I am a born and bred Disney fan.  My favorite movie growing up was Snow White.  I remember forcing my parents to follow me around the house while we sing "Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, It's off to work we go", and I would cower behind the couch when the Evil Queen transformed to trick Snow White into eating the poisoned apple.  I eventually came to the realization that there were other movies other than Snow White in the world, and began watching as many Disney movies as I could find.  After mastering my choreographed Snow White song and dance routine, eventually I added songs like "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story, "Go the Distance" from Hercules, "Strangers Like Me" from Tarzan, and "A Girl Worth Fighting For" in Mulan to my repertoire.

It seems like Disney does an extraordinary job marketing its music as well as its movies.  When people talk about their favorite Disney movies, it often seems like they don't pull out a quote some character said, but instead part of a song form the movie.  When a new Disney movie is released, it's like the music goes everywhere.  Recently with Disney's new movie Frozen, "Let it Go" was playing all over the place.  Just by browsing through the internet, I knew enough of the songs from Frozen to sing along during most of the movie.  If you heard an above average, possibly extremely talented person singing along to all the songs during Frozen at AMC Theaters in Tysons Corner, I'd like to apologize with this blog post.  What caused me to do this extremely rude and charitable act?  How is viewer experience affected by the addition of catchy songs during the movie?  All questions will be potentially answered in future blog posts.
