by snow white snow white and the seven dwarfs we first meet snow white when she's busy washing the steps as she goes to get more water she begins to tell the animals about wells and their magical properties [Music] we are standing by a wishing well of course she then proceeds to sing about her own wishes after all what else is one to do when face to face with a wishing well her voice is angelic and sweet which infuses this melodic song with a delicate energy the lyrics reveal how snow is longing to find her true love as luck would have it it's her voice that leads to the prince's arrival he even serenades her in response [Music] as snow white's introductory number i'm wishing gives viewers a good sense of her gentle persona and warmth number 19. i wonder by princess aurora sleeping beauty haven't we all wondered when we would find love as one of the original disney princesses aurora stands out for her operatic soprano voiced by mary costa this dreamy song sung to the birds makes us fall in love with the classic princess who actually doesn't know she's a princess at this point living in the forest with the good fairies so that she can be kept safe from the curse maleficent placed on her when she was a baby briar rose's innocence and wonder about life and nature are captured beautifully in this sweet little tune [Music] number 18 just around the river bend by pocahontas pocahontas what i love most about rivers is you can't step in the same river twice while colors of the wind is the most popular song to come out of this 1995 movie this tune deserves recognition as well what's around the river just around the riverbend pocahontas sings just around the riverbend far earlier in the film after her father tells her she's to marry kokuam she struggles with the thought of doing so she can't shake the recurring dream she's been having even though she hasn't quite deciphered its meaning yet this captivating number effectively pocahontases i want song has her using the river as a metaphor for her life should i choose the smoothest course steady as the beating drum she's grappling with which path to take the steady one or the one filled with an excitement she can't yet fathom needless to say it's riveting from start to finish number 17 do you want to build a snowman by anna frozen do you want to be a snowman this number tells the story of two sisters torn apart through the years do you wanna build a snowman come on let's go and play who amongst us isn't moved to tears when anna asks elsa if she wants to build a snowman only to be shut down she doesn't know that her big sister wants to protect her we used to be best buddies and now we're not i wish you would tell me why as they get older anna keeps trying to get elsa's attention she fails each time and has to find creative ways to entertain herself but the biggest gut punch comes when their parents die elsa please i know you're in there afraid of her powers elsa isolates herself leaving anna alone the heart of this movie is undoubtedly the relationship between the sisters this heartbreaking song wonderfully showcases that while simultaneously bringing viewers up to the present day timeline do you want to build a snowman number 16 speechless by princess jasmine aladdin written in stone every rule every word centuries old and unbending in aladdin's live-action remake princess jasmine is a well-rounded woman who cares deeply for her people she is smart and capable though jafar would have her believe otherwise the princess delivers a powerful performance when she sings the song about a woman speaking up despite society telling her not to i can't stay silent though [Music] the tune is divided into two parts throughout the film at first she's scared but she knows she has to challenge those trying to silence her all i know [Music] the number really hits its peak in part 2 though both melodically and lyrically [Music] it marks the moment when jasmine steps into her voice to take a stand against jafar this is her shining moment and we love watching every minute of her becoming a powerful leader for agrabah [Music] number 15 god help the outcasts by esmeralda the hunchback of notre dame i don't know if you can hear me this 1996 disney movie is at its core about how being different is a good [Music] thing [Music] esmeralda understands this better than anyone so she refuses to sit back and watch as the town ridicules quasimodo at the feast of fools much to frollo's dismay she stands up to him but gets sanctuary at the church before he can arrest her as she wanders its halls she begins to sing this hauntingly beautiful tune where she pleads for help not just for her but also for those who are tossed aside by society [Music] and just like quasimodo we were absolutely mesmerized by her performance number 14 true love's kiss by giselle enchanted i've been dreaming of a true love's kiss and a prince i'm hoping comes with this giselle sings this cheerful tune about wanting to find her prince and true love's kiss at the beginning of the movie it does a great job of establishing her fun and somewhat naive you personality through true love not to mention it also acts as a catalyst for the events of the movie towards the end of the number prince edward shows up and sings with her [Music] they decide to get married but she gets banished to new york city by his evil stepmother instead while there she infuses joy everywhere she goes as evidenced by the epic that's how you know group number [Music] she also grows tremendously by the end everyone realizes love isn't as simple as they thought which results in a modern twist on happily ever after i've been dreaming of a true love's kiss he sings too number 13 belle reprise by belle beauty and the beast not me i guarantee it i want much more than this sure we've all fantasized about singing through the streets of our hometown saying hello to everyone we pass and as the village people sing bonjour it's hard to resist joining in during the movie's opening number while belle has received widespread acclaim it is a group affair so it's the reprise in which belle on her own sings of her desire for something greater that gets this spot [Music] recalling the sound of music as we find both singers on hills in billowing dresses this little ditty is both emotional and hopeful at the same time much like belle herself and for once it might be grand to have someone understand i want so much more than they've got number 12 someday my prince will come by snow white snow white and the seven dwarfs he was [Music] snow white has one of the most iconic and recognizable voices of all the disney princesses in what's the first disney animated feature film this song is first sung to the dwarfs and describes the titular character's dream of meeting and marrying her prince and living happily ever after ranked within the top 20 of the american film institute's list of the 100 greatest songs in movie history it's dainty pretty and oh so fitting for snow white [Music] number 11 for the first time in forever by anna and elsa frozen the window is open so is that door i didn't know they did that anymore who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates coronation day is a big deal in arendelle sure the fact that elsa is ascending to the throne is a momentous occasion but for anna that's not the best part of the day what makes it special for her is that the castle doors will be open [Music] she'll finally have the chance to socialize with people who aren't paintings this prospect terrifies elsa which we briefly hear about in the first version of the song but it is what her little sister has been longing for for years so that's what we see as anna runs around singing for the first time in forever an upbeat melody filled with hope anticipation and some humor she's understandably bursting with pure excitement at the thought of meeting new people and possibly even falling in love nothing's in my way number ten show yourself by elsa frozen too every inch of me is trembling [Music] while frozen centered around elsa understanding her powers and reconnecting with anna the sequel takes a deeper look at their family's history an unknown voice reaches out to elsa she's reluctant but tempted to embark on a new adventure as evidenced by her powerful rendition of into the unknown [Music] [Applause] ultimately she anna and the rest of the group embark on a journey of self-discovery [Music] [Music] it comes to a head when elsa makes it to otta holland the river of ice set to hold the answers to the past there she learns who she is as she sings show yourself a song that is emotionally charged to put it mildly it's a moment of joy and vulnerability that is incredibly stirring and touching to watch number nine how far i'll go by moana moana i've been staring at the edge of the water long as i can remember never really knowing why [Music] moana voiced by only crevallo sings this song as she grapples with how she yearns to explore the waters the ocean calls to her and she can sense in her bones that she is destined to be a voyager this tune is the expression of that feeling mixed with the fact that she knows it goes against the rules her father has set but once her grandmother gives her her blessing on her deathbed moana follows her intuition and sets off on a voyage to save her people this is when we get to hear the tunes equally mesmerizing reprise [Laughter] [Music] these refrains do a wonderful job at showing how deep her desire to go beyond the reef is and makes us want to sing along number eight a dream is a wish your heart makes by cinderella cinderella dream is a wish your heart [Music] [Applause] [Music] who can resist a cinderella story this rags to rich's tale features one of disney's most iconic songs [Music] notable for both its tune and message a dream is a wish your heart makes has cinderella singing to her animal friends about the power of hope and optimism with respect to making your dreams come true as it may be this theme runs throughout the film and reappears in other disney movies and ultimately sets the tone making us root for cinderella all the way to her happily ever after [Music] [Laughter] cinderella's enchanting solo isn't the only time the princess's singing chops are on display in the film [Music] who could forget the juxtaposition between her and her stepsister's voice in sing sweet nightingale maybe i should interrupt the music lesson number seven i won't say i'm in love by megura the matter with me you'd think a girl would learn this is one of the more unconventional love songs in the disney universe which is what makes it so captivating if there's a prize for rotten judgment [Music] i guess i've already won the megara knows she has feelings for hercules but she doesn't want to admit it for fear of getting hurt again she's essentially singing about pushing away what's in her heart no chance this is vastly different from most other songs that feature princesses leaning into the possibility of love but as the muses make clear with their charming background vocals there is no running from the fact that she is in love i will say i'm in love [Music] not only is it a catchy song but it also provides important insight into megura's personality and the wall she puts up to protect herself [Music] number six when will my life begin by rapunzel tangled 7 am the usual morning line up start on the chores and sweep through the floor's all clean this contemporary disney show tune has a modern pop feel and is hard to resist in the first scene of the movie audiences get a glimpse of rapunzel's memorable golden locks and see how innovative the disney character gets with her hair maybe [Music] famous pop artist mandy moore lends her voice to the lead character and sings this memorable i want song in tangled's opening the kidnapped and imprisoned princess who has yet to know these things about herself describes her daily ritual in this optimistic fun and catchy number that perfectly sets the tone of the film number five almost there by tiana the princess and the frog i don't have time for dancing that's just gonna have to wait a while this catchy jazz number makes you want to get up and dance unlike most of the disney princess songs almost there doesn't have tiana singing about finding a man instead she's dreaming of opening her own restaurant and following her father's advice she is one of the few female leads reluctant to get romantically entwined [Music] this solo by the progressive princess who technically only earns the royal title when she marries prince naveen became such a celebrated number that it was nominated for an oscar for best original song number four let it go by elsa frozen the snow glows white on the mountain tonight not a footprint to be seen a kingdom of isolation and it looks like i'm the queen there's probably not a parent child or disney fan on earth who hasn't heard this relentlessly catchy tune sung by elsa after she leaves her kingdom in fear that her icy powers will hurt the one she loves this liberating number reached the top five on the billboard hot 100 list and won both an oscar for best original song and a grammy for best song written for visual media [Music] [Music] thanks to adina menzel's powerful vocal performance and the track's importance to elsa herself this is a show tune we just simply can't let go the coal never bothered me anyway number three colors of the wind by pocahontas pocahontas think you own whatever land you land on the earth is just a dead thing you can claim this motivational song presents the world as a living entity where everything in nature is connected unlike other princess songs this one sees pocahontas singing to enlighten the male lead rather than to woo him colors of the wind won all the major awards including the oscar and golden globe for best original song [Music] featured and covered by countless artists across the disney universe and beyond this celebrated disney track wouldn't be as timeless as it is without its poetic nature and its memorable presentation of the native american point of view [Music] [Applause] number two reflection by pha mulan mulan look at me i will never pass for a perfect bride though this heartfelt ballad was recorded by then 17 year old christina aguilera and peaked within the top 20 of the billboard adult contemporary chart it's the original movie version by filipina artist leia salonga that we're talking about here though i've tried while ming nawen does an excellent job as follow on speaking voice it's salanga who takes the reigns when it comes time to sing reflection sees
