As a father to a spirited 3-year-old daughter, I have found myself watching Disney’s Frozen more times than I can count—likely more than any other film in my life. The repetition has led to some interesting observations. Here are my thoughts:
1. Surprising Absence of Viewers
It’s astonishing to realize that there are still parents with children under 10 who haven’t seen Frozen. How is this even possible? It’s one of the highest-grossing films ever! Are these parents geniuses for avoiding its overly catchy soundtrack, or are they simply living under a rock? Either way, they seem to be winning.
2. Elsa’s Powers
How did Elsa come to possess her frosty abilities? We know superheroes’ origins—like how Spider-Man got bitten by a radioactive spider—but Elsa’s story is still a mystery. Was she born with these powers? Did she undergo some bizarre experiment? I’d love to see a prequel that dives into her backstory. Also, which parent had the powers? Where did they come from, and why didn’t Anna inherit them? So many questions!
3. The Shipwreck Revelation
After numerous viewings, it took me until the fourth or fifth time to grasp that their parents perished in a shipwreck. I might have been distracted or simply missed it, but it certainly changes the context of the story. No wonder I initially found the film confusing!
4. Parenting Philosophy
I’m not a fan of the father’s approach to Elsa. Instead of encouraging her uniqueness, he decides to isolate her. A better message would have been to embrace her differences and encourage her to shine. Imagine how empowering that could have been for kids who feel out of place!
5. Predicting Love
I clearly saw through Anna’s instant attraction to Hans during the “Love Is an Open Door” song. Watching it for the first time, I turned to my wife and said, “This isn’t going to end well.” Turns out, I was right.
6. The ‘Brozen’ Trend
I’m tired of the term “Brozen” for guys who watch the film. Why should men have to label themselves for enjoying a family movie? I’m just a dad sharing moments with my daughter, and that’s enough. Let’s drop the silly nicknames.
7. Character Preferences
If given the choice, I’d prefer my daughters to be friends with Merida from Brave over the sisters from Frozen. Merida is a fierce character—independent and strong. While I enjoy Frozen, Merida’s adventurous spirit is something I’d love to see in my daughters.
8. Olaf’s Charm
Olaf truly steals the show. His humor and innocence add a delightful touch to the film. Lines like “I’m Olaf, and I like warm hugs” make him unforgettable. He certainly enhances the viewing experience.
9. Scary Moments
The large snowman creature frightened my daughter, leading me to fast-forward through that scene. I fear her first encounter with snow may be tainted by that frightening moment. Thankfully, the warm climate we live in means we won’t experience snow anytime soon!
10. Sisterly Bonds
The emotional climax of sisterly love brought tears to my eyes. My daughters currently adore each other, and I hope that bond strengthens as they grow. The film’s message about true love transcending romantic gestures is a powerful one, and I wish for my children to share that kind of relationship.
In conclusion, while Frozen may not be my top animated film, it certainly holds a place in our family viewing rotation. It’s fascinating to think that the children we’re raising will share this movie with their own kids someday.
