Marathon Weekend 2026

SAFD:
1. Lion King. Masterpiece, the rhythm of the songs is so supportive of the characters, original and fun.
2. Tie between Mulan & Moana
3. Mary Poppins, a classic that reflects Walt Disney

SAFD:

1) Hercules
2) Moana
3) tie between A Goofy Movie (Powerline has some bangers), Lilo & Stitch (Elvis, duh!), and Encanto (Surface Pressure is the best song, and What Else Can I Do? is always a pick-me-up)

SAFD: So difficult! I was tempted to cheat and vote by era but I won’t take the easy way out (and even that would have been tough)

I have to go with 3 movies that rekindled my love for Disney.

1 - Lion King - Elton John’s music here is as perfect as you get for a musical. Bonus points that it’s one of my favorite Broadway Musicals (Hamilton actually being my favorite- am I allowed to vote for it because it’s on Disney+)

2 - Aladdin

3 - The Little Mermaid (with Beauty and the Beast as an honorable mention)

And SO MANY MORE!

SAFD:

Encanto (Surface Pressure is the best song

Yes! The version by Plain White T’s is a mainstay right now in my running playlist

SAFD: SOOOO HARD!!!!
1. Mary Poppins
2. Beauty and the Beast
3. Tough call…I’m between Moana, Encanto, and Aladdin. It depends on the day, which I would choose. Probably have to give the edge to Aladdin though, as my oldest had it on repeat when he was a little guy. Very sentimental.

SAFD:

1. Encanto-This is really bizarre for me, because I’ve intentionally stopped trying to keep up with music, but it’s one of the newest entries in the Disney musical lore that has my heart. I love all of the songs. Just hits all the right notes for me.

2. Little Mermaid- Music carries the film. “Part of Your World” is the quintessential Disney song of my childhood. I will ride Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid multiple times in a row when it’s a walk-on (so basically every time I’m in MK) just to hear the music multiple times.

3. Princess and the Frog- Another where the music really makes the movie for me.

Spoilt for choice though, really, I could name another 10 movies and feel bad I left something out. I do think Frozen has started to become underrated because it was and is so ubiquitous; it gets my only named honorable mention.

@camaker Does Star Wars or Marvel count?

 

[DianaMB333]

Encanto! How could I forget this one!
Tks

SAFD:
1. Little Mermaid
2. Beauty and the Beast
3. Mary Poppins

I really want to put Lion King, Jungle Book, Tarzan, Aladdin, and many more on there. Only having three spots is too hard.

Does King Louie count as a villain for the purpose of best villain song? (Asking for DH).
