Various Artists - Disney Hits, Volume 1

A parade of beloved Disney songs shares one record on Disney Hits, Volume 1, a 2024 collection that jumps from undersea grottos to icy palaces in a single spin.

Walt Disney Records built this set as a quick-fire tour of the studio's songbook, mixing late-1980s and 1990s favorites with the newer wave of hits from Moana, Encanto, Turning Red and Elemental. It is the kind of record that unites a car full of kids with the adults who grew up on worn-out VHS copies of the same films.

Let It Go still delivers its soaring, cape-flinging catharsis, and We Don't Talk About Bruno brings Encanto's gossipy, layered ensemble straight into the living room. How Far I'll Go captures Moana's restless pull toward the horizon, while A Whole New World remains the gold standard for magic carpet duets. Elsewhere, songs from Hercules, The Little Mermaid and Brave keep the energy high.

A single LP makes it easy to flip and replay, and the running order mixes Broadway-style showstoppers with pop-leaning newer songs so the mood never sags. Younger listeners get their current favorites, while older ones get a hit of pure nostalgia.

Slip it on for birthday parties, rainy afternoons or an unapologetic solo singalong. Nobody has to know who knows every single word.
