It was released through Walt Disney Records on May 26, 2009, and composed by Michael Giacchino. Up is the soundtrack album for the 2009 Disney/ Pixar animated feature film of the same name.
Honestly, though, its unrivaled position at the top of this list has more to do with the fact that its five musical numbers are "Circle of Life," "I Just Can’t Wait to Be King," "Be Prepared," "Hakuna Matata," and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." That’s an all-star collection of individual songs that will likely never be topped by Disney - or any other studio.ĭid your favorite Disney collection make the cut? Will any soundtrack ever be able to top The Lion King? Sound off in the comments section.Cover to the CD release, designed like a classic Disneyland Records album. It has the stirring orchestral songs that make Mulan special ( The Lion King's are composed by Hans Zimmer, no less), it features the celebrity contributions of Sir Elton John, and it even harkens back to the music of the golden age films by ensuring that every track featured in the movie contributes to the advancement of the plot in some meaningful way. Part of the argument for why The Lion King deserves to be the top-rated Disney soundtrack of all-time is based on the way that it represents the best qualities of nearly every other great Disney soundtrack. They are so strong, in fact, that Nightmare Before Christmas becomes one of those Disney films that inspires even multi-time viewers to sit on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the next big musical number. Those doubts were erased the moment that the film began and the citizens of Halloween Town burst into their annual rendition of "This is Halloween." In fact, you could argue that is producer Danny Elfman’s soundtrack which helps ensure the eccentric genius of Burton and Disney’s particular style were able to meet in the middle and form something special. Everyone was certainly intrigued by the prospect, but there were some doubts regarding whether or not these two creative entities could co-exist and produce something worthy of the legacies of both. When The Nightmare Before Christmas was first revealed, much of the hype surrounding it involved its animation style and the fact that Disney was partnering up with the eccentric, but undeniably creative, Tim Burton. Everyone remembers how good songs like “I’ll Make a Man Out of You Are,” but it's tracks like "The Huns Attack" which feel like they could have just as easily come from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack which really makes Mulan one of the all-time best.
Once again, the film’s biggest songs are the big stage musical pieces that everyone leaves the theaters humming, but Mulan distinguishes itself based on the strength of its orchestral numbers. Nowhere is that truer than when talking about the film’s soundtrack. Yet, shortly into the film, it becomes apparent that the reason this particular setting was chosen is because it is rich in potential. Much like Pocahontas and Aladdin, it took a look at a corner of the world or of history that you probably would have never expected Disney to look at. Mulan wasn’t technically the final film of the Disney Renaissance, but rather the last entrant into that era that felt like it retained the qualities and spirit of the movement. These are the 20 Best Disney Movie Soundtracks. There are very few Disney soundtracks that completely miss the mark, but there is a select group of soundtracks which stand tall above the rest. Not to discredit the tremendous effort it takes to craft that one Disney song that seems to echo through time, but it pales in comparison to the effort it takes to craft a collection of songs that not only sticks to your soul but so perfectly completes the narrative of the film itself. While individual Disney songs tend to stick with the studios’ legions of fans, there is something to be said for the strength of a Disney film’s overall soundtrack. No other animation studio, not even the mighty Pixar, has ever come close to matching the impossible brilliance of a Disney song. That reputation cannot be attributed to any one fact, but if you’re breaking down the element of the Disney formula that has separated them most from the competition, it's the quality of their songs. To young and old alike, the Disney name was synonymous with magic.
Actually, they were the premiere animation studio. Long before Disney purchased the rights to Marvel, Star Wars, and your childhood (coming soon), they were simply known as an animation studio.
