Elsa clearly superior.

So aloof, so let it go.

Damn.

HEY Waifu discussions are against the rules

Especially when the winner is clearly Anna.

Now with that being settled, what did you guys think of the animation itself? In the first half of the movie I could clearly see some shitty tweens and missing/poor textures in the background, especially the background characters, so I guess this studio had/still has a lot to learn.
It got pretty spectacular in the second half, though

Also, dat Mickey short

Wait wait wait. Back the fuck up.

Are you telling me Disney made an animated movie, here in the 21st century, that isn't a bag of rubber donkey dongs?

Ammy get out of your ass and go to the movies like right now

Disney sort of told Pixar to get fucked and started a proper studio again like in the Olden Days, except CGI

This. I mean, Tangled was fun and cute but nothing special, but Disney's movie animation studio is kicking the living shit out of Pixar's ass recently.

Despite whatever flaws the animation had the visuals were still A+. (Also I really like the clothing / hair designs for Anna and Elsa)

Anna is da bes

Whoah, Wreck-It-Ralph was Disney?

Man I need to pay attention to the studios when I watch these movies.

And Frozen was much better than Brave in all respects other than animation. Brave was ridiculously boring and the character designs were also boring.

(Also Elsa is would guiltily ship with jack frost/10 )

(Also also the animator's collection frozen dolls are really cute I need both Anna and Elsa but my wallet ;-;)

Haven't seen Brave.

I loved Tangled to bits though. The manipulative witch/mother villain was wonderful.

I couldn't help but wonder how she raised a kid for eighteen years and not feel a thing. Rapunzel seemed to accept the whole thing too easily, too.

Because 18 years is not very long for a really really really old witch kept young with magic flowers, and because she wasn't raising a child - she was raising a fountain of youth.

I found it incredibly lackuster, with a boring, mostly predictable plot (the ending had a great twist, though) and only one memorable song (guess which). Character design was probbaly the worst I've even seen from Disney, with completely uninspired looks for everyone. It's SPECIALLY bad for Elsa and Anna, who look like the lost twins of Rapunzel. Elsa's Ice Queen outfit was the only good design, imo. The backgrounds were likewise very "meh", nothing particularly interesting or eye-catching (other than Elsa's Ice Castle, which, like everything about Elsa, was gorgeous).

The only things that I feel that give this movie redeeming factors is the ending twists (
Hans being the villain and sisterly love breaking the curse
), Olaf (that snowman really grew on me) and Elsa. DAMN that queen is awesome. Her ice powers are incredible, and I generally like characters of the "dignified fa?ade/terrified of themselves inside" kind.  Anna is fine, but she's basically Rapunzel with shorter hair. They both have basically the same personality, quirks and mannerisms (bumbling spunky princess who talks very fast).

Overall, I'd say it was pretty damn weak, with some good moments that really don't hold the movie up as a whole. Eh well, another one to the pile of "great traditional stories that Disney diluted as much as possible".

...did I mention I really liked Elsa? I really liked Elsa. Best Disney Queen.

The twist wasn't really a twist at all, imo. I mean, the
finishing each other's...sandwiches!
part was a dead giveaway. Even my little sister expected it.

Eh lol yeah the twist was barely a twist at all and pretty much obvious from the beginning of the film. And frankly if you ever went to see a Disney movie expecting a super-original plot rather than a crazy cute fantasy tale with corny songs and lots of colors boy you're doing it wrong :derp:

How is that line that can be perfectly taken as a simple joke (and I'm pretty sure it IS just that) foreshadowing at all? =P Dude acted exactly like every other Disney prince. He displayed no villanious traits whatsoever until the end.

. And frankly if you ever went to see a Disney movie expecting a super-original plot rather than a crazy cute fantasy tale with corny songs and lots of colors boy you're doing it wrong :derp:
It didn't have to be super special incredible original (although hey, I don't know why it'd be wrong to expect something different from a company that is known for their creativity and innovation (or at least, was known for that)), it just had to be interesting. Which, for the most part, it wasn't. Specially the visuals, which were boring as fuck (except for Elsa making her ice castle. That was awesome).

but hey, ~opinions~ :derp:

All I'm saying is that plenty of people were rubbed in the wrong way by
Hans
. I was spoiled, so I don't count, but about half the people I know saw it coming. Lots of his actions were really suspect.

I only have one message to Disney after seeing Frozen and how successful it is.

There's a whoooole lot of "messages" I'd personally love to give Disney. Adding "give us lesbians" to the list sounds perfectly reasonable.

I'm totally cool with lesbian princesses
