Dreams to Dream

Dreams to Dream is a song by James Horner and Will Jennings, based on a short instrumental piece from An American Tail (which can be heard in the Orphan Alley scene), appearing in the 1991 animated film An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. There are two versions of that song, one with Cathy Cavadini performing Tanya's version and the other being Linda Ronstadt performing the finale version, both for that film. Released as a single on MCA in late 1991, the song climbed to #13 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart but did not cross over to the Hot 100. The music video features Ronstadt performing the song intercut with clips from Fievel Goes West. The composition was nominated in 1992 for a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture.

Personnel

The song was originally going to be sung by Celine Dion. However, because "Somewhere Out There" did well, Horner and Jennings decided to once again give it to Ronstadt. A few weeks later, Dion was offered the title theme song from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Dion would later reunite with Horner and Jennings in 1997 to record "My Heart Will Go On" for the film Titanic.
