It was entertaining, but I don't really see what all the hype is about. I would watch if again, but it's not "destined to be a classic" (as the cover says) in my house!*carrie*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10545859613596796648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-38924772511180118152014-03-29T16:20:21.669-07:002014-03-29T16:20:21.669-07:00I didn't know Frozen was based on the Snow Que...I didn't know Frozen was based on the Snow Queen. I'm looking forward to watching it, even though I've already heard very mixed thoughts. ;) <br /><br />If you like Snow Queen re-tellings, Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy is a fun(slightly creepy) option. I imagine all re-tellings of that story are a little creepy, though. :)(Of course, that's coming from someone who hasn't read the original yet.)Bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-55947914641809836802014-03-28T11:32:16.529-07:002014-03-28T11:32:16.529-07:00We just rented and watched Frozen this week for th...We just rented and watched Frozen this week for the first time. I didn't like Elsa's song that has become so popular, but I did appreciate the theme that love means sacrificing for another's needs as opposed to falling for someone and defying parents and everything else to get what one wants (a la The Little Mermaid and other Disney films). It cracked me up when Kristoff kept saying to Anna, "You were going to marry someone you JUST MET?!" because that's the usual Disney way. Elsa even learns that hiding away in her ice castle doing her own thing is not the right way to go. I didn't think it was any more Broadway Musical-esque that any other of their films.<br /><br />I did see somewhere that it was based on The Snow Queen and now I want to read it. I'm not surprised at all that it varies so much from the original - I think most people these days would be shocked to read the originals of most fairy tales and find out that they're different from what they thought.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-47275727548587732622014-03-28T07:35:36.236-07:002014-03-28T07:35:36.236-07:00I too thought Frozen was "ok for my kids to w...I too thought Frozen was "ok for my kids to watch a time or two but no reason to own".Shonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-70843597227631529422014-03-27T18:21:00.514-07:002014-03-27T18:21:00.514-07:00I did not realize Frozen was based on the Snow Que...I did not realize Frozen was based on the Snow Queen. :) I'm going to have to check that out! My 5yo loved Frozen. I've yet to see it.

I mostly didn't see anything offensive in it. My girls, on the other hand, do love it. I didn't even realize it's a take-off of The Snow Queen for done reason. I'll definitely be on the lookout for it at the library. (In fact, I think I brought a new copy home from the library long about the time Frozen was at the theater, but we never got around to reading it.). Anyway, yes. 8 can see how it would've been very helpful to read it before reading Breadcrumbs. <br /><br />I'm SO glad you joined in this month!Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949836482747469686noreply@blogger.com
