History AwesomeMusic / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceChimps'' for an arguably silly movie that involves chimps going to space, it certainly has one of, if not the THE BEST soundtrack for a space movie of all time. Chris Bacon did a brilliant job with honorable mentions including
** Hail to the chimps
** The main title theme
** Volcano launch

* ''WesternAnimation/JumanjiTheAnimatedSeries'' had [[https://youtu.be/sbZZKEJXz9U an excellent opening theme]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Jumanji}}'' cartoon had [[https://youtu.be/sbZZKEJXz9U an excellent opening theme]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferngully|The Last Rainforest}}''. If you like Creator/RobinWilliams, there's [[https://youtu.be/wtuKoD1Wbvg The Batty Rap]]. If you like Creator/TimCurry, there's [[https://youtu.be/4PLQ1XfaTuU Toxic Love]]. And if you like [[AwardBaitSong award-baiting love ballads]], there's [[https://youtu.be/rIdrI8VGDxM A Dream Worth Keeping]].
* The ''Franchise/GIJoe'' theme people, especially [[https://youtu.be/nv_daZe1kNI the movie theme]].

%%* [[https://youtu.be/bG3RKQcSKrY Mountain Chase]] from ''WesternAniamtion/HortonHearsAWho''.

* TheMovie of ''Literature/ThePhantomTollbooth'' had a lot of moderately cute music... Tock's song "Time Is A Gift," and the GrandFinale, "Rhyme And Reason Reign." Yes, everything IS better with Princesses...as long as their names are [[MeaningfulName Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason.]] :)

* [[https://youtu.be/5NJA8LaCebs Far Longer Than Forever]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess''.

* [[https://youtu.be/zHD6UlOxHx0 "You and Me"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsonsMovie''
* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'' has a pretty good soundtrack, considering all the musical talent behind it. Especially the triumphant and epic final song [[http://youtu.be/aR-Z92eXVoo Send Love Through]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'':
** The music score played in the series is very light with a pleasant bubblegum pop vibe, that makes the series very serene and relaxing.
** The instrumental version of the theme song, [[https://youtu.be/2Y1RwKXRN1A played during the closing credits of every episode]], is a relaxing and cozy way to end your adventures with Elinor.

%%* The closing theme to ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet'' is awesome.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]''. The soundtrack in all of its 80's rock glory was so beloved by the fanbase that they begged Mandell and Koch to put it on the DVD collection separately from the episodes.
** [[https://youtu.be/cLplMEa5kuw "No Guts No Glory"]] (opening theme).
** [[https://youtu.be/_du-zdxCDGE "Rangers are Forever"]] (closing credits #2).
** [[https://youtu.be/8gkZ1URUu0A "Somewhere a Heart"]].
** [[https://youtu.be/liNRA1y7Dy0 "Fight To the Finish"]].
** [[https://youtu.be/vg-BcjE213U "Psychocrystal"]].

** In "Talent Night" Megabyte invades Enzo's birthday party...to perform a hard rock solo with speakers turned up. Not to be outdone, Bob has Glitch turn into a guitar. What follows is a guitar duel so epic that a picture of it is on the series' [[Awesome/{{Reboot}} Awesome page]].

* While the ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' cartoon was... Well, opinions vary, but the [[https://youtu.be/Kc0mD8_IGCA theme tune]] had a lovely Mediaeval feel to it.
* ''Anime/{{Robotech}}?'': [[https://youtu.be/OvZ8OmC9Bcg The 15th Squadron]], [[https://youtu.be/FBDe7LvZIh8 Roy Fokker's Theme]], [[https://youtu.be/gMsEFWO_oi0 Rick Hunter's theme]], [[https://youtu.be/0zKD-mG_FPI Battle Station]], and [[https://youtu.be/rn5cFNWeAAU Alien Attack]].

* The ''[[https://youtu.be/FKss2pBYQ6Y Super Chicken]]'' theme is as geeky as ''he'' is.

* [[https://youtu.be/ywl4WikdCN4 Tintin]] theme tune.

* "[[https://youtu.be/fcjOi_3H7gw The Underdog Theme Song]]". Who knew a very old cartoon show could have a theme song so very epic?

-->"Wherever she is, it must be in the land of epic!"
* Woody Woodpecker got one in the short ''The Barber of Seville.''

* ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfQuest''. [[https://youtu.be/e7cqLvW9E7Q The theme song]] is impossibly catchy, and pretty damn awesome too. "Save the World! The World of Quest! (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!)"

** The [[https://youtu.be/1adpjYV_4gI opening]] for ''WesternAnimation/PrydeOfTheXMen'' (the original pilot pitch for what would be reworked into the 90's series) is bombastic, energetic, and so ''gloriously'' 80's.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Phantom 2040}}'' would probably be remembered only by fans of the hero identity, or fans of Peter Chung, but it had [[https://youtu.be/Md0i8B_aPqk a really awesome opening theme]].
%%* This [[https://youtu.be/vIP7c7ut2dU song]] from the film "The Princess and the Goblin".
* The greatest [[TheVillainSucksSong Villain Sucks Song]] of all time. Sing it: [[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas You're a mean one, Mister Grinch...]] [[https://youtu.be/nzXKWKaxt3c You really aaaaare a heeeeeeeell...]]
%%* "[[https://youtu.be/ubeVUnGQOIk Walking in the Air]]" from ''ComicBook/TheSnowman''.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'':
%%** "My Name Is Mok, [[https://youtu.be/NSGIZp9bBK4 Thanks A Lot!"]]
%%** "Send Love Through."
* Might just be [[NostalgiaFilter nostalgia kicking in]], but [[http://www.retrojunk.com/tv/videos/1960-rescue-heroes/1653/#intro the theme tune]] for ''WesternAnimation/RescueHeroes'' made a show based on TheRealHeroes almost ''work''.
* Regardless of what you think about the actual cartoon, regardless of the lyrics being the same line over and over again -- [[https://youtu.be/akJygsSXcjw SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT! MEGA MAN!]]
* The opening theme to the animated versions of ''Literature/SoulMusic'' and ''Literature/WyrdSisters''. Not only is it epic, it fits the whole 'disc on the back of four elephants on the back of a turtle' thing. Listen to it with headphones on for added awesome.
** Also the soundtrack to ''Literature/SoulMusic''. As a story entirely about the Disc's first [[RockAndRoll Music With Rocks In Band]], it pays homage to a variety of bands and styles. Plus Sioni Bod Da, the music Buddy [[DealWithTheDevil sold his soul for one last chance to play]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAndCousins'', Harmony Bear's song in "Share Air" really is quite nice. It has a sort of mellow vibe like some of the music from the 80s. And unlike what happens to the bears on the show, it won't actually make you float on air, heavy instruments or no.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman''
%%** "Season of the Witch" by Music/{{Donovan}}, in the trailer (also covered in the film itself.)
%%** And "Little Ghost" by Music/TheWhiteStripes in the credits.
%%** Music/JonBrion's score. ''Especially'' what plays during the film's climax.
* The opening intro of ''WesternAnimation/BigGuyAndRustyTheBoyRobot'' is a stirring [[https://youtu.be/Ogtz7iNKIt4 Army-chorus styled]] ExpositoryThemeTune that lovingly celebrates the series' combination of {{Eagleland}} and {{Zeerust}} tropes, all while displaying some pretty gratuitous explosions to boot.
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'':
** [[https://youtu.be/ypApKTXuOxU "Enter One" by Sol Seppy]] plays at the end of Chapter 6 [[spoiler:during Avocato's HeroicSacrifice]]. On a lighter note, from the same episode, the rock score that plays when Gary and Avocato free-fall to, and then planet-jump between, the two planets of Zetakron Prime, really signifies [[spoiler:the rescue of Little Cato]] that's about to happen.
** Chapter 4 gives us a space opera version of [[https://youtu.be/6Prx9RZKCgQ "Gallows" by Shelby Merry]] when Gary and Mooncake venture out [[spoiler:to gather energy from a nearby dying star.]]
** The radio song that Gary And Mooncake cry over in chapter 7 is a more somber version of “When The Darkness Comes” by Shelby Merry.
** The haunting [[https://youtu.be/12NjLhUjyB4 "When the Night is Long" by Shelby Merry]] on chapter 9 just as [[spoiler:the Earth is being slowly destroyed.]]
** [[https://youtu.be/5095cvlrL7Q "Light Runner"]], the absolutely ''epic'' song that plays during the planet-jumping sequence.
%%** The [[https://youtu.be/zQUOwyEowOA opening theme]] tune is epic.

* The original Spanish introduction of ''[[WesternAnimation/DragonHill La Colina del Dragón]]'' [[https://youtu.be/Yp1699xqehw is simply so energetic and awe inspiring]].... even if the CGI is terribly dated (thankfully, it's followed by traditional animation rather quickly).

* The [[https://youtu.be/2x_4nCj4TI0 über-manlily awesome]] introduction of ''WesternAnimation/ConanTheAdventurer''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' has quite an ''[[https://youtu.be/8WblP-uRQ_U epic]]'' ''[[https://youtu.be/SuxRxO0Y_g4 soundtrack]]'' that manages to have quite a bit of variety to it, even the occasional classical piece sneaked in for good measure. The usage of "Mars, Bringer of War", in the episode "Hate Floats", for example... Or compare/contrast the main theme for the show with the theme for ''[[ShowWithinAShow Rusty Venture]]'', as an example of the talent of Music/JGThirlwell.

** [[https://youtu.be/XaXEo1CiCds The theme tune]], ''especially'' [[https://youtu.be/nUw-rMgRBLw the instrumental version]]. The Christmas special also had its own unique opening and ending version, complete with all the extra [[JustForPun bells and whistles]].

* [[https://youtu.be/ToedGaNN65g Cartoon Network's 20th Anniversary medley]] features an orchestra covering the themes from some of the network's finest shows. From ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Space Ghost|CoastToCoast}}''(!) to ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', this musical montage commemorates CN's 20th anniversary fantastically.

** ''AwesomeMusic/Amphibia''

* The one ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' song almost everyone knows: "I'm a poor lonesome cowboy a long way from home".

** "[=RemEmber=]." The full version in particular, which we never actually hear in the show; it's a dark song that seems to be about how Ember died, which according to WordOfGod was dying in a fire; too tired to notice because she waited for her crush for hours only to be stood up. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Because this is a kids' show]].

** "[=RemEmber=]." The full version in particular, which we never actually hear in the show; it's a dark song that seems to be about how Ember died, which was apparently due to killing herself after discovering her boyfriend was only using her for sex. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Because this is a kids' show]].

* The 1990s ''WesternAnimation/SilverSurfer'' opening sequence, short as it was, is awesome enough to contain its own OminousLatinChanting. Hear it for yourself [[https://youtu.be/84U7Nbg__64 here]], if you can tune out all the swooshing-in-space sounds that are layered on top of it.

-->-- Peter Griffin of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', being very, very meta; "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E21FamilyGuyViewerMailOne Family Guy Viewer Mail #1]]

** The intro. "Oh boy, it's swell to sayyy...'''''"...GOOD MORNING, U.S.AAAA!"'''''

** Krampus' two songs, [[https://youtu.be/CeNKuLjgVrI "You Get the Rod" and "We've Been Bad"]] in "Minstrel Krampus" are powerful soul songs performed by Music/CharlesBradley, although the latter is a duet with Steve.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': The intro "Oh boy, it's swell to sayyy...'''''"...GOOD MORNING, U.S.AAAA!"'''''

* ''AwesomeMusic/MashaAndTheBear''

** ''AwesomeMusic/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee''

* The opening theme to ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse''.
** Naturally, after all, [[BraggingThemeTune "He's the strongest,]] [[TheAce he's the quickest]] [[https://youtu.be/og85s6BbK4I he's the beeeeeeest!"]]

* The [[https://youtu.be/aQENCPSCVjg theme song]] of ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'' wasn't half bad.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfPrinceValiant'''s [[https://youtu.be/B5ptWFP1kBQ intro.]]
* ''[[WesternAnimation/MrMagoo Magoo's Christmas Carol]]'' had its share of memorable songs.
** [[https://youtu.be/Hv_YATNhu_I "Winter Was Warm".]]
** [[https://youtu.be/Eq1oJJ9M784 "The Lord's Bright Blessing".]]
** [[https://youtu.be/nFTD9o7dB0w "We're Despicable (The Plunderer's March)".]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'': Pretty much every song on the damn show, especially the opening and closing themes.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':

* [[https://youtu.be/zHD6UlOxHx0 "You and Me"]] from ''TheJetsonsMovie''

* ''Superjail!'': Pretty much every song on the damn show, especially the opening and closing themes.

** [[https://youtu.be/zmHB2UwgVAg Stuck To A Pole]] makes the classic "tongue on a flagpole" prank ''epic''.
** [[https://youtu.be/ABCZaqBtq2E Lovin' Time]] and its reprise Rowin' Time. ''Any'' of the songs so far.
** Despite its strange subject matter, [[https://youtu.be/MRpvkyy5XD8 Wake Up]] is a very awesome song, most notably at the very end.
** [[https://youtu.be/lyIe2aLesbM This Is How We Will End It]]. Muppets have never been so hardcore! Followed by "[[https://youtu.be/S5-ai0QsRK8 Versus]]", which captured the denouement of Heather's and Alejandro's relationship. The two bitterly criticize each other while viciously competing (the only way those two know how to compete). Watching "This Is How We'll End It" and "Versus" back to back is simply epic.

** [[https://youtu.be/tVr5WxrJQgA We Built Gwen's Face]] which is also a tribute to the music group ABBA.
** [[https://youtu.be/h_oZM323ioc BoyFriend Kisser]] song that, in Canada, was voted as the favorite of the audience.
* [[https://youtu.be/fcjOi_3H7gw The Underdog Theme Song]]. Who knew a very old cartoon show could have a theme song so very epic?
