Welcome back to Musings of an Arthritic Artist!
Today I'm going to be talking about Disney's Frozen and Frozen II, and I'm going to be going into the reasons why I love this movie.
There will be spoilers for both movies, so if you haven't seen it I wouldn't recommend reading this unless you don't care watching the movie.
Let's get into the post!
The Frozen franchise is my favorite Disney princess franchise, for multiple reasons.
When it first came out, Frozen got a lot of hate, mostly because Let It Go was played everywhere by children.
Many people were also claiming that it was the first Disney movie to be about sisters. It isn't. Lilo and Stitch's plot centered around Nani and Lilo, two sisters. Many were also claiming that it was the first Disney princess movie to not have the plot revolve around a romantic love between two characters, which is also false. Mulan is technically a Disney princess, despite never being born a princess nor marrying into royalty. While she has a love interest, it's not the focus of the film.
Also, Brave came out one year before Frozen did and that movie didn't have a love interest at all as Merida was adamantly against being won.
Others were also saying that Frozen was the first movie to have a queen, which isn't true either as Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a queen. That movie came out in 2001, twelve years before Frozen.
However, Frozen is the first Disney princess movie released in theaters that shows the undying love between sisters, and it shows that the love between sisters can be just as strong as romantic love, if not more. While Cinderella III: A Twist in Time had a good ending where Anastasia and Cinderella grew a sisterly bond, that movie often flies under the radar as it was a direct-to-video movie.
Ariel has sisters, but she doesn't seem remotely close to any of them. Their relationship to Ariel is really only shown in The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning.
I relate greatly to Anna and Elsa's relationship.
