  "Olaf is a Christ figure" gave me fucking flashbacks to my AP Lit in high school where 75% of the class was Christian in some form and no matter what book we were reading, inevitably someone's essay would be how a character was a Christ figure 😂

  Remember those jokes everyone was making about Avatar (2009)? About how it made a ton of money but had no cultural impact? Literally the only thing I remember about Frozen 2 on a regular basis is that the elemental spirits seemed random and inconsistent.<br><br>Edit: I wasn’t saying Avatar had no actual cultural impact, I was just saying that it’s weird that Frozen 2 doesn’t even have that reputation. It’s just. Forgettable to the point of not even remarking on forgettability.

  I recommend the Frozen 2 documentary to anyone who wants to know what making a big budget animated film is like. I have no clue how it came out of the studio’s Marketing Machine because it highlights the film’s flaws despite being framed as a celebration of its success. So you’re telling me that the score felt just as safe and unremarkable as the rest of the movie? WHAT A SURPRISE!

  I didn&apos;t know about the shepperd&apos;s call and I hate that they called it a &quot;siren song&quot;, the idea of a shepperd calling to gather their flock is so beautiful and enchanting, it promises beloging, reconciling with others like you and with the one who cares for you/protects. A siren song is a promise that turns out to be fake, it&apos;s meant to lure you into danger. Both are good ideas, but the first one clearly works better for what Frozen II is, I don&apos;t think they ever ment to make the Voice malicius, so why would it be a &quot;siren song&quot;?

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMDJBST5sCQ&amp;t=1627">27:07</a> As someone who is an AVID lover of film score, the only leitmotif I could remember within Frozen 2 was that 4-note siren call. And the fact that it wasn’t integrated into the rest of the score <b>at all</b> just baffles me.<br>I feel your pain here, my friend😢<br><br>And yes, all glory be to Sideways, the true King of the Leitmotifs🙌

  I was able to pick out which songs were from frozen during your quiz, not because I recognized Frozen, but because I recognized the other films

  What&apos;s crazy is that &quot;the voice is her mom&quot; idea COULD have worked within the realm of this movie tackling self-love...In the eternal words of Charlotta XCX in &apos;Apple&apos;—&quot;I&apos;ve been looking at you so long now I only see me.&quot; If they&apos;d tied in more of the idea of Elsa missing her mom...resenting her mom....feeling much of Anything™towards her mom, and that being the driving force behind her character arc of realizing &quot;the voice is my mom, and because I am my mom, the voice is me!&quot; It&apos;d tie into the &quot;YOU are the one you&apos;ve been waiting for&quot; that her mom ACTUALLY SINGS...Also this is probably me being a hater, but I can&apos;t stand the Frozen creative team laughing over the idea of &quot;what, a singing glacier?&quot; AS IF THIS ISN&apos;T A MOVIE WITH A TALKING SNOWMAN, LOL

  Ya know, I think companies these days worry WAYY too much about confusing kids. Because here&apos;s the thing, as a kid my favorite movie of all time was bolt. I was <i>obsessed</i> with that movie. Watched it over and over!! And yet, I got totally confused about the story lmao. I thought that the dog actually DID have superpowers, not that he was only convinced he did for a TV show. But I loved the movie anyway! And then when I got a bit older and realised what the story <i>actually</i> was, I loved it even more!<br><br>Point is, kids getting confused over plot points wont mean they dont watch. And if/when they <i>do</i> figure it out, the movie can become even more special to them. It&apos;s how we learn the beginings of media literacy! As opposed to bland, uncomplicated nothingness that simply gets consumed and forgotten, with noting to ponder or learn.

  to add to your last point: you are not a large corporation. criticisms of disney and their safe approach to art probably dont apply to you! you arent making art to appeal to every single person on the planet, or at least i hope you arent: youre doing it for you. if your art has your heart in it, you should be proud. it doesnt matter if it might align with something seen as generic or boring. if YOU made it with love and care, that love will shine through to those that matter

  This movie pisses me off for so many reasons. Here&apos;s just one of many of those reasons: It starts with Anna and Elsa&apos;s mother singing this wonderful song about the magical river holding the answers about the past - this is the beginning of the movie, the introduction song, telling us something about the world that we should know about. Magical river, cool, got it! The song is repeated a bit later - Elsa is singing it to Anna when they&apos;re adults, to comfort her. Okay, so this confirms that they still remember the song, and it&apos;s still relevant in their lives, cool, now it almost feels like a set up. And then, they get to the forest, and they&apos;re trying to figure out why the water/snow in the forest created the visions of the past. Well, logically, Anna and Elsa should have linked it to their mother&apos;s song, right? But no. They have no idea who the girl in the vision is (also seriously? They recognize their father, but not their mother, the person who looks exactly like them?), and then Olaf tells them the pseudoscientific explanation of how all water has memory, something he came up with five minutes ago, and they believe him, and they keep repeating the &quot;water has memory&quot; thing for the rest of the movie as if it was a big plot point, instead of what was set up at the beginning. The filmmakers decided that the siren&apos;s voice was going to be the mother, and they didn&apos;t even bother to keep her within the narrative! Absolutely baffling!
