Since their conception, animated films have been associated with music. In part, this is because of Disney, whose genre of escapist fairytales has ensured the studio’s success when it comes to movie-musicals. Many of their animated films have been transformed into stage shows (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid), and this popularity has led other animation studios to incorporate musical numbers into their own films, such as 20th Century Fox’s Anastasia (1997) and DreamWorks Animation’s The Prince of Egypt (1998).
