Elsa's Winter Outfit ❄️ by (@teddyth88)
I'm a huge fan of Elsa's Potrait in this Particular Dress ❄️
For deaf awareness month Disney reanimated three of their songs in sign language (I'm pretty sure it's American sign language) and they did The Next Right Thing as one of them
It is not AI I promise! It releases on Disney Plus on the 27th
Am I the only one who cried at the end of Frozen 2 ?
I don't think I'm the only one, but it's been bothering me. There are just too many emotions at the end: joy (including the realization that Frozen isn't over), the end of a wonderful film, and the end of a wonderful story. It's too much for my sensitive little heart...
Y’know, I’m not sure if anyone in Arendelle would want a giant Olaf.
Anna does seem to like having him to lean on though!
Watched Frozen as a little girl, teen, and as a young adult
I was just a little girl when I watched the Disney movie Frozen for the first time, I can't even explain how magical it felt watching the movie back then as a child who is not as appreciative as I am now, at my age I already know that the movie screams quality. When I became a teen my little cousin whom I used to babysit a lot turned the movie into a brain rot for me since she would demand it all the time that we watch the movie repetitively, when I say a lot I mean A LOT. But I can't believe that despite that trauma jk, when I watched the movie randomly after a long time again today as a young adult, just to see if I could perfectly predict all the lines effortlessly, I kept internally screaming since the movie was still so good and if not much much more now as I view it, I just needed to take a break from it for a while, ooh the many many puzzle pieces that connect, I might just be over dramatic cuz I'm a sucker for quality and detail, but for a film that still hits and stands to the test of time??
Someone said that the way the true love's kiss did not work out this time and the 'marrying a man you just met' is Disney's humor towards the other disney princesses is a funny point but also it makes sense cuz Anna really doesn't know anything about love, I mean from a young age her sister shut her out and both her parents died, I love how Anna remained as sweet growing up tho, and let's not forget about the timeless valuable lesson taught hello??
The humor still hits, and yes I effortlessly predicted most of the lines since it's so iconic, I especially luv Kristoff and Anna's bickering.
Voice acting is chef's kiss, Elsa's cry when Anna froze gave off 'this was the thing I have been avoiding all my life but it still happened to Anna.'
People were sadly comparing Kristoff to Flynn saying Kristoff is way basic compared to Flynn, but I highly disagree, he is so sweet and both guys are great, I'll leave you guys to rewatch the movie to remember. That's all for now!
Ahtohallan really changed Elsa ❄️
So you guys might know Elsa very well from all the movies and shorts you have seen so far.
But in the end of the movie when she came back after saving Arendelle & being unfrozen herself i really feel like Elsa has changed, not just by looks but also her personality. I won't say it's a bad thing but it's definitely noticeable.
Like she talked and acted a bit differently than what we have seen so far of her in all the movies and shorts. At the end of the movie Elsa seemed lighter and free because she found out her Purpose and even more she got rid of her Queenly duties.
i don't think Elsa deep down wanted to be a Queen, she must have did that out of Obligation and her Responsibility as the Natural Heir to the Throne.
Now that we have a Free and Purpose Driven Elsa ahead I wonder how different she will be as opposed to what we saw so far. I hope we get to see her real & natural personality and self come up in the upcoming sequels.
What do y'all think about it? ❄️
Is Olaf too adult like for his age? How the earth giants scene is a great example of this.
I'm going to rewrite the earth giants scene for this as an example script.
So you know how Olaf hides from the giants? He must of hid near both Elsa and Anna in what we see. To give Elsa and Olaf more together time in terms I would of rewritten the scene as : as the giants near, Olaf instead of being brave should've went and hid with Elsa or one of the sisters scared. Like any little kid his age would do in such scenario. Its kind of like how they changed Elsa from panicked to quite chill for a tense scene.
If Olaf would of hid with Elsa it would of been interesting how she would put up with a scared snowman and huge giants made of rock ready to destroy anything. I really feel like it would've been really interesting to see and probably would've ended cute.
Like if I were a kid here in the earth giants scene, there's absolutely no way I would hide by myself. I would literally hide with Elsa or Anna, even at my age now I still would hide with one of them.
Same thing with Anna, it be interesting how she puts up with a scared snowman and huge giants made of rock ready to destroy anything. Also would be cute to see. I feel like Olaf was portrayed as too adult like for his age in this scene for whatever reason ( you all might agree here) anyway te majority of Frozen 2 Olaf is otherwise acting like a normal kid his age with too much knowledge and facts.
Feel free to post your thoughts if Loaf is too adult ish for his age .
Frozen novels
Has there been news about new frozen novels coming out?
And if they are the writers that did forest of shadows and polar night
Those books are really good and great
I hope they release new novels before the release of the third film very soon
This detail makes the story way darker than you thought
Potentially Controversial Take: I think the writers made the right call in not having Arendelle's castle be destroyed at the end of Frozen II.
Now why would I say this? Well, for a few reasons actually.
The first reason, and yes I am aware this does admittedly sound a bit cynical to say, is that i don't think destroying it works from a Marketing standpoint. The Arendelle castle is iconic imagery for the series, and I feel whatever castle that wouldve replaced it, would never be as iconic as that castle is. Removing it from the equation would just be a waste, and yes, I know Frozen II was supposed to be the final installment but even so, its still no excuse to justify destroying an iconic location in the Frozen series.
The second reason is that I feel like it would against the films themes of Cultural Erasure. Its clear Arendelld has a history of being a Viking Settlement. I.E. a people and culture that also had to deal with Colonization and Assimilation when Christianity was introduced to them. Now it is debated whether or not it was forced onto them or if they willingly accepted said practices and beliefs, but the point is is that Norse Paganism was demonized and nearly erased, just as Sami peoples culture and way of life (who the Northuldra are Supposed to be based on, key word being supposed to btw).
So i feel having the castle, that more then likely started off as a Viking place of worship (if the real life structure its based off is anything to go by) and has information containing Viking history and there beliefs, assuming it wasn't destroyed, would effectively be erased by the waves (no pun intended).
Also, before anyone even says "Runeard was the founder and first king! The Books say so", Jennifer Lee has already stated that she omly considers the movies and shorts canon, and on top of that, the fact that the concept art for F3 implies Norse Mythology is involved, tells me that they will likely abandon that idea in favor of Arendelle starting as a Viking settlement. As for the Junior Novelization of F2 that also mentions Runeard being the first king...well I mean, Novelizations aren't always accurate to what happens in the films. For example, the Novelization for the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man film features references to other Marvel Heroes that Sony didn't even own the rights too.
The third reason is that if the idea is to bring balance between Nature and Humanity, then I feel destroying the castle, and by extension the rest of Arendelle, i feel would make things even worse. Because you'd have to get the materials to rebuild everything, which will likely cause alot of environmental damage (I.E. cutting down trees for wooden homes and mining for rock and stone to rebuild the castle, which will more then likely cause soil erosion) and the people would likely be left without homes for a extended amount of time. Which would not be very stable. Finally, i think if the castle was destroyed, it would send across the wrong message that the past should be ignored and erased. We need to learn from the past, and simply destroying it runs the risks of repeating the same mistakes.
Especially since not everything about the past is a lie, not every historical figure was evil. Yes, History being darker then expected is a sad reality most of the time, but not always. Runeard was an evil person (unless the third film tries retconning that or tries giving him a empathetic/sympathetic backstory, though honestly i kinda hope not, because that be really stupid), but just because he was bad, doesn't mean everyone who came before him was. Destroying Arendelle's castle feels like some Kylo Ren from The Last Jedi levels of logic of letting the past die. Even though thats not the answer, learning from the past is.
So in short, this is why I think the writers made the right call in not letting Arendelle castle be destroyed at the end of F2.
What do these 4 girls have in common?
Besides the obvious, what do all four of these girls have in common?
Flair Elsa
What is the original code for elsa flair?
I customized it 😭
Prince Hans, King Runeard, and the villain songs we never got
I think the President of Music telling the team of "Frozen" that it was standard practice for them not to have songs after the second act was ridiculous--especially since every Disney film afterwards contradicted this practice. Also weird to me that Elsa had a villain song that they never included on the soundtrack, but they didn't wanna make a Hans villain song. I also think it may have been to a mentality of "we can't have a serious moment AND a song," since Kristen Anderson-Lopez said she considered a reprise of DYWBAS, but then thought it'd be jarring in the moment. In any case, I think Hans deserved one rather than the film feeling self-congratulatory about having a major twist and the first Disney fairy tale with a twist villain.
While I don't think Hans needed to be a villain to get the story across (his role could've easily been taken by the duke, who was already a pretty straightforward villain), I do think he deserved a villain song. The Broadway adaptation kinda did a half-dash job for me, with the 2nd reprise of "Hans of the Southern Isles." Not only is it short, but it almost feels unnecessary. It isn't long or expansive into his character, and it almost validates it being a dialogue like it was in the film--and I DESPISE having to admit that. Late as it was in the story since he was a twist villain, I think he could've had his own song or at least a reprise of "Love is an Open Door" (easy to take advantage of) that expanded on his dysfunctional family, AKA a cautionary tale for what Anna and Elsa could become. Again, it has more impact if we saw it more and Hans was more present and the audience saw his real side, but I'll take what I can get.
"Frozen 2" largely doesn't have a villain. While King Runeard started this issue due to his fear of magic (I admire the consistency of this in both films that the more "civilized" people are scared of it in contrast to those who live outside of the urban culture), he's already dead and largely a plot device more than a plot device. I saw a review of the film, and someone said it was probably done that way so you wouldn't feel attached to a biological family member of the heroes being evil, but we're here now. While Pocahontas is a controversial film, I do think the song between the colonists and the natives would've been good inspiration for the rising tension and explosion between the Northuldra and the people of Arendelle. Or just give Runeard a solo to explain his motivations and why he/his culture fears magic. It was kinda like a post-colonization PSA without really getting anyone's hands dirty by making the bad guy someone dead and Arendelle not being destroyed. I constantly regret this film kinda having to do some retroactive lore-filling with stuff that would've been a factor/brought up in the first movie, but that's how it works when a sequel is made for financial reasons over creative ones, and then the creative team is screwed over. Honestly I think the film still needed more retuning, possibly an overhaul, but with what we got, I wish we got a villain song for Runeard. I'd take it over Olaf's song.
I swear, we better get a real villain and a villain song in the third film. I'm not saying they gotta be over-the-top mwahahaha (I do like complex, deep villains, not flat ones like older films), but perhaps a supernatural threat, an Eris-like villain from "Sinbad"?
