Disney's Frozen
2014-03-10 20:30I've never been a big Disney movie person, though I've started to wonder if I've missed something. But i went to see "Frozen" Friday, and wow! Really good. Also not primarily about a comical snowman, despite the misdirection of some trailers or ads,t apparently. It's pretty musical -- I thought that was normal for Disney, thus my wonder if I've missed something, but I've seen people call this one in particular "a musical". I'm a bit sorry now I missed the sing-along version, that could have been fun.
I wouldn't call it perfect; it's got all the detailed worldbuilding of a Disney princess movie, and the plot setup is rather accelerated, staccato even. OTOH, some of the weaknesses some people perceive are actually subtly (or not) addressed in the movie.
If you're willing to trust me, I'd say go out and see it soon (hurry! it's been out since November, can't be around too much longer, can it?) and read the rest of this later. If you're not, or you have seen it, well, spoilers ahead:
"Riding across the fjords like a valiant, pungent reindeer king!"
( Read more... )
Unrelated: Disney princesses as Doctors Who. Mostly lost on me really, but Rapunzel as the Fourth Doctor is worth it alone.
