Enchanted (An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack)
Alan Menken
The production values favor a theatrical, polished pop style that matches the fish-out-of-water premise of the film perfectly. It functions like an expansive Broadway show compressed into a cinematic runtime.
By balancing upbeat, character-driven songs with sweeping ballads, the record achieves a complex tone. It manages to feel like a grand, earnest musical event while maintaining the irony required by a contemporary take on classic animation motifs.
