I also liked the movie because it reminded me of my younger sister and I's relationship. :) I don't have Facebook and I'm never around kids, so I honestly didn't know anything about the movie going in. That probably helped. I had zero expectations and I wasn't already sick of it before seeing it! I never saw Tangled so I can't put in my two cents on that one...Stephanie Loudmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030716097505109881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-33796638917939273862014-04-22T12:30:23.311-06:002014-04-22T12:30:23.311-06:00I'm very sorry… three comments on one post but...I'm very sorry… three comments on one post but I forgot to tell you that the other day Caroline was BELTING the song out as we walked Emily home from school. There were all these middle schoolers walking past us and she had NO inhibitions… she's like, "The wind blows cold on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen… the kingdom of isolATION and it looks like I'm the QUEEN…. don't let them in, don't let them see… be the good GIRL you always have to BE, conceal don't feel…don't let them KNOOOOWW.

I love the hues… the purples and blues and the cool as in cold colors. And the whole ice and icicles and everything it was just visually stimulating. I loved that it was set in Scandinavia because I love Europe of course and really want to visit that part of the world. The music was great, Olaf was hilarious, and I loved the story of the sisters… about staying close. Didn't it strike a chord with you in regards to you and Mary? I loved it because they reminded me of Emily and Caroline… Em has Elsa's same serious more reserved demeanor and Caroline has Anna's carefree, outgoing personality, and she's always BEGGING Emily to play.

Still, really? Has it really beat any other Disney film? Cuz there are some great ones and I have a really hard time wrapping my head around this as fact - it's seriously that much more successful?

I didn't even think that the female protagonists were as strong as the ones in Brave. So I have absolutely no answers to your questions -- the movie just isn't that grand from where I'm sitting. Buuuttt, I will say that the "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" song beats Let it Go any day!<br /><br />-Kate<br />www.theflorkens.comthe Florkenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916792843117696002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-32404052883061416172014-04-20T06:21:18.513-06:002014-04-20T06:21:18.513-06:00I still haven't seen it, but I'm with you....I still haven't seen it, but I'm with you...I would like to understand what makes people go crazy over it!The Girl who Loved to Writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069853342158261301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-2305580501761367982014-04-19T17:29:43.257-06:002014-04-19T17:29:43.257-06:00Haha!

My family came out loving it. One thing I especially liked was how Elsa had to overcome her fears through love. There are few films that put family and true charity as a first priority. Having dealt with mental difficulties such as depression/anxiety, I could relate to the fear Elsa had with her mental battle using her powers. And it's true, love does conquer all :). I also liked that the "bad" guys weren't too creepy. When we watch older disney movies we are constantly having to fast forward through the "scary parts" for my kids. The music was catchy and easy to memorize, making it an instant favorite for my kids. I think people who watch it for the first time, having heard all the hype, build up unrealistic expectations that can only lead to a let down. Frozen is a great family film.Petrice and Caleb Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266675438376958503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-64149855938681848492014-04-19T09:43:49.308-06:002014-04-19T09:43:49.308-06:00I'm with you.

Before, I always identified myself with Belle because she liked to read. But then when Anna came on the scene, I could resonate with her because she says things like "You're not awkward, I'm awkward. You're gorgeous. Wait, what?" and that right there is my life in a nutshell. Plus, Olaf is adorable. Also also, I love Anna and Elsa's relationship. I love how it portrays the real ups and downs of relationships between sisters. For instance, when I get mad at my sister, I turn her bedroom into ice until we agree that we love each other and then my frozen heart melts and we become best friends again.Christina @ Hugs and Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227322279016276299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-72291567844916946112014-04-19T08:28:30.356-06:002014-04-19T08:28:30.356-06:00I love Frozen!

As an adult, I love that a girl saves the day and that the most important love story is the one between two sisters.<br /><br />I think kids like it for the catchy music, the fun characters, and the beautiful animation. <br /><br />That said, I disagree with your assertion, "I know a lot of you will say it’s revolutionary because it has two women as protagonists, because its central theme isn’t the classic love story of a man and a woman, etc, etc, etc. But this doesn’t explain why kids are so bonkers over the movie."<br /><br />Kids are a lot savvier than you think. I follow a great parenting blog called Pigtail Pals and Ballcap Buddies. The facebook page includes a lot of interaction with parents with kids of all ages, and they share stores of how excited their daughters are to see a different kind of princess movie. It's the same reason why so many young girls liked Brave. Kids are smart, especially if you don't talk down to them. I totally noticed gender inequality as a little kid, even if I didn't call it that. And I intentionally sought out media that featured strong girls and women.<br /><br />http://pigtailpalsblog.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711743439868985297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-27994678067909410922014-04-19T07:47:24.787-06:002014-04-19T07:47:24.787-06:00I teach 4 & 5 year old preschool and I have tw...I teach 4 & 5 year old preschool and I have two daughters so believe me I'm about all Frozened out. Even though I'm extremely tired of it I still think it's a great movie. The songs are catchy and the characters are relatable and the humor is spot on for kids. I have a little girl in my class who has been a challenge all year and has just been combative with me. About a month ago I started playing the Frozen soundtrack once a day when they are waking up from naps. This little girl is now stuck to me like glue and loudly proclaims, "I love you Mrs. Lindsay". I know it's because I got on her level with this one thing they're all crazy about so to me it's a win.

I think this one might be extra loved by little kids because the characters are a little more recognisable than the ones in other recent Disney films; fighting sisters, a boy who's best friend is his pet... we adults have said it's stand-out because of the women being the main characters, etc, but I doubt that's why kids love it! Plus, 'Let It Go' is awfully catchy :pAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11531248404941376022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-68370869623325911582014-04-19T00:33:53.514-06:002014-04-19T00:33:53.514-06:00I don't get it either!
