Part of Your World - Written by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken for The Little Mermaid (1989). Performed by American actress and singer Jodi Benson in the titular role as Ariel. Directly influenced by Broadway and musical theatre, Ashman strongly believed that The Little Mermaid would benefit from an "I Want" song – a musical number during which the main character sings about what they hope to accomplish by the end of their story. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker originally asked Ashman to write a song for Ariel in which she expresses her romantic feelings for Prince Eric, but the lyricist felt that a song that details the character's fascination with the human world would better serve the film's plot.

Belle - Written by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken for Beauty and the Beast (1991). Recorded by American actors Paige O'Hara and Richard White, "Belle" is a mid-tempo classical music-inspired song that borrows elements from Broadway and musical theatre. Although originally developed as an animated film without songs under the direction of Richard Purdum, Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg was unsatisfied with the dark, somber direction of the film at the time, and ultimately ordered that it be re-written into a "Broadway-style musical with a strong heroine", similar to The Little Mermaid. Disney then hired The Little Mermaid's songwriters, lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken, to write original songs for the revised film.
