For [[The Walt Disney Company]], Rice has collaborated individually with [[Alan Menken]] and [[Elton John]], creating productions including ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' (winning an [[Academy Award for Best Original Song]], [[Golden Globe]] and [[Grammy Award for Song of the Year]] for "[[A Whole New World]]" in 1992) and ''[[The Lion King]]'' (winning an Academy Award and Golden Globe for "[[Can You Feel the Love Tonight]]" in 1994).

Rice reunited with Andrew Lloyd Webber in 2011 to pen new songs for Lloyd Webber's newest production of ''[[The Wizard of Oz (2011 musical)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' which opened in March 2011 at the [[London Palladium]]. Rice has since, however, rejected working with Lloyd Webber again, claiming their partnership has run its course, and they are "no longer relevant as a team".<ref>{{cite news |author=Matt Trueman |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2012/mar/26/lloyd-webber-rice-partnership-over?INTCMP=SRCH |title=Tim Rice rules out collaborating again with Andrew Lloyd Webber |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=26 March 2012 |access-date=27 June 2013}}</ref>
