4. The Huns Attack
5. Be Prepared

I just noticed that the movies you listed are in the same exact order as mine, at least in terms of which movie they come from. Coincidence?

What do you mean?

Here:
1. Both songs are from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
2. Both songs from The Little Mermaid
3. Both songs are from the Beauty and the Beast
4. Both songs are from Mulan
5. Both songs are from The Lion King

Are the chances of that happening by chance lower or higher than me trolling?

Given a list of five songs, the chances of them being in a particular order are one in 120.

However, getting the right movies is another matter.
Not counting touchstone and other labels which I can't get a count for (Nightmare Before Christmas is owned by Disney but under a different label), there are 53 musical Disney movies: http://www.disneymovieslist.com/musical ... movies.asp
The number would be higher in reality, but that's a good lower bound.

The chances of picking any five randomly (given I only considered using one song from a movie, and not listing two or more from the same movie) in that order out of 53 are, I believe, about one in 351,114,400. The actual chances would be lower due to a larger selection of movies I couldn't count, but also may be higher due to a smaller number of movies that are more popular and are considered generally to have the best songs, but somewhere in that ball park.

So, yes, unless I was subconsciously influenced to do so, you can assume it was deliberate.

I'm still not sure what to make of this even with these statistics. It was most likely deliberate..

This actually looks like a pretty good ranking by popularity:
