"bibbidi-bobbidi-boo" (also called "the magic song") is a novelty song, written in 1948 by al hoffman, mack david, and jerry livingston. introduced in the 1950 film "cinderella", and performed by actress verna felton, the song is about the fairy godmother transforming an orange pumpkin into a white carriage, four brown mice into white horses, a gray horse into a white-haired coachman, and a brown dog into a white-haired footman. the song was nominated for the academy award for best original song in 1951 but lost out to "mona lisa" from "captain carey, u.s.a." disney used the song once again in their 2015 blockbuster remake of "cinderella" which starred lily james in the leading role. the song was performed by helena bonham carter, who plays fairy godmother, and was the final song of the movie, playing with the end credits. bonham carter's version can also be found as the 30th song on the original movie soundtrack.
