I don’t think they made any new publicity photos for Scandal, either. I noticed in the promo they were using last year’s promo photos of them posing in the rain instead of new ones. I wonder if they cut back for all of their existing shows.

 

I saw  some posters and pics( as cast, not individual) from shield, from Castle and from Greys, but dont know about the others. But even the character posters from OUAT, are very cold, i mean the GA looks at that and connect maybe Hook, belle, Hnery, Evil queen, , but how can they identify Rumple, charming, Snow( they probably think is RH), or Emma( i mean the necklace we know the importance, but the GA not, bc is something she wears always hidden, they may remenber of something on 315 associated to Neal, but nothing else, the thing is, i saw the posters with the characters on Tumblr, better than the ones released,  They use the face shoots of previous seasons to add behind the symbol, that would have been much better, is like they want the show associated to Frozen not to the other characters.

Let’ s just copy Watcher’s GIF over and over–oh gee, there’s a big surprise about those spoilers. Funny Regina feels she has to find the book’s authors to rewrite herself a happy ending –wonder if Adam and Eddy are planning some actual self-insertion cameos? The story already WAS rewritten Regina, its just a temporary story setback to keep tension and suspense for the season, don’t worry! Evil…I mean, former evil that’s now good, but somehow lacking in empathy and compassion and concern for anyone else beyond one’s own happy ending, always wins! I also fully predict some Regina/Emma TLK as a surface parallel to Elsa and Anna, but chock-full of subtext for SQers, just what they did with Mulan/Aurora, but then just before CSers flip tables –Jones will propose to Emma and she will say yes. Then SQers can rant a but then repeat its TRUE LOVE, TRUE LOVE! Meanwhile, the rest of SF shippers will ….change nothing, because it’s already so far down the drain what’s the point? BUT….if there’s a big enough hue and cry, if the writers see the ratings slip, in their back pocket they can have Rumple being sneaky, and magic, whatever, bring back Neal, Graham, and Hatter and end with a big question mark LOST style bloodbath leading to wish fulfillment where everyone dies, but everyone’s been reborn in different versions of the stories, in different combinations –a very meta take on fanfiction reinventing stories as they happen.

This post for pretty much life.

That was an interesting and informative video. I still question if Frozen is really all that unique in its critique of fairytale tropes. It certainly was not the first Disney film to turn a princess into a heroine, since Mulan and Brave did that whole feminist thing back in the day. Mirada didn’t need a prince to have an adventure. Mulan’s goal wasn’t romance, since she had more important things to do like save China; Shang was just an extra bonus. Nor was Frozen the first film to promote family love over romantic love, since as discussed earlier, Brave did that first back in 2012 with the mother-daughter relationship being true love. Frozen wasn’t even the first Disney film to poke fun of the love-at-first-sight trope, since Enchanted did that back in 2007. Let me say, I adored Enchanted, which put Giselle as the damsel-in-distress-turned-heroine and had great musical scores like “That’s How You Know.” It was highly original and entertaining. Giselle was crossing from fairytale world to modern day NYC and slaying dragons way before Emma Swan ever entered popular culture in 2011. Enchanted was the first real Disney parody of its own making, which had Giselle realize she wasn’t in love with Prince Charming after all, but instead found love with a modern day man from Manhattan.

So, as much as I enjoyed Frozen for what it was, a cute story about sisterly love, I really don’t think it was all that groundbreaking or unique in turning the fairytale tropes on their heads since as I wrote above, Mulan, Enchanted and Brave were the first to do that. I did like how Frozen had a good, yet misunderstood queen with magic powers, made the sisterhood relationship of primary importance, and made the Prince Charming archetype character (Hans) into a villain. I enjoyed watching it for the most part. However, I felt there were several plot holes (e.g. Who was ruling the kingdom of Arendelle until Elsa came of age? There had to be a regent somewhere, yet he or she remained unmentioned), there underdeveloped characters (who exactly was Kristoff and why was he adopted by magic trolls?) and that the story dragged along in several places (the second half until the ending). I wouldn’t want to watch it again and again just for the music, since I could just listen to Let it Go on youtube. I know no movie is perfect, but I guess I couldn’t help but feel stumped why it was being trumpeted by some as the best Disney film in 20 years, since as I said, I liked other more recent films better like Tangled. Well, I guess now I’m better informed, but still not convinced of why Frozen is supposedly the best thing since sliced bread. To each her own I guess.

Slurpeez….everything you wrote I agree with.

Enchanted:
The reason I got in to Once. I loved the “fish out of water” of Giselle in NYC. It was fantastic and great movie. Lana says she patterned Regina on Ursula but I get more vibes as her channeling Susan Sarandon’s Evil Queen.

Tangled:
I felt it was a much stronger picture overall than Frozen. While I did like Frozen, the songs and the story were more interesting to me.

Brave:
Merida’s love for her mother reverses the curse she inadvertently cast upon her family to begin with. She fought against tradition because she wasn’t ready to marry.

I think the flaws of Frozen are that it went through so many hands. Some parts are brilliant but then others seem disconnect to me. It just doesn’t have a cohesiveness to me that other Disney movies have had. And the fact that I teach preschool and have heard about Elsa and Anna daily for too many months to count. The thing is, the kids really can’t tell me the story line of the show, they just like Elsa dancing around in the snow and singing and Olaf.

The fact that the author of Henry’s book is being mentioned makes me think that the showrunners may be in the know about the show coming to an end perhaps as early as S4. The reveal of the author’s identity has always seemed like a final-season kind of reveal. Also, if a spoiler is to believed that Emma’s heart becomes frozen (I know, how original), then I really hope it’s not a romantic true love’s kiss that thaws her out. (We already saw what happened when Emma’s lips were pressed to Hook’s cursed lips in S3b). Rather it’d be nice to see a kiss or act of true love from HENRY–you know, Emma’s confirmed true love. Frozen is all about family love being important. It would also be a nice inversion from the S1 finale when Emma saved Henry. Let Henry be the hero! The kid hasn’t gotten to do anything even remotely heroic since he nearly got himself killed in S3a. The kid still has the Heart of the Truest Believer and may even have magic of his own, since you know, his parents also had confirmed true love.

As to the “why” of Frozen, this is a pretty good video trying to understand why critics and movie goers were so infatuated.

That was an interesting and informative video. I still question if Frozen is really all that unique in its critique of fairytale tropes. It certainly was not the first Disney film to turn a princess into a heroine, since Mulan and Brave did that whole feminist thing back in the day. Mirada didn’t need a prince to have an adventure.

actually dont know if is true or not but in one of the epi description, someone said they also showed a promo of the future epis, in which Hook is telling Snow and Charming that Emma was Frozen, what can possible mean, if is true? Will be their way to put hook making an act of TL and unfreeze her? Or since they say that emma and regina will parallel with Elsa and Anna, will they pandering also to SQ? Will the Regina and henry mission be that, unfreezing Emma? They seem in this year to fan service every part of the fandom, stupid part really think that they think that mention neal from time to time is a good thing for SF/Neal-Bae fans, still say that this will probably be the last season, but if they are doing everything on Frozen, how will they live on S4B, will they keep the frozen characters as recurring, to keep the frozen fandom? Because no way people will try to see S4B with malificent, people already saw Mal in live action with Anjelina Jolie, they wont bother seing the same story with diferent actors, also sarah bolger is no teen , to follow the new story, the actor that plays Phillip has  a new job, and how in the world they will bring Mall if she is death? Crap theory, she is Marian in desguise, that will be reveal on the end of Frozen arc, showing that Marian was always dead, so that mean OQ can happen, bc according to spoilers Robin has Emma cave moment about Marian, like he is only with her per obligation, bc he loves Regina and has to stay with marian until death separate them, in other worlds, if she dies i can move on , and we will be together. What am i saying is that Frozen may not help them, in fact if they do it wrong can destroy them, will also be good to see Madam secretary, sports, simpsons/Brooklyn 9-9, all competing against OUAT, something tell me that they wont be able to use the excuse of is holidays, or something else they usually say.

I can see why A&E loved Frozen. The problem though is what they set out to write was much worse. Regina, Jones, and Rumple all were actually selfish people who at times have reveled in that. Regina laughing as Marian pleas for mercy? That’s a horrible image, and Elsa never seemed amused by the pain she caused people, unlike I would say, Regina, Jones and Rumple at times. They found it funny or amusing when they hurt people sometimes. I think the writers did intend to originally write them as sociopaths, but the problem is, they’re the more appealing and interesting characters to the writers and a lot of the audience, and whatever their original intentions (shown by hiring Sbarge and Ory, planning arcs for them, for Bailey and the last straw for me as an enchanted rather than disenchanted fan, for MRJ.. )–this is where we are.

It’s interesting to note that Elsa was originally intended to be written as a villain but the writers opted to make her a victim of her own power instead. An animated version of The Snow Queen was considered by Walt Disney himself, and she was going to be a full-on villain who froze a peasant girl’s heart on purpose. This would’ve put her in the same league as Cora. The way Elsa was eventually portrayed in Frozen was not as a sociopath, since as you said, she never intended to harm anyone. In fact, she isolated herself for the sake of protecting her sister, Anna, without realizing she’d unintentionally unleashed an unending winter in her kingdom. A&E may have loved the animated film’s twist of family love being true love, since it fits so well with OUAT in which parental love is shown to be true love. Yet, I’d agree with KFC that the similarity stops short since Elsa was shown to be extremely sorry to have unwittingly unleashed a snow storm on the town whereas other characters on the show have yet to apologize or even appear to be sorry for cursing their entire town/kingdom. (Yes, I point the finger as much as Snow/Charming for recasting the dark curse in S3 as I do Regina and Rumple for casting it in S1). Snow/Charming are just as unapologetic as Rumple/Regina are for uprooting characters like Grumpy, who wanted to remain in the EF, since in the end, they all got wanted they wanted. (Regina got Henry, Snow/Charming got to be reunited with Emma, and Rumple got to be reunited with Neal, albeit not for long). Who cares about everyone else’s suffering? (e.g. Jefferson and Grace, the dwarves, Geppetto and Pinocchio, and even poor old Belle who was locked away)
