Can I say something even crazier? :D

I saw Frozen in theaters on Thanksgiving, and while it had flaws, I have already heavily recommended it to a few people.

( I think I might have said this before? Dashed hopes. )

I read Snow Queen before this, it's a very different story, and I expected it to be having seen the trailers (so it's not even as close as Little Mermaid was), and I was surprised they even had Anna have ice in her heart like Kai had with the mirror shard. I think it would've made a good Disney movie, it might've been tough to do the whole "By the time they came back, they were adults" thing because it's more a surprise when you're reading it. I'm still hoping for a Disney adaptation of Cupid and Psyche, which gave me a similar vibe. As for the Bechdel test, at least we still have Brave ( ... )

I don't think the original story could have been adapted exactly, but I agree that it could have been a good Disney movie. I didn't really walk in with any expectations, though, because I mostly avoided a lot of the ads and press. I came out of the theater really pleased! (Oh man, have I not spoken to you about Brave yet? We need to have that conversation later ( ... )

Well Disney doesn't adapt stuff exactly anyway, they put their own twists on it and Snow Queen could've had a lot from the source material and been a Disney classic. I'm not complaining with what we got, though. I avoided a lot of ads and press too (although I did want to know the voice cast, so I looked that up), and no, I don't think we had an in-depth Brave discussion ( ... )

1 - It's on youtube! Victory!

2 - That is AWESOME. I hope this trend of "non-romantic love" continues in other places. I'll put the show on the list, although other things (catching up with Arrow) are going to have to take priority for a while. Honestly, the biggest reason I wasn't watching it is because I was so ticked they weren't just adapting Fables. >.>

3 - Rapunzel and Eugene are in the crowd before Elsa's coronation! Which basically reinforces the fan idea that Tangled and Frozen take place in the same universe.

My roommate pointed out last night that it was probably more Elsa's parents that were to blame in terms of her mentally unhealthy childhood. Which is a good point. But it's obvious that the movie doesn't want us to see them as the bad guys, even though they handled that situation badly.

I mentally urge child protagonists to go talk to adults while reading all the time, now that I'm oooold. Harry Potter, you are eleven years old DO NOT GO INTO THE THIRD FLOOR CORRIDOR GO CALL MCGONAGALL.
