Disney's Frozen Discussion Thread

[Optimus Prime]

I searched and couldn't find one about it, so here it is.

Frozen is said to be the best Disney film released since Beauty and The Beast. My wife and I went to see it yesterday afternoon, and IMHO, it's better than that older Disney flick. Don't get me wrong, I loved BATB but I just liked this one better.

You knew this was coming.

I love animated movies in CGI, unlike most people seem to these days... .but this is one of the few, like the Croods, that I have no real interest in seeing. The trailer just wasn't that interesting to me.

I'll watch itwhen it comes on video(There's no theater in town and I DON'T have a reliable ride to an out of town one) However I have a feeling the little snowman will annoy people.

Saying alot since Aladdin, Lion King, Lilo and Stitch and even Wreck-it Ralph came out since then. I can for sure see skipping the last one in that list. I want to see this one.

I think it was a good movie and quality wise fits the later 90s Disney movies. But it also just came out last year, but if Frozen is good and followed Wreck-it Ralph we might be on an upswing of Disney movies.

I agree. Judging by some of the previews I have seen, he is going to come off as trying to be too funny and just end up being annoying. Me and the misses may go see it, and she will probably cry (as she does with most Disney movies).

Based on the soundtrack alone, I don't see how it could best "Beauty and the Beast". There was only one stand out number for me ("Let It Go"). I do plan on heading out to see it at some point though!

[Optimus Prime]

I think most people will be pleasantly surprised when it comes to Olaf, the Snowman. He's not in it as much as the trailers seem to show and when he is there, it's done well.

Completely agree. When he showed up on screen he definitely breathed some life into this movie. I liked it ok but not more than Beauty and the Beast or even Tangled. It's hard to explain but it was more like watching a broadway musical. Olaf and the reindeer were the best parts of the movie for me.

[Bear-at-Arms]

Olaf the snowman was great. I had reservations about him myself. He in no way was there to steal the show and came off a lot like a Lumier or Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast. I thoughly enjoyed Frozen. If I had one gripe it would be that Computer animated movies seem to lack character emotion. Characters actions can often seem quit robotic.

[Heeeere's Olesker!]

Funny, but one's perspective is different when one is a parent. Now my fourteen-year old Alex has zero interest in this. But my 11 year old Zoe and 5 year old Max are sooooo excited.

At my age I enjoy the simple pleasure of seeing life through the eyes of my young children. To glance sidelong at them in them in the theater and see the smiles of wonderment on their faces is one of the blessings of the season. Thus, Frozen is on my list.

I took five year old and we enjoyed it. It was one of Disney's better non-Pixar efforts of recent years. I do wish this movie were done in hand-drawn style rather than 3-D.

My mom,sister & sister in law took my 2 boys & daughter. They also took one of my nieces & my nephew. They all came back & said it was good. But they were all 7 & under. I'll have to check the trailer. Never even heard of it.

agreed about your hand drawn comment. I think it has to do with how we grew up. its something i have to get over, even though i TOTALLY agree. I like Treasure planet, some 3D stuff, but mostly 2d style.

that being said.

This movie was AMAZINGLY done well. I am a 30 year old man. I won't pretend to be completely in touch with how a woman feels, but there seems to be LAYERS and layers of stuff that woman will get out of this... i am sure my daughters will understand more stuff as they get older....

music was a great effort at capturing the MUSICAL Disney movie. from top to bottom, great songs for the family.

some posters above seemed to be arguing about the annoying snow man, i just have to clear something up, He is about 1/10th annoying as the genie in aladdin. He kept things grounded in fun, random one liners, but nothing over bearing.....

also, they blew the doors off of the "true love" trap. which honestly , was such a breath of fresh air.

 

they need the act of true love to save someone, and instead of it being the true love of a kiss/man, it was the true love that a sister showed for another sister. This was very refreshing, and a great great example to show children that they dont need to be saved "by a man, but a man can still be a part of it....

well done Disney. Hans Christian anderson would be proud of this loose interpretation.

I love the movie, seen it twice already, though I wish there was more fight scenes with Elsa using her powers.

[Marvelous0ne]

It is the best song on the soundtrack. Idina Menzel's voice is perfection! Even Demi Lovato's single version is good!

As for comparing it to Beauty and the Beast? All the reviews I have seen they compare it to The Lion King. And to me that's Disney's worst animated film since it was a rip off of Kimba The White Lion. And the Story was nothing spectacular!

Wife and I saw it Monday - I was really surprised! I mean, I figured I'd enjoy it, but it was WAY better than I figured it would be. My wife was worried the snowman would be annoying, but we ended up laughing at a majority of his antics. Music was good too, which is another surprise for me, 'cause usually that kinda stuff rolls off my head. Quite powerful stuff here, and I liked how the themes of the songs came back and then sorta merged.

Of course, the ending was what really made this one! They had a chance to make it standard or unique with the ending, and they went with unique! I'm so jaded that I just didn't expect it, so I'm glad they broke the mold a little.

Overall I'd love to see it in theater again before it's done. Certainly gona buy it when it comes out on tape. DVD. Bluray? I don't know anymore. You know what I mean.
