The latest animated musical fantasy Frozen revolves around princess Elsa, who sets off on a journey alongside an iceman, his reindeer, and a snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped their kingdom in eternal winter. It is the only soundtrack for an animated film to be certified Diamond (10× platinum) by the Recording Industry Association of America. This became the fourth-best-selling album of the year on the Billboard 200 and the top-selling soundtrack.

Lyricist Tim Rice, along with John Elton wrote five original songs for the film (“Circle of Life”, “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King”, “Be Prepared”, “Hakuna Matata”, and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”), with John’s performance of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” playing over the end credits. Also, who doesn’t remember the famous song “Hakuna Matata”. The film even today leaves us teary eyed when baby Simba loses his father. The film encapsulates the tale of a young and determined Simba, who wants to end Scar’s tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King. Who can forget the musical fantasy drama revolving around the cute little lion Simba and his journey to become a king and avenge his father Mufasa’s death by the evil uncle Scar. The music for the song was by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice, has been respired over the years with the latest being by Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward, who did their version of the song for the live-action version of Aladdin. Along with the plot, the song “A Whole New World ” which is the theme as well as love song in film, won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 36th Annual Grammy Awards, the first and so far only Disney song to win in the category. Aladdin’s wit, Genie’s humour and comic timing and Abu’s mischief along with the princess Jasmine has been stealing our hearts forever. The clever street boy disguises himself as a wealthy prince and tries to impress the Sultan and his daughter, Princess Jasmine and what follows is hilarious, emotional and absolutely magical. The animated musical fantasy comedy based on the Arabic folktale of the same name from the One Thousand and One Nights has always been an audience favourite due to the trio Aladdin, Genie and Abu. Also, a fun fact which makes this film all the more special as The Little Mermaid was considered by some as “the film that brought Broadway into cartoons”.Alan Menken wrote the Oscar-winning score, and collaborated with Howard Ashman on the songs. The film was a quintessential love story of how the good wins over evil and the beloved couple live a happily ever afterlife.

The animated musical fantasy film was everything a girl dreamt off, a beautiful mermaid named Ariel, who dreams of becoming human and falls in love with a human prince named Eric, which leads her to make a magic deal with the sea witch, Ursula, to become human and be with him.
