Super Bowl XLVIII MVP Malcolm Smith’s got to utter the famous phrase on Sunday night “I’m going to Disney World” after his team, the Seattle Seahawks, won the big game 43-8 over the Denver Broncos. Each year, the Super Bowl MVP gives this excited response about going to Disney World (or sometimes to Disneyland, depending on where the game is held) when asked on the football field immediately after the win – “You’ve just won the Super Bowl. What are you going to do next?”

On Monday, the Seahawks linebacker arrived in Orlando, FL, from the New York/New Jersey area where the game took place the night before, to take part in Disney World’s celebratory Super Bowl parade at the Magic Kingdom park.

Check out a video here below of part of the parade, as well as some words from Smith about his whirlwind experience.

You’ll never want to “let it go” after taking a listen, as the soundtrack for Frozen, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest film, freezes your mind (and ears) in captivation. The tunes by Avenue Q songwriters Kristen-Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez, as well as the strong score by Christophe Beck, swirl together in perfect rhythm. The combination of songs – worthy of being on your iPod playlist – and powerful tracks make Frozen not only one of Disney’s best soundtracks in recent years, but also one of the best film soundtracks you can purchase this year or any year.

Here are some thoughts on the individual songs and tracks from the Frozen soundtrack, which is available now on CD, Deluxe Edition CD, and MP3 Download. I’ve also notate my five favorite pieces.

Frozen, Disney’s latest animated feature, is up for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film, but it also scored an Oscar nod for Best Original Song for “Let It Go.” The triumphant tune is sung by actress Idina Menzel (the Tony Award-winning actress who earned her stripes on Broadway as the Wicked Witch in Wicked), who also voices the character Elsa, while former Disney Channel star Demi Lovato provided a pop-oriented version for the film’s end credits.

Now, Walt Disney Studios has released a video of “Let It Go” with samples from 25 languages in the sequence from Frozen where the ice queen Elsa goes into self-imposed exile.

Breathtaking, bewitching, and beautiful are among the words that come to mind when I see snowfall. Similarly, these same words can describe Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 53rd feature film. Frozen, perhaps the most winning formula for the studio since 1999’s Tarzan, blends together a flurry of deep characters, compelling storylines, masterfully-written music and stunning animation. Brace yourself for a surprising ride that features more unexpected storytelling turns than you might expect. Let’s dash off into a review of Frozen.

Ever since I first heard an early version of the show-stopping ballad “Let It Go” at the August 2012 Destination D event, I knew this film would be special. This tale, loosely-based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, had potential – at least in its music department. But I will dive into that shortly. Let us first explore the story.

The first trailer for Disney’s Frozen was a relatively disappointing one. But you’ll definitely warm up to the full theatrical trailer for the upcoming animated film from Chris Buck (Tarzan) and Jennifer Lee (Wreck-It Ralph).

Watch the full trailer here below.

Frozen centers on Anna (voiced by Kirsten Bell) a fearless adventurer who partners up with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), an extreme mountain man, to find her sister, the Snow Queen (Idina Menzel), and put an end to a spell that has trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.
