@jf k I honestly don't remember, is that directly said in the sequal or is it just a speculative guess. If the latter, than it doesn't count as a defense for either film. If the former, no one should be crediting the first film for something the sequal does. So no matter what the first film is still hypocritical when it comes to critism of fairy tail romances.
@@kevinbell5674 from the looks of it, it’s actually been some years in the events of first and second movie. Kristoff and Anna actually dated for quite some time instead of rushing into the marriage, yet doesn’t change the fact that she did fall for 2 guys within one day only.
The parents didn't treat the kids differently. They were trying to keep Anna safe and try help Elsa control her powers but it wasn't quite done in the correct way. Also they didn't CHOOSE Elsa over Anna to be queen. Elsa was first born, it's her birthright. 😊
Sorry for the two year reply but they were treated differently but not the parents fault. Elsa was told why she had to grow up alone which is why she distance herself from others. Anna was forced to grow up alone without giving a reason which is why she clings to others.
"Coronation day" is literally the day when the heir gets their crown. Elsa is the firstborn, and therefor the heir to the crown. It IS her birthday, and the coronation day.
one of the major messages of this movie is that love is active and sacrificial. Anna had to perform her own act of love--saving Elsa--not be a passive recipient of it
THAT, yes, and also the subversion of expectation of it having to be romantic love. They did it in Maleficent as well. Disney making up for past sins, I suppose, and celebrating familial love over romance.
Elsa was voiced and sung by Idina Menzel. Who also originated the role of Elphaba in the stage production of 'Wicked'. She is recognized as one of the greatest stage performers of her generation and has been on film, stage, and tv pretty much constantly since the 90's.
She's also one of the few original performers from RENT who reprised their roles for the film adaptation of the stage production. She even met her husband Taye Diggs on the Broadway set of the show.
The main message of the movie is that while romance is fickle, family love is unbreakable. The entire situation resolved itself by their sisterly love, instead of the typical Disney “true love’s kiss”. It honestly has a bigger impact on me. THIS... THIS is why Frozen is still one of my favorite Disney movies.
In monarchy it's usually the oldest sibling that becomes the queen/king. That's why Elsa became the queen. In some circumstances the younger sibling might take over like the oldest died, or is mentally/ physically unstable to take over, or refuses to do it. And, no, Elsa didn't mean to use her powers when she used them at the beginning. She was never thought how to use and control them. Only thought how to hide.
One of my favorite details of the screen play is that when Elsa is building her ice palace and finally letting herself feel a bit of freedom instead of suffocating expectations, she is referred to like an artist. "In a flurry of creative release, she raises the snowflake on ice beams, builds walls, archways, a glistening chandelier, and an intricate ceiling that leaves the sky visible. Standing firmly in her mighty palace, Elsa removes her crown and throws it. She takes down her hair and creates a new dress made of ice. The sun rises. Elsa struts out onto the balcony and into the light. She's free."
My second favorite would have to be the moment where Hans tells Elsa that Anna is dead. "Elsas face sinks as she realizes what she has done. Elsa drops to her knees, emotionally broken. And with that, the swirling storm suddenly stops. The snow freezes mid-air, hangs suspended, trapped in grief."
I think (if I remember correctly) that "Do You Want To Build a Snowman?" was added after test audiences didn't really feel the sisterly connection and love between Elsa and Anna. I think DylanIsInTrouble touches on it in his reaction.
well in the least, none of this mess would've happened, but as usual parents have to go and traumatize their kids instead of communicating with their kids. smh
If I remember right, Disney movies often have a parent die because it can be a fear for some children, or a difficult situation for children to be in when they do lose a parent, and showing characters that children can relate to experiencing that loss and overcoming it can help them have the confidence to do the same.
Actually its because walt lost his mom in what was essentially an accident. He blamed himself for it however Always check your carbon monoxide detectors! Or get them
It's also that most classic disney movies are based on European flk tales/fairy tales and the dead parent(s) is allready a thing in the source material.
@@LunatheLoungeSinger Well yeah, but Bambi could have just been done that way because they could add in danger of hunters. I'm guessing that was just a fluke, but then after that, it became a pattern.
Seeing that there’s still some love left for this movie renews my hope in life and makes my day a better day. It’s not perfect, but it definitely gets undeserved hate.
Yeah, it was sort of too successful for its own good and folks got annoyed with it. If it stayed around Tangled popularity, everyone would still love this movie.
I do love Anna's reactions through this film especially things like her edging away from Kristoff on the sleigh when he asks if her parents warned her about strange men. Also like all those little cut ins of "I'm going to tell him" and "Don't you dare" when Melverse comments on Hans. Watching the sequel actually expands the story quite well too. I watched this far too many times at the theatre because I was trying to catch all the little hints and details they put in the background of this film like the many hidden Mickey Mouses or the way during the confrontation in the castle (when you ask if Elsa can die from ice) and Hans looks up at the Chandelier before dragging the crossbow to hit it so he looks like a hero while trying to kill Elsa.
Their parents never taught Elsa how to control her powers. "Conceal, don't feel". They never mentioned them to Anna as she forgot once the trolls healed her.
I feel like the lesson in this movie, the lesson I’ve tried to teach my daughters ever since it came out, is that you have the power to save yourself. It’s within you: love. It doesn’t come from a lover or from a job or from a house or anywhere else, it comes from inside you.
Yeah, the story is definitely lacking depth. If they had kept certain parts, like the songs “We Know Better” and “Life’s too short”, it would have gone deeper into Elsa and Anna’s relationship. Like I keep saying, I think the Broadway musical got way deeper into characters and themes, like Elsa seeing herself as a monster and Anna and Kristoff’s relationship. I cannot recommend it enough.
5:22 Actually, I think it was explained a while ago that Walt Disney feels guilty that his mother, Fiona Disney, died in a gas leak in the house where they moved, especially after his mother complained that she smelled a strange odor coming from the furnace. So I think in order to get over this trauma, in most cases Disney stories, the mother figure (in most cases), but not only is she killed or portrayed as a dead person already: Pinocchio, a puppet without a mother, Lilo and Nani's parents from "Lilo and Stitch" -dead in car accident before the movie, Queen Athena from "Little mermaid", killed by pirates, Bambi's mother, died by a gunshot, Belle's mother, not even introduced... and Mufasa, who even after 28 years, this death make people cry 😣
yup, and ever since no Disney mother has been allowed to live, if there are female protags then they are unmarried and childless. hell even in Dumbo which i think came BEFORE Walt last his mom, she was separated from Dumbo and he didnt see her until the very end of the movie.
@@ceceelove7996 sadly doesnt count when Kuzko was the main focus, not Pacha. i mean even Kuzko makes that crystal that Pacha was the co-star, co-stars are exempt and Kuzko's parents? both dead... so yeah cant agree with there Cecee, you're welcome to try to give another example, it was a good try, but the Disney curse strikes again.
When we see Elsa singing Let it go we understand why it stuck on every ones’s mind. Even I had my random Elsa moments back then, bursting out singing, scaring everyone. Love that you do some Disney reactions!
BRO I SHOULD NOT BE LAUGHING AT THE SCENE WHERE ELSA STRIKES ANNA IN THE HEAD WITH ICE BUT THE GUNSHOT EDIT NOISE WHEN IT HAPPENS GOT ME DYINGGGG😭😭😭 I CANTTT🤣😭
A coronation is when the next king/queen is crowned. ELSA BECAME THE QUEEN, because she was the eldest child,Anna is still a princess. HANS only asked ANNA to mary him because he was 13th in line to become king. So he would never be king unless something happened to his father and all of his brothers.
There was a professional singer on tap to do Elsa's song Let It Go. The voice actress did it for comparison. The final cut went with the VA. All 200 plus viewings of the movie due to a toddler aside, she killed it. My daughter did not even like the Demi Lovato version. We'd get ugly looks of pouty anger at that version.
There are more than one kind of love. They got the whole audience so wrapped up the stereotypical "magic kiss" trope, that you totally forget that familial love is powerful too.
I look at the movie this way - it's an allegory of a young women coming of age and dealing with their own sexuality. Elsa represents a frigid woman an "ice queen" and shuts everyone out. Anna is the opposite and she falls in love with the first man she meets. The traditional fairy tale trope is that Prince Charming will save the princess. What I like about Frozen, especially as a parent of two daughters is that it turn the trope on its head - it is not the love of a prince that saves them, rather it is the love of family and each other. Elsa warms up a bit and lets people in, Anna chills out and lets Kristoff be her friend. It's about finding moderation in one's life, and embracing broader relationships rather than purely idealistically romantic ones.
If you loved Elsa's voice than you should really watch Rent! She is one of the main characters in the movie and all of her songs are absolutely amazing not to mention the movie itself as an incredibly powerful one!
I have a 9 yr old daughter. This movie came out when she was a baby. As a result, I've seen this movie more times than any other movie ever made, more than even Lord of the Rings (my favorite movie). Had to watch it over and over and over again
😁 Very fun reaction and commentary! I have seen the movie multiple times and never realized how Anna was dressed “like a maid” while Elsa was more formally dressed as kids. It was nice to see someone liking the soundtrack and special effects too.
The message I first got when I first saw the movie was that you don’t need a man to save you😂Bc you know how most Disney princess movies it’s always the prince saving the princess but in this case Anna’s sister saved her Bc of their love for each other as siblings, also I learned to not keep your feelings all bottled up Bc when you let them out ALL at once things can go wrong but you have to realize there is always someone out there that cares about you and loves you and will do anything even risk their lives to support you like Anna did. Anna saved Elsa which was the greatest act of true love.☺️☺️
This movie always brings good memories. When it came out my kids were young and we used to sing along to this soundtrack at the top of our lungs… now they’re teenagers and my existence embarrasses tf out of them lol
You are the best movie reactor. You understand the production, animation music and everything else without being a snob about it. You are also funny as heck
Man I saw this in theaters during my college years for 3D Animation because the ice effects in the trailer amazed me. And after watching the movie, Elsa clicked in me an understanding of myself that I hadn't realized; my abuse had made me afraid to form connections because I expected people to hurt me back. And seeing Elsa have her super powers, being beautiful and a literal Queen but still doubt herself because she had hurt the person she loved more than anything is very special to me. It helped me take back control on my life. Frozen 2 did something similar for me, so I look forward to you giving that a chance! Also I would recommend the two shorts, Frozen Fever & Olaf's Adventure, if you just want to see a few minor relationship details that happen in that lead to movie 2.
The first Disney movie that had a family member be the act of true love.It's always the guy who is the act of true love. This movie shows that family is the key.
"An act of true love" doesn't need to be romantic, which was the whole point of subverting it. and I love that they prioritized the sisters' relationship over any romance.
Elsa is the eldest there for the heir. Honestly I would assume her coronation would be on her 18th birthday or the equivalent of the time she becomes a legal adult in that compan country because their parents are already dead
I feel that the message may be not to hide your potential in fear of hurting someone else, but instead to practice and perfect it for yourself and everyone else. And that love can thaw a 'frozen' heart, I wish they utilized this one a bit more
So here's the neat backstory to this movie: The reason why Prince Hans' villain twist comes so late is because initially, he was supposed to be good and Elsa was actually supposed to be the villain. But then the songwriters penned "Let It Go" and Idina Menzel sang it and the creative team realized it was the key, and that it was way too powerful and inspirational for her to be a villain. So they rewrote the third act late in the game.
Carrot? I’m still freaking traumatized by watching my 4th grade friend let her dog drink water out of her cup, then drink it herself. She gave me the whole “dog’s mouths are cleaner than humans” spiel. HELL NONONO 🤢
It is interesting how the greatest happiness we can get is from other people, but it can also cause our greatest sadness. A lot of people don't want to take that gamble anymore, so they shut themselves in.
I have a love/hate relationship with Frozen. I have a daughter that was 2 1/2 when this came out and well I’m sure you know how that went. Great movie but I’ve must’ve heard “Let It Go” God knows how many times. Disney on Ice,dolls,toys,Disney World,clothes etc it was CRAZY! However it was a great movie lol
@@ianp1986 In Sweden, they changed the succession so that the crown is inherited for the eldest child. The current king has three children, and the eldest (Victoria) becomes the ruler, regardless of gender. She has younger brother, Carl Philip, but he will not be the king.
Omg I've been binging your reactions and I just have to say its finally nice to meet someone else who does not know how to just not make a snowman but how not to make a snowball. I'm right there with you!! Love your reactions!!!!
Elsa was voiced by Broadway vet, Idina Menzel, who originated the roles of Maureen in Rent and Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Witch of the West) in Wicked. She also played Shelby, Rachel Berry's mom, on Glee
this is VERY loosely based on "The snow queen" (Hans Christian Anderson). until they heard the song 'Let it go' Elsa was going to be the villain. there's hints in the early trailers aswell. I saw the northern lights in Iceland it was incredible but there's a few places you can see it.
The thing that annoyed me about this movie the most is that it overshadowed the (imo) much better movie that is Big Hero 6, that released around the same time; which remains one of my favorite animated films ever made.
I love Big Hero 6 but let’s be honest, it’s just the same Marvel movies they always make, just animated. Plus since it was already a comic there’s was nothing new or groundbreaking we saw there. Frozen was Disney’s new renaissance, with one of their beloved folktale throwbacks, now told in original, emotional ways that didn’t fall into their usual tropes. People take it for granted now but it was truly a cultural reset at the time which is why it was so hyped.
I have seen this movie for almost 100 times but I don’t remember Olaf sliding on the ice while they were rushing to back to the castle, that was so funny 😂
MellVerse: "You can't kill a queen!" Well... History has seen quite a few queens executed. But... Once Elsa was crowned queen, she became a "queen regnant", or reigning queen. I did a brief internet search, but couldn't find any queen regnants that had been executed. The Queens I did find were either uncrowned (Lady Jane Gray), or a queen consort (Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard). I'm not sure where Alexandra Feodorovna would fit in here, as she was an empress consort.
Man I was sort of the same way (a hater 😭) when this movie came out. I really had no interest in it because of all the hype, but then I just watched it one day when I was sad and in the mood for some Disney happiness, and when I tell you I absolutely bawled my eyes out during *do you wanna build a snowman* when their parents died and Anna was trying to connect with Elsa. That is just so real and so many siblings (and people in general) can relate to feeling so much grief but not being able to share and open up about it. And after that I just fell in love with this movie because it had so many amazing messages and themes that were, at the time, so much deeper than anything Disney had done before. I think people really forget how much this movie really broke the mold for Disney and opened up their animated stories in a whole new way. Frozen to me feels like the start of the new Disney renaissance era they are currently in, with their deep emotional storytelling, the same way the little mermaid saved Disney in the past. Groundbreaking (no pun intended lol) 🥶❄️
You should keep adding to the fear list on each video and it will be a funny gag that’s your fans will know and first viewers will question and slowly pick up
I cried during the whole ice castle construction scene. The animation just absolutely moved me, little 17 (18?) year old me at the time. Also my mom had guessed who the bad guy was right from the start of the movie. Her and my aunt spent their childhoods reading Harlequin romance novels, and the bad guys in them were, a lot of the time, “heirs with no chance of ascending to their own thrones or places of power in their family”, so they’d find somewhere to usurp their way to the top.
@@straight_up_geek_ think I was a high school junior when this came out, 16 years old - lord, I’m 25 now. 😂 second movie came out when I was student teaching in an elementary school for a college class. Time flies, man.
My biggest issue with Frozen is that the parents tried to protect Elsa but ended up secluding Anna away from everyone as well. How was that fair to Anna??!! 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾
She and Anna are roughly the same age, but technically, Elsa is the oldest, and with no male heir (fan theories aside), she is being corronated as queen. Standard procedure, regarding royalty in any standard Disney flick. Btw, Anna wasn't about to crap herself, just explaining in her own way that she's anxiously awaiting the first contact with the outside world in at least a decade. No one was allowed to go in-and-out of the castle, so that Elsa would be isolated enough that she couldn't hurt anyone with her powers growing stronger every day.
Fun fact: There is a theory that the parents did not die on sea, they stranded in Africa where they survived in the jungle and had a little baby boy - Tarzan, from the Disney movie of the same name.
lost my shit when they made olaf in the beginning and you immediately said "why'd y'all build probably the most stupid looking snowman" LMFAOOO i swear he looks so goofy. love him tho he is a comedic legend
The whole point that a lot of people seem to miss with regards to "True Love" in this movie is that it actually has multiple forms that are equal in power to one another(romantic, familial, platonic/friendship there's also a 4th that is "goodwill towards fellow people that I believe they tried to portray in Raya but messed it up). Disney's had a history of basically pushing this whole "romantic love is superior/the be all end all" and the only "True Love" that conquers all....when it's not and never was. Only friendship can be argued as superior in any way *only* because it's literally the foundation of both true romantic and familial love when you really think about it. Especially since true family isn't about the blood you share but how you treat and be there for each other, and the most successful married couples often describe it as like being married to their best friend. Basically Disney is trying to break away from that whole "romantic love is all you need" since it's not true, you definitely need more people in your circle/corner than just your SO. Especially so seeing as it's literally impossible for 1 person to do everything and therefore be your everything for you(which is just relay unhealthy, we're a social species that need *people* not just a single person though that is better than nothing).

Elsa is the eldest if you guys don't know. The next in line for the throne is the eldest child to the youngest. Meaning anna is second in line of the throne. That's what I generally know about monarchy.

"You can't marry a man you just met," must be the most realistic line ever said in a Disney movie.
And then the movie shoots itself in the foot by having Anna fall in love with the 2nd guy she's ever met and only knew for a day.

HANS only asked ANNA to mary him because he was 13th in line to become king. So he would never be king unless something happened to his father and all of his brothers.
There was a professional singer on tap to do Elsa's song Let It Go.
The voice actress did it for comparison.
The final cut went with the VA. All 200 plus viewings of the movie due to a toddler aside, she killed it.
My daughter did not even like the Demi Lovato version. We'd get ugly looks of pouty anger at that version.
I don't even know how she can consider herself vocally talented
speak for yourself bro , i prefer the Demi lovattto version.
There are more than one kind of love. They got the whole audience so wrapped up the stereotypical "magic kiss" trope, that you totally forget that familial love is powerful too.
I look at the movie this way - it's an allegory of a young women coming of age and dealing with their own sexuality. Elsa represents a frigid woman an "ice queen" and shuts everyone out. Anna is the opposite and she falls in love with the first man she meets. The traditional fairy tale trope is that Prince Charming will save the princess. What I like about Frozen, especially as a parent of two daughters is that it turn the trope on its head - it is not the love of a prince that saves them, rather it is the love of family and each other. Elsa warms up a bit and lets people in, Anna chills out and lets Kristoff be her friend. It's about finding moderation in one's life, and embracing broader relationships rather than purely idealistically romantic ones.
If you loved Elsa's voice than you should really watch Rent! She is one of the main characters in the movie and all of her songs are absolutely amazing not to mention the movie itself as an incredibly powerful one!
As well as Wicked. There is nothing better than hearing Idina Menzel blast out “Defying Gravity.”
I have a 9 yr old daughter. This movie came out when she was a baby. As a result, I've seen this movie more times than any other movie ever made, more than even Lord of the Rings (my favorite movie). Had to watch it over and over and over again
😁 Very fun reaction and commentary! I have seen the movie multiple times and never realized how Anna was dressed “like a maid” while Elsa was more formally dressed as kids. It was nice to see someone liking the soundtrack and special effects too.
The message I first got when I first saw the movie was that you don’t need a man to save you😂Bc you know how most Disney princess movies it’s always the prince saving the princess but in this case Anna’s sister saved her Bc of their love for each other as siblings, also I learned to not keep your feelings all bottled up Bc when you let them out ALL at once things can go wrong but you have to realize there is always someone out there that cares about you and loves you and will do anything even risk their lives to support you like Anna did. Anna saved Elsa which was the greatest act of true love.☺️☺️
This movie always brings good memories. When it came out my kids were young and we used to sing along to this soundtrack at the top of our lungs… now they’re teenagers and my existence embarrasses tf out of them lol
You are the best movie reactor.
You understand the production, animation music and everything else without being a snob about it.
You are also funny as heck
Man I saw this in theaters during my college years for 3D Animation because the ice effects in the trailer amazed me. And after watching the movie, Elsa clicked in me an understanding of myself that I hadn't realized; my abuse had made me afraid to form connections because I expected people to hurt me back. And seeing Elsa have her super powers, being beautiful and a literal Queen but still doubt herself because she had hurt the person she loved more than anything is very special to me. It helped me take back control on my life.
Frozen 2 did something similar for me, so I look forward to you giving that a chance! Also I would recommend the two shorts, Frozen Fever & Olaf's Adventure, if you just want to see a few minor relationship details that happen in that lead to movie 2.
I missed frozen. Such a good movie. That castle!!!
The Shade of showing the failed Let it Go dress change reveal. You're always cracking me up!! 🤣
The first Disney movie that had a family member be the act of true love.It's always the guy who is the act of true love. This movie shows that family is the key.
damn. after the parents pass and shes older and asks "do you wanna build a snowman?" at the end of the song.
gets me every time 😪
🌞Good morning Mel.
It's 5:30 am in Japan. Such a nice way to start a day.
"An act of true love" doesn't need to be romantic, which was the whole point of subverting it. and I love that they prioritized the sisters' relationship over any romance.
Omg this is AMAZING, seriously - I was thinking yesterday that nobody really watches Frozen and wondered why xDD And now this!
I don’t think they where upset about her having powers. I think it’s because she almost killed her sister. Lmfao.
Elsa is the eldest there for the heir. Honestly I would assume her coronation would be on her 18th birthday or the equivalent of the time she becomes a legal adult in that compan country because their parents are already dead
I feel that the message may be not to hide your potential in fear of hurting someone else, but instead to practice and perfect it for yourself and everyone else. And that love can thaw a 'frozen' heart, I wish they utilized this one a bit more
Don’t worry I was a hater as well all these years and now my 5 year old is obsessed, I had to watch it with her and it’s not so bad lol
Definitely check out Frozen 2. It's devisive but the themes are much deeper.
Yes!
Frozen on Broadway was pretty amazing, the transition in "Let it Go" when she does the outfit change was so amazing, even my 3 year old was in awe lol
omg the constant pop up of kristoff saying im gonna tell him is just hilarious
11:58 this is true 😂😂 it makes no sense to want to arrest the queen, she is literally the queen, no one has power over her
So here's the neat backstory to this movie: The reason why Prince Hans' villain twist comes so late is because initially, he was supposed to be good and Elsa was actually supposed to be the villain. But then the songwriters penned "Let It Go" and Idina Menzel sang it and the creative team realized it was the key, and that it was way too powerful and inspirational for her to be a villain. So they rewrote the third act late in the game.
No wonder it's so dogshit
Carrot? I’m still freaking traumatized by watching my 4th grade friend let her dog drink water out of her cup, then drink it herself. She gave me the whole “dog’s mouths are cleaner than humans” spiel. HELL NONONO 🤢
lol if i were anna, i'd be like "you arent kissing me until you go brush your teeth, i'm not swapping spit with a reindeer."
My dog drinks out of my cups, I've shared an ice cream cone with him too. He's a tiny dog but still, grew up like this and see no issue.
Rewatching this knowing who the real villain is, they really did the red flags so well.
It is interesting how the greatest happiness we can get is from other people, but it can also cause our greatest sadness. A lot of people don't want to take that gamble anymore, so they shut themselves in.
I have a love/hate relationship with Frozen. I have a daughter that was 2 1/2 when this came out and well I’m sure you know how that went. Great movie but I’ve must’ve heard “Let It Go” God knows how many times. Disney on Ice,dolls,toys,Disney World,clothes etc it was CRAZY! However it was a great movie lol
SAME! She made us play out the song every time we watched it, but took all the singing parts herself 😅
Elsa is made queen because she’s the elder sister. Trust me, I’m British, I know how all this royalty bullshit works 😛
Yea and it's always been that way. The oldest sibling always become queen or king.
@@brazyfilmo3121 Unless they have a boy, then he’s automatically front of the queue, at least in Britain
@@ianp1986 In Sweden, they changed the succession so that the crown is inherited for the eldest child. The current king has three children, and the eldest (Victoria) becomes the ruler, regardless of gender. She has younger brother, Carl Philip, but he will not be the king.
@@suvijii841 Much better way of doing it
Omg I've been binging your reactions and I just have to say its finally nice to meet someone else who does not know how to just not make a snowman but how not to make a snowball. I'm right there with you!! Love your reactions!!!!
And if you thought "Let it go" was annoying; My generation grew up with "Hakuna Matata".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elsa was voiced by Broadway vet, Idina Menzel, who originated the roles of Maureen in Rent and Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Witch of the West) in Wicked. She also played Shelby, Rachel Berry's mom, on Glee
this is VERY loosely based on "The snow queen" (Hans Christian Anderson). until they heard the song 'Let it go' Elsa was going to be the villain. there's hints in the early trailers aswell.
I saw the northern lights in Iceland it was incredible but there's a few places you can see it.
the way I scream and start laughing so much when you edit yourself in a crowd 😭😭 it’s hilarious
The thing that annoyed me about this movie the most is that it overshadowed the (imo) much better movie that is Big Hero 6, that released around the same time; which remains one of my favorite animated films ever made.
I love Big Hero 6 but let’s be honest, it’s just the same Marvel movies they always make, just animated. Plus since it was already a comic there’s was nothing new or groundbreaking we saw there. Frozen was Disney’s new renaissance, with one of their beloved folktale throwbacks, now told in original, emotional ways that didn’t fall into their usual tropes. People take it for granted now but it was truly a cultural reset at the time which is why it was so hyped.
I have seen this movie for almost 100 times but I don’t remember Olaf sliding on the ice while they were rushing to back to the castle, that was so funny 😂
yyeeeeee!! i love frozen, but after watching a few times i think frozen 2 is even better
MellVerse: "You can't kill a queen!"
Well...
History has seen quite a few queens executed.
But...
Once Elsa was crowned queen, she became a "queen regnant", or reigning queen.
I did a brief internet search, but couldn't find any queen regnants that had been executed. The Queens I did find were either uncrowned (Lady Jane Gray), or a queen consort (Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard).
I'm not sure where Alexandra Feodorovna would fit in here, as she was an empress consort.
Man I was sort of the same way (a hater 😭) when this movie came out. I really had no interest in it because of all the hype, but then I just watched it one day when I was sad and in the mood for some Disney happiness, and when I tell you I absolutely bawled my eyes out during *do you wanna build a snowman* when their parents died and Anna was trying to connect with Elsa. That is just so real and so many siblings (and people in general) can relate to feeling so much grief but not being able to share and open up about it. And after that I just fell in love with this movie because it had so many amazing messages and themes that were, at the time, so much deeper than anything Disney had done before. I think people really forget how much this movie really broke the mold for Disney and opened up their animated stories in a whole new way. Frozen to me feels like the start of the new Disney renaissance era they are currently in, with their deep emotional storytelling, the same way the little mermaid saved Disney in the past. Groundbreaking (no pun intended lol) 🥶❄️
You should keep adding to the fear list on each video and it will be a funny gag that’s your fans will know and first viewers will question and slowly pick up
Frozen was the game changer in Disney animated industry.
21:45 To be fair, I'd be pretty upset if someone threw a ball of human flesh at me
Fixxer upper is unironically my favourite Disney song ever 🤣
I cried during the whole ice castle construction scene. The animation just absolutely moved me, little 17 (18?) year old me at the time.
Also my mom had guessed who the bad guy was right from the start of the movie. Her and my aunt spent their childhoods reading Harlequin romance novels, and the bad guys in them were, a lot of the time, “heirs with no chance of ascending to their own thrones or places of power in their family”, so they’d find somewhere to usurp their way to the top.
Ah yes the good ol' Harlequinn romance novels haha, I read so many of those, so did my sister.
Damn I was 13 when this movie came out💀
@@straight_up_geek_ think I was a high school junior when this came out, 16 years old - lord, I’m 25 now. 😂 second movie came out when I was student teaching in an elementary school for a college class. Time flies, man.
My biggest issue with Frozen is that the parents tried to protect Elsa but ended up secluding Anna away from everyone as well. How was that fair to Anna??!! 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾
Great reaction! Now watch Frozen 2! Answers lots of questions of why Elsa has powers, and what happened to the parents
BTW the castle scene when she creates that gave you chills took 9 months to animate!!!!
She and Anna are roughly the same age, but technically, Elsa is the oldest, and with no male heir (fan theories aside), she is being corronated as queen. Standard procedure, regarding royalty in any standard Disney flick. Btw, Anna wasn't about to crap herself, just explaining in her own way that she's anxiously awaiting the first contact with the outside world in at least a decade. No one was allowed to go in-and-out of the castle, so that Elsa would be isolated enough that she couldn't hurt anyone with her powers growing stronger every day.
Those fan theories are the worst and dumbest shit ever
Elsa is the oldest so she’s the next heir that’s how that works😂the eldest is usually always next in line
As popular as the song was, “let it go” never hit number one. I was honestly shocked when I found out.
Me yelling, "the ice just came here because of Elsa which is why it is only now difficult for Kristoff to sell!"
No… the “meanwhile on stage” took me out 😂😂
you are the best reactor, period.
love from Brazil
Fun fact: There is a theory that the parents did not die on sea, they stranded in Africa where they survived in the jungle and had a little baby boy - Tarzan, from the Disney movie of the same name.
That ”theory” was squashed and stomped into the ground by Frozen 2, so just drop it
lost my shit when they made olaf in the beginning and you immediately said "why'd y'all build probably the most stupid looking snowman" LMFAOOO i swear he looks so goofy. love him tho he is a comedic legend
Lol you and Billy Binges are so funny. You guys make every movie commentary hilarious. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elsa is played by Adelle Dazeem.
🤣🤣🤣 Ok Travlota
The whole point that a lot of people seem to miss with regards to "True Love" in this movie is that it actually has multiple forms that are equal in power to one another(romantic, familial, platonic/friendship there's also a 4th that is "goodwill towards fellow people that I believe they tried to portray in Raya but messed it up). Disney's had a history of basically pushing this whole "romantic love is superior/the be all end all" and the only "True Love" that conquers all....when it's not and never was. Only friendship can be argued as superior in any way *only* because it's literally the foundation of both true romantic and familial love when you really think about it. Especially since true family isn't about the blood you share but how you treat and be there for each other, and the most successful married couples often describe it as like being married to their best friend.
Basically Disney is trying to break away from that whole "romantic love is all you need" since it's not true, you definitely need more people in your circle/corner than just your SO. Especially so seeing as it's literally impossible for 1 person to do everything and therefore be your everything for you(which is just relay unhealthy, we're a social species that need *people* not just a single person though that is better than nothing).
The "Mell's Fears" list was freakin hilarious!
Elsa's powers are connected to her emotions.
Elsa is not only my favorite Disney princess, but my most favorite animated character ever, to the point I wrote a thesis about her!
ayy i also wrote a thesis about her! :D
Idina Menzel who does the voice of Elsa is fire. She was in Rent and was Elphaba the Wicked Witch on the musical Wicked. She is the best.
man anna at the start there lol, thats how i sleep, craziest bed head and a stack of pillow cases near my bed to clean each night LOL
In North America you can also can see the Northern Lights in Principal Skinner's kitchen.
You’re literally one of my favorite reactors! As soon as you post a video, I’m immediately clicking on it 😊. Please please please react to The Last Unicorn!
FYI Indina Menzel sang let it snow.
Top of the line editing skills. get it Mel
"You made of snow, you sensitive b****!" ROLLING!!
1:59 Auroras can also sometimes be found in Sweden
Elsa is the eldest if you guys don't know. The next in line for the throne is the eldest child to the youngest. Meaning anna is second in line of the throne. That's what I generally know about monarchy.
Walt lost his mother in an unfortunate carbon monoxide incident. He relived it through his movies from then on
not both his parents, just his mom, no clue of how his dad passed, but it was before her, which led to his guilt when she died, she was in his care basically.
@@UltimateGamerCC you're absolutely right. I had forgotten that part but yea he lost his mother to carbon monoxide not his dad. I'll correct it
@@pvtread5207 yup, hence why if you're in a Disney movie, you dont want to be the main character's mom, you'll end up 6 ft under quicker than you can say Matricide.
@@UltimateGamerCC hahahahaha, unless you're mufasa
@@pvtread5207 oop! fair point there, i guess Sarabi is the rare Disney mom that lives.
My mom lives in Montana. There are places in Montana you can actually view the Aurora Borealis. Because it’s so northern
Fun fact: Rapunzel is in this you can see her walking when Anna is singing in the pole light😊
