The listener vote was launched in July to mark 50 years of classic, feel-good, animated movie songs. The Top 50 will feature in a special countdown show, hosted by OJ Borg, which airs later today from 2-5pm on BBC Radio 2. BBC Radio 2 listeners have been voting for their favourite Animated Movie Song, with Toy Story’s You’ve Got a Friend in Me coming out on top.
