These are amazing

Multilingual versions of Disney animated songs. WOW.

(This is my favorite because the Hebrew choir part is actually something I've heard and sung before)

And this one? WOW, so utterly amazing.

(There are apparently a ton of similarly done clips on youtube. I had NO IDEA)

I used to hang out on a Disney forum devoted to song translations so I could practice my French translating and I have a huge amount of foreign Disney/Animated Films music as a result. It's sadly closed now, or else I would link it to you. But if you ever want a translation of a French Disney song, I'm your girl! :p

The Hebrew Disney translations in general are almost universally gorgeous. Something about the way the language is when sung is beautiful. The Hebrew version of I Stand Alone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwX9bmabe5g) from Quest for Camelot is one of my favourites.

oh what a neat idea for a forum! I'm impressed you could translate like that!

The forum was a very, very cool place. Lots of people from all over the world sharing the translations from their countries. It left me with a very weird music collection, though. "What are you listening to?" "The Little Mermaid. In Thai." :-)

Due to the somewhat unorthodox way I learned French, translating is actually what I do best. Speaking and understanding spoken French is what I suck at. But I can translate like the wind! At least, from French to English. I can't go the other way. ... I have a very limited skill set.

Considering that I am completely terrible in every language I've attempted to learn I tip my hat to you for your (what I consider) impressive skill set!
