Yeah the trailers definitely made the film seem like a completely different genre. That being said, I did appreciate Olaf's antics, particularly the scene where he thinks Kristoff's crazy xD. It was so simple but I recall everyone was roaring with laughter in the theater. And oh yes, Anna's face on the throne is so adorable :D

Considering Frozen made so much money at the box office, I gotta say the trailers were probably at least partially successful. However, I attribute Frozen's success more to the word of mouth from people who were blown away by the film. And to all those people who are like, Frozen came out at the right time ... erm no, it was matched up against two very anticipated films, The Hobbit and The Hunger Games and outperformed both. That speaks volumes.

Based on your description of the store, I'm gonna say it's like CVS or RiteAid. Wow, I haven't seen that cover before; I guess they really wanted to emphasize the fact it's based off The Snow Queen. I'd say the poll on the homepage is pretty accurate; people just relate with Elsa very easily. She's very much a main character like her sister, despite having less screen time. I mean, she drives the whole story. And regarding your Photobucket account, great job. Now we can take down the images. All you have to do is post the link in your profile and they should appear as images. A word of caution, you will need to upload smaller thumbnails of the images since Wikia cannot shrink them for you. If you need help linking like this, I can try to lend a hand.

Oh yes, the German one does sound rather funny, but Germans probably think English sounds too soft. Funny, I actually wanted to study German when I was in middle school, but the class was discontinued due to lack of popularity. As such, I've been stuck with French ever since. Regarding other languages, the film is dubbed over for all of them; it'd be too much work to actually go back and change the animation to match the new words. However, usually dubs work out pretty well in the end. Just look at Disney's dubs of Miyazaki's films.

I don't care if someone even turned to me in the theater and told me Hans was the villain; I'd be convinced they saw the film beforehand. Hans operated the way a true scheming individual would: operating in the shadows, keeping his plans to himself, and constantly adapting to new developments. He honestly was the final piece that really helped immerse viewers in the film; we could feel Anna's shock because we were just as shocked. We sympathized with Anna and Elsa further because we too were played for fools by the devilish prince. It's not for nothing kids started crying at Hans' revelation ... his smirk was absolutely terrifying. And I don't care if I'm an 80 year-old-man, if I there's a Frozen re-release, I'm there.

Haha, I don't know if you read Harry Potter but your green-eyed monster reaction reminds me of Harry from the Half Blood Prince. I don't remember exactly how it foes, but when he sees Ginny kissing Dean, he gets all jealous but starts thinking, "It's all right for me to feel angry ... I'm just protective of my best friend's sister ... there's nothing wrong with wanting to rip Dean Thomas limb from limb for touching her" xD. I can't say I feel the same; I get this warm feeling inside when I hear other people talking about Frozen because it shows the extent of people's appreciation for the film. But I will not tolerate unconstructive comments about the film ... it just makes my blood boil with rage.

The script was apparently finalized, as it says "final shooting draft" but I guess things don't always go to plan :). The most important part of any quest is the journey itself, and not the destination; if they saw fit to make amendments as they went along, it's for the best ^^. Anna taught us that much; her journey for love seemed to end with Hans ... but in her pursuit of Elsa, Anna not only fell in love with Kristoff, but she also realized that though love has many forms, at its core, it's always about thinking of others before thinking about oneself :)

My shift was horribly boring; it's either a very relaxed shift and you sit there staring at your screen or it's the complete opposite and you're stressed because the influx of people could cause you to slip and make a mistake somewhere. You can never win with work; but I will say your message gave me a boost too. Made the approaching end of my shift that much brighter. And with regards to "arts" people, yeah we can hold off that discussion; there's already a lot on here as it is xD. But I will answer your question about Tischies. I don't know the full history but it's certainly derived from the name of NYU's film school, the Tisch School of Arts. I'd like to imagine that Tischie was supposed to be insulting due its phonetic similarity to "tushie" but since it's a euphemism, it only makes the phrase endearing ... hence why the film majors adopted it. Fun fact though: Kristen Bell went to NYU Tisch for a bit before dropping out ... and look how she turned out! I agree with you 100%: film is about realizing you are just one part of a greater whole. It takes dedication, humility, and a willingness to work with others to produce something truly wonderful. Why was Frozen so successful? Just look at all the behind-the-scenes ... you can tell everyone invested so much into making this film the best it could be. That's why it annoys me to no end when people focus on the acting and ignore the more technical side of film-making or song-writing. I mean Avatar only did so well because it had astounding visuals ... everything else was decent at best.

No worries about edits; money is a good thing ... most of the time xD. And why, I have indeed heard of Arthur Caplan; my environmental ethics professor mentions him from time to time (it's a philosophy class that I need to fulfill degree requirements but it's actually quite interesting). Ever heard of Maitland Jones? He was some big-shot Princeton professor who found his way to NYU ... I had him for organic chemistry and it was not fun. His reputation precedes him and he knew it; the man even has his own Wikipedia page o.o. Aside from him though, I wasn't even aware NYU had enough of a presence for anyone to name a professor :)

All right, I'll shelve OUAT for a bit since we have more pressing edits to focus on. But I will ask you this: do you consider the Frozen story books canon? I assume they are since Disney has to give permission to publish such works but I just wanted to get another opinion. I mean, I'm a long way off from getting a Frozen book but if I do, I'll want to make sure the information is right before adding it to a page.

While we wait for the release of Frozen Fever, we definitely should keep searching for another picture. Alright so your suggestions ... I've talked about the first and third so I'll skip them (the fourth is a duplicate of the first so I'll skip it as well). The second and ninth have Elsa in a strange position for a profile picture; I'd say she needs to be in a more neutral stance. Same goes for the sixth and seventh. The fifth is somewhat like the one I suggested aside from the fact her mouth isn't open; but the eyebrows are still somewhat raised. The eighth is like the current except a far shot, which would make it less ideal for a profile picture. Of those, I'd say the fifth is best.

And Kristen Bell is awesome :D. She was not kidding when she said she injected her personality into Anna; I can only imagine it made the recording process easier when your actors/actresses are so similar to their animated counterparts. Have you ever seen her sing "Love is an Open Door" live with Santino Fontana? I just love the way she dreamily says, "oh my god" after Santino Fontana is all like, "Anna, I would never shut you out."
