As a dad of a spirited 3-year-old daughter, I’ve found myself watching Frozen more times than I can count—probably more than any other film in my life. This frequency has led to some amusing and random thoughts about the movie. Here they are:
#1 – There Are Still Parents Who Haven’t Seen It:
It’s hard to believe, but there are actually parents with children under 10 who haven’t seen Frozen yet! How is that even possible? This film is one of the top-grossing movies of all time! I can’t decide if these parents are genius-level smart for avoiding the catchy tunes or just living under a rock. Either way, they seem to be winning at life.
#2 – Elsa’s Powers Are a Mystery:
How did Elsa develop her ice powers? We know Spider-Man got his abilities from a spider bite, and Superman is an alien. But Elsa? Was she born with them, part of a lab experiment, or bitten by a frosty creature? I want a prequel! And who were her parents? Did they have powers too? These questions need answers.
#3 – The Shipwreck Revelation:
After watching the film countless times, it took me until my fourth viewing to realize that their parents had perished in a shipwreck. I must have been multitasking or zoning out. It’s a quick scene, but it explains a lot. No wonder I was initially frustrated, thinking, “Where are your parents?”
#4 – Dad’s Approach to Elsa:
I’m not a fan of how Elsa’s dad handled her uniqueness. Instead of encouraging her to embrace her differences, he chooses isolation. It would have been much more powerful if he had said, “You’re special, Elsa! Show the world your magic!” Building confidence in kids is crucial, especially for those who feel different.
#5 – Predicting Anna and Hans:
During my first watch, I felt the “love at first sight” between Anna and Hans was a bit too good to be true. When they sang “Love Is An Open Door,” I leaned over to my wife and said, “This isn’t going to end well.” Turns out, I was right! Either I’m a visionary, or it was just painfully obvious.
#6 – Enough with the “Brozen” Trend:
Why do guys feel the need to create a silly nickname like “Brozen” for watching Frozen? It’s just unnecessary. I enjoy the movie because it makes my daughter happy, and I don’t need a label for that. It’s akin to calling stay-at-home dads “Mr. Moms.” Why can’t we just be dads?
#7 – Merida Over the Frozen Sisters:
If I could choose a character for my daughters to befriend, it would be Merida from Brave. She’s brave, tough, and embodies the kind of spirit I want my daughters to have. Anna and Elsa are delightful, but Merida has that extra spark that stands out.
#8 – Olaf Steals the Show:
How did Olaf not get an Oscar nomination? He’s the highlight of the film! His one-liners and quirky personality make everything more enjoyable. “I’m Olaf, and I like to give warm hugs” is just classic.
#9 – The Scary Snowman Moment:
That giant snowman? Terrifying! My daughter was so scared that I now have to skip that scene. I can’t imagine her first experience with snow being marred by that frightening moment. Thank goodness we live in a warm climate!
#10 – Sisterly Love Tugs at My Heart:
The ending with Anna’s love for Elsa always gets me. My daughters are just starting to bond, and I hope they stay this close as they grow. While some say siblings will fight as teens, I believe they can remain best friends, just like Anna and Elsa.
In conclusion, while Frozen may not be my all-time favorite animated film—Wreck-It Ralph holds that spot—it certainly has become a modern classic. It’s fascinating to think that someday my children will introduce Frozen to their own kids, much like I did with classics from my childhood.
