Alan Menken

Uit HitStory, de popencyclopedie van School of Rock · Artiest

Alan Menken (geboren in 1949 in New York) begon in het theater. Met tekstschrijver Howard Ashman schreef hij de musical Little Shop of Horrors, die in 1986 werd verfilmd. Daarna haalde Disney het duo binnen. The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991) en Aladdin (1992) brachten de Broadwaymusical naar de tekenfilm, met een vast type lied: het 'I want'-nummer waarin de hoofdpersoon vertelt wat ze verlangt. Dit luidde de zogeheten Disney-renaissance in. Ashman overleed in 1991. Menken werkte daarna met andere tekstschrijvers, zoals Glenn Slater voor Tangled (2010). Hij won acht Oscars.
