Alan Menken, the John Williams of Disney animated classics, has delivered new versions of his 1989 compositions for the new version of the film. Two songs in particular have been reworked in a more inclusive way.
Menken: There was a funny and mischievous side to these songs whose lyrics, at the time, did not offend anyone. The film marks my first collaboration with Lin-Manuel Miranda (the new child prodigy of music in Hollywood) We signed the new songs together. It takes a truly fantastic new look.
