As far as single songs go, I love “Two Worlds” from Tarzan; and " Friend Like Me" from Aladdin. The entire Lilo & Stitch soundtrack rocked, even though nothing of it was original and written specifically for the movie. ( have no idea if He Mele No Lilo was firstly a Hawaiian song, or adapted. It’s the only song there with Lilo, or anything relevant to the movie in the title …) Least favorite is anything from Pocahontas. I really dislike that movie. ---

The songs were the only thing I even remotly liked about Pocahontas. The Little Mermaid has three great songs. Under the Sea Kiss the Girl Part of your World Snow White has some huge standards of American culture. Heigh Ho Whistle while you work. Some Day my Prince Will Come Pinnochio – When you wish upon a star. That is _the_ theme song for Disney. Beauty and the Beast though has the best over all songs. It really is a great musical. ---

The two greatest Disney songs ever produced remain “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “Feed the Birds”. Rounding out to an even dozen: “All in a Golden Afternoon” “Belle” “Colors of the Wind” “I Wanna Be Like You” “Little April Showers” “Love” “The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down” “Under the Sea” “What’s This?” “When She Loved Me” Honorable mention to Jerry Goldsmith’s magnificent underscoring of _Mulan_ 10 worst: “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” “Chim Chim Cheree” “I’m Wishing” “My Funny Friend and Me” “My Name Is James” “Out There” “Second Star to the Right” “Siamese Cat Song” “So This Is Love” “You’ll Be in My Heart” ---

What is really strange is that one of the best songs “Cruella De Vil” from 101 Dalmatians is in a movie with very few songs but has a song writer as a main character. Oh and The Jungle Book has some great songs as long as you ignore “We’re your Friends”. Bear Necessities and I Wanna Be Lke You are really fun. ---

“Beauty and the Beast,” no question. Not only does it have the spectacular Jerry Orbach and the sublime Angela Lansbury, but the lyrics are some of the cleverest I’ve ever heard outside of Sondheim or Porter and Gaston _quotes MacBeth!_ That right there is the reason I always give for why it’s my favorite Disney movie and soundtrack. ---

**The Jungle Book** was my favorite as a kid. I had the record (vinyl!) and pretty much wore it out. ---

I love every single song on the “Mary Poppins” soundtrack. But the one I love the best is “Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag).” ---

I like Claude Frollo’s song from _Hunchback of Notre Dame_, even though the movie itself is kind of awkward. But my favourite soundtrack is Tarzan. I love all those songs. My least favourite would be something like _Hercules_. There’s nothing good in _Hercules_. ---

Though if push comes to shove, I’d have to call it a toss-up between “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” (from **Lilo & Stitch** ) or Robert Goulet’s version of “You’ve Got a Friend In Me” (from **Toy Story 2** ) as my top Disney soundtrack single. ---

Well I hadn’t even considered Nightmare Befor Christmas. That is a great over all score and has one of my favorite songs. Kiddnap the Sandy Clause rjung Mine from Pocahontas is really fun and I like Savages as well. I like the songs of Hunchback, except for the ‘kiddie’ ones. If they just made a film ment for adults it would have been great. Now some questions I ashamed to ask since I am supposed to be my family’s Disney expert. **Archive Guy** The Rain Rain Rain came Down Down Down? **Tracy Lord** Gaston quotes MacBeth? ---

I’m gonna be the first (apparantly) to say **Aladdin**. It’s also my favorite Disney movie in general. I mean, you’ve got: “One Jump” - Both the first time, and the reprise, which is just a few lines, but really gets ya’. “Friend Like Me” and “Prince Ali” and both very fun songs. “A Whole New World” is there for all those wishy-washy romantics out there. And, of course, “Arabian Nights,”…like Arabian Days. And the original is the best, “Where the cut off your ear if they don’t like your face, It’s barbaric but hey, it’s home.” Least? **Pocahontas**. Nothing good about that movie. ---

The Sherman brothers are going to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame later this year. I didn’t even know there was such a thing, but they deserve it. (P.S. Besides _Mary Poppins_, the _Winnie-the-Pooh_ shorts, and the “It’s A Small World” theme, some of the Shermans’ best work can be found in a non-Disney film: _Snoopy Come Home_.) ---

Re: Mary Poppins Although Chim Chim Chero won best song, I prefer Sing the birds best of all. But i must say I enjoy the entire soundtrack. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/disney-movie-soundtracks-most-least-favorite/291612.md?page=2)
