Frozen (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

When it talks about Disney Animation in recent years, it must be Frozen that comes to our mind first. Being both fun and inspiring, Frozen was highly praised, even accumulated nearly $1.3 billion worldwide. Considering of its success, maybe Frozen is more a musical than an animation. 
Compared with other animations, Frozen does have excellent background music, but also puts much more emphasis on the songs like "Let it go", "For the First Time in Forever" etc. Simple Lyrics and light-hearted rhythm might be factors of being catchy songs, especially "Let it Go". Moreover, the reason of having an arrangement similar to broadway comedy, that is songs sung by people instead of music only with instruments, featuring a new way to enjoy this anime as a musical. 
Scene of "Frozen Heart"
First of all, the whole movie begins with "Vuelie (feat. Cantus)", creating an atmosphere of the native but amazing magical world. Next, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" and other ones play an important role to illustrate the story and express the mood with the scripts combined with lyrics. Of course, "Let it Go" is a good example of describing Elsa's loneliness. "In Summer" would be Olaf's turn to show off, an interesting and funny snowman.

Funny snowman Olaf with his summer dream, "In Summer"
Between these scenes, the soundtracks behind, or we say background musics can not be absent. The chasing scene with "Return to Arendelle", Elsa's fear of her power with "Sorcery", and the last moment "Whiteout", while Anna is turned into an ice block by curse. Last but not the least, "The Great Thaw" and "Epilogue" combine each important parts of whole anime, and come to the final with happy ending.

  4. Despite I haven't seen it before, the original soundtracks of it is really popular and classical. After reading your essay,I would seriously consider whether to see it or not.
