I hate the suggestions for things like Tangled and Frozen that there should be more songs in the second half. The musical numbers are at the points in the film where the creative team felt the story would best be told by musical numbers. Anyone who thinks that "it's been too long since the last song" is a reasonable justification for adding a song has already lost any chance they ever had of creating something with artistic integrity.

It's not animated nor a Disney film though it was made by Touchstone but I've always thought The Proposal would work as a play or musical

I believe that it's currently unused, as Disney has largely managed to shake off its never-accurate kids-only reputation. There was also a distribution deal with DreamWorks but that has come to an end too. (Cue the next pedantic person, to nitpick my summary and provide even greater detail.) |

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Hercules, which in my opinion has one of the best movie scores ever! That is something I would love to see onstage. Agreed! LOVE the score in this.... and imagine the muses! I think it would lend itself really well to the stage. |
