That's it! Alan Menken should get Kristen to be his go to lyricist and not use Glenn Slater as much.

Good lord, that opening song's lyrics man! :o

Isn't Robert Lopez writing the lyrics as well? Thought it was a joint effort, not that he did the music and she the lyrics.

It's always been known that Robert is only doing the music (for the songs) and Kristen is the one who's writing ALL the lyrics.

So Kristoff doesn't sing anything other than the reindeer song?

How disappointing.. I really wanted him to be in the reprise with Anna..

I can't judge the lyrics because I feel like it's unfair without the music. so I'll just wait :)

I really really dont think that scene equates to the "it" moment of the film, like Rafiki holding up Simba.
At first I was kind of disappointed to hear that but after thinking about it, it feels like it would be kind of cheesy and a case of "telling instead of showing" within the context of the movie.

Maia Wilson is going to be amazing in that troll song!

I love the melody of Do You Want to Build a Snowman. I hope that song will be in the finale. :)

Wow Love is an Open Door sounds so different from any other "Disney love song" that I have heard of. :o

So far, I'm loving this and as of today: ONE MONTH LEFT!

It is very pretty. Actually, it reminds me of "I Know It's Today" from the Shrek musical, albeit not as angsty. (Probably the only person here who has seen it. :P )

Those all sound really good. We've heard a little bit of every song now and I'm impressed. Definitely more Broadway and epic than Tangled.

It's quite relaxing to know that Disney is now comfortable for bringing more "Broadway epicness" to Frozen than Tangled.

What's funny is that Fixer Upper is kind of like a different version of Dig a Little Deeper but with better lyrics of course. :lol:

And those are just the B-songs! Let It Go and FTFTIF are the main events :D

I already can't get Fixer Upper out of my head after just a couple listens to that short clip.

This really has to be the most Broadway like Disney movie I have ever seen. :up:

When this movie comes out I have a feeling the songs will be apart of a thousand amv's on youtube.

I was not impressed by Let It Go (the pop version) after hearing it once, but after I bought it on iTunes I have listened to it over and over again, and now I like it a lot. An epic song with an important message befitting Disney and this movie I think.

"Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" sounds beautiful.

I'm very happy with all I'm hearing. It sounds amazing. And this may not be Menken's work, his influence on Disney appears permanent. Bobby is carefully tracing Menken/Howard's footsteps here. "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" and "For The First Time In Forever" sound like 90s Disney.

Fantastic work.

I'm literally crying. Fixer Upper sounds INCREDIBLE. By far, my new favorite song so far! DYWNTBAS & FTFTIF sounds gorgeous! LIAD sounds better than I thought

" U want to Build..." is my love at first sight song... a mix between "ur mother an mine", "healing incantation" and a Bambi song... What a moving lullaby, what a typically bitter sweet Disney tune, what a wonderful melodic pattern ( that Beck uses in his score he says )... And it's sung by growing up Anna, including the mourning episod... I am gonna cry.

And yes, Fixer Upper is a wonderful, so much better version of Mama Odie's ong ! That song, and the Hans/Anna duet are so funny, catchy, Disneyish !!!!

I was a little afraid lately about the quality of the songs, but now i can feel the Lopez are genius ! Lyrics of "Frozen Heart" are perfectly poetic and complex and beautiful, in the great tradition of "Fathoms Below" and "Steady as the Beating Drum"...

That score is really gonna be SOMETHING ! Give it NOW...

:milkbuds:

Can you say that this movie is really going to knock the public's socks off? :D

I better hope they hit it big at the Annies because this time Disney really went out the way of making a masterpiece. I believe each CGI film that has come out lately has shown that Disney is growing the beard more and more in the quality department.

I'm going to be the oddball here, honestly from those short clips I really think those songs sound, well, kind of girly. Especially 'Fixer Upper' and 'Do you want to build a snowman.' But maybe the whole songs sound good. But I like that love song, I like that kind of music, sounds good. In those clips most of my attention was to the animatic, like in Fixer Upper :P
