The animated movie musical is back in vogue, according to the Los Angeles Times[1]. The biggest sign of the change has been on the music charts. “For the first time in 20 years, a soundtrack from an animated film has been No. 1 on the Billboard charts for 10 weeks. This week, Disney’s fairy tale Frozen displaced 1994’s The Lion King to become the top-selling animated movie soundtrack of all time. It’s not the only music from an animated film that’s hot right now: Happy, Pharrell Williams’ ubiquitous mood booster from Despicable Me 2, has been No. 1 on the single charts for eight weeks.”
