Damn right
"Circle Of Life" is absolutely iconic. As soon as you hear that Zulu opening, you know you're in for a hard hitting song. It's beautiful, perfectly paced, and expertly lays out one of the film's core themes. It's so good, that the entire teaser trailer for _The Lion King_ was just this sequence. To this day, I cannot sing it without tearing up. It's simply perfect.

I Agreed!
Here's what I learned from Disney: 1.) 'Beauty And The Beast' - never judge a book by its cover because you never what's underneath 2.) 'A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes' - never stop dreaming 3.) 'Under The Sea' - adventures and wonders of the ocean 4.) 'Reflection' - be yourself and stay true to your heart 5.) 'Let It Go' - let go of fear 6.) 'Friend Like Me' - having a friend like the Genie 7.) 'Hakuna Matata' - it means no worries 8.) 'Colors Of The Wind' - appreciating nature
Reflection def from Mulan has been engraved in my head for years. So is You'll be in my heart. It truly is magical

Beauty and the Beast is a timeless classic and the ballroom scene is sooooo iconic, Disney was ahead of its time

What can I say? I’m both a 90s kid and a 2000s kid. And pop culture today has never stopped me.
I think that among my favs are: Circle of Life, A Whole new world, A friend like me, Beauty and the Beast and Reflection.. there is also Hakuna Matata.. The 90s are for me like the golden age of Disney movies.. I still like it today, plus its songs
"Reflection" will always be number one for me
My family is Lebanese & Syrian & I love the song reflection because I’ve felt a huge amount of familial pressure & I grew up thinking I wasn’t good enough for my family.

Princess Arwen. You must love, the LOTR. I do too.
I just knew “Beauty and the Beast” would be among the top three. Not only is the film among my top favorite Disney films of all time, but it’s also among my top favorite love stories of all time. Whether I’m watching the original film or the live-action remake, the ballroom dance scene NEVER fails to make me feel all lovey-dovey and cry tears of happiness due to how beautiful it is! The film is only one month older than me, and even after 31 years, that scene NEVER fails to make me believe in true love. “Beauty and the Beast” truly is a tale as old as time

Couldn’t agree more! I was 9 years old when the film first came out and instantly loved it straight away!
reading the plot of "Ballad of Hua Mulan", "Reflection" is actually very fitting because in the "Ballad", tho Mulan was doing expected East Asian girl tasks (e.g. textile production & household chores) she has a sort of *existential identity crisis*
I use to sing “you will be in my heart” to my children as babies to go to sleep. 💗It will always be one of my favorite songs from a Disney movie.
Im glad "youll be in my heart" made the list. Its my favorite Disney song.
I listen and grew to every single song of these classic timeless beautiful Disney music. Man, Disney was magical and all so magical ❤❤❤❤❤
This gave me happy tears! Absolute top 10 picks of my childhood. Although Part of Your World is my top fav, but Lion King will always be everyone’s classic of the 90s. Next year, the film will be 30 years old!!

Such a crime that “Reflection” was SNUBBED of an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. One of the worst sins of the Academy I’ll never forgive. 🤦♂️
Disney still has good songs from its 21st century animated movies like Tangled, Frozen, and Moana, such as When Will My Life Begin, I See The Light, Let It Go, How Far I’ll Go, and You’re Welcome, but they’re just lacking something which prevents them from being as memorable compared to 20th century Disney songs

I like your list but two things: 1. When You Wish Upon a Star should easily be number one. That's such a defining song for Disney and has an iconic presence. 2. All of your selections are slow moving songs. I'd have liked to see some faster paced ones, such as Hakuna Matata or Under the Sea or Be Our Guest. Again, though, good job!
the old little mermaid and the new little mermaid are still in my childhood memories comes with old and new
As someone born in the mid-80s I saw most of the Disney Renaissance in the theaters. They blew me away on the big screen but the opening "The Circle of Life" was Disney's greatest blow you away movie intro.❤

When you guys do a 21st century version of this list, please be sure to include I'm Still Here from the underrated masterpiece, Treasure Planet.
I was just shocked, SHOCKED, that Circle of Life was number 1 on a MsMojo Disney list. I thought there was no way it would be the top one for the 13th time straight! My whole family competes to guess number 2 now because all of us know what number 1 will be. So predictable.
Magic Carpet Ride ~ recital song for my daughter complete with a pink harem costume ~ so very many memories with this song!
Some very importan omissions… God help the outcasts-Hunchback Can you feel the love tonight- Lion King Out there- Hunchback

I think you forgot 2, Frozen-"Let it go" and Wicked-"For Good". They at least deserve honorable mentions!!
Ringo Starr did a really great version of When You Wish Upon A Star
The Lion King (1994) is Disney's best- music, story and animation wise.

I don't make many comments on these but (in my opinion) you missed an even better one from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Out There just gives me the chills every time I hear it. Not even an honorable mention here. The list was great but I really feel that Out There is better than some on this list.
Oh my goodness what a great list of songs and tugs on the heart strings so good so disney
I always feel like reflection is the best coming out song
figured a good number of these would be from the renaissance, as that was the golden age of Disney musical hits
A Whole New World made the list? Awesome!
LOVE this compilation.
When you wish upon a Star should have been #1 its what played though the disney logo on all the classic vhs movies. Whe you hear that you think Disney in the good old days
Amazing ❤❤❤❤
Out of my top like…21 favorite Disney songs of all time only 1 of them was from the 21st century. It’s Married Life from Up. But all the others were from Cinderella, The Lion King, Sleeping Beauty, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pinocchio, Robin Hood, Beauty and the Beast Tarzan, 101 Dalmatians, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Aladdin. I was born in the early 2000s but I mainly watched the classics growing up. Cinderella was and still is my favorite Disney movie (the 1950 and 2015 are practically tied as my number 1 Disney movie) and Robin Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, The Lion King and many others from the 20th century are some of my favorite Disney movies!
Mates, while Disney Pocahontas is my favourite, it does have issues. Lile even though it's a strong song about Natives and the Eviroment, Colours of the Wind is overrated. My favourite song is Just Around the River Bend but it's my fav, not good enough. Middle of the River, a deleted song, is a shame because it sounds good. But the best song of the movie that sadly got deleted is If I Never Knew You, Peroid! Bet if it made the movie, it be high on this WatchMojo list. It is a very powerful love song. Have a listen to it, bet you will love it :)
I love all songs ❤
the number 7, 3 and 1 are my favourites.
I love Disney songs
This list is so much better
I like all of them
Refection is one of favourites. You'll be in my heart is a favourite too. Part of Your World reminds me of camp as we sang it a lot. A Whole New World is one of my favourites as well. Jasmine is my favourite princess. Go the Distance is a favourite too.
While not necessarily the order, I can agree with MOST of the songs on this list.
Surprised this list was not made sooner.
Had a feeling this was gonna be filled with mostly 90s songs. The Runner Up list is more representative of Disney as a whole. Not just 90s Disney’s.
I have never had the experience of putting the Lion King in and pressing play. I watched that in the theatre and I have never gone in for a second dose of trauma.
I was a 90s kid when the Disney Renaissance era came.
PS: number 1 has an incredible into in Shahili language I think and the movie scene overall is an amazing opening scene, but when the English singer (or so as different by language obviously, as Let It Go reminds me :) starts, sorry but isn't as strong enough. She doesn't kill it but could have been better. It makes me wonder if being Number 1 is the correct way alright?
This is my top 20 all time: #20 Let it go 🥶 (Frozen) #19 Baby of Mine 🐘 (Dumbo) #18 Bella Notte 🐕 (Lady and the Tramp) #17 A Spoonful of Sugar 🥄 (Mary Poppins) #16 Someday My Prince Will Come (Snow White) 👑 #15 Hellfire 🔥 (Hunchback of Notre Dame) #14 Bare Necessities 🐻 (Jungle Book) #13 Love is a song 🦌 (Bambi) #12 Once upon a dream - 💭 (Sleeping Beauty) #11 You’ve got a friend in me 🤠 (Toy Story) #10 Go the Distance 🏃♂️ (Hercules) #9 A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes ❤️ (Cinderella) #8 A whole new world 🌎 (Aladdin) #7 When you Wish upon a star 💫 (Pinocchio) #6 I’ll make a man out of you 💪 (Mulan) #5 Beauty and The Beast 💃🕺 (Beauty and the Beast) #4 You’ll be in my Heart 🐒 (Tarzan) #3 Colors of the Wind 🌬 (Pocahontas) #2 Under the Sea 🧜♀️ (Little Mermaid) #1 Circle of Life 🦁 (Lion King)

Lastly, as for the rest of the songs, especially what makes number 1, they are good songs but I think the order could be better as in my opinion, maybe a song that is low should be higher instead. So that is all I have to say. Cheers!
Ever since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the first Disney animated movie.
Please add Pocahontas in your next Disney lists because I believe her songs are one of the top greatest songs. Or the singer behind it is one of the top, that being Judy Khan or Lea. 😊🙌
