The Disney Wizard: Chill Guys...Disney's Lying to Us.

Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining

So cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear
See the beauty, sharp and sheer
Split the ice apart
And break the frozen heart

Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!

Beautiful!
Powerful!
Dangerous!
Cold!

Ice has a has a magic, can't be controlled
Stronger than one, stronger than ten
Stronger than a hundred men! Hyup!

Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining

Cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear
There's beauty and there's danger here
Split the ice apart
Beware the frozen heart.

So...If you have kids...Or are a Disney Freak--er...I mean Wizard...Like me...You've probably been aware of Frozen for a few months now.

Disney has gone out of it's way to market this film as a goofy little comedy about a talking snowman and a reindeer having wacky adventures.

Or conversely, they advertising indicates that this film is a cheap ripoff of "Tangled" only with the Snow Queen instead of Rapunzel.

Yeah...

No.

I'm not joking when I say Elsa is one of the most compelling Disney Canon Characters EVER.

I don't know where Disney's Marketing staff get the drugs that they take before they go to work, but I think they need to check themselves into rehab...

Because if they let the TRUTH about this film be known...They'd have something that all Movie Companies have wanted from the get-go. A movie that BEGS to be seen, and pulls its audience into the seats.

This, is the most subversive little Disney Film I have ever seen.

And that is a GOOD thing.

I've seen some of the (Very surprised, like myself) reviewers compare this film to The Lion King, or other films of the Disney Renaissance.

They...Aren't wrong.

This film is at LEAST as good as "The Princess and the Frog", probably better, but I have certain bias towards TP&TF due to the casting of their villain.

It's superior to last year's Wreck-It Ralph, which, as the archives of this blog will show you, I was VERY fond.

The First act set's up the usual Disney Formula.

Dead Disney Parents.

What? Mom and Dad are going on a trip overseas in a Disney Movie? Well, I can't see anything going wrong there...

...Oh...Right.

To the Handsome Prince Love interest:

To the Disney Princess who dreams of something MORE:

To the goofy Disney Sidekicks

Yes indeed...

This film does a very good job of setting up the usual Disney Formula.

And then spends the next two acts of the film subverting it and breaking it down in every possible way.

This film is a Love Story...

But it's not a romance (yes, there IS a romance in it, but it is most definitely a sub-plot.)

This is a love story about the relationship between two sisters.

About the bond they share...And the trauma they faced as kids. It's about them reconnecting with one another, and forging a bond that is, well, frankly, stronger than that between the Princess and her romantic lead.

I won't spoil anything that happens after the First Act, because it's frankly, TOO damn good to spoil. I want everyone who goes to see this film to discover it for themselves.

Seriously.

I hope that this film doesn't get a Cold reception in theaters...
