Mulan (1998) v The Lion King (1994)
Mulan: If you noticed a distinction between the songs and the score, you are not imagining anything. Jerry Goldsmith kept the score separate from Matthew Wilder and David Zippel's songs, which was unique for Disney. Personally, we think this choice really adds to the gut-punching emotional 180 that is the end of the comedic "A Girl Worth Fighting For" being cut off by finding the decimated village.
The Lion King: This movie won at almost every award show or honor it was up for. A large part of that was the score and the songs. It got the Oscar for Score and Best Song (plus two more nominations in that category), the AMA Top Soundtrack, Golden Globe's Best Film Musical or Comedy, Best Score, Best Song. And so many Grammy nods including Best Male Pop Vocals. The list goes on, look!

Sleeping Beauty (1959) v Brother Bear (2003) v Treasure Planet (2002)
Sleeping Beauty: "I know you I've walked with you once upon a dream..." and the full orchestra is timeless. Much of the music here was inspired by the 19th century ballet, and honestly we imagine you could do ballet to most of the movie. This soundtrack is also the first to have stereo sound.
Brother Bear: Phil Collins is back at it! This one has the energy of "On My Way" for sing-a-longs and the magic of the score as with the "Transformation" sequences. Plus we would be remiss to not mention Tina Turner preformed "Great Spirit"
Treasure Planet: Are you hearing a score that reminds you of Star Wars? Or perhaps your ears are picking up the Celtic inspirations? Either way, there is no missing "I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)," one of the most relatable original song from their Funky Era (experimental age)

Aladdin (1992) v Treasure Planet (2002)
Aladdin: If you think there is value in the tragedy of making a project, buckle your seat belts! Aladdin was the passion project of Howard Ashman and when he was finally allowed to work on it he was thrilled! But, Howard died before completion, and in the end his partner Alan Menken was blessed to have found Tim Rice to help complete the movie. Three of Ashman's songs did make it to the final cut: "Friend Like Me" "Prince Ali" and "Arabian Nights" source
Treasure Planet: We like that this one is mostly score and the characters are not personally engaging with any of the music (until the end dance). All the songs emphasize emotions and struggles and revelations the characters experience for the audience, really hitting on a type of "show don't tell" that only a movie/show can do. If you take the time to listen and you will notice how effective a good score can be. Also here is an article about the music by Estefania Ramirez Cobain.

Moana (2017) v The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
Moana: The Broadway Formula meeting the actual sounds and influences of Polynesia created a very energetic, new, and unique mix. The songs pull from historic as well as modern influences to get many of the audience to relate to Moana's journey of discovering who she is and who/where she comes from. Plus the score did the same by blending woodwinds of the south pacific and modern strings to pull the mood off the screen and into the air. source
The Hunchback of Notre Dame: The whole movie is a beautiful balance between the Dark and the Light and the music is no different. It starts much darker than most Disney movies ever get, yet even with the hate crime, the exposition is told to a child with puppets. The competing messages of "Heaven's Light/Hellfire" perfectly foil each other. And none of that talked about how the score constituently reinforces the artistic uses of light and dark colors throughout the film to further these motifs and themes. (review used)

Tangled (2010) v Treasure Planet (2002)
Tangled: We absolutely love how "Mother Knows Best" and the reprise are used to show how Raps has grown to be more independent and confident as well as reminding us how manipulative Gothel is with her. We also felt the power shifts with these two.
Treasure Planet: If you like early 2000s vibes for your playlist, we would like to direct you to "Always Know Where You Are," the other non-score number on this soundtrack. You know, in case you forgot John Rzeznik had two credits on this one.

A Goofy Movie (1995) v The Lion King (1994)
A Goofy Movie: Powerline has such "Stand Out" songs that we can all see "I 2 I" with Max when he hijacked an assembly to sing to Roxanne and then redirected his road trip without telling his dad to get to the concert.
The Lion King: "The Circle of Life" makes for a great wake up alarm if anyone is looking. Then there is Hans Zimmer on the instruments and Elton John for the Pop! What?! Someone had to agree as both won Oscars for this movie.

Beauty and the Beast (1991) v Lilo and Stitch (2002)
Beauty and the Beast: With the voices of Angela Lansbury, Celine Dion, and Paige O'Hara and composers like Alan Menken and Howard Ashman this was a masterpiece. On the Oscar front, 3 of the songs were each nominated for "Best Original Song" (the title song winning), it won the "Best Score", was nominated for "Sound", and was the first animated movie nominated for "Best Picture" (before there was even set rules about animated movies).
Lilo and Stitch: Can you believe the music wasn't supposed to play a huge role in this movie initially? It was a tiny budget and music was a low priority. Luckily production changed this plan. The care for correctly representing and respecting Hawaiian culture plus the permission for getting Elvis to be seen, let alone heard, resulted in a surprisingly mixed and successful soundtrack enjoyed for decades. After all, it was one of the Orlando films. source a and more here

The Princess and the Frog (2009) v The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) v Aladdin (1992)
The Princess and the Frog: Randy Newman, who created the soundtrack, is from New Orleans and used his familiarity with the cultural sounds to really bring this one to life. How many composers at the time would have chosen to be influenced with Zydeco (we wouldn't have, but we are also very far from Louisiana altogether)?
The Nightmare Before Christmas: When Danny Elfman was looking for inspiration for this track list, he looked to the past. He turned to music half to a full century old including, Rogers and Hammerstein as well as Gilbert and Sullivan to name a few.
Aladdin: Alan Menken put a lot of detail into the musical themes for the different characters to make sure their songs gave a fair reflection of their true essence. For instance, the Sultan's has a lot of fanfare but is still on the comic side, and Jasmine's is sweet and sad because she lives a comfortable life yet feels so trapped by it.

Cinderella (1950) v Tarzan (1999)
Cinderella: "Sing Sweet Nightingale" may not start out as the best Disney song by far, but "So This Is Love" has held up over the decades. Plus who hasn't wanted their own "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" sequence?
Tarzan: Phil Collins did not have to go that hard. But he did. And we love all of it!

Robin Hood (1973) v Frozen II (2019)
Robin Hood: "Oo-De-Lally"! This is apparently one banger of a song as we received multiple endorsements for that one in particular. The score of this one is so on point, you should be able to tell who is in the scene without needing to look.
Frozen II: "Into the Unknown" is a worthy successor from the first. The music matures just as the story has from the original. And, personally, we are pleased that "Reindeers are Better than People" made a return.

The Little Mermaid (1989) v Mulan (1998)
The Little Mermaid: With "witty songs" and "catchy musical pieces" this film brought Disney into their new age of animated domination: the Renaissance! It has also been said this movie brought Broadway music to the animated silver screen.
Mulan: At the time of the film's release, the music wasn't the most impressive but clearly that was wrong. Sure, we get that it can be hard to put a soundtrack together when the first choice collaborators leave, but this one endures. After all, "I'll Make A Man Out of You" gets all kinds of people excited and motivated to this day.

Robin Hood (1973) v Lilo and Stitch (2002)
Robin Hood: This movie is based on the old English folk hero, and "The Phony King of England" apparently has a strong resemblance to the folk song "The Bastard King of England." Plus, "Love" was nominated for the Best Song Oscar and was recognizable and beloved enough it was reused in "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009).
Lilo and Stitch: There are two songs which have lyrics in Hawaiian, "Mele No Lilo" is taken from the traditional song "Mele Inoa O Kalakaua" and "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride." The latter also just recently certified Platinum and was written by Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu.
