Which song does Cinderella sing at the beginning of the film?

At the beginning of the film, Cinderella sings “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” It introduces her hopeful personality before the story shows the harsh life imposed on her by Lady Tremaine and her stepsisters.

The song is performed as Cinderella wakes and begins her morning chores, with the household animals joining parts of the musical sequence. Its lyrics present dreams as a source of perseverance, a theme that carries Cinderella through neglect, confinement, and disappointment.

The other choices are also genuine songs from the film, which makes this a common mix-up. “The Work Song” accompanies the mice as they help prepare Cinderella for the ball, “Sing, Sweet Nightingale” is Drizella’s intentionally comic practice song, and “So This Is Love” accompanies Cinderella and the Prince’s dance.

The music was written by Mack David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston. Unlike “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” which received an Oscar nomination, “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” was not the film’s Academy Award song nominee.
