"Let It Go" from Frozen

What happens when you put a straight-up power ballad in the
middle of a Disney movie? "Let it Go" happens, that's what. On
this episode, Kirk climbs to the top of a snowy peak and summons
all his magical powers to figure out why Elsa of Arendelle's
self-coronation song rocks as hard as it does, and what it says
about the evolution of Disney musical numbers over the past 30
years.
