"Part of Your World" is a classic now, but the song was almost cut after an early screening of the film.
Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel, previously told Insider that then-Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg had wanted to remove the song. Lyracist Howard Ashman fought to keep the song in the final film. It kicked off Disney's "I Want" songs, which help set up the rest of the film by telling you what the protagonist wants.

The film will incorporate some of the animated movie's beloved songs as well as new music from composer Alan Menken and "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
