I don't think this analysis was meant to be taken completely seriously. At least, I read it as more of a tongue-in-cheek "This plot is frustratingly incoherent, how can we reinterpret it to make more sense?"
> Frozen 2 was more... wonderful and silly.
I fully agree with you there (although my family is split 50-50 on the question ;-) ). As I wrote below, Frozen 2 has a lot more depth. Its whole theme of growing up is handled in a beautiful and mature (un-Disney-like) manner, with a lot of points I felt I could relate to. Not introducing any new infatuations left the script writers a lot more space to explore friendships, sibling relationships, and more "serious" romantic relationships; all to great effect. At the same time, you still have Olaf being Olaf, Elsa singing her songs, and some stunning landscape animations...
- faitswulff 6y agoFrozen 2 had more depth, but unfortunately I think that made it harder for my then-5yo to relate to.
- oceanghost 6y agoPerhaps my literal reading of the article was naive. It is difficult sometimes to tell the difference between, parody and simplicity. I agree F2 tackled some big ideas. I liked that about it... What I specifically hated was-- how the movie backtracked on the relationships (I'd love to hear your thoughts on this?). At the end of F1, we establish that Anna and Kristof are dating, and that Anna saves Elsa, then Anna is separated from them both and they're both off doing things necessary to the plot that inconvenience Anna emotionally, and this felt like very old territory.
