These are the big musical numbers, the ones where all the characters come out for a big daring sequence. These parts of the movie usually contain the most elaborate sing and dance numbers, and are often where the majority of the money in the movie is spent animating.
These showcase tunes from the old days and the modern times are usually the catchiest from the movies. Now you can sample them and buy them here and relive your childhood every day.
Best Dramatic Disney Songs
Almost every modern Disney movie (and some of the old ones) had romance and drama to go along with its plotlines. These songs are often emotional, evoke feelings of love, whether familial or romantic.
Here you can listen to samples of your favorite Disney tunes and buy the music you love the most!
Best Hero Songs
These songs introduce us to the main character. Whether it's nerdy Ariel yearning to be part of the people on land or Aladdin trying to outrace the palace guards, we get a sense of the lives they live and what they yearn for from their struggles. Some of these songs are bland, but others are quite good.
Here you can sample all the best Disney hero themes and buy them on Amazon!
Best Villain Songs
Although it's good to see the protagonist beat out a few tunes, it's just as cool when the villain gets a chance to ham it up. This often provides a lot of awesomeness, because the villain's darker side is inflated to an uproarious degree. Whether it be Scar in the Lion King or Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Usually the better the villain's song, the better the movie.
Buy all you favorite Disney Villain songs off of Amazon!
Best Sidekick Songs
These songs usually involve the foil to the protagonist, i.e. the comedian. Robin Williams's Genie, Quasimodo's gargoyles, or a tiny crab with a reggae beat, these characters all help to liven the mood of these dramatic stories.
Buy all these kicking and generally upbeat Disney tunes on Amazon!

After the success of their score for The Little Mermaid, the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken returned to Disney for their second fairy-tale adaptation. Sadly, it was the duo's last completed score before Ashman's untimely death at age 41. This soundtrack contains more-conventional show music than The Little Mermaid, owing in large part to Broadway stalwart Angela Lansbury and to Jerry Orbach's Yves Montand impersonation. Most of the songs here were included in the subsequent Br...0 points

2004 reissue includes a newly remastered version of the 1994 soundtrack with one new song written & recorded by Elton John & Tim Rice ('The Morning Report') as well as a remixed version of the Elton John hit 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. The bonus disc ('Rhythm Of The Pridelands') features songs written by Lebo M that were inspired by the original 'Lion King', many of which have gone on to become part of the stage show. Bonus tracks, 'Circle Of Life', 'He Lives In You', 'Hakuna Matata', 'The....0 points

Lea Salonga, best known as the voice of Jasmine in Aladdin, steals the show here as the title character in Disney's Mulan. The former star of Miss Saigon adds touching elements to the feature, especially on introspective numbers such as "Reflection." Unfortunately, the voice of Donny Osmond, relegated to anthems such as "I'll Make a Man Out of You" doesn't really enhance the story line, a saga set in ancient China. Jerry Goldsmith provides the Far East tinge to the score, almost reminiscent of e...0 points

If anyone belongs in the "Whatever Happened To?" category of a game show, it's Phil Collins. Back in the 1980s, Collins was everywhere, having retinkered Genesis into a smooth, hit-making machine and embarking on a solo career that redefined adult contemporary music. He's still been busy, but nowhere near the spotlight. His latest project has been writing five songs for Disney's animated Tarzan. "You' ll Be in My Heart"--presented here in two versions, one with actress Glenn Close--is exactly th...0 points

Before Broadway was Disneyfied and Times Square became a mall, the best Broadway musicals were being written for Disney animated features by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman. Their songs for The Little Mermaid created the mold from which their even more popular work (Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin) would be cast. Almost every tune in Mermaid has its (slightly inferior) counterpart in Beauty, for example. But there's no topping the Oscar-winning calypso show-stopper, "Under the Sea"--in which....0 points

Disney's Snow White, the world's first animated musical feature (1937), is still a standard in the industry. Though 1930s recording technology was primitive by today's standards, the Disney music studios have always used the available technology to its fullest, and this recording still stands up. The mature but hauntingly childlike Adriana Caselotti as Snow White is a unique vocal presence, and the songs include "Whistle While You Work," "Heigh-Ho," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come." The score....0 points

Sandwiched amidst the remarkable string of renascent Disney animation successes that spanned The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, the studio's 1992 adaptation of the venerable Arabian tale won a pair of Oscars for Alan Menken's vibrant instrumental score and his memorable collaboration with lyricist Tim Rice, the infectious song "A Whole New World." This new edition does more than showcase those enduring musical charms, fleshing out the original 21 tracks of songs, underscore and antics of Robi...0 points
