Credit: Inside The MagicHave you ever listened to a movie soundtrack and thought, yeah, this is the one. It seems that Disney fans have united in agreeing on one thing: which Disney film has the most incredible soundtrack? Here’s which one they all have agreed upon. Keep reading below to discover the greatest Disney film soundtrack of all time.
What Makes a Movie Soundtrack the Greatest?
Disney has pumped out several epic films since opening their studio doors in 1923. Movies like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Fantasia (1940), Mary Poppins (1964), Toy Story (1995), and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
But what makes a film good is having great directors, a phenomenal cast, memorable storytelling, and an unforgettable soundtrack.
But good music means a great composer. A great composer tells a soundtrack that fans will remember for years. Think of films like Avengers (2015), Star Wars (1977), Jurassic Park (1993), and Harry Potter (2001). Those films have music transcending time and stuck in our heads since we first watched them in theaters. You’re probably humming the Avengers (2015) theme right now.
However, sometimes a theme that can be hummed is not enough. Sometimes you need those lyrical one-offs that will stick with you forever. Think of Disney’s A Goofy Movie (1995). Powerline was a memorable character due in part to the songs from the movie.
So, choosing the most excellent Disney-specific film soundtrack must have all the above elements. One movie comes to mind when discussing this topic.

Is This the Greatest Disney Movie Soundtrack?
In 1999, Tarzan was released worldwide, capturing the hearts and souls of everyone who watched. But what Disney fans have all agreed upon is singer and composer Phil Collins truly lit things off with his soundtrack for this film.
Phil David Charles Collins is an English singer, songwriter, musician, actor, and record producer. Between 1982 and 1990, he achieved three UK and seven US number-one singles as a solo artist. It’s no wonder Disney hired him for Tarzan (1999).
Fans worldwide call Collins a ‘Disney Legend‘ as his musical work on the abovementioned film Brother Bear (2003).
Recently, in a tweet by a Disney fan, Khalia (@VERONASFILMS), the Disney Legend himself was mentioned for creating “the greatest animated movie soundtrack of all time.”
