When it comes to princess songs, there's no bigger name in the game than Alan Menken. That's why Skydance Animation turned to the legendary eight-time Oscar winner to write music for and score its sweeping new animated musical "Spellbound.

BroadwayWorld sat down with Alan Menken and Glenn Slater to discuss their new animated musical Spellbound and what makes it different from previous projects from the composer and lyricist team. Watch the exclusive interview here!

When composer Alan Menken first joined the animated film “Spellbound,” the prospect of writing the score and songs felt “exciting and terrifying at the same time” because the story “defied a formulaic approach.

"Spellbound" is the latest in a long line of animated films that Menken, who lives just outside of Ridgefield, has worked on. He has composed scores for several Disney films, including "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "Pocahontas," "Hercules," "Tangled" and "Beauty and the Beast."
