I finally got around to seeing this movie at the second-run movie theater (only $1.75/ticket) and it was pretty good. I applaud the plot twists in not falling into the "destined lovers" trope, but the pacing seemed oddly choppy or rushed compared to other Disney movies. There didn't seem to be a lot of quieter, bonding moments between Elsa and Anna that you usually see with Disney cartoons except for the one scene when they were children, which seemed to be the only cherished memory between them. Otherwise every scene afterward, was constantly dramatic (maybe even melodramatic) between them.
At least with some of the other Disney movies (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and even Tangled) there seemed to be a much more palpable, and deeper relationship building between the main characters. With Frozen, it frequently came across as "she's my sister, so I just have to save her!" logic came in, rather than some concrete emotional bonding. Speaking of Kristoff being knowledgeable in relationships ![]() ![]() If the movie could have added on just 2-3 minutes talking about the loss of the parents more and their emotional isolation, it would have solidified their bond more. I know it's just a Disney movie, but the movie did "go there" after Anna was singing that song to Elsa through the door. I don't know ![]() For me, it's a decent movie and memorable in terms of plot twists, but I'll probably forget about the main characters and their whole sibling/sisterhood bond (which was underdeveloped) after a few other animated Disney movies arrive. As for some saying the movie is overhyped, I can see it from that perspective. I think a lot of the hype is from this movie ditching Disney's formulaic "destined lovers" trope so abruptly (Hans being nice until the very part when the plot calls for him to be evil), harshly (with Kristoff's and Olaf's advice with Anna about Hans), and unexpectedly (by having a handsome prince be the villain since most-to-all Disney villains were all ugly looking). A type of shock amongst audiences and critics alike, reacting, "No way! ![]() Quote:
Movies like Marvel's The Avengers, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows - Part 2, Iron Man 3, Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King may be all within the Top 10 of highest grossing films, but after their inflation adjustment, none of them reach the Top 10 afterward.

Frozen’ Characters to Return in ‘Frozen Fever’ Animated Short
It’s not exactly the “Frozen” sequel, but the characters from the hit animated film will return in “Frozen Fever,” a new short set to debut in spring 2015. In the short, it’s Anna’s birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but Elsa’s icy powers may put more than just the party at risk. Olaf, the snowman, also will make an appearance in the toon. “Frozen Fever” was revealed during the ABC Television Network special “The Story of Frozen: Making an Animated Classic,” which aired Sept. 2. Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck will return to direct the short, produced by Peter Del Vecho. It also will include a new original song by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. “Frozen” has generated nearly $1.3 billion for Disney at the worldwide box office. http://variety.com/2014/film/news/di...rt-1201296499/ |

I heard about the holiday short on ABC. I wonder if it will be a 30 minute or hour long special.

I've never understood the appeal of this movie. Is it THAT good?

I watched Frozen and it was pretty good. I have to say I didn't see the villain twist coming at all, since there was no hint toward it, I was expecting a messy ship triangle instead and I'm glad they didn't go that route.
What surprised me even more is how Anna is more of a main character than Elsa. I had thought Elsa was the main character in the film, but the true star was Anna and Elsa was more of a plot catalyst than anything. Weird how Disney mostly promotes Elsa on all the promotional material over her sister when she had a lesser role in the movie. |

I wouldn't call Anna the typical girl next door but compare her super powered sister she would be considered "normal". Though I hope the rumors are true that Anna will get powers in the sequel and hopefully something different then ice powers like fire, plant, air, etc.

Yesterday, the new Frozen meet-and-greet attraction, 'Royal Sommerhus' with Anna and Elsa had a soft opening at Walt Disney World's Epcot.
A website Inside the Magic also has plenty of pictures of the attraction in the article at the bottom, including this one. ![]() http://www.insidethemagic.net/2016/0...pens-at-epcot/ |
