one of Disney's most realistic leading ladies
The Characters
Let's start off with the most important thing to me, the characters. A movie's plot can be terrible, but if I'm with a great character during that time, I can endure it, and Frozen's characters definitely don't disappoint.
Anna: I can definitely see the similarities between Anna and Rapunzel; both have big highs, and low lows (more so with Rapunzel), and both are crazy (more so with Anna) Although I feel that Anna is a pretty original character. She's very organic, and is probably one of the most human characters Дисней has ever produced; she has quirks, like for example always sliding around the замок in her socks, and she is awkward and lovable. At times annoying, she can be too much, but I Любовь her spunk and attitude.
Elsa: Elsa seems to be the звезда of the show, and it's obvious why. Дисней has never created a character quite like her, and seeing her perspective was a very unique way of looking at things. Ты can't help but feel for Elsa in Do Ты Want To Build A Snowman when Ты see her on the other side in complete snow, obviously so beyond hurt and alone. She's just such a tragic character that really deserved her happy ending. The thing I Любовь about the two main leads is how well they compliment each other, and how much I relate to both of them. Anna is one extreme of me; crazy, awkward, and unrefined. We both desperately wish for more, and are often disappointed, while Elsa is the other extreme of me. The anti-social, alone part of me that doesn't wish to be around anyone. I think it's nice how Дисней included a character for both personality types.
Kristoff: Kristoff in my opinion is the best "prince" Дисней has ever created. It feels strange calling him a prince because he seems as far from it as possible. He's not conventionally handsome, he's definitely unrefined, he's arguably crazy, and apparently he smells AND picks his nose. Woo, that's a lot. I Любовь how Дисней has finally created a totally new character. I don't think I've seen a Kristoff character ever, and it's so refreshing. He's determined, caring, but also a large grump. I was actually going into the movie expecting him to be еще of a gentleman, and I was surprised to see how much of a grump they made him. It's nice to see Дисней venture into new personality types.
Hans: Ahh, Hans. Where do I begin? He is arguably the best plot twist Дисней ever had, and I absolutely Любовь the scene where he confesses he doesn't Любовь Anna. That was the perfect time for a Любовь Is An Open Door (Reprise) with villain Hans in action, but Дисней didn't do it...alas we expect Hans to be a sweet, classic prince, and he plays the part great, but in the end it comes too sudden, with no signs coming of it. Also, he's definitely not the smartest villain Disney's ever come up with, but alas the plot twist just makes me like him a lot!
Olaf: Olaf is great. His comedy is actually pretty funny, not laugh out loud, but better than Рапунцель - Запутанная история comedy. Mostly thanks to the amazing Josh Gad, who delivers EXCELLENT voice work for him! He's just such a fun character, even if a bit useless (though it's clear he does do things, i.e. points out the staircase, finds Anna, adds comedic relief so the film isn't too tense) Who could've been a terribly annoying presence actually brought some сердце to the screen, and I'm really glad Дисней did that. OH AND I Любовь HOW HE CALLS KRISTOFF SVEN THE ENTIRE TIME BECAUSE THAT SCENE WITH THE DONKEY AND OH MY GOSH.
Sven: Personally I loved Sven! New Избранное sidekick, not even joking. I didn't see the whole dog thing, just because he does stuff doesn't associate him as a dog! I Любовь how he rolls his eyes at Kristoff's incompetence, and I Любовь how they made him not talk. He was just a great character in my opinion, and I enjoyed him a lot еще than Maximus.
Oaken: OAKEN IS MY LIFE. Erm, excuse me. I'm sorry, but I just loved Oaken. First of all, HE HAD A NORWEGIAN ACCENT, well, not really, but at least Дисней tried, and anyone on this club that knows me well enough knows how much I'd Любовь that. His dialogue was great, and although he was only in one scene I really enjoyed him!
Duke of Weselton: Ehh, the only character I didn't really like. They tried to make him funny and it didn't work in my opinion, like idk his crazy dance moves were just annoying in my opinion, and he didn't add much except say dramatic catch phrases. He was just unnecessary and only put in to take the villain attention away from Hans in advertising.
The Soundtrack: I know that not all of Ты Любовь the soundtrack, but I Любовь it soooo much! I'll go song by song and say how I feel, but it'll pretty much just me gushing over how good it is.
Холодное сердце Heart: I Любовь this song! It's very traditional and similar to the songs at the beginning of Pocahontas and The Little Mermaid. The Анимация in this song is beautiful, and I Любовь watching baby Kristoff and Sven!
Do Ты Want To Build A Snowman?: Another amazing song. It's so heartbreaking, especially towards the end, and Anna's vocals at the end are absolutely beautiful. I Любовь when we get to see Elsa on the other side and it's completely covered with snow and ice; it's just so sad.
For The First Time In Forever: This song is really energetic and fun. I Любовь how Anna finally gets to be free, but it turns heartbreaking when Ты get to Elsa and her lyrics, since all she wants is for this день to be over.
Любовь Is An Open Door: IS THIS NOT THE SWEETEST THING OF ALL TIME или WHAT. Even though it's горький sweet, since Ты know it's with Hans and all, but still. I Любовь how they bump into each other, and how they hide together, and ugh! They're just great, and the song is really catchy. Definitely a Избранное of mine from the soundtrack.
Let It Go: The power song on the soundtrack, Let it Go is a great song. The lyrics are very empowering and it's nice to see Elsa finally, well, let it go. The Анимация is great, and the scene is just powerful all around. Though, I feel it may be hyped a bit too high. It's great and all, but I've always enjoyed the еще underrated songs more.
Reindeer Are Better Than People: A short song sung by Kristoff, I though it was great! It's my least Избранное from the soundtrack, but only because it's so short. I Любовь the relationship Kristoff has with Sven, and watching him sing for Sven was great.
In Summer: This song was great! The Анимация was simplistic, but I'm pretty sure that was what the animators were going for, and, well, JOSH GAD. He literally makes Olaf, him and Olaf are one. I Любовь the end note, and в общем и целом, общая it's just a nice, lighthearted song.
For The First Time In Forever (Reprise): My personal Избранное from the soundtrack, I find this song amazing. The beginning is ok, but when Anna and Elsa both start Пение at the same time that's when it gets amazing. It's just so powerful and watching the blizzard start to form and Elsa's note at the end. I just Любовь this song.
Fixer Upper: The trolls are me, I am the trolls. I absolutely Любовь the scene before this where Kristoff tries to put his arms around Anna, and they think his family is rocks, and the song definitely doesn't disappoint. I think that it's great that Дисней found a way to give us a couple song, but in a new way. It would be unnatural for Kristoff and Anna to sing to each other; their relationship just doesn't work that way, so it was nice that we still got something. AND BY THE WAY I DON'T SEE NO RING! Best. Line. Ever.
The Plot
As I've already said, plot isn't the most important thing to me, but of course it's still an important part. The plot is rushed, and many scenes could've been much longer. We should've seen еще of Elsa, but I think that we did get to see a lot actually. All of the Kristoff and Anna scenes were very humorous, and then whenever we saw Elsa it was heartbreaking, which added nice contrast. All and all, the plot had it's weak points, but was action packed, funny, and heartwarming. Yeah....not very much to say about plot..
Conclusion
In conclusion, Холодное сердце was great. Ten out of ten for me, and a new Дисней classic in my opinion. It was reminiscent of a Dreamworks movie, but the great characters and emotion of the movie save it for me. Anna is a great, realistic character, Elsa is unique and heartbreaking, Kristoff is really fun and unique as well, and all the other supporting characters were great as well. The soundtrack and Анимация are also extremely beautiful. I Любовь how Elsa's ice powers change color and form due to her emotion. When she's scared, they're yellow, angry, red. All of the details of this movie, Anna носок sliding, Olaf calling Kristoff Sven make the movie for me, and I definitely can't wait to watch it again! :)
Thanks for Чтение everyone. I hope Ты all enjoyed. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm lazy and have an 8 page paper I should be working on, among other things XD
