I love Disney music. I love the instrumental scores as well as the jolly show tunes songs. (I'm also a sucker for classical.) So I wanted to share with you guys my personal favorites by score, song and overall. (I included Frozen because I would be shocked if they weren't eventually made a part of the Princess franchise even though they've been out for 2 years now.) I love all of these soundtracks and it's hard to pick so I had to use a mathematical formula based on my favorites to come up with the rankings. I provided pictures for which soundtracks I used. I almost always prefer the songs sung by the original cast members over celebrities that get attached to every soundtrack.

"Can I be in charge please?" Cleo asked. "I can because uh... I watched Aladdin!" Cleo said.
"Okay, fine," Anna said. Everyone glared at her. "What..." She asked. "Okay princesses and princes bring your weapons!"

"Useless," Cleo said
"Cinderella,"
"My broom..." Ella said
"Not as useless but still useless,"
"Aurora,"
"My prince," Aurora said
"I have no time for this...riffraff!" Cleo suddenly said. She put on her eye patch. "He puts a finger on Jasmine he'll have to break it," Cleo said.

"It's always good to make sacrifices... shame on you Eric!" Cleo awnsered...
