You can chalk up the worldwide success of the 2013 Disney animated film Frozen to a lot of factors, from its female-driven story to its comic-relief snowman who loves warm hugs.
to a lot of factors, from its female-driven story to its comic-relief snowman who loves warm hugs. But more than anything else, what made the film such a hit was its Oscar-winning music, from songwriting team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. “Let It Go” became one of the most popular and ubiquitous numbers of the last decade, either within film or just on pop radio. So it’s no surprise thathas songs aplenty, including at least one that’s surely meant to be the new “Let It Go.
The former song feels very much like this movie’s attempt at a second “Let It Go,” as Elsa sings out to the wilderness beyond Arendelle, having heard a mysterious voice calling her toward an enchanted forest and her true destiny. Yet “Show Yourself,” Elsa’s solo during a dark journey of the soul wherein she learns more about what that personal destiny, is a much more powerful song with a better tune and more descriptive lyrics. “Into the Unknown” is catchy, of course .
“Lost in the Woods” is a chance for Lopez and Anderson-Lopez to once again stretch their comedic muscles as songwriters. Though Kristoff’s love for Anna is real, and his frustration at not being able to put a ring on her finger genuine, “Lost in the Woods” is a hilarious throwback to the power ballads of the 1980s, down to how the song is visualized like a music video that might have featured a hair-metal band doing a slow number.
