How will Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen perform in a competition of the most adored animated movie songs? It may have won an Oscar and a Grammy.

The winning song will be announced later this summer, and BBC Radio 2 is inviting listeners to vote for their favourite animated film music from the previous 50 years.

On yesterday’s episode of The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, presenter OJ Borg announced a list of the top 50 songs for the poll.

The Lion King’s Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Elton John, Aladdin’s Friend Like Me by Robin Williams, Monsters Inc.’s If I Didn’t Have You by Billy Crystal and John Goodman, and Toy Story’s beloved You’ve Got A Friend In Me by Randy Newman are among the songs that are up for consideration alongside 2013’s Let It Go.

These are the songs we adored as children, and as adults, we start introducing them to our own children, according to Borg.

Every time you hear one, it just makes you happy.

James King, Rhianna Dhillon, and Ali Plumb, three movie critics for BBC Pop Radio, came up with the shortlist.

The shortlist selection, according to Mr. King, was “difficult” but “so much fun.”

The biggest songs over the past few years have come from animations, and many of them have become staples of popular culture, he continued.

It was wonderful to go back and look at some I’d forgotten about.

We had to make some difficult choices on which songs should be included on the shortlist, according to Miss Dhillon.

We hope you’ll find some of your favourites on our shortlist, as well as some brand-new ones.

On August 29, Borg will make the findings public during a Radio 2 show. Voting for the best song from an animated film is currently underway and ends on August 8 at noon.
