15 Disney Songs Sure To Trigger Nostalgia

5. €œSomeday My Prince Will Come€ - Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length cel animation film and was produced by Walt Disney himself. €œSomeday My Prince Will Come€ was composed by Frank Churchill and written by Larry Morey, and performed by Adriana Caselotti in the film.

It was truly a trailblazer for Disney music and a remains a beacon for nostalgia.

4. €œA Whole New World€ - Aladdin (1992)

http://youtu.be/-kl4hJ4j48s €œA Whole New World€ is one of Disney€™s most decorated songs. Composed by Alan Menken and written by Tim Rice, it not only won an Oscar for Best Original Song, but a pop version of the tune also topped the Billboard Top 100. In the film, the song is a soaring melody that breaks the restraints of Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, who are voiced by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga. It is accompanied by some dazzling visuals as the two lovebirds traverse the world on a magic carpet ride. The song is a nostalgic bonanza that emphasizes the desire for independence from their social stations and the opportunity for new and exciting adventures together. It is thrilling ride for the audience as well.
