Such a beautiful soundtrack

When I was little, I received the soundtrack to this movie for Christmas. Even now, a few months before my 18th birthday (oh goodness...I don't want to grow up) I still listen to it. I love the classics like "Second Star to the Right" and "Following the Leader", but even more I love the music without lyrics. The background music that accentuates the character's feelings and movements. The music in the Mermaid Lagoon scene is breathtaking, and really brings out the mystical elegance of the scene. Even now that i'm almost legally an adult, the music of this film will always take me to Neverland, at least in spirit, where I feel the sense of adventure the characters must have felt. I truly adore this movie.

I agree the soundtrack is wonderful. Second Star to the Right especially is one of the most beautiful songs in a Disney movie, while the score itself is magical and the You Can Fly sequence is truly memorable musically and artistically.
