What Disney Musical has the Best Soundtrack? 

Hunchback, no contest

I love watching siblings just vibe and share something they enjoy.

Oh please I would LOVE a Wish Rant video 🙌 would love to get your personal perspective on it

My top three Disney renaissance soundtracks are: 1. Beauty & The Beast 2. Hunchback of Notre Dame (I like to pretend that the gargoyle song doesn’t exist 😭) 3. Hercules I also think that Beauty & the Beast is Disney’s best animated film.

Please, please do a ranking/discussion of the Disney *scores*! Alan Menken's scores in particular are way under appreciated and under talked about and I would love to hear your thoughts. 🙂 Excellent work as usual; you guys' passion and insights are always so engaging and I always know your video will be top notch. 👍 Where do I find friends like you guys? haha

Hunchback is my #1 Disney film of all time. I don't mind the gargoyles. 'They provide much needed levity, someone for Quasimodo to talk with, and to give the audience information.

Hunchback 🙌🏼

Lol the Hazbin mention was such a suprise. Your thoughts on it would be so fascinating. Awesome video as always!

A Goofy Movie produced two of the greatest songs they've ever made. They can stand alone as 90s hits.

all the gushing about Hercules reminds me a lot of the B-mask video on it.

love the vibes of this one. I'd love to see another like it, maybe listing best/worst villains, heroes, love stories, etc

I LOVE GO THE DISTANCE my brother sings it everywhere its so beautiful i love the french horn learned to play it

The only answer I will accept is Robin Hood. "Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest...". and also a complete 180 to "Not in Nottingham".. Both catchy AF and easy to sing along with.

Fav to least fav music of the Disney Renaissance Era: The Hunchback of Notre Dame Beauty and the Beast Aladdin The Lion King Hercules Pocahontas Mulan Tarzan The Little Mermaid The Rescuers Down Under (My opinion seems to change over time, so the order changes, but the top 3 seem to stay the same.)

Jafar kinda sorta does have a villain song. It's called "Why Me?" and even though it ROCKS, it sadly didn't make it into the final movie. Thankfully, you can listen to it on RU-vid and find the odd fanmade animatic for the sequence. And yeah, I know about "Humiliate The Boy" too... but I like the other one more.

i love this video so much, i just love the renaissance, i love musicals, and i love the craft of good musicals that was so often on display in these films that i cant really discuss with anyone irl cause no one cares rip. rhank you for feeding me well lol :) also i agree, beauty and the beast is just... perfect, idk what i can say about howard ashman and how he changed the world of disney and musicals omggg

Either TLK, Hunchback, or BatB - pretty much depends on the criteria though

To our friend Howard, who gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul, we will be forever greatful.

The gargoyle's song is so good! The way I interpret it is that the gargoyles are a figment of Quasi's imagination and so the song is kinda just him gushing over his crush Esmeralda the way people do when they are in love with someone.

I'd love to see more of Morgan and the rest of your family. 😊 Beauty & the Beast is my number 1. The music in the opening scene still gives me goosebumps. If it wasn't for those damned gargoyles, Hunchback would be a close 2nd.

More videos like this for sure! I love this format and the obvious love you both have for great music and movies.

Oh, this was epic. I wish I hadn’t judged it upon its posting. Both of your rambling was excellent to listen to.

I completely forgot about the gargoyles in hunchback which is probably why it’s my favorite

About Toto: What you want are two 10" in a closed box ( you're looking for a tight hit here ) with clean highs and mids pushed by at least 1500w. Then put on Africa while driving the beltway very late at night. Enjoy.

I would have sub'd Poco for Robin Hood. So many catchy folk like melodies any day over maybe 3 good-decent songs. Still a great list and gotta agree with a lot of the points you both made!

HUNCHBACK IS ALWAYS NUMBAH ONE IN MY HAWT

I absolutely loved your hellfire video! I would love to know your thoughts on the whole movie and soundtrack.

I’d have to say overall, hunchback, beauty and the beast, lion king, and Mulan are my favorites of the renaissance era soundtracks (emperors new groove solos. Source: just trust me bro it solos XD) hunchback is just breathtakingly spectacular and grandiose, I’m so mad that it’s the one renaissance film that I didn’t grow up with because it’s just brilliant in its score. Beauty and the beast is very very very close to one but I just don’t really listen to beauty and the beasts soundtrack as much as I listen to hunchbacks. And lion king…….i mean it speaks for itself honestly what do I even say it’s gorgeous. Hans zimmer being Hans zimmer indeed. And Mulan- wait a bit, the soldier in the mountains line is very good I love it I quote it all the time, BUT WE ALL FORGETTING BOTH THE “all of china knows you’re here. Hun leader: good.” LINE AND THE “how many men does it take to deliver a message?” LINE AND WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS SLANDER- anyways the soundtrack is good lmao

This is a HUGE undertaking, but you could watch all 62 movies by Walt Disney Animation Studios and rank them. I did that, and I'm working on a series of videos going over my ranking

Mark Mancina's contributions for the Lion King soundtrack is so underrated, also his soundtrack for Bad Boys is a classic

Hercules is the best Disney movie and soundtrack. Criminally underrated 1. Hercules 2. Beauty 3. Lion 4. Mulan 5. Mermaid 6. Hunchback 7. Poco 8. Aladdin

This has nothing to do with music, but...emperor's new groove.

30:33 the best Disney live action adaptations and the only that deserved to be made are Cinderella (because that movie was BEAUTIFULLY done and added so much to the original story without disrespecting it) and the Off-Broadway adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame because THEY GOT RID OF THAT GOD AWFUL GARGOYLE SONG (and overall it plays with the gargoyles being figments of his imagination). They also made Quasimodo almost completely deaf because he lives with the bells. Overall, it gets much more material out of the book (the finale, Quasi being deaf, Frollo being the archdeacon, Phoebus being a badboy (though thank God not as a war criminal as in the book), Clopin being more of a father figure to Esmeralda, just to name a few changes). Plus, Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken (the original lyricist and composer) wrote the new songs, so they keep the original spirit with some breathtaking melodies. The entr'acte gives me chills. Also PATRICK PAGE AS FROLLO I MEAN IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER. and outside of Disney... Anastasia is one of the best animated-to-stage adaptations ever. It changes A LOT of the story but oh Lord does it improve it.

I think the one thing we've established after getting to the Tarzan part of the video is that you both need to release covers of the songs presented from the list

HoND, I accept no other answers. That said others are still but HoND is on another level!

I don't mind the gargoyles in Hunchback. That being said I think they were used WAY TOO MUCH. Like we didn't need Hugo blowing kisses at Djali, them trying to figure out what Esmeralda said about Frollo, "hurry we gotta stash the stiff" those things could've been cut & they wouldn't have been so overbearing

1.lion king 2.aladdin 3.beauty and the beast 4.mulan These were my favorite in terms in just animation alone 😁

You can see Mason silently fuming when Morgan ranked Hunchback lmao

I like all the ideas: different eras, live actions, etc. I'd watch all of them! ❤ I'm sad for Mulan ranking so low for both of you, it has one of my favorite soundtracks, also the way the tonal shift is connected to the singing/non singing is brilliant - but I might have a slight bias towards it because the songs were translated in the golden age of Hungarian dub production and some parts resonate better in Hungarian than English (especially Make a Man) in my opinion... And my least favorite song of all those mentioned is Go the Distance but my favorite is I won't say I'm in Love, so I'm very conflicted about where I would rank Hercules. 🤔

Im also waiting for YMS Lion King part 2 review

You mentioned videos by a bunch of other channels in this video, any chance of links, please?

Alrighty my ranking of the Disney musical soundtracks! 1. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (If you take out A Guy Like You) 2. Beauty and the Beast 3. The Nightmare Before Christmas 4. Moana 5. Aladdin 6. The Little Mermaid 7. Hercules 8. The Lion King 9. Encanto 10. The Princess and The Frog 11. Frozen 12. Mary Poppins 13. Tarzan 14. Tangled 15. Mulan 16. Frozen 2 17. Pocahontas 18. Wish

This was a good video but I was disappointed that the rest of the score didn't factor into the "soundtrack" rankings! Would love to hear more thoughts on the scores themselves. I loved your video on composers so I feel it would be a good fit!

I was but a tiny bab first watching Pocahontas for the first time, I'm England and it was my intro to native Americans and Settler-Native relations. we get a very simplistic understanding on the settling of America and native Americans taught to us here too. probably worse because it "American" history and not considered ours

So close with the Newsies and Hazbin Hotel connection. But the Newsies with Christian Bale is not the direct connection of Hazbin Hotel. He starred in the Broadway production and the Pantages Theater filmed performance. (I'm sure you learned that as you put his name in but just as a clarification for everyong else :3) Also "I Want" songs were a thing before The Little Mermaid but they cemented themselves in the Disney musical structure with "Part of Your World"

My knee jerk reaction is Hunchback but… honestly everything in Aladdin is iconic. So if we consider ALL songs in a film, Aladdin for me. But Hellfire and Bells of Notradam are peak

OKEY i literally stopped the video to go message my mom who ive been trying to educate on animated movies and shows for like 5 years now since i started studying animation in college. I made her watch beauty and the beast a few weeks ago and she liked it, not her fave but liked it (she likes almost exclusively 3d movies) but hearing you say B&tB is film magic, animation magic, which i agree 100% its my fav disney movie. AND THE AUDACITY DISNEY HAD TO BRING IT BACK AS A DEEP WEB TRASH COPY AS A LIVE ACTION (i wont even say remake cus no) AND RUIN IT. I have so many anger in me about that film... I was excited when it came out and ive never been so disappointed in my life like when i came out of the theatre.

All of them are so good Mulan was near at the bottom 😭

1. Beauty and the Beast 2. Hercules 3. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (ignoring "A Guy Like You") 4. The Lion King 5. The Little Mermaid 6. Tarzan 7. Pocahontas 8. Aladdin 9. Mulan

big big love to all the hunchback besties in the comments

For Aladdin I usually skip A Whole New World and my favorite is One Jump Ahead 😂

I can’t take the Pocahontas slander 😖😤

There is one song in Beauty & the Beast that I'd say is not a banger: Human Again. Great animation but an ultimately superfluous song that damages the pacing (as do basically all the special edition changes) and is just kind of mediocre to listen to. At least I know now to just watch the cinematic edition from now on and never touch the special edition again.

Everyone knows it’s Oliver & Company, stop denying

No Goofy movie? The disrespect lol

Babe, you’ve seen Newsies the musical, which is bad. Watch the movie musical from the 90’s. Not even Jeremy Jordan could make that awful Broadway musical good.

Who is that handsome man in your video 👁️🫦👁️ 🤤 I need his number rn so we can do more than just talk about the best Disney movie soundtrack if you know what I mean 🫣🤭
