Frozen (Disney film)

Frozen is Disney's 53rd entry in its animated canon line-up, based on Hans Christian Andersen's longest Fairy Tale, "The Snow Queen". It's animated in 3D using computer-generated imagery.

The movie has gotten a lot of attention as the source of the song "Let It Go", sung by Idina Menzel. The song made such an impact that, in the words of Co-Director Jennifer Lee, "the minute we heard the song the first time, I knew that I had to rewrite the whole movie."

Released on November 27th, 2013, Frozen quickly became the highest grossing animated film yet made.

Not to be confused with the 2010 drama/thriller film of the same name.


 * An Ice Person: Elsa, of course, as the Snow Queen of this tale.
 * Development Hell: Oh my Lord. This film is over 15 years in the making! Disney planned to produce this in the 90's as a hand-drawn feature, but they scrapped it during their change in management and their shift to CG features starting with Chicken Little and only just recently picked it up again.
 * Fairy Tale
 * God Save Us From the Queen: While The Snow Queen is built around playing this trope straight, this story is a definite subversion.
 * Meet Cute: Princess Anna meeting Prince Hans as she trips past his into a rowboat.
 * Power Incontinence: Take it easy on the Ice-9 there, Elsa. This trope is the prime mover for the whole plot.
 * True Love's Kiss: Invoked and averted six ways to Sunday. Everyone assumes that the reverse her curse, Anna will need a kiss from her Meet Cute Prince Hans.  Take that, patriarchy!
 * Winter Royal Lady
