Originally, when I planned on writing this article, I
was going to take all live action films and compare
and contrast the ratings of their soundtracks vs the
original Disney movies. Well, needless to say that
times have changed and the new movies don’t have
soundtracks, they have playlists or individual songs
that may or may not have done as well, and they sure
as heck were not as popular as the original Disney
movies. Therefore, I am highlighting for you the original
Disney movie songs that came up over and over
again in the research, thus prompting my belief that
these must be the top rated songs in the franchise.

Corporation.
Note: If we were going off of the most popular song/
soundtrack of all Disney films, Frozen’s “Let It Go” would be
listed here. However, this list is based on movies that have
been turned into Live Action features.
#1: The Lion King
Naturally, Disney’s highest grossing animated feature would
also have the highest selling/charting soundtrack. It came up
on every single list we found which leads us to believe it may
be your favorite, too. Soundtrack includes: “Circle of Life”;
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”; Hakuna Matata; “Just Can’t
Wait to Be King”; “Be Prepared”, and many more.
The live action film didn’t add many songs that you could sing
along with, but it did include “Spirit” by Beyonce.
