We can save on the fire and brimstone now that the last puppet film flopped. A sock drawer is Kermie's most likely fate.

And nuts to you, Frozen addict. I'm glad you so enjoyed your "Wicked On Ice" film, but I like to imagine what could have been:
Marc Davis drew that. I'd take that unicorn over Frozen's imbecilic drooling reindeer any day, and that snowy owl over Snow-Mater. But at least the most successful Disney film of late was NOT based on junk like Muppets, but on a Disney-adapted fairy tale. That makes me VERY happy.
), and whether "love would melt her heart". Errr, no.
I'd settle for them FINALLY releasing the last two Show seasons on disk, and stop trying to go the Warner "They don't remember Bugs Bunny!" route of trying to market them as "modern", with parodies of CW and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Although that was back when they couldn't get a grip on the tale, and kept trying to come with a plot where the Snow Queen was the central character of the story (
The other creative/weird character-analog guesses are correct, but that Hans one is just plain silly. (Especially since he wasn't even a villain until the last-minute script redraft, when it turned out Elsa wasn't going to be.) If anything, Elsa's self-pity was the corrupting "mirror", and just as the enchanted Kai was in love with the Queen, the let-it-go Elsa was now in love/denial with herself.
(In fact, one of the advantages of Shelley Duvall's cable fairytale series coming out in the 80's was that we got the "original" uncorrupted pre-90's-Renaissance versions of Mermaid, Beauty, Aladdin, Rapunzel and Snow Queen to use as reference material, just in cases of emergencies like these: )
And then one of the writers, who just HAPPENED to be involved with "Wicked", came up with the sisters schtick. Because the misunderstood bad girl/good girl gimmick had worked so well with that show. As a result, a very contrived, very cynical, and very politically correct story was concocted. And all of the strong female characters from Anderson's century-old tale were jettisoned. Because, although they were strong, they weren't marketable.
You talk as if the movie completely sucks just because it wasn't like the original story. Let it go.I know, right? The earlier versions of Snow Queen/Frozen, concocted during the Eisner era, as I understand it, tried to turn the tale into a romance. A sort of "Taming of the Shrew" thing. I'm soooooooo glad Disney didn't go with that. But just the same, I will be forever puzzled as to why it threw out every single character in the original story because it "couldn't make it work". No, wait, scratch that. I know exactly why the Disney crew did what it did: The writers of Frozen were afraid of having a film star a little boy and girl. Not marketable enough. There HAD to be a princess in there somewhere. They were also scared of the much-maligned (by bitter feminists and "elite" film snobs) Disney Prince motif, where the girl is rescued by the guy. Now it so happens that in the Anderson Snow Queen story, the GIRL rescues the GUY. Problem solved, right? But NO, she's not a PRINCESS, so hey, forget that, the marketing department will kill us!
But oh well, the movie's a HUGE hit, and so they all lived happily ever after.
That's the billion dollar question. From what I've read Frozen is doing really well in Japan so maybe OLC could make the ride first that way we just pay to clone it.
what is big hero six?
An animated film by WDAS based on a little-known Marvel adolescent power fantasy.
I think it's obvious with how popular this movie is worldwide that if a ride is made it would be cloned for almost all the resorts. Plus, with how connected everything is now compared to when Pooh was made, I doubt Disney would go cheap on our version of the ride while everyone else would get an amazing one. The rage in the fan community would be ENORMOUS. Maybe I'm just hopelessly optimistic about all this thinking that Disney would want to go big or go home for their most successful animated film.I'm not usually in favor of clones, but if the OLC is involved, I'll make an exception.
But of course, if OLC did build an awesome Frozen ride, we'd probably get the economy version, just like we got the el-cheapo version of OLC's Pooh's Hunny Hunt.
Also I'm sorry, I filled up my bucket.
