    Default Best overall Disney soundtrack

    We've had a few threads about our favourite Disney tuuuuunes, but which film do you think has the best overall soundtrack?

    For me, I think I would have to say The Lion King because both the musical pieces and instrumentals are golden. But then I'm like AHHHHHHHHHHHH because The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Hercules are really close on it as well. I think what really sells Lion King as the best for me though is just how amazingly it translated to broadway and how timeless it all is. Just, so gorgeous and emotive. Disney really hit the nail on the head with it.

    What do you think? Remember, this is overall soundtrack, not favourite Disney songs!

    What about weakest soundtrack? I think Frozen was quite weak, I mean apart from a few (Let it Go) it felt a bit underwhelming to me considering the rest of the hype for the film.

    I have to give it to The Lion King as well. I can't think of a single bad track on the whole thing, and even to this day that opener still gives me chills. The Little Mermaid would probably come in second for me.

    Aladdin's the only movie that springs to mind for weakest right now. Compare to what came before and after it, it just kinda falls short aside from a couple of songs.

    Yeah, it's Lion King for me as well. The only one that comes close for me would be Aladdin, although I love The Hunchback of Notre Dame's soundtrack and also The Jungle Book's.

    Weakest I guess is Snow White? Is that even a musical? All I remember is "Hi-Ho, it's off to work we go." Cinderella isn't great either from what I remember.

    I really enjoyed the Jungle Book's music.
    Robin Hood as well was great!

    I think sleeping beauty may be the weakest.

    Enjoy being wrong, because the right answer is Nightmare Before Christmas and it always will be.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Aladdin or Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm a little biased because Aladdin has my favorite songs. But Hellfire is probably the best Disney song.

    I can't think of any weak ones that aren't musicals. I'm just going to say Snow White.

    This, though my honorary mention would go to A Goofy Movie. Even the instrumentals give you that classic John Hughes feel. Of the Renaissance era, probably Beauty and the Beast.

    This. Unless we are retroactively including Star Wars.

    Hunchback or Pocahontas. Never really liked the Lion King soundtrack, to be honest

    Shout out to Sleeping Beauty for using Tchaikovsky's ballet for its soundtrack

    THE LION KING!!!

    I doubt it will ever really be topped, pretty much every song on that soundtrack is a classic.

    Most Disney movies have one or two good songs, they don't kick it out of the park as consistently as The Lion King tho.

    Hands down Aladdin. Really like Pinocchio too, so I'd probably put that second.
