Did China Just Rip Off “Frozen” For Their Olympic Theme Song?

As part of its official bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics, China released a companion song called “The Ice and Snow Dance”. The song is meant to evoke a feeling of wintery beauty and athletic triumph. However there’s one small problem with the composition and it’s the absence of Idina Menzel. From the opening piano bars to the build to the chorus, the song seems to borrow entire chunks from the inescapable princess anthem “Let It Go”. Some are calling it a complete knock-off, while others are defending the song. The video above is a side by side comparison showcasing the two songs at various sync points. You be the judge!
