Frozen

There is a lot of things that we probably don't agree on, but we might be able to agree on this one: FROZEN IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATED MOVIES!
I could repeat that sentence over and over again! What is not to like? The incredibly addicting and amazing soundtrack, the wonderful imagery and animation, the interesting story, the biggest plotwist in children movie, the breaking of stereotypes, or the relatable characters?

The Soundtrack
Once in a creative writing class I wrote a paragraph containing the sentence "For the first time in forever, I could hear it loud and clear." I know, I know. You, just like everyone in that room who heard me read that sentence started singing inside your brain the song "For the First time in Forever" from the Frozen movie. You cannot say that the soundtrack is not addictive! Also, the fact that we all know the song by heart and we can sing it clearly means that it is also an amazing soundtrack.

The Story
Girls usually love a story about a princess and boys usually don't. WAIT, WHAT?! Does this mean that I am a girl (I am pretty sure that I am not!) So, what went wrong (I mean, good) here? Because if that first sentence is usually true I would consider myself and all my male childhood friends as girls because we actually all loved Frozen!
What I think went good in Frozen is that the movie is that it more than a movie about a princess. It is a movie about a queen who struggles with her inner self (like all humans do) and doesn't see the collateral damage she causes by just letting go. (By the way, I did it again... You must be singing Let It Go now.)

The Characters
As I've said before, I love complex characters and this movie is filled with them. Hans is the prince of your dream, Elsa is the queen with a dangerous secret that is killing her, and Anna is relatable friendly character that wants to help. But, it doesn't stop there. The characters cannot be defined in just one sentence, because they are way more complicated than that. Hans results to be the villain of the story who wants to rule Arandale, but yet he is the one who is kind enough to give free blankets to everyone in Arandale without thinking of economical repercussions. Elsa is the queen whose inner dark magic is a villain of the story, but she is the character we all love and support. Anna is just Anna. There is not much to say here because she is just amazing!

The Meaning of True Love
Another small fact that makes this movie stand out (I have to note that this fact is also present in Maleficent) is that love is also present in a family! Frozen recognizes that an act of true love can be done by the people that are closest to us and that love us the most: our family. And this is a big change in the meaning of true love in Disney movies. We passed from a true loves kiss to an act of true love, and this only makes the movie more complex and interesting! (And amazing!!!)


The Stereotypes
This movie breaks with a lot of stereotypes like villains are ugly. This is more than clear when Hans, the handsome prince of Anna's dream, has evil plans for the royal family of Arandale.

So, what is not to like?
