Disney's Frozen

[Ben]

Because too many people had too little to do during lockdowns…

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

Because supporting out-of-context comedy-relief actors are cheaper to hire and easier to write for than the main central characters of the story, and therefore easier to market.
(Which is why we got an Timon & Pumbaa Disney Afternoon cartoon in the 90's.)

Qv. Disney+'s "Forky's What Is?" series.

[Ben]

Somewhat, but it’s also because those are the "breakout" characters that the kids love, and it’s kids that these shows are made for. And to sell extra merch, natch.

His snow hair for Ursula.

Funko announcement any day now...

I really think I would like him more if he didn’t talk so darn much. If he was just a background character who occasionally said silly things, he wouldn’t be half as annoying.

Frozen II made him a main character. Big mistake.

[Ben]

How has Olaf seen any of these films, anyway…?

[ShyViolet]

Probably this way:

Nah, when Olaf was transported in that "Sofia the First" episode he absorbed the knowledge!

[Daniel]

Cute. Yeah, I'm all in on this.

[Daniel]

Oh man, I loved the shorts! Hilarious and so creative. The Tangled one with Gothel and the smolder. Can't wait for more!

[Farerb]

What could have been:

This one is close to home. The Snow Queen was going to be our next animated feature after the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh. Paul Felix had developed extraordinary settings for the project, we could not wait to get started. Bette Middler had been asked to voice the title character... then the shoe dropped. The CG shoe. The film ended up with a one word title...and the rest is history.

Would I have lobbied for the Bette Midler character...of course!!

Every time I come to this thread, it always crosses my mind that its title is sadly a prescient statement…

[ShyViolet]

LOL. How true.

[Daniel]

Those concept arts are simply gorgeous!
