Disney movies have not only provided some of cinema’s most memorable visual moments, but some of the most cherished musical memories as well. Most of these songs are from Disney animated movies; some are from live-action films; others (noted in parentheses when not a movie) are from TV shows, Disneyland, and even one from the World’s Fair.
This list was created by aggregating more than 100 best-of lists and Disney album collections. Those points were then added to the songs’ overall Dave’s Music Database points.
