Frozen (Disney film)

It will always be too soon for that.

I don't follow.

It's a joke with a lion, an (ice) witch, and a wardrobe, no?

Oh, now I get it.

The lion is Simba, of course.

Okay, I'd forgive all these Frozen song parodies for being way overdone if they were all animated this well.

The voice is pretty good too. I wish someone would animate the 'Will you help me hide a body' parody. Those lyrics were gold.

That was good. And the tutorial was interesting. What animation engine was he using?

I got Nendroid Elsa from Gen Con!!!

Various interpretations of our Queen. Some are quite pretty.

And heeeeere's Anna! Just to be fair.

Same expression, different artist

I never get tired of browsing Deviant Art to discover amazingly cute artwork of the Sisters. It also proved to be a good weapon against writer's block when I'm ficcing something Frozen-related.

Same here. Frozen's that odd movie where I appreciate the fan art almost as much as the movie, because it's like assurance that after a very long heartrending journey, things are still alright after the end.

The fact that it generates so much creative output on the part of fans tells you something about the story's impact and lasting appeal.

It even got me to write fanfiction. Given how lazy I am, this is quite an achievement.

Of course, Sturgeon's Law still applies but the 10% more than compensate (although in my case, there is some very fine art that I also discard because it features one of those ships).

Yesterday my local morning paper featured an article about how the number of newborns named Elsa had skyrocketed in the US last year. Apparently, the number of Annas remained constant, but there was also an increase in Olafs and, more puzzling for me, Hanses. No word on the number of Kristoffs, which I find kinda disquieting.

I find the idea that people are obsessed enough with any movie to name their own children after it kind of unsettling. Seriously, who does that?

well, it helps in this cases all the names(except kristoff maybe Elsa) are actually real and used so it dosent sound so out of place

You could name your kid "Bruce" after Batman and I'd still think you're weird. I mean, I don't want to tell anyone how to live their lives, but shouldn't a name have some sort of deep personal meaning to the family/parents? I mean, this is the name your kid's going to be saddled with for the rest of his/her life! And unless you're one of the people who worked on it, I don't see how you can really have a deep personal connection to a movie that's beloved by millions of people. "Yeah, everyone likes this movie, but I especially like it!"

If anything, naming your kid after your favorite movie that came out a few years ago just seems halfhearted, like not a lot of thought went into it. "Eh, I like video games. Might as well name my kid Mario. Can't really think of anything better..."

I know at least one person who named his children from characters in a videogame. And it's not much worse than naming them from actors or famous people.

At the very least, Elsa is a common enough name that people could decently claim that it's a coincidence (I've met a few Elsa in their twenties anyway).

But I don't find anything wrong in naming your children from fictional characters, provided it's mainly because you liked the name instead of the character.

The name of a fictional character could also have a deeper meaning for the parents anyway.

in my case I was named for the chararter diego from el zorro(the chararter who will inspired batman) and ernesto che guevara....

Deep? No chance in hell, but people dosent know it so it come across as trivia at best

Well, at least Zorro is an old fictional series and not one that had a big movie in the last couple years.

Maybe but reruns of the old live show(yes there is one) make him popular him until late 90 and the principle stay, they name me for a fictional chararter.

Also is a little bit funny because my mother did the close thing to name me bruce

Also, I'm not sure how many "Annas" should count as being named after Frozen since the Frozen character's name is pronounced "On-na," whereas I'm pretty sure at least 99% of people here in the American south where I live would pronounce it "Anne-nah."

It's a hellova lot better than being named "Moon-unit".

I...*would* have named a gun after Elsa, if it weren't for the fact that I already have a Ruger LCP named "Elsie" (because there's a community in-joke that refers to that gun as "Miss Elsie Pea").

(As it is, the Frozen gun is named "Winter" more as a Band of Brothers shout-out because it is a 1911)

I have decided, my next cat will be named "Elsa". Unless she's extremely playful, and then I'll name her "Anna".
