Alan Menken on Disney’s Tangled

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with composer Alan Menken about Walt Disney’s new animated feature, Tangled. I posted the interview here: Alan Menken interview. Though I embarrassed myself by asking about a song on the soundtrack which Menken did not write, (“Something I Want”, which plays over the end credits), I appreciated the opportunity to briefly talk with the composer and co-writer of one of my favorite Disney animated musicals, The Little Mermaid, about his new soundtrack. Tangled opens for a Thanksgiving release on Wednesday, Nov. 24.
