We risk kick-starting a phenomenon by saying this, but the song “Let It Go†from Disney’s 2013 animated film Frozen has got to be one of the most memorable (both good and not-so-good connotations) musical pieces in the whole Animated Canon. For years afterwards, children have been prone to spontaneously singing it out loud as soon as they hear it.
“Let It Go†is also remarkable in how Disney marketed it to showcase their extensive initiative of dubbing their animated movies into many languages, making them more accessible to more countries around the world. That includes translating the songs too.
Down below is a list of the languages featured in the special music video released by Disney, “Let It Go: Multilanguageâ€, which has 25 singers including original interpreter (and English VA for Elsa) Idina Menzel, singing a line or two in the official dub languages, and stitched into one whole.
