Disney Lyrics Quiz

Disney songs have a magical way of burrowing into our hearts and staying there for decades. From the very first Disney feature films, music has been central to the Disney storytelling experience - Not just as background, but as the emotional core of the story, the moments where characters reveal their deepest dreams, fears, and joys. The composers and lyricists who have worked with Disney over the decades - From Frank Churchill and Leigh Harline in the 1930s to Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Christophe Beck today - Have created a songbook that rivals any in the history of popular music.

Disney's Musical Legacy

The Disney Renaissance of the late 1980s and 1990s marked the golden age of the Disney musical. Composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman created a series of landmark scores beginning with "The Little Mermaid" (1989) and continuing through "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) and "Aladdin" (1992). Howard Ashman's tragic death from AIDS in 1991 cut short one of the most productive creative partnerships in Disney history. Tim Rice stepped in as Menken's lyricist for "Aladdin" and "The Lion King" (with Elton John), and the tradition continued with Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who created "Let It Go" from "Frozen" and "Remember Me" from "Coco."
