The songs are what reel you in right away, whether or not old-school show tunes are your thing. Written by Robert Lopez (Avenue Q) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (the married team responsible for the music in 2011's underseen Winnie The Pooh), they're packed with hooks and full-bodied emotional power, the kind more or less absent from Disney's animated musicals since Beauty and The Beast. They're bold, almost maddeningly pushy songs, relevant to the story and passing the most important litmus test: they feel necessary, their absence would diminish the movie.
