One of the great successes of the the Walt Disney Company Animation Studios has been its ability to find winning songs and well known singers to perform them. Think “Let It Go” from Frozen! I wonder if Idina Menzel knew what was in store for her when she recorded that iconic song? This new song … [Read more…]
Disney’s finally released the trailer for the much anticipated new animated movie “Wish.” It was shared on all social channels worldwide.
