Doesn't come as a chock at all, the movie was fantastic!

Literally never heard of this movie.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;44104174]nice rock you're living under[/QUOTE] Hey now. It's a boulder.

I am interested to watch it but is it really that popular? Not that I don't think it's bad that it's popular but what is it that makes it so popular?

I'll watch it if someone confirms that is doesn't have a non-cliche story

[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;44104203]I am interested to watch it but is it really that popular? Not that I don't think it's bad that it's popular but what is it that makes it so popular?[/QUOTE] It's a Disney film (which instantly gives it a massive fanbase) that's challenging the concept of the princess (not that it's the first time Disney has done this), questions and subverts the idealization of true love in kid's media ([sp]"act of true love" being between two sisters[/sp], and deals heavily with issues such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks, from the views of Elsa who suffers them but also of Anna who has to deal with Elsa's issues and not knowing what to do (I've seen a lot of people saying how much they identify with Elsa), as well as having a strong story, beautiful visuals and a great soundtrack. It's one of the best Disney films I've seen, for sure. I really loved it.

baka gaijins. how does this even [i]begin[/i] to compare with dragon ball z: battle of gods? that's right, nerds. i thought so.

i thought the movie was okay at best.... but ok

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;44104282]Spolier.[/QUOTE] Snip your shit. Some people haven't seen it yet.

Honestly I thought the movie was OK. Not amazing, just ok. It had some nice elements to it that made for a nice change of pace and were a breath of fresh air. Overall though, I came out of the movie feeling like it was lacking in some areas.

I had never even heard of it until like last month when supposedly it was the best movie ever made. I am planning on sitting down and watching it soon, but it's probably going to be depressing as fuck to have me sitting by myself watching some happy Disney movie in the dark because I have no friends or loved ones. I will most likely cry halfway through, shut it off, and lay down.

Brave was way better than this and i dont even like the 3d disney movies (with the exception of Brave)

my girlfriend is obsessed with it :v: all I see on her facebook is frozen.

I'm glad to see it, Disney deserves some success after some if it's recent ventures.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;44104234]It doesn't have a cliche story[/QUOTE] Why are people disagreeing with this, it really doesn't have a cliche story (for reasons mikeyt went into). What does it have to do to not be "cliche" then, if subverting the typical tropes of a disney film isn't enough.

[QUOTE=Death_God;44104309]i thought the movie was okay at best.... but ok[/QUOTE] just because something makes a lot of money doesn't mean it's necessarily good

I thought the movie was pretty mediocre. I don't know why people think it's a godsend.

I would like to see a Disney movie that portrayed a male character as the lead, without a strong supporting female role. It seems like every single Disney movie focuses on a woman, and it would be cool to see what they'd do with a male.

The movie was okay... Seems like half the reason people even treat it like a gift from Jesus himself is because Anna and Elsa are their dream waifu.

I thought it was just alright, felt like a typical disney princess movie with a snow theme to it.
