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.
Tropes used in Frozen (Disney film) include:
- 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. Not only does her prince not care for her, but he locks her in a cold room to freeze to death. And then the audience is supposed to assume it's that other nice boy Kristoff. But she never kisses him. Her "act of true love" comes from inside her own heart, as she make a Heroic Sacrifice to save her sister. Take that, patriarchy!
- Winter Royal Lady
