I had no doubt that Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King would be the top two. The Lion King blows us over right out of the gate with Lebo M, Carmen Twilie, and Hans Zimmer's rendition of Sir Elton John and Sir Tim Rice's Circle of Life, setting a standard for the rest of the film as a whole. Hans Zimmer's score is beautifully done, putting you right in the African savannah and the plight of a young prince, who just can't wait to be king.
Of course Beauty and the Beast is no slouch at all, with the songwriting duo of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken giving the very best to a project that wasn't expected to be the runaway hit it turned out to be. The title song is undoubtedly their finest. To add to the magic, that title song was sung in a single take by the late, great Dame Angela Lansbury. She didn't want to do it, thinking her voice unsuited for the song, and the directors asked her to try, just in case nothing else worked. One take later, the entire studio was in tears, and any thought of trying anything else was out the window.
All great choices here!

oliver and company imo is hugely underrated honestly, its even the first cartoon movie with real world advertisement
also Hercules should be a higher number. why? we got Danny Fricking Devito singing
also, Treasure Planet and Atlantis the lost empire? should atleast get an honorable mention, ''im here'' is an amazing song, and the music of Atlantis is superbedly fitting to its adventurous yet mystical feel

I agree to an extent. Frozen and Encanto are both overrated in my opinion, INCLUDING their music.
No way they deserve to be listed so high-especially over the likes of Oliver & Company, Mulan or even Hercules! Just nope!
Good list despite that bizarre rating. Lion King is very deserving of the #1 spot. Tarzan should have been #2, or at least #3.

If I could gamble with every Disney list you make on which movie will top the list, Id be a millionaire. Or even having a bet on Lion King being in the top 3. Mainly because if it isnt number 1, Frozen is. I often wonder if you sleep through the more dragged out and slower parts of the movie and just watch the awesome bits.

The intro to Two Worlds alone wipes the floor all of all these soundtracks and I grew up with Disney, but Phil Collins delivered something no one can even come close too. The way each song crafts the story and journey for these characters. Phil doesn't get near enough credit. Incredible. My all time favourite

I think MsMojo and most people here apparently are forgetting Lilo and Stitch. The Hawaiian dream music is amazing done also with a child choir. Not to mention Elvis Presly is all over that sound track.
My 4 predictions to all be top 5 were
The Lion King
Moana
Lilo and stitch
Tarzan

Personally I think it should have been a different top five
#5: Tarzan
#4: The Lion King
#3: Hercules
#4: Encanto
&
#1: Aladdin
And Lilo stitch should have gotten an honorable mention as Elvis Aaron Presley is the King for a very good reason!

I. Can. Not. Believe she was in labor singing that song. Like pushing my baby out was easy but labor pains before that. N-no sorry wrong number
I do live by that mantra #hakuna matata. I also live #supercalifragilisticexpialidociously but that's another list

101 Dalmatians doesn't even get an honorable mention? That's a disgrace. Cruella Deville is an excellent song, and the rest of the soundtrack is jazzy perfection. Yet, you have newer crap like Frozen and Moana of all things on there. Pffft!

I mean, seriously? Fantasia not even in the top 10? I don't even wanna know the criterium with which this list has been made. I mean those are among the greatest musical works of all time and it's topped by Tarzan or MOANA? Are you kidding me?

Most of that is in the wrong order. Princess and the frog should at least be in the top 10 pochantas should be 18th. Fantasia should be 20th Tazan 3rd and you forgot one of the best Disney movies Brother Bear which should be 5th

Ive come to the conclusion that the idea that Pocahontas is problematic is mostly a fallacyits a perfectly fine and original magical realism historical fiction romance underneath the real life historical names attached to it.

Roughly equating Goofy Movie with Nightmare Before Christmas is a crime.
ALSO, you put Oliver & Co and Goofy on the list, but Jungle Book is an honorable mention. Nope. That's insanely wrong, and you should feel bad.

There were some disagreements I had with number placement, but that's not really an issue.
My issue is:
Putting Moana or Encanto above The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a sin.

The Goofy Movie's musical numbers are what they are because of the great Tevin Campbell vocals. He deserves his flowers in this list.

You just cannot help but groove along when any song from Hercules' or Tarzan comes on. They are #1 and #2 for me. No contest at all.
