AceShowbiz - Neil Patrick Harris is teaming up with Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez for the upcoming 87th Academy Awards on February 22. The songwriters behind "Frozen (2013)" hit soundtrack "Let It Go" are enlisted to write "an original multimedia, musical sequence" dubbed "Moving Pictures" for the Oscar host.
"We love the Oscars and have always been huge Neil Patrick Harris fans, so when he asked us to write him a song for this year's show we said, 'Yes!' before he could finish the sentence -- it's possible he may have been asking us for something else," the husband-wife duo said. "We are having so much fun collaborating, and have even enjoyed weaving our experience as Oscar nominees into the song."
"On the heels of the international success of last year's 'Frozen' and their Oscar for 'Let It Go,' we couldn't be happier to have Kristen and Bobby Lopez write an incredibly special song for Neil Patrick Harris and special guests to perform this year on the Oscar stage," Oscars' producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron stated. "YouTube, get ready!"
