It’s the theme song from Monsters, Inc., If I Didn’t Have You.

It’s arranged as a duet and finished in a very lively way.

While Disney is best known for its princess films, I also love the quirky duo of Sulley and Mike.

This wonderful piece captures their comedic charm.

Fantasia The Sorcerer’s ApprenticePaul Dukas

[Fantasia] The Sorcerer's Apprentice – Piano Solo – L’apprenti sorcier

From Mickey’s feature film Fantasia, which has a timeless charm no matter when you watch it, this is The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

The orchestral performance is wonderful, of course, but the piano version has its own flavor and is an excellent piece as well.

It brings back the scenes where the brooms multiply and where Mickey casts his spells.

Beyond the SeaCharles Trenet

“Beyond the Sea” piano solo

This upbeat love song is “Beyond the Sea,” the ending theme of Finding Nemo.

Its crisp, sparkling rhythm makes it a delight to listen to.

It’s a cute, poppy track that’s perfect for when you want to take a little break from the purely romantic.

A Solitary Dinner PartyAlan Menken

Disney – Beauty and the Beast – Be Our Guest Piano Solo

Brimming with a glamorous, joyful atmosphere, this piece is one of the most popular songs from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

Its lively rhythm and bright melody pair perfectly with the piano’s clear tone! Played with a delicate touch, it brings out an even more elegant feel.

Featured on the film’s soundtrack released in November 1991, it has continued to be loved for many years.

It’s perfect as background music for a special dinner or for a home party performance.

If you’re learning piano, give it a try—before you know it, you might find yourself smiling as you play!

Sung by Dream Ami as the Japanese theme song for Disney’s Zootopia, this track charms with its upbeat lyrics and bright melody.

In line with the film’s themes, it celebrates the importance of taking on challenges and the strength to not fear failure.

Released in 2016, it sparked a huge response, ranking 8th on the Billboard Japan Hot Animation year-end chart.

A Whole New World (from “Aladdin”)

This moving ballad, loved by many, is a work by composer Alan Menken, renowned for numerous Disney film scores.

It’s a romantic piece that evokes the image of traveling through the night sky on a magic carpet.

Celebrating the freedom and hope of stepping into an unknown world, the song may free your mind from the task at hand and lead you into a realm of fresh ideas.

A signature song from the 1992 film Aladdin, it can be heard on the soundtrack album Aladdin: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Its universal appeal is underscored by winning Best Original Song at the 65th Academy Awards in March 1993.

The grand, beautiful piano tones will sweep away everyday distractions and support you as you focus deeply during creative time.

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-BooAl Hoffman

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo Piano (Disney Best Hit 10 Ver.)

It’s Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo from Disney’s (animated) Cinderella.

Many Japanese animators were influenced by this very beautiful piece of animation.

While the film features many romantic songs, the playful, comical Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo is also adorable and absolutely delightful.
