Just like with any movie that's been made, a lot of people spent a lot of time and energy making Frozen. They also used their own personal experiences and relationships when writing the script. To say that "Frozen has corrupted people" is a slap in the face to all of those people who worked so hard on the movie and put a little of themselves into it.
I was going to keep my tone polite and try not to rant, but it is comments like this that bring out the cinema geek in me and it makes me a horrible person, but I can't walk away from it...I just can't.
That comment makes it sound like anything negative I could ever say about Frozen(and I could give a detailed review about its many flaws in any relationship that is not the one between Anna and Else and the many plotholes) would hurt the poor hearts of the creators, who somehow deserve to be put on this magical pedestal for creating something and should be treated like special snowflakes. Sorry, but they opened themselves to criticism the moment that movie dropped into theaters. Yes, they put hard work in it(at least the animators did), but I am not about to bow down and tell them how grand they are.
And yes, I do firmly believe Frozen blinds people from far better Disney animated(and I am talking about the 3D animated ones) movies like Wreck-It-Ralph, which has compelling characters, an actual villain and a good plot. I am not including Pixar into this mix because I don't consider them a part of Disney even though they are owned by them.
Was my comment harsh and out of line? Yes and I apologize for that. However, I am not about to apologize for possibly hurting the feelings of the creators of Frozen because...honestly, they made billions of dollars with this thing do you honestly think they give a crap as to whether or I not I, some random woman on the internet, liked their movie? I highly doubt I am going to make them shed a single tear because they made more money in a day than I will make in a lifetime, they do not care what I have to say.
