Definitive All-Time Disney Original Song Bracket Battle: It's the Circle of Life

I really appreciate your dedication to supplying your thoughts on top of your votes. Perhaps I should be so dedicated myself.

Bump for last chance to vote on this block. There are some that are down to the wire but that don’t have half as many votes of other pairs.

Lol my wife’s vote just tied one up hope y’all have a tiebreaker plan

There was no plan, no. So I texted my brother. He’s a relevant authority on the subject. I doubt this will have a material impact on the bracket, as the winner here has to go up against We Don’t Talk About Bruno next.

My bro picked Oo-De-Lally. So it, For the First Time in Forever, What’s This, Bare Necessities, Dos Oruguitas, Almost There, Hellfire, and He’s a Tramp all advance.

This is tough but I believe the edge goes to whichever one James Cameron ripped off

  • Didn’t like Heigh Ho as much as I had remembered. Wasn’t a fan of The Parent Trap song, so voting for it in this matchup, but might not vote for it again.
  • Flight of the Navigator thing did nothing for me. Aristocats song is fun, though I would have preferred the version without the Chinese cat.
  • Whistle While You Work was even more of a disappointment than Heigh Ho. Honestly, it kinda sucks. Brave song easily.
  • I liked this Whistle song a lot more.
  • Man I remember these 7 Dwarfs songs being much better. Plus the Frozen 2 song is actually good.
  • I liked That Darn Cat quite a bit, but it ain’t taking down Circle of Life.
  • Going for Cinderella song in another matchup of two decent songs.
  • Picking the Herbie song mostly for uniqueness over the seemingly never ending supply of Encanto songs.
  • Damn, these were two of of my favorite songs of the whole block. I’ll pick Notre Dame, though I would have gone with Savages in almost any other matchup.

The love bug theme is so good, just as joyful as the songs from Toy Story

In “The Bells of Notre Dame,” the note at 3:55 is just absurd. I’ve never been able to find a clip of someone hitting it live.
