sonorous, a booming sound that gave her music a special depth. She was the great among greats; Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Tracy Chapman, and more all cited her as an influence. Her music has a hagiographic quality. She was often nicknamed the “soundtrack of the Civil Rights Movement,” a title she more than earned after marching with Martin Luther King Jr. and being name-checked as a favorite by leaders like Rosa Parks.
