Kristen Bell and Jimmy Fallon teamed up on The Tonight Show for a performance that took Disney fans on a rapid-fire journey through their childhoods. The duo performed a “History of Disney Songs” medley, covering decades of classic hits in a single, high-energy set.
The performance began with classic nostalgia and quickly ramped up into a chaotic and joyful tribute. Bell, famous for voicing Princess Anna in Frozen, seamlessly switched between characters. She delivered an emotional rendition of “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid before jumping into upbeat tracks. Fallon matched her energy with a comedic take on “Under the Sea” and other sidekick anthems.
The arrangement highlighted Bell’s legitimate vocal talent. While she is best known today for her acting roles in Veronica Mars and The Good Place, her roots are in musical theater, having debuted on Broadway in 2001. This medley allowed her to flex those skills live, hitting high notes and character voices that many fans rarely get to see outside of the animated films.
The chemistry between the two was undeniable. They moved through songs from The Lion King, Aladdin, and Frozen with a mix of genuine reverence for the material and playful humor. The video quickly went viral, racking up over 16 million views, with fans commenting on how the performance brought “genuine smiles” and happy tears to adult viewers who grew up with these movies.
