The 'Frozen 2' trailer is officially here!

Minnie Mouse presents some Disney classics like you've never heard them before.

As well as countless stunning movies, shorts and TV specials, Disney has always made magnificent music.

A total of 14 of the company's songs have won an Oscar, and they've featured massive artists like Phil Collins, Idina Menzel, Michael Bolton and Elton John.

• Disney's The Lion King almost had an ABBA soundtrack
• The 30 greatest Disney songs of all time, ranked
• Elton John says Disney’s Lion King remake was a 'huge disappointment'

But a new album from Walt Disney Records features some of its movie songs with a chillout twist.

Lofi Minnie: Focus is made up of ten Disney classics "reimagined as never before with a chill new vibe"

Songs like 'Hakuna Matata' from The Lion King and 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin have been reworked by different artists in the hip-hop, house and jazz-inspired lofi style.

Lofi music is usually instrumental, set at a tempo of 70-90 beats per minute to match the human heart.

It's said to be great for chilling out or helping you focus on what you're doing, hence: Lofi Minnie: Focus.

Lofi artists involved in the project include Purrple Cat, eevee and Jazzinuf, among others. The album is available to stream now.
