I follow this forum in a long time (especially this "Frozen"topic), and in an indirect way I've seen parts of Frozen (international dubbing), and no doubt it will be a great and epic movie.

someone asked for the duration, it's 109 minutes along with a short film Get a Horse! (at least so says the materials that I have seen)

sorry for English

So is the movie alone 109 minutes? or with Get a horse??

I'm assuming get a horse will be 5-8 minutes.. so Frozen must be about 100 minutes long.. which is an 1:40 hour!!

What accents?

As far as I can tell, they're speaking standard American-accented English.

Which words do they feel are improperly accented?

Welcome to DVDizzy.com new member.

It's nice that Frozen is over an hour and a half.

There are also melodies from “When Will My Life Begin”, “Mother Knows Best” and “Healing Incantation” in the score. But it’s true that the score was mostly different from the songs. That happened in “The Princess and the Frog” too. I don’t know, but maybe they were trying to make the Academy change that rule that doesn’t allow musical films compete for best score by making the music more independent from the songs.

Anyway, I personally like Tangled score, I think it creates a fairytale atmosphere for the film. And I like the songs too. They are far from Alan Menken’s best works, but they are still good songs in my opinion.

Clues of WWMLB and MKB in the score tracks ? My god where ?! I've been patiently and vainly listening to the COMPLETE TANGLED SCORE ( available on youtube), in search for such motives...
Tracks like "horse with no rider", "Kingdom dance" and "Realization/Escape/Tear Heals" are pure bliss. But the rest is very anonymous.
As for the songs, WWMLB reprise, MKB reprise and the magic incantation are three gems, but the other songs are a bit weak (except I see the light). Anyway, just cant' wait to hear Beck's work , even more than the Lopez songs... By the way, i just hope the extra score tracks on CD 2 are not piano un-interesting demos. Wiki says they're not real score but score not used in the real movie [/quote]

I agree with you, Alan Menken's work on Tangled is not as great as his past work but to me, it's much better than Randy's work on TPATF which never attempted to work the songs in the score. I can't wait for not only Lopez's work on the songs but Beck's work as well for Frozen.

What accents?

That's the point. They aren't doing accents at all, and some people feel they should be doing accents correct to the region.

I think the voices are fine, and it's just yet another thing to nitpick over.

Agreed. Thats's like saying Belle should have sounded like Sophie Marceaux or Ariel like Bjork. I don't think so.

^Or Pinocchio should have an italian accent.

And now people will say "If they can have an american accent in Norway the PoC can also be in Norway" whether there's PoC or not because they're complaining when the movie is not even out. Did anyone noticed Tiana in Elsa's trailer by the way?

0:10 on the left. She's in her green dress.

Who are "these people" we care so much about again?

Haters. The fact that we talk about them doesn't mean we care about them

Well, the premiere in Florida has happened today and still no word from people who went to the convention.

Because the price to the convention was $1,000

THE FUCK?!

What kind of convention IS this? Not even San Diago Comic Con or NYC Comic Con is that expensive. And those cons have fuck ton of stuff.

I heard from IMDB that a guy will see an early screening of Frozen for Halloween night with several local critics and he will give his review and notices after it's over.

Can't wait.

You mean... they think the characters should be speaking English with Norwegian accents? That doesn't make any sense. In "real life" they would be speaking Norwegian to each other -- not English with a Norwegian accent.

That's like those hammy WWII war films in which the Germans speak English to each other...with a German accent. ("Vee haff veys of making you talk.") They'd just be speaking German to each other. It's just a way to caricature and dehumanize the Germans. If you're making characters who would, in real life, be speaking a foreign tongue speak English, for the sake of a convention and audience ease, then just have them speak English (something the film Valkyrie, with Tom Cruise, finally got right).

Though come to think of it, I do believe that Oaken has a bit of a sing-song accent in his line, "Real howler in July," just as Lumiere does have a bit of a French accent. But that's not really an issue.
