Musical storytelling has always found a natural fit with animated films. Perhaps it’s because we often equate a person’s singing/music with their having a soul. Musical numbers help us to be moved by hand or computer-rendered drawings, interpreting them as sentient and real. 

“Part of Your World” is a classic “I Want” song. This type of song/storytelling device is borrowed directly from Broadway musicals, helping the audience to know exactly what the main character wants, to empathize with that want and hope for the character to get it.
