Say what you like about The House of Mouse, but damn do they know how to write a song.

From the family favourite "Heigh-Ho" in 1937 to Frozen 2's epic "Into The Unknown" just last year, Disney know how to pen a catchy tune.

This is a tip that they've shared with their frequent partners, Pixar, who have tracks like "You've Got A Friend In Me" from Toy Story and "Remember Me" from Coco to their name.

A catchy song can turn a good kids movie into a great one. It gets stuck in people's heads, gets radio play, and, most importantly to Disney, can sell a Donald Duck-tonne of merchandise.

When you put out as many classics as Disney have over the years, there are bound to be some that slip through the cracks.

The following ten song are all amazing in their own way, but don't get discussed nearly as often as they should. Some come from obscure films, some barely feature in the movie, and some have just been lost to the mysteries of time.

Well, not anymore.

Grab your pixie dust and put your hands in your purses, because it's time to head to The Magic Kingdom and examine ten songs that need to be shown a little more attention.

10. Your Heart Will Lead You Home - The Tigger Movie

Remember that cute song Tigger used to sing about how wonderful it was that "he was the only one"? Well, this movie takes that sweet thought and turns it into a full-blown existential crisis.

Tigger finally begins to wonder about his origins, so sets off in search of his "family tree" in the hope of finding others like him.

It's actually a really powerful message for a kids film and has way more edge than you'd expect from an outing in The Hundred Acre Wood.

The song that plays over the closing credits of the film is "Your Heart Will Lead You Home", written as a collaboration between the legendary Sherman brothers and the song's performer, Kenny Loggins.

Loggins is a dab-hand at the soundtrack game, having provided music for box office smashes such as Footloose and Top Gun, and he's top form once again here with this sweet - if a little schmaltzy - track to close out the film.

This ballad isn't going to set the world on fire, but it's a heart-warming way to end a heart-warming movie and ties in perfectly with the film's themes of home and family.
