I am watching this for the 4th time in 2 weeks. Kill meeeeeeee. (I like the movie, just not this much.)
[Movies] Dammit, Frozen (spoilers)
- Thread starter Hailey Knight
- Start date
Having Frozen in the house reminded me that I wanted to go back and update the Disney mermaids drawing on my Deviant Art page. It was one of those pieces I wanted to redo some of the old faces, and then figured since I was at it, I might as well stick in 7 more ladies that have been added to the Disney pantheon since I originally posted it.
It's also a sad reminder that I'm lucky if I get 2 hours a night to draw anymore. Simple stuff can get done over a matter of days, but ambitious stuff is going to have to be on hold for a while longer.

Spoilered for size.
Dude, have you ever been to a musical?

I feel your pain.
I've seen plenty of Disney movies, if that's what you mean.
If you mean like a Broadway musical, only Sweeney Todd.
Looks like "Let It Go" is stuck in a lot of people's heads now and forever:
"Frozen" becomes highest-grossing animated film of all time

You need to relax, Zero. Let it go.

You know, I think that might have been the first gif I ever posted back on the oooooooold PvP forums.
Because some people have asked, no, that is not me in that gif. It does look a lot like me, though.I liked it.
I actually showed that gif to my mom, and she thought it was me...
I have a terrible mom.
Or the message is that even with access to true love from a guy, true love from a sister is just as good, maybe?
Otherwise, yeah, pacing issues with the plot.
It's not true love between her and Kristof. That was the point of his existence. They just met. There's an attraction, but they just met. That's why it was the bond between sisters that was true love, and broke the curse.
Yes, Anna and Kristof are together at the end, but they aren't engaged or anything. They're dating, a normal relationship, instead of the the day romances into marriage that Disney had been known for.
I made the ringtone when my wife calls "I mean it's crazy, what, we finish each others, sandehiches" part of the song and my normal ring tones do you wanna build a snowman

Perhaps? I don't know; I'm not going to put any more time towards Frozen except for reposting funny shit from the fans.
Like this coloring/activity book page:
Usually I don't like when they end with
but this is one that worked.
mashing two unrelated properties together
but this is one that worked.
I finally watched Frozen for the first time on the flight from Taiwan to London.
Then I watched it a second time. Then a third.
Then I watched it a fourth time on the way back.
Guys, I think I might like this movie.
Anyway, some thoughts:
1. I agree with a lot of the criticisms posted in this thread, actually. I think Frozen had some plot problems that could've been fixed with just a few additional lines and scenes. It would've added maybe five or ten minutes to the movie in total, which I don't think is a huge amount, and would've made everything fit together much better.
2. Jonathan Groff's horribly wasted in this movie. He gets one song, during which half his lines are done in a goofy voice. This guy was awesome on Glee and in Spring Awakening, it's a pity they didn't use him more.
3. Idina Menzel needs to do more emotion-filled duets. Seriously, her duets from Rent, Wicked, Glee, and Frozen all gave me tinglies in my nether bits.

I think a lot of the plot problems were probably caused by something I discovered only recently, but apparently other people have known for months: originally, Elsa was going to be the villain after all. Producers ordered a story change upon hearing "Let It Go" and decided the song was too positive for a villain. I won't get into everything wrong-headed about changing a story for a song's sake or whether antagonists should be allowed to have layers and dimensions in children's movies, but the fact of this change tells me that they had to do a lot of editing and messing around, creating narratives bumps and stutters that wouldn't have existed if they'd spent that time tidying their original idea instead of having to flex it into a new one.
Anna is the one who knocks.
Someone doesn't believe in love at first hike to find missing ice powered sister here....
But anyway, that works too, he's there to emphasise the point about sisterly love (as in Anna had the possibility of the "classic Disney romance" etc.).
