- honestly, I know it's been done to death that they look the same as rapunzel, but it's a problem within the movie too. elsa, anna, and her mother (especially elsa and her mother) look nearly identical - if you compare elsa and her mother, the only real difference is her mother's eyes are slightly baggy and she has black hair. meanwhile, the men look completely different, with totally different body types and faces. I get that they're related so it makes sense that they look similar, but really?

I watched this movie today! things I thought watching it:
(spoilers)


- probably my favorite part was the songs, which were all great (except olaf's one, which was just ok). let it go was really just fabulous.

- I feel like the plot was just really rushed, especially the beginning. it would have been really nice to see more interaction between the characters and things that aren't plot points.

- the part where hans turns bad is really, really stilted and just really clichéd. it just feels awkward to me… also, hans is an amazing actor.

- how did elsa get all the way to the north mountain, by herself, when she had been stuck in her room for 5+ years? obviously it's far, because her sister needed the help of kristoff and his reindeer/dog (reindog?), and even he couldn't find her even though she was in a giant castle on an cliff in the frozen wastelands and he lived in the mountains for most of his life.

- did the trolls steal kristoff from his parents? where did he sleep before they took him in? he was obviously really young, and not exactly starving - someone must have cared for him before the trolls.

- also, what does elsa eat in her castle? what do any of them eat? there are clearly no people anywhere near the mountain, and they have to have traveled for a least a day.

- anna goes out in a blizzard with a sleeveless dress on and trudges through snow that left kristoff caked with snow, but there is not a single speck of snow anywhere on her and her hair is absolutely perfect. the coldest she even gets is kind of just jumping around. what kind of steel-plated heart does this girl have??

- more on anna's invincibility: she has some kind of infinite capacity for love or something. her sister totally abandons her for possibly over 10 years and her parents are dead for three of them, but she's still willing to give her life up for her? how is this even possible? not to mention the fact that she spent these years totally alone - the castle gates were closed, which apparently means anna couldn't ever meet anyone else ever. she wandered the empty halls for three years, talking to the portraits (I guess she's a huge elitist and can't make friends with servants or something), and the only effect is has on her is that she's slightly awkward in a sweet and charming way. this is incredible and kind of terrifying.

- how do they know the winter is eternal? how much time passes between the time she runs away and anna goes to find her? days? weeks? months?? is this just hyperbole on anna's part?

- honestly, I know it's been done to death that they look the same as rapunzel, but it's a problem within the movie too. elsa, anna, and her mother (especially elsa and her mother) look nearly identical - if you compare elsa and her mother, the only real difference is her mother's eyes are slightly baggy and she has black hair. meanwhile, the men look completely different, with totally different body types and faces. I get that they're related so it makes sense that they look similar, but really?

overall, it was worth watching, but I didn't love it. the plotholes are just me nitpicking but it really did feel rushed to me, and the characters could have been a lot more fleshed out (especially elsa, who could have been really interesting if more time had been spent on her). I'd say this would be a 7.5/10 movie.

I think it's meant to be in the same style as Tangled.
In fact, Rapunzel shows up in the background as an easter egg.

Also, thanks for acknowledging Hans. He really doesn't get the love he deserves. Not to mention his abusive childhood backstory. There's a reason he went insane, but they skip over it and just make him evil. I think it would've been interesting if he actually had been in love with Anna, and the whole Elsa situation just brought back traumatic memories and put ideas in his head. THAT would've been interesting. But just making him evil? Pfft.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I loved Frozen because all the songs are catchy and it's not your traditional Disney plot. Usually, in Disney movies the plot is always; Princess has a great life; something disastrous happens; she is forced into something bad, villain comes, villain does something to princess, true love's kiss saves princess.

Frozen is pretty much the only exception in the Disney Princess series. Elsa (Idina Menzel) is has to be one of the best disney princesses.

SPOILERS DON'T READ THIS PARAGRAPH UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE: Also, A boy didn't save Ana, and a villain didn't hurt her. Ana saved Elsa with an act of true love - giving up her life for her sister's - saving herself. Combined with Elsa's tears, it saved her. Sisters before Misters

Better than any other Disney princess movie ever.

As someone who hasn't seen the movie yet, could someone give me a basic idea of the story? (No spoilers please!) All I know from the trailer is there's a snowman and a moose.

Elsa, princess of Arendelle, possesses the ability to create ice and snow. One morning, while playing, she accidentally injures her younger sister Anna. The king and queen seek help from trolls, who heal Anna and remove her memories of her sister's magic. In order to protect Elsa and keep her powers a secret, the royal family locks themselves away in their castle. Elsa, afraid of hurting Anna again, spends most of her time hiding in her room, creating a rift between the two sisters through their adolescence, which is further strained after their parents die at sea during a storm.
