This is a little off-beat, but we had two big names celebrating birthdays today, so there was no way I could leave both of them off the posts. We're also celebrating the 62nd birthday of composer and songwriter Alan Menken, who forged his career by crafting some of the most memorable songs and scores for some rather iconic Disney films. Sure, he's dabbled here and there on some other projects with other studios, but anyone who knows about Alan Menken can't deny the fact that he owes a lot of his success to Disney. So what I've done here is list my five favorite cinematic scores that Menken has produced over the years. Not so ironically, they are all from his times with Disney, but that's neither here nor there. He's been able to craft some of the most magical musical compositions I've ever heard, and I hope you enjoy these just as much as I do. Once again, happy birthday, Alan Menken!

Favorites: DISNEY SONGS
For those of you who don't know, I saw Disney's 50th animated movie, Tangled, yesterday in theaters, and it got me thinking about my favorite Disney songs of all time. So, I have compiled a list of my twenty favorite ones. PLEASE UNDERSTAND that they are simply my favorite ones - I'm not saying they're the best ones of all time. My favorite does not mean I think they're the best. I tried to keep it to only animated movies, but one exception had to be made! But please, enjoy :]
