These sources include news interviews with Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Lin Manuel Miranda, Julia Michaels, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez, Alan Menken, and Glenn Slater about Moana 2, Wish, Frozen 2, Frozen, Encanto and Tangled. They also include links to panels, YouTube videos, and podcasts. I'd really encourage you to watch the interviews with Glenn Slater in particular.

Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Disney Animated Movies. This video talks about movies such as Wish, Moana 2, Frozen 2, Frozen, and Tangled, but it also discusses The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame from the Disney Reinassance. This video will cover the soulless death of the Disney movie musical, what is happening to Disney movies in the present day, why Disney songs suck so bad lately, and who is responsible for this downfall. If you would like to watch a video about why Disney's 'I Want' songs suck, I have a video about that in particular on this channel. This video is not just about the songs themselves, but how the changes to the creative process at Disney is causing the movies to become worse. It goes beyond Disney's musical reluctance or Hollywood's musical problem - it is much worse than you think! And I hope this video will finally be able to expose it all!

![Its not just you... Disneys I Want Songs ARE worse now. heres why.
Between This Wish from Wish, Beyond from Moana 2, and Waiting On A Wish from the new live action Snow White - Disney CANNOT make a good I Want song lately. But why? What does an I Want song need in order to work not only for the plot, but also for the viewer to get emotionally invested? By comparing old Disney to New Disney, we are covering 5 questions every I Want song must answer, and 5 tools that writers use to do it (or... not do it 💀)! This video is all about character building and storytelling as we dive into why Disney was so magical and how theyve lost their magic!
00:00 - Why make a musical anyway?
02:12 - Tool 1. Every (compelling) Disney lead has THIS in common
07:46 - Tool 2. We always see characters DO THIS
13:00 - Tool 3. Characters must express a willingness to...
17:25 - Tool 4. What makes us care?
21:46 - Secret Tool 5. What new Disney movies FAIL to do
24:48 - NEVER Make this mistake
