Disney Renaissance Menken. Disney's next film, "Mulan", with a score by Jerry Goldsmith and songs by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel, came out in 1998 and earned $304 million at the worldwide box office, restoring the commercial and critical standing of Disney's output. The release of "Tarzan" is retrospectively seen as the end of the Renaissance era. With songs by Phil Collins, Tarzan won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "You'll Be in My Heart," and became Disney's most commercially successful film since "The Lion King", earning $448 million at the box office and widespread positive reviews. "Tarzan" was also
Beauty and the Beast (Disney song) Disney's surprise, "Beauty and the Beast" received three separate Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song. To avoid dividing Academy voters and prevent a draw, Disney decided to promote the film's title song ahead of its fellow nominees "Belle" and "Be Our Guest" by releasing "Beauty and the Beast" as a single, similar to the way in which Universal Pictures released "Somewhere Out There" from the animated film "An American Tail" as a single in 1986. Coincidentally, Ashman and Menken had written the song so that it could potentially experience success outside of the "Beauty and the Beast" film itself.
