The first feature film to be released by the studio, it was directed by Gary Trousdale and written by Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio and Karey Kirkpatrick, and it stars the voices of Nick Carter and Britney Spears. The score of the film's original songs was composed by Henry Jackman and its lyrics were co-written by Jackman along with lyricist Tim Rice. The film centers around two teenagers named Andy Fowler and Melody Kitt, who love music and wish to find a place where people will appreciate their music. One day, the two discover a mysterious world where everyone loves music and that they celebrate an annual event that they like to call "MusicMania." However, one of the citizens, who prefers classical music and hates all other forms of music, wants classical music to be only music played at MusicMunia, so Andy and Melody have to stop him before MusicMania is ruined.

The film was released into theatres on July 19, 2002. It received wide spread critical acclaim from critics, who praised the animation, characters, plot, and music, and it earned $348.2 million worldwide on its $72 million budget. The success of the film managed to spawn a television series of the same name that aired on Kids' WB from 2003 to 2005, as well as video games, merchandise, and other media. A sequel was planned but has since been in development hell and has yet to start production as of 2023.
