to have important questions regarding Frozen?

[Brittapieandchips]

My main one being - how do they know it is an eternal winter when it seems to have lasted about five minutes?

Also (sorry, very inappropiate) - if Elsa ever gets a boyfriend/girlfriend, and she gets excited, will she turn them into ice?

How does she know how to build the castle if she has spent all that time trying not to use her powers?

What is she planning to eat in her castle?

And all of these!!

I prefer Tangled anyway.

runs away from the backlash

Ha, I've not seen it, but my kids have and they're always singing the songs. Not sure if this is allowed or not (MP3 links), but my 13yo DD recorded the 'build a snowman' song for her younger sister's ipod:

New question, put to me by the DDs today:

Why does Elsa not slip on the ice staircase when she is running up it, when she is clearly capable of slipping on ice because that is how she ended up freezing Anna's head as a child?

Why is Oaken the only one with a slightly swedish-norwegian accent?

If ice is really cold, it's not slippy. Ice is slippy when it's warm enough that the pressure of your feet on it is enough to melt a thin layer under them; you're slipping on a thin film of water.

Good luck explaining Boyle's Law and how it applies to the coefficient of friction in solid dihydrogen monoxide, though.

How did Elsa have her magical powers in the first place when everyone else was non-magic? Was it something to do with the trolls?

my 4 dcs all love this film.

bloody phone! i have been subjected to them singing all the songs (but especially let it go snd do you want to build a snowman) and acting the whole thing out ever since they saw it. 4yo dd thinks she IS Elsa. i agree elsa is very like Elphaba. dh told me its the first disney film to show an act of true love that isnt a true loves kiss. and i like the sisters relationship.

Actually I don't get why people keep questioning why Elsa has powers, she just does. Just as Elphaba just has powers etc.

Elsa has fantastic control of, and on, the ice. She slipped when playing with Anna because Anna was jumping so high and so quickly that Elsa feared she would hurt herself. It was Elsa's fear that caused her to lose control.

This is also why Elsa manages to get so far away on the evening of the coronation. She is at one with the elements that night which enable her to scale the north contain so quickly.

Anna, otoh, does not have this ability. She is clumsy where Elsa is graceful, she feels the cold where Elsa admits 'the cold never bothered me anyway'. We see Anna lose her horse and slip into the stream becoming so cold that even her dress freezes.

Also, when Elsa is in control, happy and unafraid the ice is smooth and shiny. When she is angry the ice becomes brittle, spikey and sharp. When Elsa is afraid she is at her most dangerous; this is when she loses control. At this point the ice becomes hoary, dull and it shifts.

I guess it's the animated representation of pathetic fallacy.

North contain = north mountain
