A Cool way of Thinking



              Over Thanksgiving break I had the privilege of watching Frozen. It was a welcome addition to the Disney princess family. Unlike many of the other Disney princess movies, this one was not as straight forward. Let me tell you, when the big plot twist hit, like half the crowded theater gasped. It was brilliant. I think that the way they pulled of something you would not expect from a princess movie, on purpose, was a perfect thing to do.

              Frozen took a great deal of things from Tangled. I am guessing after the success of Tangled they wanted to go with a sure win of a movie. Frozen had the exact same animation style as Tangled. They both had a horse, of sorts, to accompany the main leads. And they both had a similar idea of music. Actually, I would have to say that Frozen did a little bit more than was needed when it comes to the music. They seemed to force some of the songs. It is just my opinion though.

              Frozen was a good movie, but not anything new. No innovation was made other than the story topic. I really did appreciate what the themes were though. Trust me when you see the movie, you will figure out right away what I am talking about. I know that I shouldn’t like there being themes in movies, due to this class. But I think for children’s movies as well say the type of world we are becoming, this theme was necessary, and a welcome idea. At least that is my opinion.

  1. I think that change in what is "true love" was kind of innovative, especially for a disney princess movie
