Can you guess what it's based on? Prize for the first correct answer!

This is good. It has a familiarity but I can't think where from. A film
theme perhaps?
Nope! It's probably been used in a film at some point. Thinking
about it, probably quite a few films.
Keep guessing!
The descending bass followed by a IV-V-I is such a classic that it must
have been used thousands of times. It's bound to sound familiar whatever
you put on top of it.
It has more than that in common with the mystery track.
Maybe it just sounds obvious to me because I *know* where it's from.
Here's a hint then:

That's the piano part I wrote while listening to the original piece.
It sounds almost exactly like it. This was then used in my track,
speeded up or heavily low-passed, with new pianos, synths, drums,
etc. You can still hear it at the start quite well and at the end
it's the jingly bell-like sound.
