Walt Disney Productions' 1977 animated film "The Rescuers" had a haunting song for its main title sequence called "The Journey". Whenever I hear it, it reminds me of the verses of Carpenters' 1976 "One More Time". Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the two songs? You can hear it particularly :25 seconds in. They can almost be sung in counterpoint to each other. Another interesting connection is the state of Louisiana. We know that in "One More Time" Karen sings about memories of "going way down south to Louisiana" and "Baton Rouge". Much of the "The Rescuers" takes place in the swamps of Louisiana.
Perhaps it's more the tone and mood of the two pieces than anything that reminds me of the other. And wasn't there a rumor or report in the late 70's that the Carpenters had been asked to do the music for a Disney film? It would have been great to hear their take on scoring and recording for Disney. Have a listen to 'The Journey':
