I want to build a snowman

I saw Disney's Frozen this month with the SF Movie Bears and laughed riotously all the way through it. I was hoping to see it again with the 6-year-old nephew and the family over the holidays but couldn't find the time. And Mom had are lady taken him to it. Still: funny.

On YouTube Disney released an HD version of Idina Menzel's Broadway-belting number "Let It Go," which I can't seem to stop playing over and over.


I looked up the soundtrack on iTunes and surprising found it wanting. The catching and plaintive song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" deserved a full treatment and not just the intermittent snippets from the movie. I remember thinking in the theater that the two sisters should have really returned to that exchange and song and I expected to hear it again at the end of the film to wrap things back together.

It turns out I'm not the only one who thought Frozen needed a reprise of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman," as one fan went so far as to write, score, and record a reprise, and match it with animation from the movie (although I wonder how she got that scene to re-edit). It's beautiful too. I wonder what the creatives at the studio think of this.


I think it's delightful.
