Frozen: Part V

[tomakpo]

I can't believe they didn't include anything about the voices. I need to see Idina Menzel singing Let It Go live. Like, the FULL song.

Here's an interesting thing that I caught on:

"The heart is not so easily changed. But, the head can be persuaded"

What if they healed Anna's head by tricking her mind? It makes sense.. You trick the head by making it believe that the magic never existed, thus nothing is wrong.... :/ just a theory.

Wasn't that obvious to you? With the sentence and the montage?

I didn't focus a lot on that line, even though it's one of my favorites. I always thought it was just Magic.....
But tricking the brain occurred to me a while ago and I never gave thought to it till yesterday. :/

From boxofficeguru.com:

Toon juggernaut, and double Oscar nominee, Frozen enjoyed great stamina again dipping only 23% to an estimated $9M in its ninth weekend of wide release boosting the remarkable domestic haul up to $347.8M. Next weekend, Disney will replace over 1,000 of the runs with a new sing-along version of the popular film in hopes of generating even more repeat business.

Frozen now sits at number 27 on the list of all-time domestic blockbusters just two spots behind last year's sensation Despicable Me 2 which had the added advantage of being a sequel playing in summer when kids were out of school. The snow sisters will surpass the Minions in a couple of weeks to steal away the animated box office crown for 2013. Frozen also zoomed past the $800M global mark this weekend with a worldwide tally of $810.3M and counting. With China and Japan still to open, breaking the billion dollar mark is looking more and more likely.

^ beat me to it, by a few seconds, anyway, what I was about to post:

Meanwhile, Frozen has blown past $800 million worldwide.

It has a good $80 million left from current markets and after that it's up to China and Japan to come through. Right now I'd say it has a 75% chance of crossing $1 billion.

It's already the #1 all time Disney animated release in Denmark and South Korea, with records broken left and right in almost every single other country around the globe.

$1 billion WW is a real possibility as I'm expecting Frozen to breakout in Japan. China is the wildcard. Musicals and animation as a whole aren't that big but I'm not counting it out since it has surprised us throughout its run since day 1.

I'd be very happy if the movie made that money in the end of the worldwide run.

I hope somehow that Hayao Miyazaki saw the movie because it was actually the Soviet era animated adaption of the Snow Queen that got him interested in animation. I just want him to see Disney doing a work inspired by that same tale. Plus being I think he would like some of the feminist themes in the movie because he has actually been noted to be a feminist.

I also wonder if Japanese fans will compare Elsa to a yuki-onna which is a snow woman in Japanese mythology. You know if they had of adapted Frozen to another culture I think it would have been Japan mainly because they could have made the Snow Queen into a yuki onna and those creatures have been known to either be good or bad depending on the myth. Actually come to think of it all of the elements of the original story could have translated well into Feudal Japan. Although you still run into the problem of pacing and how to make character of the Snow Queen relatable. I also could see them trading out the Lapp woman from the original tale for a woman from the Ainu and make the robbers and little Robber girl into a group of ronin samurai. Also the trolls would have to be oni instead.

On that tangent, I really want to see The Tale of Princess Kaguya, based on the Japanese folktale of the same name. The part I take note in the trailer is where Kaguya bolts through the doors and runs away; it reminds me of Elsa's running into the mountain, except much more determined. And from what I read, Kaguya becomes a beautiful woman who fights an inner battle between being a princess and being what she wants.

Of course I'd want to compare Frozen to TPK.

I've finally got round to listening to the score....and can I just say, 'Royal Persuit' is one of my favourite peices of music of all time, let alone a Disney score.

The strings and horn, is it? Make the peice absolutely stunning; both epic and heartbreaking when you listen to it in relation to the scene in the film.

Is it just me that fangirls over it, or has anyone else picked track 18 out amongst the score?

Sorcery, Royal Pursuit, We Were So Close, Summit Seige, Whiteout, and The Great Thaw are my favorites from Christophe Beck's score.

I like, emphasis on like, royal persuit, but what I love the most about it is the transition to "let it go". I think it's absolutely beautiful.
As for me:

Coronation day
Sorcery
Marshmallow Attack!
Conceal, don't feel (last part is haunting beautiful)
Summit siege
Return to arandelle
Whiteout

Here is an interview that has Jennifer Lee discussing the movie's divisive twist. Spoilers, of course.

Now that a few people have seen the movie, let's discuss the challenge of turning this story upside down with the two surprise twists at the end.

Jennifer Lee: I always thought we knew that's how it was going to be, but when I looked back at our notes, we didn't know that [the prince] was going to turn so dark for a while. And then it really felt that's what Anna needed. She needed to learn about heartbreak and understanding the shallowness of romantic love vs. real love by being confronted with it. But one of the things that was a wrestle with the studio a bit was to kiss or not to kiss. People went back and forth and they should kiss and it not work. We finally figured out that it was a lot of the women who didn't want them to kiss and it wasn't for some romantic reason: it was because there's no greater slap in the face than for him to think she's not even worth the kiss. And that's where the gasp comes from that we were getting from the audience. Yes, it's a shock that he turns. But the real shock is that he doesn't think she's worth kissing. So that was a fun discovery for us.

Its labeled as "The making of"...

I don't find her annoying, I find her hilarious How does she know The Wind Rises is gonna win? She a memeber of the Academy?

[tomakpo]

One of my friends used to watch her videos just because she always was right with her Oscar predictions.
