Kristoff clearly underestimated the power of the vaunted "true love" and did not listen to what logic previously told him. Anna and Kristoff then fall in love with each other in a day as well, two days at most. Unfortunately, Frozen doesn't follow through on what would otherwise be a memorable change of pace. Anna falls in love with Prince Hans of the Southern Isles during the course of a single evening, and she is properly made fun of by Kristoff later on. (It's that alien concept of "true love.") This happens all too frequently in cartoon fantasies.
The movie even makes fun of the fact that prior Disney princess movies had the princess falling in love with the prince in a single day. Via:, įrozen was different from other Disney princess movies in that some prince did not stroll along and save the princess. You tell me that Elsa's ice powers can transform her drab, royal garb into a slinky new outfit with a simple gesture? Yeah, I'm going to have to pause and question that. You tell me that Elsa was born with magical ice powers? I can get behind that. Despite being super, they should have understandable limits. That's the thing with super powers in movies. It does not fold and cling to a woman's body the way Elsa's infamous dress did. And don't try to tell me that Elsa's shimmering dress is made of ice. (You know the one I'm talking about.) It looks great and all, but.where did it come from?ĭo Elsa's ice powers extend to creating fabric out of thin air? I don't think so.
As she belts out those high notes, Elsa ditches her old queenly trappings and dons a brand new, ice-blue dress. Who wouldn't like that kind of soulful message? But while you were all caught up admiring Elsa's moment in the sun/snow, you may have missed a pretty questionable moment in the movie. It was a song about accepting yourself and rejecting the troubles of the past. When Frozen first came out, you couldn't walk five feet without hearing it playing from some hidden speaker somewhere. "Let It Go" was such a moving song to the average moviegoer. When Elsa and Anna got into that fight and Elsa told Anna she could just leave if she was so unhappy, a large part of me felt like slapping my forehead and saying, "Duh!" It makes no sense to keep Anna away from society when she's a normal girl. One child messed up by mandatory solitary confinement should have been enough. (Unless her innate clumsiness got someone into trouble.)Ĭouldn't she have gone out of the castle by herself to hang out with other kids if she wanted to? Her parents weren't confining her too, were they? I mean, regardless of what I think of their parenting decisions when it comes to Elsa's isolation, I understand their reasoning. But Anna is a completely ordinary human being. But did Anna really have to be lonely? Elsa was instructed to isolate herself from the world just in case she accidentally hurt someone. That's the whole point of the song called "Do You Want To Build a Snowman?" Anna's sliding around empty halls all by herself, bemoaning her lack of company. So rises the dark age between the two of them. Elsa is terrified about harming Anna with her powers, so she stops hanging out with her, leaving Anna to wallow in her newfound loneliness. The major problem that plagues sisters Elsa and Anna is the rift that opens between them. Read on if you want to laugh along with me over the things that make absolutely no sense in one of our favorite Disney movies. In that regard, Frozen is just like every other movie out there. However, just because a movie is utterly fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable, doesn't mean it's without it flaws. Seriously, just because I sound like a cat wailing in an alley when I try to sing "Let It Go," doesn't mean I won't try. I know I'm no longer a young whippersnapper, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good animated Disney movie. I can honestly say, hand to heart, that I love all of those movies. Big Hero Six, Zootopia, and Moana have all been wildly successful films. (My sister and I are renowned for our closeness we're like the female non-twin version of the Weasley twins.) Despite our incredulity, both my sister and I were impressed when we came out of the theater.Īrguably, Frozen is one of the better Disney movies to come out in recent years, but then again, Disney has been releasing success after success lately. My sister and I shared a look when we heard that, and decided to check out this sisterly phenomena of a movie. We had not rushed to see it when it first came out, so we were latecomers to the Frozen train, but everyone had told us about how it was a great story about the closeness of sisters. My sister and I went to go see Frozen together when it came out in theaters.
