Frozen (Disney film)

Heretic!!

Your phone going "Let It Go" in public isn't humiliating, it's awesome!!

Maybe if I wasn't a male trapped in a college campus full of immature kids...

Elsa in Congress would solve our global warming problem and drought in California.

Heck, make her President. And Anna can be the First Sister.

Someone is obviously not putting in enough effort in spreading the word of our Queen and Saviour in their collage campus...

I once heard someone sing Let it Go (the French version anyway) after a few glasses of wine at a bachelor party. The guy in question is old enough to have kids (and that's probably how he knew the song anyway). Nobody commented on it, but the superposition in my mind of Frozen with a bachelor party was a rather traumatic experience for a few seconds.

If you have Let it Go for your ringtone. At least make it a 8-Bit remix.

Let It Go is a song that I save for "special occasions", if you know what I mean.

Thankfully, I don't use it for THAT. I use it for my Disney Karaoke Days. Probably should've said that in the first place.

...I actually don't know what you mean, and I have a bad feeling if I ever learn what you mean, I'll need some Brain Bleach.

Well, I think the occasion for listening to "Love is an Open Door" is when I want to be reminded of a Barenaked Ladies song for a while.

The occasion for "Love Is an Open Door"? Probably prom night or a wedding, something like that.

The occasion for "Fixer-Upper"? ...None, it's that bad.

Seriously, what does everyone have against Fixer-Upper? It sets up "love thaws", the characters themselves point out they have more important things to be doing, and it gives us insight into Kristoff's family life, the only person who's family life hadn't exposited upon at the time.

It's annoying and unfunny, and it takes away screentime from more worthy plot points. We don't really need to see Kristoff's family life. It's not at all pertinent to the main plot. And it didn't set up "love thaws," Grand Pabbie set that up after the song finished.

Seriously, you can chop the song out of the screenplay and go straight to Grand Pabbie coming in and it doesn't disrupt the flow of the story at all. Really, Fixer Upper is a giant Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. In fact, I think the movie would've been greatly improved by removing all the trolls except Grand Pabbie and then giving Grand Pabbie Bulda's role as Kristoff's parent. We really don't need a huge swarm of cartoon characters when we've already got Olaf (and the Snowgies in Frozen Fever).

It's just a very poorly placed song, due to the fact that Anna is literally dying as they waste time dicking around, and try to force Kristoff and Anna to marry against their will, and even talk about murdering Hans (before we know he's a dickhead) so Kristoff can get laid.

There were many better ways to write a song about "true love isn't spontaneous, it takes work". Singing about Kristoff's more disgusting qualities ain't one of them. There were also many good reasons for them to advise Anna against marrying Hans. Plotting to break up her relationship with someone they've never met so they can force their own kid in there isn't one of them. The trolls don't really seem like "love experts" that way, especially when they try to marry them immediately even though not marrying immediately is one of the film's primary messages. Not to mention that Anna is urgently dying while the song is happening.

Personally, I thought Fixer Upper was OK. Obviously, it's not Let It Go, but it's not horrible (at least to me).

Heheh, Kristoff has known the trolls for too long to be objective about them.

Fixer-Upper and the trolls happen at a really bad time in the movie, when things are getting bleak for Anna (and Elsa as well). It's a zany song that has not much to do with the current plot and ends up being a mood dissonance ("Help me I'm dy..." "Hey look you should totally marry our Kristoff!!"). Also, the trolls seem more annoying than funny there (at least to me).

Last time I rewatched Frozen I really felt this to be the weakest part of the ending. Maybe if this had happened at another time in the movie it could have worked, but not there.

I take the trolls' absence from Frozen Fever as a sign that the writers (hopefully) realize how unpopular they are. I see no reason the trolls should even be in Frozen 2. All we need is a throwaway line mentioning Kristoff's relatives, and that'd be enough. Maybe Grand Pabbie could show up by himself, though. Once Upon a Time at least got that part right (though that probably had more to do with them not having the budget to animate more than one ungodly ugly CGI troll).

I thought that as well. We did get the snowgies instead, but they were less annoying (they did not sing, for one thing), mainly because there was little focus on them.

I thought the Snowgies were done really well because they were adorable instead of ugly and they didn't make annoying sound effects. Making them all completely mute was a wise decision. Kinda reminds me of the Nostalgia Critic's Frozen review where he pointed out the reason Olaf works is because he's not loud and obnoxious. Really, Frozen just isn't a very loud or obnoxious movie, and that's what makes the Fixer-Upper scene so glaring.

It hailed in Austin on Saturday.

At first I was like, "Nooooo Snow Goddess why hast thou forsaken me."

Then again, there was no hail damage on my car.

The Snow Goddess protects.

So I went to see the new Cinderella movie, Frozen Fever played before it, I was happy that Disney made a sequel, but the whole time I was just like "oh god this is going to add more fuel to elsa x anna isn't it"

It's a mini-sequel, actually. There IS a Frozen 2 coming out, but I'm not sure when it's supposed to.

At this point, I think that a movie where the sisters exchange exactly one line in the whole movie before leaving for their respective weddings and spending the rest of the movie with their respective husbands would still fuel the Elsanna pairing.

Also, such a movie would have me begin planning the slow extermination of everyone involved in it, but that is unrelated.

I think there are some people who, if they see two attractive women onscreen together, will want to imagine those women banging, no matter how many reasons there are that it would be a terrible, terrible, terrible idea.
