Little did he know how long his legacy would last, Walter Elias Disney created the most magical world that we could ever dream of. From princesses to animals and everything in between, Walt Disney has made an impact on generations and his legacy continues. Starting in 1937 with his creation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to opening what would later be an international theme park with twelve parks total, Walt Disney gave us the Disney World that continues to live on even after his death. In celebration of his birthday, we will be stepping back in time and looking at the most iconic songs from his original movies and reminiscing on the magical childhood that he gave us.

Our nest song is “A Whole New World” from the movie Aladdin which released in 1992. This movie brought a huge cultural differential to the Disney movie vault and has remained a classic since it’s release.
10. Hakuna Matata
“Hakuna Matata” released with Disney’s The Lion King originally in 1994. This song had hit after hit, but “Hakuna Matata” is probably one of the biggest from the soundtrack.

“Circle of Life” was another hit from the hit classic The Lion King. This song has remained a hit since the release of the movie, and really closed out the classic Disney movie circle.
