http://youtu.be/EnqgROXTSFw Here it is: the champion of breeding Disney nostalgia. The inherent power of When You Wish Upon a Star to induce childhood reminiscence is so great that The Walt Disney Company itself has essentially made the song its theme song. The song was written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington and sung in the film by Jiminy Cricket, played by Cliff Edwards, and won an Oscar in 1940 for Best Original Song. The Library of Congress is so nostalgic about this song that it enshrined it in the National Recording Registry in 2009. When You Wish Upon a Star is a tribute to the power of hope and imagination and is instantly recognizable to people around the world. It is an eternal reminder to never give up on your dreams.
