I HATED it. I feel like I saw a different movie than everyone else because they keep raving about it. This is what I saw:
The first half hour is nothing but pointless singing. Also, it continues a frequent Disney theme that nothing cool can happen unless one or both of your parents are dead. Why did Anna need to get her memory wiped? I think getting ice magic to the head is a good enough lesson that they need to be careful because of Elsa's powers.
That zap must have also made Anna mentally challenged because there is no difference between her kid and adult self. She's basically the human form of Pinkie Pie with how she acts except much less intelligent and even more annoying.
"We even finish each others-"
"Sandwiches!"
Are freaking kidding me? That's not funny.
What the hell is the big deal about the song Let it Go? It sounded exactly like every other song in the movie. Bland and boring.
Despite the fact the "prince charming" ended up being a dick Disney still continues to show that a woman can't do anything without a man's help. Even the freaking reindeer was male. She's still a helpless damsel in distress. Who cares if it went a little teeny bit against what we usually see in Disney films? The end result is the same and Anna still got her a man who she showed zero chemistry with. He showed more interest in banging his reindeer.
I didn't get emotional at all when Anna got frozen. It was the only point where the bitch was tolerable. Credits should have rolled right there. Nowhere near as sad as when Eugene gets stabbed and says "You were my new dream." as he dies.
True love is the solution to controlling Elsa's powers? So you're telling me she didn't love her parents or Anna before? What?
It was like a bad rehash of Tangled in certain parts. Anna and Rapunzel both are "trapped" in a sense. Both have something funky with their hair. Both can be clumsy. A reindeer and a horse sidekick are pretty similar.
I also felt like Disney took a massive step backwards in animating characters. None of the ones in Frozen had such detailed and range of expression as the ones in Tangled did. They also keep using the exact same character design for women over and over again, just changing the eye color and hair. Disney 3D animation is just UGLY.
So yeah... Let's just say Frozen makes me a little upset.
......okay, slowly walking away before I incur more of yourOH GOD PLEASE DON'T HURT ME, NOOOOOOO!!!!
Actually I agree with your points. I'm just one of those people that is really easy to please and amuse. I'm probably one of those people Disney and other animation studios making movies see and go "Well there is an easy mark." I'm like a magpie with pretty colors instead of shiny things. Except with Shrek, that after awhile got really old really quickly cause nothing really changed much from film to film. Either that or Eddie Murphy as Donkey just annoys the crap out of me.
I think the only time they (ie. Disney) did it right with the whole princess not needing a man to help her was Brave. There she went up against her dad, tradition of arranged marriages, and took on a psycho bear (granted her mom ended up killing it, but a good example of female characters taking care of their shit).
