The Second Star to the Right is the opening song of the 1953 Disney animated feature Peter Pan. It was written by Sammy Fain (music) and Sammy Cahn (lyrics) and published in 1951, with the film version sung by an offscreen chorus—the Jud Conlon Chorus and The Mellomen. The song introduces Neverland and tells listeners that following the second star to the right will lead you to dreamlike places, guiding the Darling children on their journey and returning instrumentally after the opening credits. It appears on the Peter Pan soundtrack as the film’s musical core and is classified as a classic Disney film musical ballad. The tune has been widely covered in many languages and by various artists, including a Spanish adaptation Aquella estrella de allá.
