Unfortunately, Anna does meet and fall head-over-heels in Disney-branded Love At First Sight ™ with handsome, charming, all-around great fella Prince Hans and effectively being an adult-sized child (Elsa is similarly arrested, but in her mid-teens) immediately accepts a marriage proposal (Hans is of a similarly reckless disposition) and starts blurting out excited plans to an incredulous Elsa, who would rather not have a brood of in-laws filling up the place. But now having reached adulthood she’s to be officially crowned Queen and the palace is being opened to a throng of foreign dignitaries which terrifies her but thrills Anna – who’s aching for affection and harbors amusingly Disney-specific illusions of meeting her Prince Charming at the party. She’s spent most of her life in self-imposed isolation, afraid of hurting anyone else and of being marked as a witch. Unknown to anyone but herself (their parents are dead, because Disney) Elsa was born with mystical ice-powers that once accidentally inflicted a nearly-fatal injury upon Anna, who has no recollection of the event (or Elsa’s powers) thanks to a memory-affecting magic cure.
#Unbound worlds apart good ending movie
That’s by design, since Frozen can count among its myriad charms the one thing you just never expect to see from an animation studio whose signature brand is rigidly-formulaic retellings of stories so old your great-grandmother grew up hearing them:īut first, to the story – for those of you who (for some reason) are here without having watched the movie or the review: Frozen takes place during what is technically Summer in the vaguely-Norwegian kingdom of Arendelle and concerns two sister princesses, Elsa (the older one) and Anna. One thing you won’t find is any discussion of anything that happens in the film’s third act. The review covers a lot of ground: The characters, premise, production and even much of the film’s first act since as is typical – the plot is heavily frontloaded so as to get the cast hurried along on a quest by Act 2. And not just because it was physically impossible to find six minutes worth of remotely interesting things to say about Homefront because it’s a terrific movie in its own right and features several significant shakeups to that most unchanging of Hollywood formulas: The Walt Disney Animated Fairytale (or “Disney Princess” movies, to use the contemporary vernacular.)
