10 Random Thoughts from a Dad on ‘Frozen’

I’ve seen Frozen more times than I can count—probably more than any other movie in my life. My 3-year-old daughter has an obsession with it, and I totally get it. When something gets repeated endlessly, thoughts start to pop up. Here’s what I’ve been thinking after all those viewings:

#1 – Can you believe there are parents out there who haven’t seen this movie?

It’s mind-blowing! Frozen is one of the highest-grossing films ever. Are these parents living under a rock or are they just geniuses steering clear of the Frozen addiction? Either way, they’re winning at parenting.

#2 – How did Elsa even get her powers?

We know about superheroes and their origins, but what about Elsa? Did she have a radioactive frost incident? Was she born this way? I need a prequel—seriously! And what about her parents? Were they gifted too?

#3 – It took me several viewings to realize their parents died in a shipwreck:

I must have been zoning out at that part. It’s brief, but it really changes the whole dynamic of the story. At first, I thought the sisters were just human versions of Max & Ruby with no adult supervision!

#4 – The dad’s handling of Elsa is questionable:

His solution to Elsa’s uniqueness? Close the gates and isolate her. Really? Instead, he could’ve encouraged her to embrace her differences. Building confidence in kids who feel out of place is crucial!

#5 – I spotted the “love at first sight” trope right away:

When Anna met Hans and they sang “Love Is An Open Door,” I turned to my partner and said, “This won’t end well.” I guess I’m just good at predicting these things.

#6 – The “Brozen” trend needs to stop:

It’s silly to label guys who watch Frozen as “Brozen.” I watch it with my daughter because it makes her happy, not because I need a title. Just be a dad who enjoys a good movie!

#7 – If I had to pick an animated character for my daughters to befriend, it’d be Merida from Brave:

Merida is spunky and tough—everything I want for my girls. I like Anna and Elsa, but Merida just has that extra kick.

#8 – Olaf is the real star of the film:

Why wasn’t he nominated for an Oscar? He’s hilarious! From “I like warm hugs” to “I got impaled,” he steals every scene. The movie would be dull without him.

#9 – That big snowman scared my daughter:

I’ve had to skip that part because she gets really freaked out. We live in a warm climate, so her first experience with snow might be traumatizing thanks to that scene!

#10 – The sisterly love at the end made me emotional:

My daughters are young and adore each other now. It’s disheartening to hear others predict they’ll hate each other as teens. I’m holding out hope they’ll stay close. The film’s message about love between siblings is a beautiful one.

Overall, I enjoyed Frozen. It’s not my all-time favorite animated film—that title goes to Wreck-It Ralph—but it’s a classic. I wonder if my future grandkids will want to watch it and build a snowman, saying, “Good idea, Grandpa. Let’s watch Frozen!”
