frozen characters and movie

[buzz2400]

I have been reading so much about how great frozen was and everyone wants to do the meet and greet. I finally watched the movie. It was just like every other disney movie. In fact, I really didn't think it was that great. So what is the hype about it. Not trying to cause any trouble. I am just trying to figure it out.

I personally think the music and songs made it great. Not just Let It Go (which my kids sing ALL day EVERY day), but all of the songs!

I agree. The music is really what made the movie stand out for me. Plus, [SPOILER ALERT] I love the fact that it's sisterly love that saves Anna in the end and not a prince.

I was disappointed! I felt the character development was incredibly lacking and the plot felt sloppy. I mean I enjoyed it. But it's not THAT good. In my own opinion, of course

Except Olaf. I'm a little obsessed with him lol I also think I'm in the minority that I do NOT like Elsa.

Two strong female characters and good music and the 3d was awesome. I was pleasantly surprised because I didn't really expect to like it.

I'm with the OP. Maybe it's because I waited until the DVD came out to watch it, but I though Mulan and Hercules were better movies with better music. I'd sing half those songs with my kids every day!

On first watching I loved it - loved the animation, it was a sweet story, and liked the music. After it sunk in, though, and I watched it another time or 2, I realized I don't love it as much as some others.

I think what I am missing is one of my favorite elements of a Disney fairy tale - a diabolical villain. Sure, there was the dude who was trying to woo Anna just for her lineage and ended up being a creep. Far cry from an Ursula or a Maleficent, or even a Mother Gothel!

In the extras, the directors were discussing how Elsa was originally to be a hard-core villain, but they decided that would make her character not as interesting. I disagree, THAT would have been awesome. But then, I have always been partial to a good villain.

Different strokes for different folks. I really liked the fact that the "villain" was a more nuanced character and that we didn't find out he had ulterior motives until later.

And I'm really glad that Elsa wasn't a villain. I loved how her character came out and felt that made her MORE interesting than if she'd been cast as a hard-core villain.

I didn't see the big deal either myself, but I think because it was so fast moving with one stand out song in particular, that it appealed to the pre-school and elementary school set. It was kind of ADHD in moving quickly, plus songs. It was tailor-made to appeal to that age group, plus being reinforced daily through the Disney channel clips and ads. So I guess we'll probably see more done that way now. I thought Tangled was better actually, and appealed to a bigger range of people.

 

[AngiTN]

No clue. I liked the movie well enough. Found it entertaining and all that but Tangled was better in every aspect, in my opinion. So the massive draw leaves me

Another one here who thought it was much ado about nothing. Don't get me wrong, I thought the music was ok... I'd listen to it on a disc, but the movie itself was just meh.... maybe because it was so hyped it didn't live up to my expectations
