I hate the film Frozen

I've not yet met anyone (except my OH) who doesn't love this film, but I found it dull, the characters were infuriating/pathetic and it was just too "princessy" for me. AIBU?

I didn't like it either. Not sure why.

TheAmazingChandler · 12/06/2014 16:37

I didn't like it. I didn't like the way the little one was mooning about outside the big ones bedroom door for 20 years. It was a bit dull.

HarpyFishwifeTwat · 12/06/2014 16:38

Haven't seen it yet but I don't really like Let it Go. All a bit over the top for me.

KittyMcAllister · 12/06/2014 16:38

Agree! I do not get the hype. And I think it panders to, rather than debunks, the whole "princessy" stereotype.

BrianTheMole · 12/06/2014 16:39

I liked it.

Gileswithachainsaw · 12/06/2014 16:39

I don't like that she "pairs off" to et married so quick then runs off with another man.

Disney needs to stop marrying off leads. People can be happy on their own. Princes don't need wives and vice versa

sonlypuppyfat · 12/06/2014 16:41

Whats the matter with you people were you never little and just enjoy something without writing an essay on it.

NickiFury · 12/06/2014 16:42

She doesn't pair off though, she changes her mind and goes off with someone else (much like RL Grin) I found it refreshing. In the end the main focus is on the sister relationship not Sven/Anna, the horrible man is punished and Elsa doesn't end up with anyone.

Gileswithachainsaw · 12/06/2014 16:43

:o

I've always picked apart things that don't make sense in fils even when I was little.

AnnaLegovah · 12/06/2014 16:44

I always feel like I'm alone when I say I don't like it, everyone I know seems to love it. DD (3) watched it once and hasnt asked to watch it again.

The ending is a bit out of place - one minute its all dead parents, screaming from mountains and freezing kingdom, next they're ice skating. I was a bit 'is this it?' although I dont know what I expected. Confused

Gileswithachainsaw · 12/06/2014 16:45

I like finding nemo better

Yama · 12/06/2014 16:45

I don't mind the film. What I do mind though is that at some point every fecking day I have one of the songs as an earworm.

My kids play the cd over and over again. Arghh!

lougle · 12/06/2014 16:45

I usually hate animations but I thought they did a brilliant job, tbh. I loved every bit of it. Let it go is quite profound if you think of the expectations on a princess. It was all really touching.

mollypup · 12/06/2014 16:46

I have only seen the first 40 minutes of Frozen but definitely prefer Tangled so far!

CarCiKoTab · 12/06/2014 16:51

I quite enjoyed it but I agree with mollypup Tangled is definitely preferred.

EyelinerQueen · 12/06/2014 16:52

It's utter crap.

Nothing happens. What little there is by way of a plot is riddled with holes.

The characters are lazy and one dimensional. The comedy sidekick (a Disney staple) isn't even funny.

The fact that it's being heralded as some remarkable feminist breakthrough for Disney is laughable. It still fulfills all the usual Disney clichés just in a less obvious way.

Not a fan.

I'm feeling slightly better Smile

I don't mind animation on the whole, but would much rather watch something like Finding Nemo, Despicable Me, Monsters Inc/University. They all seem to work on a number of levels, but Frozen (to me) was just a couple of pathetic girls not dealing with their problems (maybe a bit harsh!) - the only redeeming feature was that "true love" was sisterly love rather than your typical Disney romance.

I love it and am likely to watch it again tonight while DP is watching the football Blush

Idontseeanyicegiants · 12/06/2014 16:59

YANBU. I much prefer Tangled, as does DD1.

TurtleyAmazing · 12/06/2014 17:03

The snowman was brilliant.
The fact they highlighted the dangers of trusting someone who is essentially a stranger was a refreshing change to 'marriage at first sight' type disney films.

other than that i don't understand the kerfuffle.

TulipOHare · 12/06/2014 17:14

I was underwhelmed on first viewing, but it's grown on me. Moving and funny. And the sheer drama of the Let It Go moment appeals to my inner comic-book-reading teenager.

Apparently when the film was first mooted, Elsa was to be the villain of the piece. Don't know the ins and outs but I love that notion, as hers really is a classic supervillain origin story. This is allegedly also why Hans seems like a pretty decent guy for much of the film, before doing an abrupt face heel turn .

BolshierAyraStark · 12/06/2014 17:34

I like it, DD & DS love it.

Virgolia · 12/06/2014 17:37

I don't like that she "pairs off" to et married so quick then runs off with another man

I liked this part, because it sort of took the piss out of other Disney films because she thought the first prince she set her eyes on was her true love (like other ones)

mypussyiscalledCaramel · 12/06/2014 17:38

I watched it once and was underwhelmed, it ended too abruptly.

Unfortunately my DS8 loves it and basically knows all the songs off by heart, he even pleaded with me to let him watch it at his school film club.

Apparently ALL the kids were singing along.

Tangled is definitely better.

SuchSweetSorrow · 12/06/2014 17:44

I love 'let it go' and often prance around the house singing it by myself with my 3 year olds.

Saying that, I do prefer Tangled overall.
