Top 20 Favorite Disney Songs
Tried to rank these just in terms of how much I like the music, though obviously, it's hard to divorce them from their associated animated sequences.
1. "When You Wish Upon a Star" (Pinocchio)
2. "Gaston" (Beauty and the Beast)
3. "Under the Sea" (The Little Mermaid)
4. "Heaven's Light / Hellfire" (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
5. "Cruella De Vil" (One Hundred and One Dalmatians)
6. "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" (Peter Pan)—yes, that's really the song's title
7. "Kiss the Girl" (The Little Mermaid)
8. "The Bare Necessities" (The Jungle Book)
9. "Part of Your World" (The Little Mermaid)
10. "Circle of Life" (The Lion King)
11. "The Bells of Notre Dame" (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

10 Musical Pieces That Should Definitely Be in Fantasia 2060
1. "Shhh / Peaceful" - Miles Davis
2. "Psalm" - John Coltrane
3. "Music in Twelve Parts: Part 2" - Philip Glass
4. "Symphony No. 9 in E Minor: II. Largo" - Antonín Dvořák
5. "The Lark Ascending" - Vaughan Williams
6. "West End Blues" - Louis Armstrong
7. "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One" - King Crimson
8. "Ride of the Valkyries" - Richard Wagner (Disney's apparently considered this before—just... please don't make it racist...)
9. "Eruption" - Van Halen (because this will definitely be "old-fashioned music" in forty years)
10. "Symphony No. 9 in D Minor: IV. Finale" - Ludwig Van Beethoven (why not?)
(I need some women on this list... suggestions?)
Best First-Time Watch: The Three Caballeros. Disney on peyote—can we get more of this kind of stuff? Please?
Worst First-Time Watch: Chicken Little. Obviously.
Biggest Surprise of this Retrospective: The Three Caballeros (again). Thank goodness for this beautiful, insane mess.
Movie that Most Benefited from Rewatch: Lilo & Stitch. This is why I should rewatch movies more often—how had I forgotten how good this movie is?
Movie that Least Benefited from Rewatch: The Rescuers. How had I forgotten just how sloppily plotted and animated this movie is?
Favorite Disney Animation Trend: "What if we hired this Alan Menken dude?"
Least-Favorite Disney Animation Trend: "You know what this movie is missing? An obligatory, unearned romance."
Best Comic Relief Character: Kronk (The Emperor's New Groove)—though maybe this is cheating, since the whole movie is comic relief? Okay, if it is cheating, then my other answer is Joanna (The Rescuers Down Under).
Worst Comic Relief Character: Whatever that lemur's name is in Dinosaur. Does something count as comic relief if it isn't funny?
