So incase you DON'T live under a rock, you probably watched Frozen- aka Disney’s 2013 annual Christmas\winter movie. And if you haven’t…well that rock must be pretty big.
Anyway, it’s been almost 6 months since the movie came out, and people still won’t shut up about it (no offense). Honestly, the amount of times that I’ve heard the following phrases drives me nuts:
1. “Frozen is like so cute!”
2. “Frozen is the best Disney movie
ever!”
3. “Let it go! Let it go! This song is so awesome!”
4. “DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWM-“ *punches a civilian in the face*
5. “Frozen is so amazing! I can’t believe you don’t like it, Disney hater!”
Okay first of all, I don’t hate Disney for hating Frozen. That’s the line that annoys me the most, when people think that I don’t like Disney movies for not liking Frozen. No, okay! I love (or should I say loved?) Disney, but only old Disney. The time when Disney was all “Hakuna Matata” and less “DO YOU WANNA BUILD A FREAKING SNOWMAN?”. NO. OKAY, NO. She's a cursed child for god’s sake, AND SHE DOESN’T WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN. JUST LET IT GO.
See what I did there? *wink wink*
Anyway, the point of this post is to show that I’m not just a mindless hater, and I have my reasons for wanting to rip my hair out whenever someone says they love Frozen (or starts to sing Let It Go). This isn’t meant to be offensive, but honestly, I’ve had enough.
First off, the villain. Who’s the villain in Frozen? A guy with overly long sideburns? See, back in the day, when villains were actually scary, people went to bed being scared of Scar, and Cruella de Vil. Now? Are you scared that some guy is gonna betray you and take over your kingdom? Screw you, Hans.
That’s for being the worst excuse for a villain ever.
Now you might go on and say that Elsa is the villain in Frozen, she’s scared of herself, yada yada yada. Yeah, unfortunately, that’s not good enough. You have Scar, Cruella, even Mother Gothel for god’s sake, and then you pull some crap that some chic’s scared of herself? Come on, it seems like Disney’s being lazy.
Besides that, there’s just a lack of emotion in the story. Not one moment made me cry. The ending lacked that “feel-good” moment that all Disney movies leave us with. I cry for pretty much every movie that’s mildly sad (I was even tearing up for the Croods), but Frozen…nope. It just didn’t touch my heart the way most Disney movies do, and are supposed to do. It feels like Kristen Stewart wrote this movie, it was so emotionless, flat, and dull. We want a musical emotional roller coaster of childishness, not a Twilight remake, people!
People say Disney’s “modernizing”, but honestly, I think the reason we watch Disney movies is because they’re timeless, and can make us feel like kids again when we cry our eyes out. The-*cough*-Lion-*cough*-King. Not Frozen. Just no.
Hahahaha not really.
Next up, it leaves questions unanswered. How did Elsa get her powers? They say she was born with them, but now suddenly that happens too? And why did Hans turn evil? Remember that scene when he tells his dad that Anna trusted him and he can’t betray her? Was he lying to is dad who
also wants to take over Arendale?
It looks like we’re looking out for a sequel here. PLEASE. NO.
You know what would’ve made the movie better? If Anna had fire powers and she built a bunch of fire dragons and had a war with Elsa’s ice men and everyone explodes and dies. I should consider going into the film industry.
And then there’s Olaf, the completely useless character that Disney added to do two things: state the obvious and sell more toys. Come on, I know he’s kinda cute, but he’s not like Flounder to Ariel. Flounder and Ariel were best friends, and Olaf is just this snowman who’s delusional about seasons. Sorry, but he just annoyed me.
…or an important role so shut up.
Instead of being all negative, I’m gonna tell you how it should have ended. Elsa or Anna should have died. Either Elsa should have died for Anna, or vice versa. At least Olaf should’ve died. Someone needs to die! The parents’ deaths were stupid, and weren’t even sad, unlike other Disney parent deaths. It was too perfect an ending.
And finally (for me, there’s Nithya’s ranting next :D), the songs and Oscar. One excuse I get for liking Frozen is the fact that it won an Oscar. All good things don’t get Oscars, people! I mean, LEONARDO DI CAPRIO. He’s amazing, and does he have an Oscar, NOPE. Next, the competition. What was Frozen against? Monsters’ U and Despicable Me 2? Both of those movies were not as good as the originals, honestly. BUT THEY WERE BETTER THAN FROZEN. Now to the songs. LET IT GO ISN’T THAT GOOD STOP MAKING COVERS ON YOUTUBE AND STOP SINGING IT PLEASE MY EARS ARE GOING TO BLEED. Not because of your voices, but because IT’S THE MOST OVERRATED AND OVERSANG SONG OF THE CENTURY. It’s not catchy, or even good.
Hear me out, alright? She says “Conceal don’t feel,” which happens to be quoting her abusive parents. HOW MESSED UP IS THAT. And then she says, “Let it go.” Hypocritisism much? And the song itself….It’s no “Call Me Maybe”, or “Happy”, or one of the songs that we’re going to listen to in 20 years and say to our kids, “You know that song used to be my favorite back in the day.” Instead, we’re going to sue the radio station.
SPECIAL NOTE FROM YOURS TRULY (NITHYA)
HAHAHAHA. NO IT'S NOT FUNNY.
THREE REASONS WHY I HATED THE MOVIE-
1. THE STORY,
2. THE STORY,
3. Aaaaand (wait for it)... THE STORY.
So, what I'm trying to say here, is that the story sucks. You know, for all the dense ones out there. Who Mansi wasted that brilliant rant on. WHY DISNEY, WHYYYYYYYYY?! As Mansi mentioned a million times, The Lion King is an actual Disney classic. And it's not this bull. AKA Frozen.
That's all thank you :)……POTATO.
THANK YOU FOR THAT SPECIAL NOTE OF TRUE TRUENESS OF TRUE-OSITY.
In conclusion, this wasn’t really meant to offend, but honestly, if you consider Frozen Disney’s best, you’re either 5 years old and haven’t yet seen Disney’s best, or you have no taste. Sorry, but it’s true. How do you watch the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella, and then say Frozen is the best? Come
on.
