Four years later, Collins composed the songs for Disney's Brother Bear, including "Welcome", this time taking a bigger role in recording the score alongside Mark Mancina.

In 2002, Collins was named a Disney Legend, claiming the record in shortest time after his first Disney-related contribution (in 1996, when he first started to write the music for Tarzan), until he was overtaken by Anika Noni Rose in 2011 for her role in The Princess and the Frog.
Collins was born at Putney Hospital in Wandsworth, southwest London. His father, Greville Philip Austin Collins, was an insurance agent for London Assurance. His mother, Winifred June (née Strange), worked in a toy shop and later as a booking agent at the Barbara Speake Stage School, an independent performing arts school in East Acton. Collins is the youngest of three children; his sister Carole competed as a professional ice skater and followed her mother's footsteps as a theatrical agent, and his brother Clive was a noted cartoonist. The family moved twice by the time Collins had reached two; they settled at 453 Hanworth Road in Hounslow, Middlesex.
Collins was given a toy drum kit for Christmas when he was five, and his two uncles later made him a makeshift set with triangles and tambourines that fitted into a suitcase. As Collins grew older, these were followed by more complete sets bought by his parents. He practiced by playing along to music on the television and radio. During a family holiday at Butlin's, a seven-year-old Collins entered a talent contest singing "", but stopped the orchestra halfway through to tell them they were in the wrong key. Collins was also influenced by jazz and big band drummer , whose opinion on the importance of the hi-hat prompted him to stop using two bass drums and start using the hi-hat.
