Having a daughter means I’ve watched Frozen more times than I can count—probably more than any other film in my life. It’s interesting how repetition leads to random thoughts. After countless viewings, here are my reflections:
#1 – Can you believe some parents haven’t seen this movie?
It’s astounding to think there are parents with kids under 10 who haven’t experienced Frozen. With its monumental success, I can’t help but wonder if these parents are living in a bubble or if they’re the cleverest folks around for avoiding their kids becoming addicted to the film’s catchy tunes. Either way, they’re definitely onto something.
#2 – What’s the origin of Elsa’s powers?
While Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider and Superman is from another planet, Elsa’s icy abilities leave me with questions. How did she come to shoot ice from her hands? Was it a lab experiment gone wrong? Does she belong in the next X-Men movie? I demand a prequel! I mean, did her parents have powers too? Why didn’t Anna inherit them?
#3 – The shipwreck slipped past me.
It took me multiple viewings to realize their parents had a shipwreck. Seriously, I must’ve been distracted. It happens quickly, and I wondered where the girls’ parents had vanished to, thinking they were just like Max & Ruby.
#4 – Dad’s parenting approach was questionable.
The father’s idea of isolating Elsa because she was “different” was a missed opportunity. Instead of encouraging her uniqueness, he closed the gates. It would have been better to say, “Embrace your differences, Elsa! You’re amazing!” I really think fostering confidence in kids who feel different is crucial. Sure, the plot would change, but locking a kid away isn’t the best strategy.
#5 – Anna and Hans had a red flag romance.
During the “Love Is An Open Door” song, I turned to my partner and said, “This isn’t going to end well.” Call me a predictor, but it was clear something was off with their whirlwind romance.
#6 – Let’s retire “Brozen.”
I’m tired of guys calling themselves “Brozen” for watching this movie. It’s not clever; it’s silly. Why should men feel the need to categorize themselves for enjoying a film? I’m just a dad who watches Frozen because it makes my daughter happy—not because I need a label.
#7 – If I could choose friends for my daughters, it’d be Merida.
I haven’t seen every animated film, but Merida from Brave stands out. She’s spunky, tough, and the kind of character I’d want my daughters to befriend. Anna and Elsa are fine, but Merida just has an edge that I love. Plus, I’d happily invite Elsa over during a heatwave to keep my house cool—talk about eco-friendly!
#8 – Olaf was the real MVP.
Why wasn’t Olaf nominated for an Oscar? He’s the highlight of the film with his hilarious lines and lovable personality. “I like warm hugs!”—thank you, Olaf, for making the movie more enjoyable.
#9 – The snow monster was terrifying for my daughter.
I had to skip the part where the snow creature chases Anna and Elsa because it scared my daughter silly. Honestly, her first encounter with snow might not go well due to that scene. Good thing we live in a warm climate!
#10 – The ending brought tears to my eyes.
As my daughters, aged 3 and 9 months, giggle together, I hope they maintain that bond into their teenage years. The film’s message about sisterly love is powerful, especially when Anna’s true love for Elsa shines through. I really hope my girls will share that kind of connection as they grow.
In conclusion, while Frozen might not be my all-time favorite animated film (that title goes to Wreck-It Ralph), it’s a classic that will be cherished for generations. It’s odd to think that one day, my grandchildren will likely watch Frozen too, perhaps while building snowmen. Just imagine them saying, “Good idea, Grandpa! Let’s watch Frozen!”
