About the Song's Story

The Pub and Its Characters

In I've Got a Dream, the song is performed by a group of tough-looking characters who live in a pub. At first, the main characters, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, are a bit scared of them. These pub-dwellers seem intimidating because of their appearance.

Discovering Shared Dreams

However, as the song plays, Rapunzel and Flynn discover something surprising. The tough pub-dwellers actually have secret dreams and wishes, just like everyone else. They sing about their hidden desires, which are often very different from their tough exteriors. This helps Rapunzel and Flynn realize that you shouldn't judge someone just by how they look.

The Message of Being Misunderstood

The main idea of the song is that these "thugs" or "criminals" are actually just misunderstood. They might look rough, but deep down, they have hopes and dreams for a better life. The song shows how people can connect over their shared desire for more in their lives, even if they seem very different at first. It's a fun way to learn about looking past appearances and finding common ground.
