The Good of Frozen
The world has just seen such a beloved company make such big marks in what they do best. Frozen has been one of the most searched and bought album on ITunes since it came to theatres last November. Disney being one of the most popular and most beloved companies for centuries, Mr. Walt Disney has made a huge impact on the world just as he had wanted, I'm sure he is looking down at us with a big fat grin across his face. Not only was he a genius but today, his accomplishments are worth about $4.8 million as of 2012 which has mostly likely doubled to $6 million, especially after Frozen's massive earnings. As Disney fans alike came rushing in, it would create a new fandom of Frozen fans which has added to the hundreds of fandoms all across the grid. But we knew It was gonna be big, right? Not only was this movie awesome in Disney Movie-Goers eyes, it was even bigger in critics. Ends up, this movie may be Disney's biggest of the year. 

The Music: 
Disney is a massive part of the music industry and it just keeps impacting people through the years. Frozen is no exception, being on ITunes Top List of Albums for months!

 - Let It Go 
Fan-Favorite 
 - Do You Wanna Build A Snowman? 

My Review: 
I have waited months to see this movie and when I did, I loved it just as much as everyone else. This movie was mystifying and beautiful with its ice magic. Olaf was absolutely adorable and full of the fun we all love about Disney movies. The music was fantastic and catchy-- as usual! But the part I loved the most was all about Elsa and Anna. Not only does it remind me of sibling love but how great a story can be with it. There was just too much of this movie to love and I could go on forever but it is defiantly a fan-fave that no one will forget. 
I rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars 

Spotlights: 


- Posing with Paint 
When Anna was singing this part of First Time In Forever, I absolutely loved how it showed her joy side by "playing with the portraits" upon the wall. Not only would this be fun to do in real life but who seriously has portraits that big? Gotta love Disney's genius when it comes to objects. Keep up the good work! 


- Let It Go Scene
Ok this is a huge scene in everyone's eyes so I have got to share it. Not only was this scene was visually stunning, it also has a reason behind it. It shows Elsa's feelings very hardcore and creates a world where she is free which I loved. Who doesn't have their own quiet place? Elsa has obviously found hers in this scene and that is what made it so great. Of course, the song would make it better nested among its quota and being the most popular song of all, it has defiantly made the statement it was meant to. 


-Anna Meeting Kristoff and Sven
Don't know about you but the moment Kristoff walked through that door covered  in snow, Anna had a instant connection with him. It would become more obvious in the bobsled as they'd meet eye to eye. Gotta love a romance you know will happen even before it does! Not only were they a great match but a unique one at that. But we all know a Disney movie is not a Disney movie without a love connection somewhere. This one is one of few I want to see more of in the future.


- Introducing Olaf
Being one of the most loved characters in the movie, Olaf is a snowman with huge meaning behind him. Although it took Anna a little longer to realize what he meant, it never stopped her to get to know him. He is a hug-loving sweetheart who knows what love means. This character is a big influence on the movie despite what he is and why in the world he loves summertime. I would give him a hug, wouldn't you? 


- The End that Unfroze
This hug was the one that saved Anna's life. It was also the scene that unfroze the whole kingdom. When Elsa realized what she has done, everything was about to change. Once the world returned to summer, it became a better place. But the love between Elsa and Anna was the answer to it all in the end. Just proves that love is powerful and we can't survive without it. 

Fun Facts: 

Elsa the Ice Queen
1) Elsa is the second Disney queen with powers, Rapunzel being the first

Behind the Tale
Frozen was based on a fairy tale called: The Snow Queen which was pretty dark that included talking ravens and a woman they meet who is known for witchcraft 

Where We From? 
The movie was either based on Poland or  Hungarian which was based on the Vikings and Sweden. This explains the bright colors and animal furs

Bring Me A Reindeer
Walt Disney Studios brought in a real reindeer to help with their design of Sven. They did the same for Lion King, bringing in actual adult lions and cubs
