Dreams really do come true.
Spotify’s new Disney Hub makes it easy to discover the music of Mickey Mouse (and his corporate overlords).
Listeners in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the US can now search “Disney” on Spotify for direct access to official playlists and albums.
You’ll find everything from classic hits and popular favorites to still-in-cinema soundtracks (I’m looking at you, The Lion King and Toy Story 4), as well as tunes from Disney subsidiaries—including Star Wars instrumentals and Marvel motifs.
Spotify has also curated playlists to suit your mood, whether you want to sing along in the shower or car, feel like a princess, or drift off to sleep.
- Disney Hits: Top songs from the biggest Disney and Pixar films
- Disney Favorites: Everyone’s favorite current tunes, plus popular classics
- Disney Classics: Songs from the Disney Parks, live-action and animated classic soundtracks, and Disney Channel original movies
- Disney Sing-Alongs: You can’t help but sing along
- Disney Princess: Love ballads and coming-of-age breakaways
- Marvel Music: Songs and scores from Marvel films and shows
- The Best of Star Wars: By John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra
Just browsing some of these song titles is sending me crashing back to childhood (or, you know, to the mid-aughties).
One of the world’s biggest subscription music services, Spotify is carving out a real niche with curation elements like Disney Hub. As TechCrunch pointed out, this kid-friendly addition could mean a boon to family memberships (worth $14.99/month) for the streaming service.
More than talking animals and superheroes, it’s a safe place to relive adolescence and introduce new generations to eight decades of award-winning songs.
Mobile users can simply type “Disney” into the search bar and look for the “genre” result (the one with the Mickey Mouse icon). Or, click straight through to the hard-to-find website feature online.
As more live-action remakes (like The Little Mermaid) and next-phase Marvel flicks hit theatres, Spotify will update its Disney Hub with music to match.
