"LET IT GO" OSCAR(R)-WINNING TEAM KRISTEN ANDERSON-LOPEZ AND ROBERT LOPEZ WRITE ORIGINAL MUSICAL NUMBER FOR OSCAR HOST NEIL PATRICK HARRIS

Oscar host Neil Patrick Harris and show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron shared that the Oscar-winning songwriting team from "Frozen," Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, are in the midst of writing an original multimedia, musical sequence, "Moving Pictures," which Harris will perform on Oscar Sunday, February 22, on ABC. Harris made the initial announcement on his Twitter account, posting the network's first tweet using its new mobile video camera feature.

"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," said Zadan and Meron. "YouTube get ready!"

"We love the Oscars(R) 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," said the Lopezes. "We are having so much fun collaborating, and have even enjoyed weaving our experience as Oscar nominees into the song."

Lopez is an Oscar, Tony(R), Emmy(R), Grammy(R) winning songwriter and co-creator of the worldwide smash-hit Broadway musicals "Avenue Q" and "The Book of Mormon." Anderson-Lopez is an Oscar-winning songwriter for film and television, who along with her husband, co-wrote songs for "Frozen" and "Winnie the Pooh." The pair won an Oscar for original song for "Let It Go" from the 2013 Oscar-winning animated film "Frozen," and are currently working on music for the upcoming stage musical "Up Here."

The 87th Oscars will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2015, at the Dolby Theatre(R) at Hollywood & Highland Center(R) in Hollywood, and will be televised live on the ABC Television Network at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. The Oscars, produced by Zadan and Meron, also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.
