question for those more conversant with Frozen than I am

[tielan]

Saw 'Frozen' yesterday thanks to the TV screen on my dentist's ceiling while at my appointment yesterday. Have a few questions.

1. So Hans was from another kingdom but kind of insinuated himself into Elsa/Anna's kingdom by getting himself engaged to Anna?

2. Did the rock trolls have any purpose at all or were they just there for the song about pairing up and getting married?

3. Nobody was going to actually check that Anna was dead, she was just dead on Hans' say-so? Like, NOBODY?

4.Was it just me, or did the ending feel somewhat anticlimactic - particularly because Hans only revealed himself to be evil in the last, oh, 10 minutes of the movie?

1. Yes. He was 12th in line for the throne, so he basically had zero shot of inheriting the throne back home.

2. The Rock Trolls had an understanding of magic, and Papi (the elder?) originally treated Elsa's ice magic damage that she did to Anna when they were little. Did you miss the first portion of the movie?

3. Lol I guess so.

4. Naw, I thought the ending was perfect BECAUSE Disney movies are always Romantic Love Saves The Day tropey and Frozen finally deconstructed that.

Yes, I missed the first part of the movie. I came in right around the time Kristof was telling Anna to get her feet off his sled dash.

Was it nice to not have a Romantic Love Saves The Day ending? Sure. But they had The Power Of Family for Lilo And Stitch, Believe In Yourself for Moana, Zootopia, and Big Hero 6, to say nothing of my favourite Disney animated movie from 'childhood' (okay, so I was 22), which was Mulan, so I'm probably a little bit inured/oblivious to True Love's Kiss...

Ah, makes sense.

Yeah, I guess I was less jaded with regards to non-tropey Disney when it came out in 2013. XD

I think the last one I watched that had True Love's Kiss was Enchanted which was mostly a rollicking good ride.
