This is such a fabulous article! I really liked the points you made, specifically about Rowling and her “speaking” as an author. I, personally, haven’t really thought about the impact of what authors say in regards to their work, so you have definitely provided some food for though. Thanks!

Absolutely. I wish they had spent an extra five minutes or so giving Kristoff a song and a bit more of a backstory. The first scene where the troll mother “adopts” Sven and Kristoff is a little hazy and doesn’t really give enough away to let us know the usual amount of back story (which was super disappointing). But other than that, a fabulous movie!

Disney is most definitely showing their maturity with these recreations of the conventional stereotypes. The first few scenes made me cringe as well, but like you, my expectations were completely misled, ending in a spectacular movie with a very tactful ending! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙂

I haven’t checked out Miyazaki’s animation, but I’m definitely intrigued now that you have mentioned it. It will be quite interesting to see how ‘Frozen’ fares, but Disney movies always do well on the awards side of things.
As you can tell, I absolutely recommend both the movie AND the soundtrack. Both brilliant!

I wholeheartedly agree, well said. You’ve basically summed up everything I was attempting to say so eloquently. Thank you.

Thanks, Ivan. I am so excited that Disney is adapting to the changing times. It’s such an invigorating thing to see that alongside pioneering efforts for equality and feminism, Disney is also following these changes and adapting their typic storylines to show the diverse nature of a developing culture. Such a fabulous thing to witness.

Also it reminded the audience that you shouldn’t jump into decisions lightly (like Anna saying yes to getting married to Hans) because people can be completely different to who we think they are — an important message for people of younger generations.
Thanks for commenting 🙂

Absolutely check it out. You (hopefully) will not regret it. Oh and drag your friends along! The first time I saw the film, I dragged my reluctant guy friend to see it and he ended up loving it (he’s secretly a sook!).
