Disney's Frozen

[Farerb]

How do you know any of this? Those female characters all exist in separate stories/universes. Isn’t just possible that they’re all unique characters too?

If you're saying Raya is "different" from Moana, that's a fairly relative term.
They seem to be the same character, with ethnic backstories swapped out. And, one uses an oar as a weapon, the other doesn't.

(Now, if you said that 90's Disney was "grinding out assembly-line princesses" during the Renaissance, that brings up whether you could tell Jasmine apart from Belle or Mulan.)

Aren't Belle and Esmeralda the same "male bashing" characters to you?

You see, I'm not REALLY saying anything in response, because he won...Yay!

[Daniel]

That makes as much sense as Frozen II...

(There weren't really two other thread-appropriate responses to Farerb's post, you know--Big Ben is Watching You.
And the Forum is not at war with Eastasia.)

[Ben]

Thread appropriate? Maybe.

Forum appropriate? Probably not…

More Olaf on the way:

An all-new original series of shorts from Walt Disney Animation Studios called Olaf Presents, which sees Frozen’s beloved snowman retelling several classic Disney tales as only he can.

If it wasn't too much before...! Oh well, sounds cute and similar to that scene from the sequel. Now that moment I loved!

[Farerb]

I don't have any more good will left in me to give to that stupid snowman. Such a shame too since he started as a loveable naive sidekick, but of course Disney had to turn him into the most obnoxious thing they ever made, and with that Josh Gad voice too... Sure let's see him turn Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or The Lion King into a gag, I'm sure it's not going to be overplayed and tiresome... I didn't even care for it in Frozen II, it really didn't need a recap of the original film, even the cheapquels didn't do it. When I was a kid and watched Return of Jafar I didn't think "hmm... What happened in the original?!? I'm so confused". Everyone saw the original Frozen, but now is the time where the people at Disney don't trust their audience (see Into the Unknown episode 4).

"Previously on Frozen…"

[Farerb]

I mean even the most die hard Frozen fans would rather they did something with Anna or Elsa or Kristoff or Hans. Even do something with the Northuldra like a TV show or something, such a waste.

[Ben]

The entire Frozen franchise is really only good for the first 33 minutes of the original film. I actually found the Frozen Adventure Christmas special and its songs better than anything else that’s come along since (and…shh…that wasn’t the Lopezes!).

[Farerb]

I never cared for their music, their songs always have that annoying quirkiness quality to them, unsophisticated like the films themselves. I agree that after Let It Go, what we get is wolves, Olaf, Marshmallow and trolls while Anna and Kristoff have deep conversation about "love experts" (a real Disney masterpiece ).

Fun fact - before Frozen II, Jennifer Lee said that Olaf's Frozen Adventure was not canonical, no one understood why, but after the film it was clear that's because Elsa sings "cause when we're that's my favorite place to be" (apparently not, Elsa, apparently not).

[Ben]

If anything it’s Frozen II that should not be canonical…!

Why do animation studios always take one little funny moment in a film and then decide to beat it into the ground?
