Oscar-winning songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez behind 'Let It Go' from hit animated film 'Frozen', have revealed that the word "God" is banned from Disney movies.

The duo said that Disney was not a sanitised corporate environment, reported The Guardian.

"One of the only places you have to draw the line at Disney is with religious things, the word God. You can say it in Disney but you can't put it in the movie," they said.

The revelation is likely to draw the ire of conservative Christian commentators who have already targeted 'Frozen' for its supposed pro-gay propaganda.

In March, Pastor Kevin Swanson of the Reformation Church, denounced the film as "very evil", and that Disney was "one of the most pro-homosexual organisations in the country".
 

Lopez and Anderson-Lopez, who are married, also explained that they first had the idea for the song 'Let It Go' while walking through Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and were so enthusiastic about it that they stood on the park picnic tables to improvise.

According to Lopez it took just a day and a half to finish writing.
