Vuelie is the opening musical number, for the 2013 Disney animated feature Frozen. The song is inspired by indigenous Saami and Norwegian culture, and was written and composed by Norwegian composer Frode Fjellheim. The song is a combination of Saami yoiking and the Danish Christmas hymn "Dejlig er jorden"/"Fairest Lord Jesus", composed by Frode Fjellheim. The original hymn is composed by the Danish composer B.S. Ingemann.
Plot
During the opening credits of the film, beginning with the iconic Walt Disney Pictures castle logo, the song is played in the background, transitioning into the film with an array of snowflakes blissfully covering the screen, soon revealing the icy Frozen title card.
At the end of the film, during "The Great Thaw", a reprise of the song is featured as Elsa lifts the curse put across Arendelle.
