This article is very clear well-written. Some minor suggestions are below:
Lead
Due to Kristoff's non-musical personality in Frozen, Groff hardly sings in the first Frozen film despite his musical theatre experience, by which critics and fans were disappointed. Very minor point to aid clarity - perhaps change to "Due to Kristoff's non-musical personality in Frozen, Groff hardly sings in the first Frozen film despite his musical theatre experience, which disappointed fans and critics."
As someone who isn't very familiar with the plot, I was a bit confused about how Kristoff has just mistakenly proposed to Yelena, leader of the Northuldra tribe. Would it be possible to add a bit extra to this sentence to explain how this happened?
Sure. I added "Kristoff has just accidentally proposed to Yelena, leader of the Northuldra tribe, whose silhouette he has mistaken for Anna's".--Changedforbetter (talk) 17:14, 30 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Weezer version
A full-stop is needed at the end of the first paragraph.
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
Background
Disney has attributed Kristoff's lack of a song in Frozen to his characterization, explaining that a complete musical number would have been inappropriate for the character's personality and role in the film since, for the most part, he is "not the kind of character to break into song". I think this needs a name attribution as it's a direct quote (from Kay McGuire).
and struggled to understand how his character could sing an entire song in the sequel without merely "shoehorn[ing] in a song" with little plot relevance... This could do with attribution as well. Reading the sentence, I thought it was a direct quote from Groff but instead it's summarising him and the Lopezes.
Its "intentionally cheesy" musical sequence is reminiscent of music videos from the 1980s... Another one where a name might be useful. (E.g. "according to X, its "intentionally cheesy"...")
Fixed. Revised to "Its "intentionally cheesy" musical sequence is reminiscent of music videos from the 1980s, according to Jocelyn Noveck of the Associated Press".--Changedforbetter (talk) 17:24, 30 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Music and lyrics
Feeling "lost in the emotional landscape of a relationship" This one could do with a name attribution as well.
Weezer previously covered "You Might Think" from Disney & Pixar's Cars 2. A citation needed tag has appeared for this statement. I've found a couple of possible sources for this claim, but feel free to add another: [1][2]
I see an IP editor has added (whom previously produced Fall Out Boy's Immortals from Disney's Big Hero 6), which is unsourced. As per your comment above, this probably isn't relevant to Lost in the Woods so I'd suggest removing.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
Writing and recording
Ref [29] (Kidsworld) strikes me as being a less reliable source, and ref [18] (Iowa State Daily) covers the same information anyway. I'd suggest removing ref [29].
Ref [75]: Are piano arrangements of pop songs a reliable source for information about the original song? And is the arrangement from Musicnotes an official Disney arrangement? The publication is administered by Walt Disney Publishing but I'm not sure if that means it's a reliable replica of the studio recording.
Several music and song-related articles use sheet music published on Musicnotes as their source for the original recording's key and tempo, so long as the publisher is legitimate - in this case, it doesn't get more legitimate than Walt Disney Music Publishing.--Changedforbetter (talk) 14:50, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, that makes sense :)
Ref [79] mentions "Peter Sitara", but I'm assuming that they mean Peter Cetera?
