She will do anything to fulfill her dream, to become human, despite the warnings of her father king Triton. The song "Under the Sea" is a plea by Sebastian, a crab and a servant of King Triton, asking Ariel to remain in the sea. Sebastian is voiced by Samuel E. Wright in the film and the TV series.

Hans Zimmer was responsible for the score and the original songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice.

The story of "The Lion King" was inspired by Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and by elements from Biblical stories of Moses, and Joseph, and the 1942 film "Bambi". The movie, set in the kingdom Pride Lands, in Africa, tells the story of lion cub Simba, who was supposed to succeed his father as King. However, his uncle murders the king and makes Simba believe he is responsible for his father's death, forcing him to go into exile.

"Can You Feel the Love Tonight", written by Elton John and Tim Rice, received numerous awards including the 67th Academy Awards, and topped the charts when it was released. In the film, the song is the theme of love between Simba and Nala. According to Elton John, the song expresses the feeling between the characters better than any dialogue.

It depicts the Arabic street urchin, Aladdin, who finds a magic lamp containing a genie, who helps him transform himself into a rich prince, with the intent of conquering the sultan's daughter, Jasmine, who lives in confinement.

The song "A Whole New World" was recorded by the singers Brad Kane and Lea Salonga, as a duet between Aladdin and Jasmine. In addition to talking about the love between the two, Aladdin describes the wonders of life in freedom as they fly on a magic carpet.

The film received Best Score and Best Song at the 65th Academy Awards. A single version of the song "A Whole New Word" was recorded by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle, and appears over the film's end credits and is referred to as "Alladin's theme".

"The Wizard of Oz" (1939) was produced in Technicolor by MGM. Mervyn LeRoy was in charge of production, and direction was by Victor Fleming and later by King Vidor.

The song "Over the Rainbow" was performed by Judy Garland, in her starring role as Dorothy Gale.

The script was based on the children's novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", authored by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, the first novel in the "Oz" series of books. Dorothy, the Kansas farm girl, and her dog Toto were transported by a tornado to the Land of Oz and were only released when they destroyed the Wicked Witch of the West.

The screenplay is by Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi; the songs were written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. Irwin Kostal arranged and conducted the film's score.

The script was based on P. L. Traver's children's book series "Mary Poppins" published in 1934. The main character is Mary Poppins, played by Julie Andrews, an English nanny with magical powers used to improve the dynamics of the dysfunctional family she works for.

The film received five Academy Awards, including Best Music Score and Best Song. The winning song was "Chim Chim Cher-ee", with music and lyrics by Richard and Robert Sherman. It was inspired by the drawing of a chimney sweep by the film's screenwriter, who explained that in British folklore, shaking his hand or touching his sleeve could bring good luck.
8. "Pinocchio" (1940)

Answer: When You Wish Upon a Star

Pinocchio, 1940, is one of Walt Disney's most beloved movies, with innovative animation effects and a compelling story. It was produced by Ben Sharpsteen and Hamilton Luske; Leigh Harline and Paul J. Smith were responsible for the score and Harline and Ned Washington composed "When You Wish Upon a Star", the main song of the film.

The film, based on Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio", tells the adventures of a wooden puppet created by the woodcarver Geppetto, who wishes it was a real boy, to replace his deceased son. A good fairy brings Pinocchio to life, but he must prove that he is truthful, brave, and selfless. On his adventures, Pinocchio is accompanied by his insect friend, Jiminy Cricket, who is also his conscience.

At the 13th Academy Awards, the movie "Pinocchio" won two awards: Best Original Score and Best Original Song: "When You Wish Upon a Star", which was performed by Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) in the opening of the film.
9. "Holiday Inn" (1942)

Answer: White Christmas

"Holiday Inn", 1942, is an American musical film directed and produced by Mark Sandrich, with story and music by Irving Berlin, starring Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and others. In the film, two friends, a crooner, and a dancer, compete for the love of a rising star. Irving Berlin wrote twelve new songs for the film and reused some others.

There is not much certainty about when the song "White Christmas" was written, but it only comes to light when Irving Berlin had to write a song about each of the major holidays of the year. Due to his Jewish background, it was not easy to conceive a song about Christmas. However, the song was a hit, especially in the version with Bing Crosby.

The film received the 15th Academy Award for Best Original Song for "White Christmas". What was unusual about this Oscar ceremony was that Irving Berlin was in charge of presenting the Academy Award for Best Original Song and received the award by his own hand.
10. "Out of Africa" (1985)

Answer: I Had a Farm in Africa

"Out of Africa" (1985) is an American romantic drama film produced and directed by Sydney Pollack, with music by British composer and conductor John Barry. Kurt Luedtke wrote the script primarily based on the 1937 Karen Blixen-Finecke autobiographical book "Out of Africa".

The film is based on events that occurred between 1913 and 1931, in the life of Karen Blixen, while living in Africa where she moved to after a marriage of convenience. She settled near Nairobi, Kenya, and faced a series of difficulties with her property, her marriage, syphilis her husband passed to her, and her romance with Denys Finch Hatton.

The film won seven of the 58th Academy Awards, including Best Original Score, which includes African traditional songs, Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, and others. The main title song is "I Had a Farm in Africa" by John Barry.
