Ha, that's a great way to look at it xD Although wouldn't it be more interesting to have children that can speak more than one language? I'm pretty much against the idea of having to marry into the same "race". Although I may be a bit of a hypocrite; I'd rather marry a British white girl. Who knows where we'll end up...? I'd marry someone for who they are, and what they mean to me. Nationality/race wouldn't play a role in that decision necessarily, and I my parents’ wishes don’t trump my happiness. I don't really want to think about it right now anyway. Plenty of time for all of that when we’re older ;-)

I bloomin' can't. She can be seen as "selfish” by her running away or her neglect of Anna, but neither was done exactly out of choice. "Old bag" is dumb (how is she?), and like you say, "selfish" breaks down when you put the situation into its context. It's somewhat selfless, putting others first at the cost of her own freedoms. The "no right, no wrong" thing sounds slightly dodgy on its own, but again, in the context it works, and then followed by "I'm free!" makes it all work out. It doesn't mean that she has lost all sense of morality and will go out killing baby ducklings; she's just finding her true self after so long, and by saying that, she gives herself room to experiment further. Some rationale in “selfishness”, but it's flawed.

It's all quite interesting really. I can see a sequel happening, but I wouldn't say that this confirms it, especially since she sort of retracted what she said. She probably got slap on the wrist from Disney, no matter what, though. They are certainly toying with the idea.

It truly is once in a lifetime :-) There's not many films that can have such an impact on an individual (like us, as individuals), let alone as many people as who  Frozen  has touched. As I've said, I'll stay away from that sort of thing from now on. I've settled all of this tripe, so I have no need to continue looking at the same sort of stuff. I already have enough ideas of my own pop up to question why I have such a love. That's a good thing though, because once you have resolved this, then you know that your love is founded. People don't challenge enough, and when you do and show what you are challenging to be perfectly fine, it's a whole lot better. We've said about "kid's movies" before; it's so over-generalised, and too often used as a way to diminish a film and the effect it has. I don't keep track of what films come out when, but to say "no other 'kid's films' came out" is just so nuanced it’s not a valid point. The other films could be just plain rubbish, or just not have as much interest. To say that children didn't see The Hunger Games or The Hobbit also makes the comment lose validity... Agh, it's just so trivial and ultimately meaningless. The people have spoken:  Frozen  is great. In fact, it speaks for itself. Your French-laden out of the "mainstream" opinion couldn't matter less. Life's too short; spread the love, or find something that you do like and move on. 

Seems quite bleak - seems worse because the events are being placed on beloved characters. It doesn't have to turn out this way.  Frozen  is what gets me through the dark parts of life, and makes the light parts more enjoyable too. I'll never stop loving it, as long as I live ^^ 

I love those little things, seeing first-hand how  Frozen  connects people :-) I saw some people in a shop the other day, complementing on the illustrations in a  Frozen  book. It's just nice :-) That's the problem with basically  everything : people underestimate the complexity of a lot, arrogantly assuming that little effort is needed to understand something. People also find it easier; they don't have to think as hard.

Science is. There's nothing about it that is negative. It promotes and contributes to understanding, enabling us to understand our place in nature, and giving us belief in ourselves that we have to be the ones responsible for our own future. It’s also just really interesting :-)

The problem is that life doesn't work like that. The only people I can directly talk to are my friends, who I'd rather not. They're still close enough for a slap though. The involvement of a chair may get me expelled :D Ha, yeah. Visuals certainly come into it when you have a film like  Frozen  compared to something like The Snow Queen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen_%282012_film%29) "Frozen fans will love this"... Pft. I meant to say “ A Tale of Two Sisters"  - there was no emphasis on the "of" ;-)

You mind linking perhaps two 'tame' pieces to me? Not too long though. Thanks. Maybe then I'll get it slightly more. I'm just going to have to quote you: " It's true that a lot of writing can fall into the same category as bad art, but it takes a truly depraved mind to twist language into that sort of thing whereas images, as visual representations, just come more naturally, if that even makes any sense." I don't quite understand, if you could perhaps describe it a bit further. I get that you're open-minded. More so than I am, anyway. I have never taken pleasure from anything 'lewd', Disney or otherwise. I get something when it is suggestive, but I am quite repulsed by "in your face" type stuff. And when you put Frozen or any Disney or child-like element of innocence into that equation, then it just became a whole lot worse. Perhaps then you can see slightly more why I say what I say. I got quite cranky when I brought up the issue with my friends (I sound silly, keep saying friends...) and they just said Elsanna was "hot". They're sisters. You don't see two attractive sisters and think 'ooh, yeah, I could get off to that'. Why don't you see them as people, who share a unique bond with one another that cannot be shared with anyone else? They’re sisters. I’m going to stop before we go back to lesbian-incest… I don't think that because they are 'fiction', it is any more OK. I even said to one about "fictitious..." you know... And he said that that was in fact OK. Hmm... No. Just no. See how grey this all is? My, my, how our minds are funny places. I'm not saying I'm right by any means. In fact, I'd be more interested in understanding the way I think more than anything else.

But as my mum said, it was only sad because it was ending. Why would you want to leave? Heh, I wrote "Ann". I suppose I'll never spot every mistake xD I guess we can only be optimistic :-) And why not? It's  Frozen ! They just can't bring it back for the sake of it. The worst story I can think of would be Hans running around begging for forgiveness, Sven falling in love with a female reindeer (you know how that goes...), and I saw a suggestion once about the trolls coming to visit - no to all. And Elsa better not receive some "greater calling", either. I would rather just cherish the one film than have that attached to it... And if you're looking for good suggestions, well I'll have to get back to you... Unlike the writers at Disney, I’m not paid to make art of that level ;-) Oh, yeah. I guess  Epilogue  was a masterfully done reprise. You also hear a bit of '' Do You Want To Build A Snowman?  play in  The Great Thaw '', when Elsa reconstructs Olaf ^^ Obviously I was aware, I just didn't see it as a reprise. They nailed it. You can stop hating now, haters. If you only like comedies, and went to see  Frozen , you would have been disappointed. It's not a comedy, and I'd hate to see it as one. Olaf's jokes are just enough to provide that little bit of comic-relief. I don't really like trailers; I didn't much care for the  Frozen  ones either, with that cliché voice: "Summer, in the city of Arendelle..." Yes, I suppose it is summer... And then the whole "ice guy/nice guy" thing… So funny I forgot to laugh... It shouldn't have been sold like that. But sold it did :-) Olaf earned his place. The comedy wouldn't have been enough; those two quotes are what make him more than the sidekick. He is the embodiment of Elsa and Anna's love. We'll just have to hope. Though judging by Disney's track record with sequels, well we're just about done for. Maybe they'll surprise us again :-)
