The de facto ending theme of the first Pokémon Movie's dub has an interesting story behind it. Starting off as an unrelated demo and deemed "too adult" for the target audience, the song was given a second chance and rewritten to include elements from the movie:
Transcript:
Some songs start in one place and end up somewhere very different. That’s what happened with “We’re A Miracle”. Deemed “too adult” by Christina’s label, the demo sat around for about a year, but somehow managed to find the right eyes and was sent back to David Zippel for a rewrite. With a few tweaks, a song about an unlikely couple became an amazing retelling of the Ash/Pikachu relationship. Of course, to some degree the parallels were always there, as Christina does sound a bit like our ten-year-old hero, coincidentally enough. In any case, do you have any thoughts on this song’s journey? Be sure to let us know. Thanks.
