Hey there, Disney lovers! It’s me, The Dapper Danielle, your resident Disney enthusiast and podcast host of the hit Disney Countdown podcast! You know, the one where we geek out over everything from princesses to pixie dust? Well, today, I’m bringing you a super special list that I know you’re going to love: my personal picks for the Top 10 Disney Movie Soundtracks of All Time!

Let’s be honest here—Disney soundtracks are iconic. They’re the tunes we sing in the shower, in the car, and sometimes definitely when we’re alone in our living rooms (no shame, I see you!). Whether it’s the soaring ballads, catchy tunes, or the deep emotional vibes, Disney music has a way of sticking with us for life.

So grab your nearest hairbrush, throw on your best “Let It Go” vocal warm-up, and let’s dive into my ultimate Disney soundtrack countdown!

10

Cinderella 1950

I mean, come on! Cinderella‘s soundtrack is the very definition of “classic Disney”. From the very first note of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes”, you’re transported to a world of fairy godmothers, pumpkins, and glass slippers. And don’t even get me started on “So This Is Love”—it’s one of the most romantic Disney songs ever. It’s like the perfect soundtrack to get lost in a fairy tale… if your fairy tale is full of mice, pumpkins, and magically transformed gowns, that is.

Best Song: “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” (Cue the glitter and sparkles!)
Vibe: Whimsical, romantic, and classically magical.

Robin Hood 1973

Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned adventure with a side of folk tunes? Robin Hood’s soundtrack is a bit of an underrated gem in the Disney vault. With its lively tunes like “Oo-De-Lally” and “Not in Nottingham”, you can practically hear the arrow flying through the air as you tap your toes along to the beat. Plus, it’s got that perfect blend of cheeky humor and heart—this soundtrack might just make you want to be an outlaw for a day (or maybe just wear a feather in your cap).

Best Song: “Oo-De-Lally” (You’re singing it now, aren’t you?)
Vibe: Fun, folksy, and full of (wild) adventure.

8

Beauty and the Beast 1991

Is there anyone who doesn’t get chills when they hear the opening notes of “Beauty and the Beast”? (Answer: No, there is not.) This soundtrack is pure magic, from the enchanting “Be Our Guest” to the beautiful title song sung by Angela Lansbury. The blend of romance, grandeur, and elegance in these tracks makes this soundtrack one of the most beloved Disney scores of all time. It’s the soundtrack to your dream ball—literally.

Best Song: “Be Our Guest” (Let’s all be a little more fabulous, shall we?)
Vibe: Elegant, magical, and totally Broadway-worthy.

7

Winnie the Pooh 2011

Okay, here’s a little known fact: this soundtrack is ridiculously cute, and I’m 100% here for it. From the charming “Winnie the Pooh” theme song (which, let’s be honest, you’re humming now) to the feel-good “A Honey Happy Ending”, this soundtrack is the definition of adorable. It’s sweet, light, and fluffy—just like the bear himself—and every track will leave you with a smile on your face. It’s the musical equivalent of cozying up with honey and your favorite stuffed animal.

Best Song: “Winnie the Pooh” (You know the one—“Pooh Bear, we love you!”)
Vibe: Gentle, playful, and overflowing with sweetness.

6

The Princess and the Frog 2009

Let’s talk about the jazz. The Princess and the Frog brought New Orleans to life through its music, and I’m all in. With tracks like “Almost There” and “Down in New Orleans”, this soundtrack is both jazzy and joyful, and it gets you right in the groove. Tiana’s big ballad “Dig a Little Deeper” will have you swaying in your seat while simultaneously inspiring you to go after your dreams (with a spoonful of sass, of course). It’s a perfect blend of heart, soul, and all the good stuff.

Best Song: “Almost There” (Dreams do come true!)
Vibe: Jazzy, vibrant, and full of soul.

5

Inside Out 2015

Now, if you’re looking for a soundtrack that’ll hit you right in the feels, then Inside Out is your go-to. Michael Giacchino’s score perfectly captures the emotional journey of Riley and her emotions, and let’s just say, “Lava”—that little short song about a lonely volcano—might just break your heart in the best possible way. This soundtrack has all the highs and lows, and it’s a soundtrack you won’t forget anytime soon. Oh, and the music? Gorgeous.

Best Song: “Lava” (Do not try to keep it together—it’s impossible.)
Vibe: Heartfelt, emotional, and deeply reflective.

4

Mary Poppins 1964

What do you get when you mix supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with “A Spoonful of Sugar”? A classic Disney soundtrack that is a must-have in any music collection. Mary Poppins is the soundtrack for all your whimsical dreams, from the high-energy “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to the heartwarming “Feed the Birds” (seriously, I tear up every time). It’s not just fun—it’s enchanting, uplifting, and a little bit magical.

Best Song: “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” (Seriously, you’ve gotta try saying it five times fast.)
Vibe: Whimsy, charm, and a dash of magic.

3

Coco 2017

“Remember Me”—I dare you to listen to that song without tearing up. This entire soundtrack is a heartfelt tribute to family, culture, and remembering where you come from. With songs like “Un Poco Loco” and the incredibly moving “Remember Me”, this soundtrack will have you dancing one minute and crying the next. It’s vibrant, soulful, and, let’s be honest, unforgettable.

Best Song: “Remember Me” (Cue the tears. Yes, again.)
Vibe: Colorful, emotional, and totally unforgettable.

2

Lilo & Stitch 2002

Let’s just get this out of the way: Lilo & Stitch has one of the best soundtracks ever. Featuring an epic mix of Elvis Presley classics and Hawaiian tunes, this soundtrack is as quirky and fun as the movie itself. Tracks like “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” will have you singing along while you imagine surfing under a tropical sunset. But it’s not all fun and games—there are emotional moments too, like the song “Aloha ‘Oe”, which tugs at your heartstrings every time.

Best Song: “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” (Surf’s up, baby!)
Vibe: Fun, funky, and full of island spirit.

Moana 2016

And now, the one that truly takes the crownMoana! From the moment “How Far I’ll Go” starts playing, you know you’re in for an adventure. The soundtrack, composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa’i, and Mark Mancina, is packed with empowering anthems and soul-stirring ballads that make you want to set sail across the ocean, find your destiny, and definitely sing at the top of your lungs. Whether it’s “You’re Welcome” or the beautiful “We Know the Way”, this soundtrack is the ultimate blend of adventure, inspiration, and feel-good vibes.

Best Song: “How Far I’ll Go” (Let’s sail away, friends!)
Vibe: Empowering, adventurous, and absolutely legendary.
