We've seen so much of this movie before. With the whole princess having to be kissed by her true love to save her, with the two suitors with which one might be her true love is reminiscent of Enchanted. In this film they turned on the fairy tale clichés, especially with the whole perfect prince thing and then turning that on its head. Then they set up the true loves kiss angle and then they turned on that as well. They set up this movie with all the formula clichés of previous princess movies and then over turned them for modern audiences, like making fun of the whole falling in love and trusting the other completely on the first date thing that we've seen in previous princess films. The troll song was there to say that whomever you end up with will be somewhat of a fixer upper for you and that people don't change, basically telling the audience your significant other wont be perfect. This film is in the same vain as films like Enchanted and the first two Shrek movies and as well as Brave, that they are princess films that basically negate the unhealthy messages about love and relationships and women. We get that Disney wants to turn away from its unhealthy depiction of love and relationships from previous princess films, but all the while they still depict princesses with their perfect little bodies and faces that little girls emulate and want to look like when they grow up. I'm sure Disney is willing to continue making a fortune on princess dolls and gowns for little girls based on those images.
Also why does Disney always have to kill off the parents?
The facial animation seamed stiff on the two girls faces, there were subtle movements around their eyes, but there wasn't a wide range of facial expression on the two of them. Their cheeks were like stiff plastic. In terms of great character animation what really stood out for me was during the the 'Let it Go' sequence.
