Disney and Lin-Manuel Miranda are a match made in Instagram heaven.

The artist took over Disney's Instagram on Sunday in the best way possible: by singing his favorite Disney tunes. The Hamilton creator chose his music from such Disney hits as Rescue Rangers, Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Newsies.

Could there be anyone more popular than Miranda right now?

Miranda did the promotion in advance of the upcoming movie, Moana, which includes music Miranda himself composed.

Miranda's takeover seems to have been an immediate hit. Guest appearance by Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson went a long way too.

Watch, cry and croon.
