Hello! I'm new to the forum. I've been following mainly the threads about new Disney and Pixar films for more than 3 years now, since I discovered that most of the news in the blogs about Disney that I was following came from here.
I'm from Spain and I find it difficult to write in English, so I don't think I will post very frequently. But I finally decided to join the forum to have the opportunity to share sometimes things that I find, ask something I want to know, etc. And to be able to talk with other Disney fans. First of all, I have to thank all of you for the things you share with the rest of the fans, especially Sotiris, I don't know how you manage to find all the stuff you bring to the forum. But you are all fantastic and I really enjoy your discussions as well.
One small thing that I think hasn't been mentioned here:
Around the same time when The Rotoscopers were uninvited to a test screening of Frozen, I read a comment in a blog from someone who had seen a work in progress version of a new Disney film. He couldn't tell the title of the film, but he said that if Tangled is the equivalent to The Little Mermaid in this new golden era of Disney Animation, the film he saw would be the equivalent to Beauty and the Beast.
Well, I think there is no doubt that he was talking about Frozen. And although it's only the opinion of one person, it's a very positive one.
Personally, I think it will be a good movie, but I’m still a bit disappointed that they didn’t make a more faithful adaptation to the Hans Christian Andersen story. I think it could have been a different kind of fairytale movie for Disney. Now it has princesses, the typical young couple and a romance (I suppose, though I haven’t read the latest spoilers) like in every past Disney film based in a fairytale.
Particularly, I would have loved the main characters to be kids like in the original, because one thing that impressed me from the book is not only that Gerda embarks on that journey to save her friend alone, but that she faces that big adventure as a little girl. And the love she and Kai share as children is a more innocent kind of love.
But the story they have created is interesting too, and I understand that the book was very difficult to adapt, and that in choosing to centre on the Snow Queen character, they had to build the story around her and make many changes as a result.
Sorry for such a long post
and for all the mistakes I could have made, I hope that you've been able to understand what I have written.
Bless her
Where was that?
