My Top 100: Songs from Walt Disney Animation Studios Films

Disney has become etched in pretty much all of our childhoods. That would also include the many songs involved in most of the films from this studio. So I decided to create my own list.

I had to set myself a few ground rules for this particular list.

I looked through all 59 (yes all 59) films made by Walt Disney Animation Studios to find all the songs that would qualify into the list.
It was hard to decide on some if they were seen as songs or not. A good example in 'The Walrus And The Carpenter' in Alice In Wonderland. It was more of a story then a song. It did have singing in it. But it was fairly spread out over the story. So I had to be cruel and leave that one out.

There were also some songs that I had to discount as they were simply too short. Ones that I hated disqualifying from this list was 'Sailor's Hornpipe/Caucus Race' from Alice In Wonderland and 'Oh, Sing Sweet Nightingale' from Cinderella, and I really enjoy them.

However, I am including songs that were may not have been sung by the characters, but made for the film. A good example to make sense of it this is the Phil Collins used in Tarzan. While they were not sung by the characters. They were solely made for that particular film.

It was clear that I cannot do just a top 10 list as there are so many good ones. I was originally going for the classic music chart number of 40. But there so many good ones, that I decided to do a top 100 instead.

Films that had songs in them that missed out on this list, were Bolt, Home On The Range, Lilo & Stitch, Meet The Robinsons, Saludos Amigos, The Emperor's New Groove, The Rescuers, Treasure Planet and Winnie The Pooh.

Films that got all their songs in my top 100 are Beauty And The Beast, Robin Hood, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Tarzan, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, The Lion King and Zootropolis (even though there's only one song in it).

Only 8 villain songs made the cut. A few songs that sadly missed out that I stilled like were "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" from Mulan, "On My Way" from Brother Bear, "Gaston" from Beauty And The Beast - Gaston, "Two Silhouettes" from Make Mine Music, "With A Smile And A Song" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" from Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, "Katrina" from The Adventures Of Ichabod & Mr. Toad, "The Three Caballeros" from The Three Caballeros and "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" from The Great Mouse Detective.
