I really liked Wreck It Ralph. I have said this before, but I think Disney Animation Studio is on an AMAZING run right now.

2009- The Princess and The Frog
2010- Tangled
2011- Winnie the Pooh (so underappreciated)
2012- Wreck It Ralph
2013- Frozen

Big Hero 6 looks really good, as well. I genuinely believe that today's children will look back at this period the same way people around my wife's age (26) and my age (30) look back at "The Disney Renaissance" era.

Yeah I feel like Disney has been on a good run since 2009 and it is so wonderful! The Second Disney Renaissance....or The Disney Domination considering the growing power of Disney at the box office with the power of sure-fire hits from them, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and Pixar. It's almost like being a kid again.
 
A new "Frozen" attraction will be opening up at the Norway pavilion at Epcot Center in Disney World. It's going to be replacing the Maelstrom ride, and presumably replacing the movie about Norway that everyone skips after the Maelstrom ride:

They're also extending the Frozen Summer Fun show at Disney Hollywood Studios (which includes a sing-along) through the holidays, adding the characters to the Magic Kingdom Christmas parade, and adding Elsa to the nightly holiday-castle lighting show.

I'm especially excited for that last part, since I'm going to Disney World in December. Singalong, here I come!! :awesome:

OMG, this is amazing. "Frozen" - the new power.:woot:
 
Nothing like finding a new highly marketable property!
 
Oh god I would love that. Then again the quality probably wouldn't be the same
 
If I remember correctly there were previous Disney princesses that didn’t marry the man they just met. There’s Beauty and the Best, Aladdin and Tangled I’m sure there’s more. But with Frozen people were saying, “It’s about time Disney.” All the while we had all those other movies where characters got to know one another before they tied the knot.

My sisters generation grew up on Cinderella and the older Disney fairy tales that depicted marriage after the first meeting, they are the ones that really responded to Frozen. I remember thinking that was what love was when I was a kid as well. Frozen is Disney’s apology to those kids that grew up with the original Disney movies.

In the original Disney movies both sides were depicted as perfect and did so messing with all of our minds of what and who we should be when it come to true love. That’s why in dating we all paint the picture of ourselves as perfect to the other person across the table; because we think the only way this works is that I have to be perfect. they are perfect which adds to the pressure that we have to do our best to act perfect too. Ah love!

A few years ago a woman told me she didn’t like the character of Rapunzel, that character was to perfect. The image of a girl always being perfect, in that it is a lot of pressure for little girls to be, because nobody is!

Someone I know told me a story of his little girl, while growing up everyone in the family would call her a princess. When she was a little bit older she rebelled and at school she threw a fit. Lucky her family was smart enough to catch the error before it really damaged her.

At the end of Frozen Anna doesn't have true love, she's just beginning her relationship with Kristoff and who knows where it will go. Maybe 10 years down the road she's married to someone else or she's decided to be a career woman devoting her life to her royal duties.

You may be assigning the wrong credit to Disney.

My impression is that tgey allowed Jennifer Lee to do her thing. They deserve credit for that, and Lee deserves credit for making a movie where marriage is not the climax.
 
I thank John Lasseter for bringing the Pixar magic over to Disney Animation. Seriously, it was his turn around that started to fix the problems.

The same could said about Linda Wolverton for Beauty and the Beast. There was a story department for that film too.

It's true that we can't know exactly who did what with perfect certainty, but my default assumption in the absence of further information is to credit the people credited for story (Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee, Shane Morris), the screenwriter (Jennifer Lee) and the directors (Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee).

In animation departments there's a lot of people who don't get credit, let's just say there are a lot of people that don't end up in the end credits. Department heads do. There's an employee who has worked in the story department at Disney for over 50 years and in those years he's only has two screen credits. The man's name is Floyd Norman and his screen credits are for The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Mulan. He's still at Disney in the story department to this day!

In animation the script is given the go and then that's when the story department takes over spending the years turning it into the story we see on screen, the story changes where the film needs to go. So many times the end result is nothing like it was at the beginning. Even though the film says script by so and so, contractually from the beginning they get their credit. No animated film is a one man band or a three like the movie credits credit. In the three years of the films development there's been so many people that have come and gone on a project who have contributed to the success of a film, sometimes the person who got the screen credit is the one who was working there the months before production completed. Well most of the work up to that point was done by hundreds of talented people who completed their time contractually at the studio or were pulled to work on other project within the studio. So many times directors change on projects as well. It takes an army to make an animated film. It's a damn shame when an animated film tanks, it has so many of the same artists that also have worked on successful projects as well.

Right, but it's been said that When Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck took over they started from scratch, which was 17 months prior to release.

So apparently they worked hard with their story department team and pulled it off! There's no way they could of pulled this off in just 17 months without an army behind them working night and day until release day!

Mayim Bialik is allowed to hate the movie. Everyone is allowed to hate the movie. And I'm saying this as a big fan of Frozen.

Anyway, this is news, because ... ? We need to get an angry mob together because someone doesn't like a popular movie? Stupid.
 
Yeah, what's the big deal? Why should anyone care? It's not like it's blasphemy or anything.
 
If anything, it annoys me more that IGN is acting like we should care about her opinions.
