Top Disney Songs Countdown

I found a Top 100 Disney song countdown on UltimateDisney.com, an invaluable Web site to anyone wanting to know anything Disney related, including release dates, upcoming movies, cast lists, dvd special features, etc. I thought it would be fun to share. They asked site visitors to vote on 129 songs from live-action and animated Disney features and then compiled a list of the Top 100. Here are the results. Agree? Disagree? Anything Missing?

  3. This isn't quite on the topic of your post at all... but I just saw that a course called "Disney Discourse" is being offered in the English Dept. next semester... I thought that was interesting and amusing!

    On the topic of your post: My sister and I can sing the entire "Gaston" song. All the songs from Beauty & the Beast are great! =)
