Steamboat Willie

Steamboat Willie (From “Toontown”)

When you think of that famous whistling melody that plays before Disney films begin, doesn’t it ring a bell for many of you? This piece, with its cheerful and somehow nostalgic ragtime feel, brims with a mysterious charm that makes your heart skip just by listening.

Originally created by the Leighton Brothers in 1910, it became known worldwide after being used in a scene where the protagonist whistles while piloting a boat in a short animated film released in November 1928.

In recent years, it’s been familiar as the opening logo music for Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Pair it with videos capturing everyday scenes or fun moments with friends, and you’ll instantly have a stylish, retro-feeling reel.

It’s the perfect track for anyone who wants to create a happy post that brings smiles to viewers’ faces.

We Love Donald!Tokyo Disneyland

We Love Donald! (from “Quacky Celebration ★ Donald the Legend!”)

Donald Duck has won the starring role in Tokyo Disneyland’s popular event “Disney Pal-Palooza”! This song is featured in his celebratory parade, “Quacky Celebration ★ Donald the Legend!” It’s a party anthem overflowing with friendship and admiration, as Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of the gang pay tribute to everyone’s favorite Donald.

The up-tempo, energetic beat instantly brings back the excitement of the parade the moment you hear it! Debuting as the main track for the parade in April 2024, the song was first released on CD in the January 2025 album “Best of Tokyo Disney Resort® Music ~Remember 2024~.” Its irresistibly bright vibe is perfect not only for memory videos from the parks, but also for casual Reels capturing everyday moments with friends.

It adds even more color to the time you spend with your best pals.

Disney’s piece “Speechless” has been beloved for many years.

While the animated version was popular, the 2019 live-action film release brought it even greater acclaim.

When it comes to Aladdin’s music, many people probably think of “A Whole New World,” but “Speechless” is also a fan favorite and is frequently heard on Instagram Reels and TikTok.

It’s recommended for those who enjoy serious and passionate ballads.

Are you familiar with techno music that incorporates music and sound effects from Disney works? Pogo, the composer of “Wishery,” is known as a pioneer who embraced that movement.

This track is a piece of techno music that weaves in background music and sound effects from the film Snow White, and throughout it maintains a fairy-tale quality while exuding a somewhat surreal and stylish atmosphere.

The Disney film Coco, released in 2017.

In Japan, it’s known by the title Remember Me.

It’s a lively, musical-style animated film set in the Land of the Dead, featuring several original songs.

Among them, the one that gained particular popularity is Un Poco Loco.

In Japanese, the title means “a little crazy,” but the melody is arranged as a gentle Mexican country tune.

Wouldn’t it pair nicely with reels that introduce everyday life?

Hakuna MatataThe Lion King

Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, JD McCrary, Donald Glover – Hakuna Matata (From “The Lion King”)

Disney’s The Lion King is full of classic songs.

The one I recommend as an Instagram Reel this time is Hakuna Matata.

It’s one of the most popular original songs from The Lion King.

Since it has a lot of dialogue, you might think it’s not suited for Reels, but it actually works surprisingly well.

Different Reels highlight different parts of the song, so it’s a good idea to check out a variety of them.
