Olaf's antics were funny, but they were by no means what carried the film. The way I see it, the film was quite serious in places; there were just so much emotion portrayed throughout: love, sadness, uncertainty, happiness, relief, joy, anger, fear, just to name a few. Comedy was just one part of this whole picture. I wanted to point out as well (I'm not sure where I saw this first; perhaps here. But I've realised just how massive it is) is the use of doors as a theme. There's just so much use of it! It's awesome. I think I started to touch on it on the page I started; I'll develop it more there :-)



 

The trailers helped, but people just didn't stop talking about it! It did extremely well on release to DVD, and the hype just didn't die down. My brother heard on BBC Radio Two (One presenter, Steve Wright, does something called 'Factoids') where they said, months after coming out on DVD, that it was just as popular now as it was then. I'm not sure how to define popular; obviously it's not all over the tabloids, but then I don't think that that is what makes a film popular. More than often it is just what people are thinking about, and the best way to get an idea of that is through the internet. All the stories, the views that the songs have on Youtube, all the fan-made stuff. It's great :-) Peoples' negative views (that for a film like this are just unfounded) are just completely nullified by the positive reception that the film has received. In a few years they would have died down and Frozen's legacy will be left, untouched. People will recall it then like they do with the films of the nineties and before now. And you're right; it by no means came out at the right time, which just makes its success an even greater triumph. 



Yeah, didn't think that they would go back and lip sync it. It works out OK with just dubbing. When I first started looking in to Frozen I just thought that I'd read it somewhere. Not too worry :-) That was a while ago so maybe I've remembered it wrong.

You don't realise until he reveals himself how much he had to change to the situations that presented him. When I sent you that funny thing about Halloween Elsas, I saw a good profile image around the part we are looking at. Her eyebrows were raised still, but I don't think that that's too much of a problem. I halted my search when I came across a grim cartoon/comic strip. It was where Hans rushes in to stop Elsa from killing the guards. Anyway, in this version she just turned around and shot ice spike up from the ground and killed Hans and all instead, and then was all like, "stay...away". Quite sinister. I saw something similar where it was Hans standing amongst some dead guards after fighting Marshmallow. Oh, and then there was Hans holding Elsa's cape, sword in the other hand, with a grin across his face. This kind of thing doesn't bother me in that it conflicts with canon, because there is no way that it does. It's just bizarre how people will draw it up. I'm not sure why you would. The film doesn't do this because, well, it's in part a kids' film, and that's just not something Elsa would do, or what would happen to her with Anna there to save the day. I could see that she would grease Hans and that if she then marched down the mountain with her army of snowmen as was the initial plan, but they cut that out for good reason - it's just not in her nature. The whole part with her raging is to touch on the idea of fear, and how it could consume her, making her become angry, but that's not who she is. She was forced by the situation, and had to react. It's like the whole 'if' thing I say about; there's no point thinking about it because there's nothing to say 'if' to. We have what we have, so why bother dreaming up random sadistic scenarios? The only thing that I can out it down to is personal satisfaction; the weird kind of satisfaction, that is.

I think the main reason I didn't want to hear it was because one of the people I used to know and is pretty weird was talking about it... You no, my argument's pretty silly. I think the main thing was that I wanted to weigh in, but couldn't with one of my friends sat there, and it probably would have looked strange anyway... That's how the film is successful - people love it enough to discuss it at length. Let them discuss. I think all I just want to do is choose when I think about it, not have it induced by others; I don't want to on the way to work. It's like what I said about assigning when and where to think about different things, and it's the same reason why I don't listen to the songs when going to work, and I guess what you said about not watching the film on a Sunday. I'll just be put in a certain frame of mind that I can't be in for work. There shouldn't be a reason why others can't discuss it. I just have such a deep love for it.

I think you've got an idea of mine seeing as it's a big shop, but I can't see what it is you do on a University campus. Tischies xD I was talking last night at this party to some people about the arts. I spent more time talking about politics and film than 'partying'. It’s great when people are drunk and you can have a somewhat incognito discussion about Frozen xD I love how even a group of 17/18-year-olds have no problem with it, even if they don't necessarily love it as much as I do. I guess we all have our own interests. The behind the scenes film of Frozen stands testament to what you said about the journey. I still think that it was too short - there was so much more that they could have discussed.

I haven't heard of Maitland Jones, although I shall keep a look out for the name. I personally wouldn't want to be tagged like that. One point was that work and your personal home life would become to interwoven, with a company monitoring you in your house...

I would say that books are canon. My issue is that they are too 'basic', but that's because they are for kids, and can't be too in-depth for the like of our insightful minds xD The art in them is great. I wouldn't integrate what they say into the main article, but I'm open to the idea. We need to look at them really... Let's have a dig to see what we can draw up.

The one I have that's towards the end of the film is slightly awkward for a profile picture... Let's keep digging. I'll discuss it on the thread I set up though.

Santino Fonatna's funny. I actually quite like his voice, but it doesn't look like the kind of voice he would have. I just thought that he would have Han's physique. It would help I'm sure too ;-)
