The film's score is written by accomplished songwriter and Broadway composer Alan Menken, who has worked on a number of Disney films: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Newsies, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Home on the Range, and The Shaggy Dog. Fellow Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz (The Prince of Egypt, Pippin, and Wicked) has written the lyrics for six songs, also composed by Menken. Menken and Schwartz previously worked together on the score and songs for Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
