    Another very talent writer, Aaron Edson, would be a great fit for Disney. He's known mostly for writing the dozens of GREAT songs for the Liken series. You can hear clips at LikenIt.com

    ORDDU: What we really wish is that Alan Menken could write the songs for RAPUNZEL. He couldn't possibly fail in doing that, what with all the obvious talent he has displayed in the past.

    Again, it just goes to show what bringing in different talents can do.
