10 Reasons Why Frozen is the Worst Disney Movie
There can be no denying that Frozen outdid all its expectations and went above and beyond, breaking records along the way. It ended up being the most successful Disney animated movie of all time, bringing in more than 1 billion dollars in the global box office, a record that has only been recently broken by Lion King. It was also a pop culture phenomenon, taking home lots of awards including awards for its soundtrack. It was one of the most talked about movies for more than a year, with its songs and every other thing about it being what people talked about for the what appeared to be forever. This, definitely rubbed some the wrong way as its popularity ended up relegating some great movies to the backburner. While no one can argue with the numbers, there is definitely a sense that Frozen wasn’t as good as it was made out to be for some, and definitely not worth considering among Disney’s best ever movies, and this article will look to highlight 10 reasons that show Frozen was actually the worst Disney movie.
One of the reasons why Frozen is the worst Disney movie is due to the fact that it extremely altered, watered-down and ended up ruining the story which it was based on. As is explained over at mtglion.com, Frozen was based on the fairy tale The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, but it ends up having very little similarities. They ruined a classic so as to suit a small group of people and ended up ruining the original story for most film lovers.
Another reason why Frozen is the worst Disney film is due to the fact that its support characters are bland and are never given space to grow. Kristoff is the cliché male that is supposed to fall in love with one of the main characters, he doesn’t even have a true role to play in the film. You could basically remove him and the film wouldn’t lose anything. There is no character development which is very disappointing.
The comedy from Olaf ruins it and is yet another reason why Frozen is the worst Disney movie as is discussed over at guttulus.com. He is a very pointless character whose role is apparently to make funny jokes, that aren’t that funny half the time, whenever the crew encounter a tough situation. He definitely gets in the way of the story and you can tell that his main role is a commercial one; to sell all those Olaf stuffed toys they did.
Frozen also has one of the worst plot development you are likely to see and this is yet another reason why it is the worst Disney movie. As per the subject matter experts over at mtglion.com, the poor plot development means that the movie’s main events pass you by without you caring such as the death of Elsa and Anna’s parents. The movie is not allowed to flow as it is constantly interrupted by singing.
We also get absolutely no background as far as the story is concerned like for example when it comes to the rock trolls. As discussed over at guttulus.com, it is assumed that we know most of the things and there is no background whatsoever on many things with the trolls being a perfect example as we are never told why they are there and why parents go to them for help among other questions.
As mentioned above, another reason why Frozen is the worst Disney movie is due to the fact that there is too much singing. As per the gurus over at mtglion.com, this is a big impediment as far as plot development is concerned. The songs may be catchy, but they fail to provide any character development and seem to lack a purpose. Juxtapose this against the songs in Lion King such as I Just Can’t Wait to Be King, which is a great foreshadow of things to come and definitely helps develop the plot.
Frozen was also a movie that was said to go against the archetypical Disney princess story but does it really? Well, as discussed over at guttulus.com, it doesn’t and that is yet another reason why it is the worst Disney movie as it pretends to be something it really isn’t. This is because it continues to perpetuate the same old clichés about princesses such as being pretty in a way that perpetuates biases on what beauty should be like with blonde hair, then there is the clothing, the fact that love is front and center of the movie and so much more. Come to think of it, it is the most cliché of all Disney movies.
Another reason why it is the worst Disney movie is due to the fact that the princesses aren’t as likeable as in other Disney movies, all of which are discussed over at mtglion.com. Elsa, for instance, is self-absorbed and only thinks about herself, with no care at all about the consequences of her action especially to her kingdom. She doesn’t even seem to care about her sister which is ironic as sisterly love is what the movie is apparently about. Compare Elsa and Anna to other Disney princesses such as Rapunzel and you see why Frozen is the worst Disney movie.
The fact that there is no real villain is yet another reason why Frozen is the worst Disney movie. As per the gurus over at guttulus.com, the villain is the backbone of any good movie. Just think of Scar in Lion King, Cruella De Vil among others and this is where Frozen falls short in, which wouldn’t have been the case if they hadn’t badly altered the original Snow Queen fairy tale.
It is also more of a child of great marketing rather than any good craftsmanship as most of the above points prove; another reason why it is the worst Disney movie. It is more of a product than a masterpiece and our congratulations are in order for the team that marketed it.
We can only hope that Frozen 2 won’t fall into the same traps and you can learn more on it and so much more by visiting the excellent mtglion.com and guttulus.com
