The 50 Best Disney Songs to Add a Little Magic to Your Life

Asking you to pick your number one Disney song is basically like asking your parents to choose their favorite child. (It’s me, obviously.) You shan’t ever dare to do it! There are just way too many iconic Disney tunes that it’s nearly impossible to play faves. One second you could be feeling “A Whole New World” while imagining yourself on a magic carpet ride, but then “Colors of the Wind” comes on and takes over for first place. Disney songs were such a huge part of our childhoods; each one hits you in a totally different warm-and-fuzzy way. Is it nostalgia? Happiness? Or just a feat of musical genius?

Here, I’ve collected for you a list of the 50 best Disney songs to ever grace this planet. But mark my words, it was no easy feat. There are literally hundreds of Disney songs spanning a history of MORE THAN EIGHTY YEARS. For those of you who didn’t realize, Disney has been cranking out musical movies ever since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in 1937—way longer than you or I have been alive, mind you. It just can’t stop making hits, I guess. So the next time you need to add a spoonful of sugar to your day, just cue up one of these best Disney songs.

BTW, if you’re, like, really *obsessed* with Disney, might I suggest signing up for Disney+?
