Section Title:
Disney, Broadway, Songwriting
Section Info:
This course examines the synergy between established Broadway songwriters and Disney film musicals from the late 1980s to the present. Since Snow White in 1937, films produced by the Disney Company have employed and adapted musical styles, song types, and creative personnel active on and off Broadway. The success of The Little Mermaid (1989) and Beauty and the Beast (1991) ushered in a new era of collaboration between experienced songwriters and the film industry, in which the conventions of musical theater reshaped film scores and narratives.
