I wonder if Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez will write for any more Disney movies after this one.

I hope they do.

They might. You never know.

If FROZEN is a big hit with the movie AND the songs (with Let It Go being a possible front runner for the Oscars), then defientely! I'm actually hoping they're doing Moana after hearing their BEAUTIFUL music for Finding Nemo: The Musical That style (esepecially In the Big Blue World) would fit the Polyneasen theme perfectly.

Saw "Frozen," liked it a lot, but Disney, those giant eyes make your female characters look like space aliens.

My older sister and I saw Tangled in the theatres and we thought that Rapunzel's eyes were huge.

When it comes to Anna, it doesn't bother me as much.

The thing is, I don't think they're that much bigger than Ariel, Belle or Tiana's eyes. I think computer animation simply draws attention to the eyes in ways hand drawn did not.

The big eyes are not noticeable at all when you look at the hand drawn model sheets of Anna and Elsa.

Brief new footage in Anna and Elsa Mattel dolls commercial. (From the duet, I suspect.)

That's true.

I agree as well. The issue lies with the inherent difficulty of translating 2D character models into CG ones and not so much with the designs themselves.

Do you think the issue has been reduced with Frozen? I think it was much more prominent in Tangled. It's still there with Anna and Elsa, but I think the translation is working better here.

Yes, I actually do think it's been reduced. I think the reason for that is twofold. First, the animators themselves are more experienced now with these type of character designs and have learned how to "cheat" in certain angles and poses so the models don't look off-putting. Second, it lies with the designs themselves. Glen Keane tends to draw his girls with much larger eyes whereas Mark Henn draws them with slightly smaller, almond-shaped ones which are easier to control in CG animation. And since both of them did draw-overs on Tangled and Frozen respectively, their style affected even more the overall look of the characters.

I don't mind if they write songs for another Disney movie, but I hope they don´t completely replace Alan Menken in future animated musicals from the studio.

Another Frozen poster.

And I hope they don't go and water down his talent on the next film he's attached to. I really think a majority of the music in Tangled (besides I See the Light and the reprise of Mother Knows Best) could have been done way better.

Last night I read a spoilerific Frozen storybook at the grocery store and have to say I LOVE the story. That is all

Someone on IMDB found that same video but in better quality and the color tone is really good.

BIG SPOILER AHOY!

Elsa is singing to Anna and the snow has stopped in it's tracks and it might be set in the final part of the movie.

Q: There’s always cuts in movies like these. Were there any that were particularly painful?

Jennifer Lee: Oh yes. You really have to kill your darlings. There were at least a couple that couldn't make it. This lovely match girl, and this great, funny valet. They just couldn't make the cut. We used to have an army of snowmen at the palace, and that eventually felt like too much. They were wonderful characters, wonderful scenes. But in the end, they just didn't quite fit. The film is what it is, and we hope it’s great. But there’s always those “what-ifs” you have to drop along the way.

A match girl must have been a shout out to "The Little Match Girl" which Disney also made a short that stayed true to the original. Plus it was written by Anderson as well.

Well, that explains the army snowmen from last year's disappearence.

AND LET IT GO OMG. AMAZING!

What happened to that other verse? I guess The Past is the Past is an actual song?
