2. “When You Wish Upon a Star” from Pinocchio
“When You Wish Upon a Star” doesn’t have that upbeat nature I’m obviously so smitten with, but it’s a song that has become so synonymous with the overall brand you almost forget it originated in a movie. Now it’s just kind of the quintessential Disney song: one that makes you feel happy and like anything is possible. That legacy is why it ranks so high. (Music and lyrics by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington, performed by Cliff Edwards)
