@deanduncan63Saw #Frozen. We should judge things on their own terms, eh? As cute & girly go, this is very good.
We should judge things on their own terms, but we can also judge those terms. At that level, on that basis…
… #Frozen also feels kinda like a 90 minute long Facebook update.
Disney’s #GetAHorse/#Frozen (cartoon short and animated feature) pairing is really instructive. The aggressively ill-behaved short was simply, straightforwardly joyous …
… The skillful, heartfelt feature forced us, as parents, to draw out and explicate all sorts of rather dire ideological pitfalls.
#Frozen. The Snow Queen, & every classic, & each reader/viewer, is served by adaptation, contemplation, fracturing. So, good for this …
… for its invented origin-story, even its kinder, gentler Snow Queen/universe. It’s more presentable/polite than HC Andersen’s wild original…
… But it also leaves profound for palatable, Salvation for RomCom. Andersen has menace, majesty, sublimity. This? entertaining, but never transformative.
