"Frozen": let it go and go see it

"Frozen" follows the story of a young girl with a hunger for adventure; it sounds typical enough of Disney movies, but this new film is one of the best princess features yet.After her sister Elsa creates off an eternal winter, Princess Anna of Arandelle — voiced by Kristin Bell — must journey through the snow filled mountains with ice-salesman Kristoff — voiced by Jonathan Groff — and his reindeer Sven to save her kingdom.One of the many reasons to see "Frozen" is the many amazing musical numbers throughout the movie composed by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez and composed by Christophe Beck. "Let it Go," sung by the Tony Award winning Idina Menzel, was nominated for Best Original Song at the 71st Annual Golden Globes. The music of the film spans from a Norwegian spiritual "Vuelie" to a satirical solo about a snowman who wants to feel the warmth of the summer sun, "In Summer," sung by Josh Gad.Disney ultimately throws out its normal themes in "Frozen." The spell of eternal winter is broken by the love of two sisters, instead of by the expected and cliché "true love's first kiss." The princess's love interest is a rugged merchant whose best friend is a reindeer and lives with rock-trolls in the mountains, rather than a charming prince. The humor in the film is subtle, rather than the straightforward comedy that we often see."Frozen" is one of Disney's most successful movies in the last ten years, bringing in a total gross of $319.8 million, and it has recently been announced that it will be going on Broadway as a musical production.Some have referred to the movie as giving off a feminist ideal, as the movie centers around two very strong female characters, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. It gives a changes the dynamic of the film and takes it in a different direction then you'd expect. "Frozen" has well-rounded and strong female characters, rather than the feeble or timid roles we've seen in the last few years, and this is a change that propels Disney into a more modern world.
