Disney Song Quiz

Disney animated films are as famous for their music as for their animation and storytelling. From the Golden Age of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty through the Disney Renaissance of The Little Mermaid and The Lion King to modern hits like Frozen and Encanto, Disney songs have become some of the most beloved pieces of music in pop culture history. Many were composed by legendary songwriters including the Sherman Brothers, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Disney's Greatest Musical Moments

The Disney Renaissance (1989 - 1999) produced an extraordinary run of musical films: The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Pocahontas (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Hercules (1997), Mulan (1998), and Tarzan (1999). "Beauty and the Beast" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, as did "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from The Lion King and "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. Pixar films also feature remarkable music, from Randy Newman's Toy Story songs to Michael Giacchino's Up score.

Frozen's "Let It Go" became a global phenomenon in 2013, winning the Oscar and breaking streaming records. Encanto's "We Don't Talk About Bruno" surpassed "Let It Go" as the most-streamed Disney animated song ever. Music across genres has been transformed by Disney - Alan Menken's work drew on Broadway traditions, while Encanto's Lin-Manuel Miranda brought hip-hop and Latin rhythms to Disney animation.
