Disney Legend

One of these legendary talents is Sir Elton John. The longtime musician has had a very lengthy and successful career that has spanned decades. Among his many accomplishments is his work on the music for Disney’s The Lion King (1994), and cameos in various Disney shows and movies. As part of the creative genius behind The Lion King soundtrack, he helped create timeless classics such as “Circle of Life,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Be Prepared,” “Hakuna Matata,” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” The iconic “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” also went on to win an Academy Award for Best Song and a Grammy Award.

Other contributions Sir Elton John has made to Disney include appearing for the Muppets, making a cameo appearance in The Country Bears (2002), and having his song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” featured in the trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023).
