"Part of Your World" is considered to be a feminist anthem by some. The song is also regarded as a gay anthem, with "The Guardian"'s Guy Lodge dubbing it "something of an all-purpose anthem for LGBT not-belongers." Romain "an anthem for anyone whose personal identification might not align with their physical presentation." Part of Your World" is also often parodied in subsequent media. An instrumental version of the song is heard in the film "Enchanted" (2007) during the scene in which Giselle (Amy Adams) examines the aquarium in Robert's (Patrick Dempsey) office. Benson also appears in the film as Robert's secretary; "Part of Your World" is used to underscore some of Benson's scenes. Video footage showing Ashman coaching Benson during one of the earliest recording sessions for "Part of Your World" continues to garner attention on the internet.
