I didn't like how the trailers portrayed the film, especially by using the whole comedy side of it. Yes, there are funny moments, but they are by no means a main attribute of the film. I think the comedy is subtle in many places, and not as in-your-face as they try to make it. There are Olaf's quite obvious bits, but stuff like when Anna is sat in the throne chair as a child makes me smile, making that cute face :D Then there's the face she pulls when she asks Kristoff if her hair looks bad, and it kind of drops when he pauses for too long. Yes, I find those kind of bits to be little treasures :-)  

The line about a blizzard I think was originally from that teaser-trailer just to add a certain edge, but obviously it became redundant when the film was completed. I'm not sure what goes through the heads of the people running the promotional side of things. They must just be like: Will it make money? Yes? Do it... Not even Disney is an exception when it comes to that kind of thing. Although you can't compromise should you wish to make it in that kind of industry. 

Not like 7/11, I don't think. It's more like Superdrug - not sure of you have those... It's basically where you go for beauty products, feminine hygiene, pharmacy drugs, and to get pictures developed and printed. It just sells DVD's on the side, but it's the only place where I've seen Frozen sold in that particular style. Aha! Found it! Kind of small, but here:

I can't find the back, but it's got the others there (apart from Hans) 

<span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's funny how Elsa seems to be the face of Frozen, even though she is the supposed deuteragonist. I guess it's easier to relate her to the title of the film, and I think Let It Go made her more than just the main character’s sister. I think really they are both main characters; their personalities go hand in hand – they need each other. I'm not sure if the pole on the homepage is representative, but Elsa seems to have done surprisingly well on it. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://s44.photobucket.com/user/Humphry02/media/Untitled-1_zps405b70d0.png.html?sort=3&o=0 <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's the not so-lookie-like-Elsa looking a bit more like Elsa! You see it? <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I made a Photobucket account so I'll just put all my stuff on there from now on. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">I'll have a look at the other language versions. The German one sounds funny. It's quite a rough sounding language; is she telling me off? :D I still don't think any of them match Idina Menzel, although that may be  me being biased towards English... Did they lip-sync the film in any other languages or did they just dub it?<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">No one <span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">saw through Hans' disguise, unless they turned to you in the cinema and go "He's the bad guy; the Duke's just a Red Herring who actually just represents the uncertainty of the citizens". I was impressed when I was younger and went to see Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were rabbit and my dad knew (spoilers) it was Wallace. It's true what you said about Hans as a villain. I'm not sure why the Pridelanders didn't see Scar as an issue though, when it was like slapping them across the face. With Hans it's all there in hindsight, but when you first see him, you just have no clue - that's what's great about him. You’ll be second in line behind me should there a pre-release :-) If there ever is, it may be a while. There was a gap of around 30 years for 101 Dalmatians. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think that we should take the idea of a sequel one step at a time; let's just wait for the short. Don't forget the line, "I was going to stage a little accident for Elsa" as well. That hit a nerve with me. It's also kind of grim the way he was going to kill her. Obviously it never got to that, but death by a sword is a pretty bad way to go... I wish that she'd had just blasted him, although she still thought that him and Anna was still a thing, and then when he said that Anna was 'dead' she just lost her will, along with her strength. Hans' plan was just diabolical. The whole sequence was just so tense. A real good climax to the film though, and the relief afterwards is just indescribable. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">My stomachs fine now :-) I used to get it on Fridays at the end of the school day in Physics. It's very uncomfortable but I'm sure that it's just gas ;-) I'll tell you that story of a close encounter in another message. I don't really want to recall it, but for you I shall. It can wait for a bit - we've created much else to discuss to keep ourselves more than occupied :-) <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Don’t worry about my friend. You’ve still got me xD He has his interests, so I respect that. I kind of become a green-eyed monster when I hear of others talking about Frozen and I’m not involved. Some people did it on the bus; it wasn’t negative, I just was like, “My Frozen. I didn’t say you could talk about it. Mine.” In my head obviously. Ah well... I guess it wouldn’t be doing so well if only we could talk about it. That’s probably what causes me to argue in the comments section on Youtube; I just feel this obligation to defend it even to completely stupid people who have no idea what they’re talking about. For example, ‘Elsa’s ugly’. I’m sorry, your point? She is animated, and her features are slightly different to ours, but in a way that makes her more attractive. I’ve touched on this before, about the whole ‘uncanny valley’ thing. Not sure if I called it that at the time but it was to do with those graphs. Don’t worry though, I haven’t sparked any more arguments since I promised to kick the habit ;-) Sorry, I didn't get your joke. Thanks for explaining though :-) <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’ll read through the script and get back to you :-)  It seems that it's not the final, final thing, but it’s pretty close just from skimming over it. And don’t worry - when it comes to this I won’t argue with the context.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">No, no! I just meant that I haven’t met someone who thinks so much like me xD It was just so bizarre how your thinking was exactly the same as mine on that subject. I think Halo comes second to Frozen with me when it comes to reading into something. I get what you mean about your past self. It’s funny how easily our views can be swayed. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though - obviously. I mean look at what Frozen has done for us both :-)  I wasn’t in a dark place when I saw it as I’ve said before, but on the low days and just on a general day-to-day basis this film just really helps me get through. It got me through my shift today. How was yours? I felt so down this morning. Your message also gave me a little boost, so thanks :-) They are a pretentious lot those drama folk. They just see themselves where they are now and then they'll fall into the limelight with little effort, but who really makes it that big? I really would like to discuss this further. Could I just put it on hold for a bit? It’s just we’ve created quite a discussion here on other matters, and I can dedicate more time to this one once we’ve got the others out of the way. You’ll have to explain how you arrived at the nickname ‘Tischie’ though :D I can see why they adopted it. I don’t think that these people have any place when it comes to films like  Frozen. This sort of thing happens when you have a team of 600 dedicated selfless members all with a common aim, all being a small part of a bigger picture. The actors and directors are a fraction of that, although I think they come under the same category when it comes to commitment. Idina Menzel acknowledged the animators great work in T he Making of Frozen. Have you read  The Art of Frozen  yet? It just makes you appreciate the whole journey so much more. And if you think, the people working on this kind of film know that this was a once in a lifetime experience. Who had heard of the Lopez’s until  Frozen ? It will definitely give them a boost, but I don’t think that they’ll ever work on a film or anything of such on this scale again. They seem pretty humble; the pretentious people never make it into films like  Frozen. Like I said, you need dedication and humility. Only an infinitesimally small amount of people make it to being the Tom Cruise’s or Leonardo DiCaprio’s of this world. Although good on them for getting there. I have respect for men like DiCaprio and Johnny Depp - they've been in the industry for a while and are some of the few that have their heads screwed on.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">I may have a quick look at Anna’s page tonight, and do a page rewrite by Sunday. Sorry I made out that my work here would be massive this week. I know we’re only half way through the week, but working all of Wednesday and Friday was a miscalculation when it came to this, although I’m just thinking of the money. I’m going to blitz through homework (he says) tomorrow, then my man from Ukraine is coming round to help with some Physics on Saturday. I’ll also do that letter to  New Scientist<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;"> tomorrow. I’m going to my mum’s office so that I’ll be less distracted. I wanted to ask you, do you know a bioethicist called Arthur Caplan? He works at NYU, and is to do somewhat with Biology. I just thought on the off-chance…

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">I’d say just forget about writing for OUAT for the time being. We could, when we come to it, have an OUAT page, and just describe the characters which are applicable to  Frozen<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;"> on it. We stick to similar events that have resemblance to the original film and not do it so that we have to mention other characters in OUAT too much.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Poor Elsa… I just want to give her a big hug and tell her it’ll be fine. Although if she didn’t let her own sister get too close how will I ever step into the Ice Palace? :D She was fine in the end though :-) B ut after  Let It Go  she is always doing something quite active, demanding that she make all the expressions. Here’s a link to my suggestions on Photobucket :-)

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Have a look over them all and tell me what you think. Maybe, as you said, we could wait until  Frozen Fever<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;"> comes out and see what we’ve got then, although we do need something in the meantime.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Oh, and I just wanted to show you this:

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">It made me laugh out loud :D It's crazy how much like Anna she is. I guess that's what they were going for :-)
