Which Disney film features the song 'Let It Go'?

The story behind the answer

Which Disney film features the song “Let It Go”? The song appears in Disney’s 2013 animated film Frozen.

In the film, Idina Menzel performs “Let It Go” as Elsa, the queen whose uncontrolled ice powers have been exposed. Elsa retreats to the mountains and builds an ice palace, using the song to express her decision to stop hiding her abilities and live independently. The sequence is a major turning point in her character arc.

The song was written by married songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Disney released another version over the end credits, performed by Demi Lovato, but Menzel’s dramatic rendition is the version heard during the story itself. This distinction sometimes causes confusion when people discuss the film’s soundtrack.

“Let It Go” became one of Disney’s best-known modern songs. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and helped make Frozen a major international success. It is not from Tangled, Moana, or The Princess and the Frog, even though those films also feature prominent musical numbers.
