*This ending is not for the faint of heart.

Can I post an alternate ending here for another movie?

Sure.

...the trolls helped train Elsa to control her power, keeping her fear from blossoming and destroying that control.
The end.
Seriously, the movie should have been 15 minutes long. Everything bad that happens is a result of someone making what is quite obviously the worst possible decision, mostly by not actually communicating.
Horrible, lazy storytelling. The music was all right, but "Let It Go" is to "The Internet Is For Porn" as "Circle of Life" is to "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

Expand.
Please no formating jokes. Nor "gain a song costing up to 3$ more".

He prefers the work of Elton john outside of Disney movies more? Also he likes the song "the internet is for porn"
-
The songwriters for Frozen were also the songwriters for Avenue Q (and Book of Mormon). In both cases, I preferred the non-Disney work.
Unless you meant, why did I consider the music "all right" instead of good?

Oh, ok.

I thought exactly that when I saw that scene. I was all "worse parenting ever"!

i thought the movie was really good. kind of cliché, a little bit silly, but very self aware and very fun and cute. you could argue that it could have been avoided if characters were smarter, but it's not really the point of the movie to be super intelligent with a tight narrative. it was good for what it was.

So on the radio this morning I heard some discussion about Frozen and how it is the best movie ever and it is just wonderful and blah blah blah. I really just don't get it. As far as Disney princess movies go, Tangled was so much better. And obviously Pixar is so much better than anything Disney does.

This. Tangled and frozen were similar, but tangled was so much better... No shame in this being one of my favorite Disney movies

maybe being familiar with other disney movies makes you unrealistic expectations on the new one. i haven't seen any disney movies before, but i'll explain why I thought frozen was great. The first third was pretty much worldbuilding of the the most cliché possible setup you can have, but instead of continuing in the same style, the movie then showed that it was aware of all the tropes it has used and was making fun of them in a very subtle way, with the "you're marrying someone you just met" and also the entire character of olaf. and in the showdown, instead of using the love on first sight, it completely skips any romance. it's basically a fairly smart story build into a cliché setup. I'd even say that it parodies overused characters, because the actual dialoges in the middle part were pretty sharp.
and in the end they do have a romance scene, which kind of weakened the message, but i understand why they put it in.
i thought all this was obvious, but judging from the movie sin counter video...
falling in love in one evening montage cliché

I just didn't watch Frozen, for a wise man named Jase Robertson wisely stated,"What is seen cannot be unseen."

I didn't watch Frozen, and I just noticed this is thread now, but a big +1 to you.

Frozen had some good thoughts, it just failed in the execution of them.

So...did anyone actually read it? :P
