Coincidences

I'm glad I'm not paranoid. If I were I would suspect that I've been plagiarized by Disney Studios. Why? Because 25 years ago I sent them my concept for a musical called, at the time, The Clouds of Adverstein. (I had a connection at the time because I was creative director for CBS TV Guide advertising.) It was rejected. A large part of the plot and the title of one song was based on a mythical kingdom called Faraway. Oddly enough a mythical kingdom called Farway appeared in all their later films for Shrek. Oh, well. Another song in my musical, now called Euphoria, was "Let it Go" which I understand is the title of the hit song from Disney's newest film Frozen. I'm glad I'm not paranoid.
