Frozen (The Snow Queen)

^ Clicks on link.

  • John Lasseter appears.

  • He’s wearing a Wreck-It-Ralph aloha shirt.

  • Cue fanboy squeal from TDIT. :slight_smile:

Although I’m trying not to spoil myself, I gotta watch this later!

I just listened to John. I don’t want to hear any songs, that would be a spoiler! And musical numbers are better in context.

Here is the trailer:

The trailer spoils a little of the storyline, because apparently [spoil]Anna is also a Snow Queen.[/spoil]

You can see her hair turn from strawberry blonde to platinum blonde, and there are even moments when she has only a platinum streak. The same thing happens to Elsa, who is a honey blonde by the time of the coronation, just before she freezes everything.

Anyhow, no matter her hair colour, Anna’s so gorgeous.

Great trailer. <3

This is the first time in recent years that I’ve seen a trailer from Disney Animation that did absolutely nothing for me. It seems way to much like Tangled. I’ll go see it anyway, but not with high expectations. I’m happy that their moving away from princess movies over the next few years after seeing this trailer.

The part with the snowman “it looks like a little baby unicorn” cracked me up BIG TIME.
I like the trailer… hope the movie will turn out more epic than the trailer gives away.

And does it matter it looks like Tangled, its a totally different story, so who cares… :unamused:

I loved the animation in Tangled. And like you said, similar visuals doesn’t mean similar story.

Exactly, I don’t see what that has to do with it.

Many Pixar films use the same visual style, and what’s the problem with that?

You guys are right. The visual style has nothing to do with the story. Looking at my last post, it does seem like that’s why I’m not excited, but it wasn’t the only reason. Maybe I’m just burned out on the animated film trailers with the pop songs playing over a bunch of clips filled with nothing but slapstick comedy. I don’t know.

Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying, they’re all trying to be hip and young and fresh, bla bla bla… Tangled trailer had the same, but the movie turned out to be waaaay more classic than the trailer suggested.

But still, it would be great if Disney would try more to keep their films in this timeless state of being, including the trailer. Great films sell and are remembered, hip films sell and are easily replaced by the next one… such a shame.

Yes, but usually the filmmakers aren’t involved in the promotion of the film, not even the trailers, so they’re another people’s fault.

I’m pretty sure the film will be way better than this. That’s often the case with animation, and rarely with live-action.

Disney is terrible at promotion. PatF was the last Disney movie that I anticipated because of the trailer. And it was the last one I didn’t like, too.

I think something else that played a part in my feelings about Frozens trailer is that fact that there have been a lot of animated releases this year, and the trailers were all the same. And as we head towards the end of the year I’m over those kinds of trailers. Also the movie posters where the characters faces fill up the space with some catchy line at the top of the poster.

They’re trying too hard to get the Dream Works crowd imo. They need to fire their marketing.

Animation trailers rarely do anything for me, because they deliberately try to market the slapstick and juvenile humor aspects of the films. Even Pixar has had some awful trailers in the past. Wall-E is one of the only animation trailers that I thought was amazing. Case in point, the trailer being ho-hum really doesn’t bother me all for the film’s prospects.

Yep. And “Ten Minutes Ago” is from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. I don’t know where the recording of “Moonlight Bay” is from, but it’s a really REAALLY old (like early 20th century) song. Josh Gad was in “Book of Mormon” on B’way, so I’m 99.9% sure that’s where “Man Up” is from.

Speaking of bad trailers - just be glad y’all don’t live in the Netherlands - the trailers here are even worse. Why? The dubs are different from the actual movie’s dub, sometimes it even goes as far as to use different voice actors. …Sometimes. This happens, is all I’m saying, and I’m pretty sure it happens. I think.

I’m still pretty excited for this movie, but the constant negativity it gets while it’s not even out yet irks me. Ugh.

Don’t worry, it’s not like we get good dubs in other countries.

Regardless of your native language, I think it’s much better to watch it in the original language with subtitles if possible. I enjoy it more, and it’s less distracting. A lot of dub jobs are really messy, unnatural and have some words out of place.

But the people already hating on this movie are my #1 pet peeve right now. It’s just like Tangled, I’ll bet. It’ll be complaints of CGI usage and similarity to other movies down to the minute the movie opens, then everyone will be praising it and saying “Best Disney movie since ______________!” I really detest the average movie goer. Their opinions are uninformed, and they don’t give many good films a chance until they’ve seen them.
