Frozen: Two Princesses for the Price of One!

So, I'm a few weeks late on my review of the Disney movie, Frozen, but better late than never, right? I was so apprehensive about taking my daughter to see her first "princess" movie -- and this one had two princesses to deal with! I imagined a talk (or a few) after the movie about how girls don't really need boys to rescue them, or any number of issues I have with the whole princess enterprise. But I didn't need to. This movie is surprisingly good.

Spoiler Alert!

The princesses actually care about either other. They don't fight over a man. When unintentionally hurt by her sister, the only cure being an act of true love, the princess seeks out the person she thinks she loves (a prince, of course). But he's evil and tries to kill her. Damn, that sucks. And he had us trusting him! Though frail, she escapes and with the last ounce of strength she has she sacrifices herself to save the life of her sister from the same evil prince. Guess what? That was the act of true love she needed -- an act she did herself, that was self-sacrificing and for her sister, not for a dude. She saved herself! And she saved her sister! Score!

The size of the girls' waists could have been a little larger, but other than that it was all good. Two strong female characters, ruling over their queendom, no weddings at the end and even a little humour from a snowman. And, of course, the animation was amazing (spectacularly beautiful, actually) and so was the music. We'll be going to see it again. And I'm kinda looking forward to it.

And this little guy is awesome..
