    The Music of Disney
    Feb 18 2025
    Disney's songs have become just as iconic as the unforgettable films they are a part of. In the early days, they set a new standard for music in films that lead to soundtracks we still know generations later. And, for decades, Disney has had a heavy hand in discovering - and developing - some of the world's biggest pop-stars. From Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears in the 90s to more recent names like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter, the Mouse House shows continue to dominate in multiple mediums, including film & music. Fresh off a trip on the Disney Wish cruise, our very own Nick Major chats with Tamara Dhia about his experience, and then the two dive into all things Disney. From the movies we grew up watching, songs we grew up singing, and the artists we can thank Disney for. Side note: Be sure to check out the album 'A Whole New Sound' that Disney dropped last year. It's a cover album of iconic Disney songs performed by awesome pop-punk bands like Simple Plan, New Found Glory, and Magnolia Park. Learn more about your ad choices.
