8 Reasons Why Frozen Is The Best Disney Film In A Generation

5. Let It Go

Speaking of Let It Go, it is a rousing brilliant musical number very much in the same vein as Defying Gravity from Wicked. This is unsurprising given the Idina Menzel connection, and Let It Go must be the definitive song for the last decade from a Disney film. It's certainly on the same level as the wonderful Defying Gravity, simply because of the power of Idina Menzel's performance. Of course the amusing thing is that in order to promote the song, it was re-recorded by Demi Lovato. But Disney couldn't have expected the reaction to Menzel's version of the song. In most countries it charted far higher than the Lovato version, including getting to number 1 in the South Korean chart and number sixteen in Ireland. Remember that this was for a version of the song which wasn't being promoted as a single. The song was also pivotal in the story of Elsa within the film, as it turned Elsa from what appeared to be a villain into someone who desired the freedom to be herself. That is a feeling that most people can understand, and helped the viewer to see a different side of Elsa that had only briefly been portrayed at that point during the film. All in all, Let It Go is a brilliant, memorable and very catchy song.
