1. "Colors of the Wind" - Beautiful, poignant, and a breathtaking animation sequence to accompany it. The only thing that keeps Pocahontas in the "above average" range for me.

2. "Under the Sea" - Possibly Disney's best "fun" song. It never gets old. Though I think "Part of Your World" was more Oscar worthy, most of the songs from TLM could have qualified.

3. "A Whole New World" - Timeless and a massive hit for Disney, though slightly overrated.

4. "Beauty and the Beast" - While I do appreciate it, I kind of find it boring to be honest. Not my favorite song from the film.

5. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - I wish the movie version was longer with less Timon and Pumbaa.

6. "You'll Be In My Heart" - Not my favorite soundtrack and not even my favorite song from it

7. "When You Wish Upon a Star" - Utter garbage. It doesn't help that I absolutely despise Jiminy Cricket.

1. When You Wish Upon a Star - "THE" quintessential Disney Animation song
2. A Whole New World - It's a personal favorite that never gets old.
3. Colors of the Wind - I love the haunting melody and the animation that goes with it.
4. Under the Sea - Catchy song with witty lyrics
5. Beauty and the Beast - I love how simple and soothing it sounds. I dunno but everytime I hear the song, it has this relaxing effect or something. Lol. Must be the piano.
6. Can You Feel the Love Tonight - It's a love song with an African savannah vibe. What's not to like?
7. You'll Be In My Heart - It's a bit sappy for my liking but it works well with the scene. I would've preferred a "Kala from start to finish" version.

1.When You Wish Upon a Star - It's the trademark Disney song. How can you not like it?
2.A Whole New World -It's one of the romantic songs I can tolerate.
3.Under the Sea-One of the catchiest winners of the Academy Award. How come so many of the winners are so depressing?
4.Beauty and the Beast-Kind of overrated, but still enjoyable nonetheless.
5.Colors of the Wind - Probably the only decent thing I remember about Pocahontas (then again, I haven't watched it in over 10 years).
6.You'll Be in My Heart - Only because I never saw the movie.
7.Can You Feel the Love Tonight- I didn't mind it much back then. Now, I cannot stand it. It's just too sappy.

1. A Whole new World- Beauitful song, and stunning visuals.
2. When You Wish Upon a Star- Simple, but effective and heartwarming.

4. Can You Feel the Love Tonight- Well written and passionate.
5. You'll Be In My Heart- Love this song, a little underated imo.
6. Under The Sea- It's a fun song, though others are much stronger imo.
7. Colours of the Wind- Never really liked this song, sorry

3. Under the Sea
4. A Whole New World
5. You'll Be In My Heart
6. Colours of the Wind
7. Can You Feel the Love Tonight

I love the first five, but find the other two mediocre fare. Under the Sea is a delightful melody, although I think Part of that World or Poor Unfortunate Souls are both stronger.
