Editor's Note: List last updated April 4, 2016.

What's your favourite Disney song? Maybe it's that romance ballad that warms your heart, or that Broadway-esque number you like to stumble through at the top of your lungs after a dinner party has devolved, or the duet you and your friend think you’ve nailed at karaoke before realising nobody was paying attention. Whatever the case, it's a very personal thing, so we're not positioning this list as definitive. It is, however, our top 25 Disney songs - from the company's animated efforts only - of all time.

And for more, here are our picks for the 25 best Disney animated movies!After you've read the list, be sure to share your own favourites.

25 Go the Distance, Hercules

Hercules’ Go the Distance has a Rocky-ness to it, a fist-pump-inspiring, dorkily endearing ‘up and at ‘em’ spirit. The song was later covered by Michael Bolton; Ricky Martin recorded the Spanish-language version.

24 I 2 I, A Goofy Movie

It’s a surprise that a movie centered on Mickey Mouse’s anthropomorphic-dog pal would have so many great songs, but such is the magic of Disney. Its best is this great number sung by Michael Jackson sound-a-like Tevin Campbell, immortalized forever by Pauly Shore's "Max is on the tuuu uube!" interject.

23 Everybody Wants to be a Cat, The Aristocats

It’s a cliché, but Disney really don’t make em like this little swing jazz number anymore. Carried by Scatman Crothers and Phil Harris (who also played Balloo in the Jungle Book), Everybody Wants to Be a Cat is so smooth, so cool, that you could you could slap a label on it and sell it as an aphrodisiac.

22 Beauty & the Beast

Mrs Potts' voice actress Angela Lansbury was so nervous before recording what was to become the theme song from 1991's Beauty and the Beast that she questioned composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman’s decision to have her sing it, before delivering the song in a single, perfect take. A Lite FM version was later recorded by Celine Dion and Peobo Bryson.

21 Man Out of You, Mulan

The super macho Man Out Of You is the catchiest number in Mulan, and a firm favourite of all the little kids around the world who didn’t like the kissing parts in Disney movies.

20 Cruella de Vil, 101 Dalmations

A deliciously cruel song for what might be the definitive Disney villain, Cruella de Vil was the only real hit from 101 Dalmatians . But what a hit.This vampire bat!This inhuman beast!She ought to be locked up!And never released!

19 What's This? The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Danny Elfman-penned What’s This? is the standout number from Tim Burton’s bizarre and brilliant Nightmare Before Christmas, having withstood lite-cult appreciation and teenage goth obsession to arrive, battered and covered in eyeliner, on this list.

18 Hakuna Matata, The Lion King

Ever played Hakuna Matata to a group of pent up Gen Y’ers? It’s like a euphoria-inducing musical drug to them. The song’s continued popularity has proved one thing: it wasn’t no passing craze.

17 You Can Fly, Peter Pan

You can fly! You can fly! this lively song insisted, as your six-year-old self launches off the sofa while thinking of your grandmother’s apple pie or your cat’s whiskers before crashing to the ground with a dispiriting thump. Still, what a beautiful lie it was.

16 Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, Cinderella

Something something something something something something something! Put em together and what have you got? Bibbidy-bobbidy-boo! These classic lyrics have gone on to influence artists as diverse as the creator of Dragon Ball to Japanese rock band 'Buck Tick.' Bibbidy-Bobbidy-Boo is also 100% guaranteed to melt your heart if sung by a small child.

15 Kiss the Girl, The Little Mermaid

How Prince Eric could not have kissed Ariel before the 2:30 mark of this little calypso number is beyond me; one can only presume the guy is inexplicably turned off by singing fish. Another show case number for Sebastian voice actor Samuel E. Wright, who went on to play Mufasa in the Broadway production of The Lion King.

14 He's a Tramp, Lady & the Tramp

Carried by the sultry vocals of Peggy Lee, He’s a Tramp is quite possibly the sexiest Disney song. Lee proved she was a class act, even in dog form.

13 You'll Be in My Heart, Tarzan

What can’t Phil Collins do? Now firmly camped in radio romance playlists the world over, You’ll Be in My Heart it’s as uplifting and sweet-natured as Disney gets.

12 I Just Can’t Wait to Be King, The Lion King

Guaranteed to render even sober revelers helpless in the face of its charms, I Just Can’t Wait to Be King is arguably The Lion King’s most infectious song. All together now: “NOT YET!”
