Brandon BedoreDeo Colburn EssayThis year, unbelievably, I had a transformative experience through Disneys Oscar award winning film, Frozen. It may seem childish to put a Disney film in a scholarship essay but I have seen the movie eight times now and I can safely say it is a deep movie beyond traditional movie musicals. Frozen not only provides two strong female characters but it also warns of the dangers of rushed love. Disney has made a major shift from The Cinderella story to a more realistic presentation of the world and that shift is evident in the artistic teams they assemble. Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez not only wrote the movies catchy songs but Robert has won Tonys for Book of Mormon and Avenue Q. As a musical theatre major, their repute was especially impactful because here are serious musicians writing music for Disney with an equally serious cast. If they can work for Disney professionally at such a high-level why cant I? I then started to search the Internet for Disney audition locations and offerings and came across a college program through Disney that could assure me a stable job when I exit my university setting. Through a few degrees of separation, Frozen has actually opened my eyes to a brand new career choice that does not involve me waiting tables in between auditions and that is rather transformative in my eyes.
