Disney+ has reanimated three iconic songs to be signed by the characters, and just in time for the end of National Deaf History Month. The three songs Disney has chosen to reanimate are “The Next Right Thing” from “Frozen 2”, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from “Encanto”, and “Beyond” from “Moana 2”.
The songs are specifically being animated in American Sign Language (ASL), so that people in the Deaf community or who are hard-of-hearing can also understand and enjoy the music, without having to read closed captions.
Kicking off the list of Earth Month events at Highline was the Highline forest walk Thursday, April 16. Stephanie Ojeda Ponce was the organizer of this event, along with Woody Moses, two professors here at Highline.
The event started with students from Ojeda Ponce’s class and other Highline community members gathering around the entrance to the library, and then Ojeda Ponce led everyone down the trail to the forest. They walked the trail for about an hour, taking time to stop and appreciate the view, take notes, and embrace the world around them.
