No need for language such as that here.

A movie premise like this is rare, and a story about siblings is also rather uncommon. Its emotional moments all worked, but I feel a movie like this could’ve really ripped my heart out with a bit more work or changes.

Then again, I suppose a movie that has to appeal to younger audiences as well can’t be too emotional, but I’m sure they could’ve handled it anyways.

Plus the parents REALLY bothered me — their callous attitude (dad especially) toward their daughter’s powers (“Conceal it. Don’t feel it.”) was borderline abusive. No wonder the poor girl loses it in the end — it’s very similar to Dash in The Incredibles and the mom’s selfish need to “fit in” versus the dad’s wish to celebrate his son’s incredible natural talent. Character downfall from not being true to one’s self is a strong theme in Disney movies.

But just my two cents. 🙂

I think she was right on … major plot holes in the movie, odd vocal casting (Kristen Bell cannot hold a CANDLE to Idina Menzel, and it shows when they sing together; and urbane Jonathon Groff as clunky mountain man Kristoff? o.o), Olaf’s doofy characterization. It was a good movie, don’t get me wrong. I think the music itself was gorgeous — Disney music really rarely falters — and the animation was amazing. But personally, I’d still rank Tangled above it, and Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast heads and tails above it.

If you go to ITunes, you can get ALL the songs that were in the movie!!
“Frozen Heart” was one of my favorites, too!! Frozen is the best Disney movie of all time!

The movie says a lot─
not just to love others, but to live in love even if the world tells you otherwise. The kingdom became Anna’s world for as long as her sister, Elsa, got coronated as Queen of Arendelle . . . And what was her life like in the castle? Lonely and depressing because she was friendless . . . because all her sister does is shut her out, not knowing that it is for her own good─ it’s to keep her safe from Elsa’s power. Even though it hurts Anna’s feelings a lot, she still dealt with it with hope and happiness, which proves her happy disposition in life and her bubbly personality. And I guess, eventually, that made her heart “frozen” which was shown through Elsa hitting her with her power. It’s like she has had enough already. I believe this was the turning point of Anna. She couldn’t take it anymore─ her sister always shutting her out.

The damage done was so severe that
the trolls couldn’t heal her anymore. I love what Pabbie, the elderly ruler of trolls, said in that scene, “The heart is not so easily changed, but the head can be persuaded.” This tells the audience that we cannot prevent other people from feeling what they feel, but we can always use our words and our actions to tell them otherwise and persuade what’s running in their head, so they might be convinced to not feel the way they feel. This shows that what their parents did of hiding Elsa’s power and isolating her from the world is wrong. There could’ve been a better way, because what they did made it hard for Anna . . . for both of them.

Many people have frozen hearts
because of bad experiences. It is harder for them to love. There’s a feeling of bitterness, hatred, despair, and brokenness, which are harmful and will slowly “freeze you to death” just like what the troll explained. In order to
love again, to thaw that frozen heart, they should experience what true love really is, because like Anna, sometimes we think we know what love is. Right
from the beginning, we saw how much Elsa loved her sister. She was only
deprived from showing it because of the precautions their parents needed to do
to her.

Our parents will always mean well to us,
but parents can make bad decisions to. They are still humans who make
mistakes. This is just a lesson for parents to think of better ways to protect
their children, to think of the consequences in the end because it’s not just
about your child. The world doesn’t revolve around them─ what you do to them will always affect the people around them. Let us not be selfish . . . even if we mean well, let us not forget that we are not the world.

Despite all these, Elsa’s love for Anna never changed.
It remained genuine and true just like when they were kids─ young, true, and innocent. When everything seemed like falling apart and finally being as it is, true love intercedes and mends things back together.

May the good Lord fill us all with love that will overflow for the others to receive and experience as well. 🙂
