“The Right Side” is a song with a unique history within Disney’s musical repertoire. Originally written by the Sherman Brothers for the 1964 film Mary Poppins, it was intended to be performed by Mary Poppins to Michael Banks when he woke up feeling cranky. However, the song was ultimately cut from the final film.
In 1983, the song found new life when it was adapted for the Disney Channel television series Welcome to Pooh Corner. In this version, it served as Winnie the Pooh’s personal theme song, emphasizing the importance of starting the day with a positive attitude.
The lyrics of “The Right Side” encourage listeners to focus on the bright side of life, highlighting simple joys like friends, games, and sweet treats. This uplifting message aligns with the show’s themes of friendship and positivity.
In 2014, the song was included in The Legacy Collection: Mary Poppins, a compilation album celebrating the film’s music. This release introduced the song to a new generation, showcasing its enduring charm.
