Comments on: Another Defense of Frozen: The Subversive Appeal of Disney’s New Breed of Fairy Tale http://www.toryhoke.com/2014/02/11/another-defense-of-frozen-the-subversive-appeal-of-disneys-new-breed-of-fairy-tale/ Comics, essays, art, and heckling Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:07:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.7 By: Jessie the Cowgirl http://www.toryhoke.com/2014/02/11/another-defense-of-frozen-the-subversive-appeal-of-disneys-new-breed-of-fairy-tale/comment-page-1/#comment-99920 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:28:14 +0000 https://www.toryhoke.com/?p=7457#comment-99920 It’s possible to take this social commentary stuff too far. For example, the idea of ‘people of colour’ (horrible pc expression) being marginalised is reading too much into it; try to remember that the movie was basically set in Denmark or Norway several centuries ago, so the main speaking characters are bound to be mostly North-European-looking. That’s not prejudice, that’s just the setting.

As another example, your analysis of Elsa’s character hinting at some ‘sexual awakening’ is again reading far too much into it. This is a film which was designed knowing that children would be watching, so it is highly unlikely the designers intended that. More likely Elsa’s behaviour can be described as ‘confident’. I think you really need to lighten up and stop over analysing.

Maybe his parenting decisions were based on being a King vs being a dad: http://justadadwithquestions.wordpress.com/2014/04/28/was-elsas-dad-so-wrong/
