Frozen (Disney film)

x5 Well, technically we've already had a lot of children's books where Elsa just kinda hangs out with no real stressors. I think the consensus is that she's more serious and responsible that Anna, but she's not above participating in some goofiness every now and then.

Word is that she makes them when she sneezes, actually.

Though I could see her making more absentmindedly while she's drunk, too.

Oh okay. That would be amusing. I was thinking they were Marshmallow when he's broken apart.

I bet all children would want a huggable Elsa Snow Snot plushie.

I had heard about the marshsmallows being created when she sneezes, but I find this too unoriginal and I'm still hoping for it to be something else^note And I know it won't. Although I would be really, let's say interested, to see kids eager to buy Elsa Snow Snot plushies.

They're the adorable children's magical companions! Straight from the Snow Queen's sinuses to your home!

Well, given that they've already got the likes of plush Cthulu and plushie deadly diseases, it hardly seems that far a stretch.

Being snow queen is tough when having a cold makes you have babies.

Don't the promotional quotes/interview say the medicine causes a lot of the trouble? In that case, it's possibly/potentially more "being drunk makes you have babies".

True story.

Hey, could we start spoiler tagging spoilers, please? This thing is like eight minutes long. I want as many surprises as I can get from it.

For some reason, Elsa being drunk and somewhat losing control of her powers makes me uncomfortable. I'm not quite sure why.

Sorry, I just added spoiler tags. Since it's from a pre-showing interview, I didn't realize/consider that some people might want to avoid reading it. My bad.

As pointed out earlier, this wouldn't be the first time Disney used drunkenness for comedic effect, although since most people view Elsa more seriously than say, Dumbo or that mouse sidekick, and she's a human being and not a random animal, and also female when drunk characters are usually a "lol boyz r stupid" kind of joke, that does make this case rather.... interesting, for better or worse

I rather suspect that this is going to be some sort of elaboration on the "Defrosting Ice Queen" theme. In other words, she had to get a little tipsy to relax and be her true self, or some such.

I'm starting to get the feeling I may need to abandon the thread soon until I get a chance to see the short.

In the meantime, here's another analysis of the actual tragedy behind "Let It Go" from the same person who wrote some other blog posts about the movie.

I really hope they don't go that route. That would send a rather... strange message. Have trouble letting go of your traumatic childhood and adolescence ? Nothing a good old binge won't solve!

I guess this particular plot makes me uncomfortable because I had been expecting sisterly fluff, not "why is my sister acting so strangely all of a sudden ?". That, or I have become an Elsa believer too and thus consider drunk Elsa a blasphemy .

I'm occasionnally surprised at the number of Christian people who gush about this movie (especially considering how we joke around here about starting an Elsa cult). On unrelated matters, where the Hans does that picture at the end of the blog article with Anna wielding a torch in the ice palace come from ?

Was it a concept render/painting?

I think so.

By the way, I'm pretty sure Elsa is Catholic.

I occasionnally wonder what is the stance of the Church about magic powers in the Frozenverse. Especially when this magic allows to create sentient life. Would they consider snowmen to have a soul ?

Or do they all share Elsa's soul?

Hmm. It's an interesting situation. On the one hand, suffer not a witch to live.

On the other hand, Kings and Queens were seen as ruling by divine right, the "Divine Right of Kings". So it could be seen as God's will that she has these powers.

It now occurs to me that Elsa is technically walking on water when she flees the castle (the ice does seem really thin). Then she walks alone in the snow (technically a desert). And there is her sister dying to save her and being reborn. Mmm...

Okay, scratch my remark about being surprised at this movie being liked by Christians. On the other hand, the Bishop of Arendelle may be wanting to say something to the Pope about a Second Coming...

And the Pope says "She can't be the Second Coming, she's a woman.".

Josh Gad preemptively apologizes to parents for getting a new song stuck in their kids' heads.

There are too many worms in my ears...

Oh, like you guys weren't bent on world domination, you tricky bastards.

Disney started their path of world domination in the 90s, fumbled and were challenged in the 2000s, but are now rising once more.

The day will come, maybe not now, but in a few years, where the majority of the top ten highest grossing films of all time will be the works of Disney. And they gaze upon their works, and call it good.
