When You Wish upon a Star / Leigh Harline

Alongside the Mickey Mouse March, When You Wish Upon a Star can be called one of Disney’s signature songs.

It was the theme song of Pinocchio, released in 1940, and its gentle, unhurried melody is also popular as a lullaby.

You often hear it played with the image of Cinderella Castle before Disney films begin.

It has been covered by many artists, including Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Eikichi Yazawa, and Daichi Miura.

It’s a song that seems to capture the dream-filled world of Disney itself, letting you feel the beauty of dreams.
