Re: Frozen reviews

[kryptoncat]

Yeah, I especially hate that they cut and replaced most of the characters. The robber girl would have been so cool on the big screen. Is there anything in it that's still based on the Snow Queen anymore, besides Elsa having ice powers?

This Russian adaptation that came out last year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen_%282012_film%29, looks a lot more faithful, but I don't know if it's any good.

I'm probably not going to see Frozen unless I need to take a kid to the theaters. Don't fix what ain't broken, Disney!

Condemning a animated Disney movie for inaccuracy to the source is kinda condemning... I dunno most of them?

Re: Frozen reviews

You can argue it both ways, but most Disney movies have at least a superficial similarity to the source material in the plot and characters. As far as I'm aware, the only similarity between Frozen and The Snow Queen is that there is a character in both known as the Snow Queen - nothing else.

Eh, depends really. Disney actually takes most of their fantasy material from the Victorian "re-edit" of the original fairy tales so how much is actually similar is...a little debatable, particularly where some of the newer fare is concerned.

Ah, but most Disney movies based on fairy tales do stick with the source material! The violence is just toned down a lot, like in Cinderella and The Little Mermaid.

Movies like Snow White and Tangled came from very short fairy tales that would need a lot of spicing up to be made into a feature length movie. And most of these don't deviate from the original plot too much.

Some movies have greatly deviated from their source material, like The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm pretty okay with this, since the book is not suitable material for a kid's film, anyway. Other books that have been Disney-fied, like Beauty and the Beast, did not deviate from their source material to the degree which Frozen has deviated from The Snow Queen.

The Snow Queen is not a simple fairy tale, it's several chapters long. The original story is very suitable for a kid's flick. Why did they need to change so much?

As a side note, I am really disappointed that Disney decided to change the cast from mostly female characters to two female characters. This post explains it better than I can: http://thefeministfangirl.tumblr.com/post/54520561695/reasons-why-im-not-supporting-disneys-frozen

Yes, you can't have people cutting of parts of their feet to fit a shoe, make them dissolve into sea foam in the end or have them dance until they die in whit-hot iron shoes. You also can't have people fall into thorns, poke their eyes out and wander the land as a beggar. But that doesn't mean you have to turn a lot of the plot into bad slapstick and always, always add fucking annoying talking animals or other silly sidekicks. And what they did to the pretty feminist setup of the Snow Queen is inexcusable.
