My family situation isn't quite good enough to for it to be said that I can relate that way, but perhaps fantasies count? :P I guess for me, it reflected a lot in some other people I've been close with, some very good friends and such. In particular, she reminded me of a certain person I knew very well at the time who was also very afraid of hurting people/being a burden, and retreated into a faraway shell to deal with it - mostly driven by an irrational fear of hurting others closer to her, and an inability to deal with the fear, and see that the thing most hurting everyone around was that very fear itself.

Not everyone can let it go though :(

Which is probably why the freakin' song is so damned popular; it just seriously strikes a chord with literally anybody who has ever been in a situation of hiding something important to who they are from the people around them, whether out of fear of the reaction or concern that it would hurt people they care about. Which is probably damn near anyone and everyone at some point in their lives.

... Also, it's stupidly fun to belt it out without a damned care in the world while doing about 80mph with the windows rolled down on the open highway up the coast. Not that I would know from experience or anything... :P

Surely not oh so distinguished mod. ;3

I haven't sung "Do you want to build a Snowman" Whenever I go to the Mountains either. Heh heh. Of course not.

On a side note who loves seeing early teens Anna? She seemed like such a tomboy and was probably for me was at her most interesting then.

I have a sudden image of you doing this up PCH (EDIT: I should clarify just in case :P Pacific Coast Highway, not that you'd be going anywhere near 80 on that road ;) ) :P Went up there once on a trip, and we only got two stations, both between 94 and 95. Must have been just the right frequency to go through a certain gap in the mountains or something :P Anyways, it was Opera, NPR (alright until we cycled back to where we started an hour in :P), or whatever we could find at a gas station.....

I found some remix from some guy.... something about a tombstone I think? Anyways, it's in my *second* workout mix :P The one for my headphones, containing explicit songs and ones that might get me weird looks if I'm doing bleachers with the guys and have it on loudspeaker :P

Funny you should mention PCH (and actually, the area south of San Simeon you could conceivably do 80 safely and easily. It's north where it gets all twisty. ;) ) On a road trip over summer with a bunch of my friends, we may have in fact sung along to most of the entire soundtrack while going through the twisty section. ;)

It is a shame that the rest of the soundtrack does get so overshadowed by Let It Go, though. It's a fun song, but there are plenty of other good ones that are JUST as singable. And damnit, I don't care if it has sinister connotations in the movie itself because of Hans, but watching my sister and her husband karaoke Love is an Open Door was possibly one of the cutest things ever.

See, I went from LA to San Fran in a rented VW, when I'm used to an SUV. I wasn't Letting Go of my breath half the trip in the wind we had, though it was beautiful :P

Sounds very cute ^u^ Do they finish each others' sandwiches? :P

I don't know, what do you think? It takes more than a random one-liner question to spark a discussion of something, GW. That's why the mods are always locking the really short one-liner thread OPs over in the General forum.

Is there any relevance in whether or not Arendelle's royalty gets along with the religious hierachy? The movie itself doesn't particularly give much to go on, nor does it give us much insight into the daily lives of the people, or to what extent religion plays a role in the local culture.

I think they don't particularly like each other, but they act respectfully towards each other. This is relevant due to Elsa's practice of magic since magic is a sin in Christianity,

Wouldn't Elsa be the head of the Church, since she's the queen?

Also, you're making a bad impression of Christians here, so could you please... you know.

well he is right. Magic is not favorable to Christianity.

And not necessarily. Unless somewhere down the line the families pulled a Henry VIII the Monarchy would not be head of the Church.

I'm aware than the Bible condemns witchcraft, but his obsession with saying that Frozen is evil has no description in my vocabulary.

True. Wait, is Arendelle even a Christian state? I didn't see any crosses.

In my own headcanon-verse, they practice an updated version of Norse paganism. But that's mainly just because I like Norse mythology.

So do I, actually. Would you guys find it cool if the kingdom was adorned with, say, Yggdrasil carvings or something like that?

If they could manage it, I think it would be cool if the layout of the entirety of Arendelle somehow correlated with the layout of Yggdrasil.

Also, somehow connecting Elsa with jotnar, possibly.

Yeah, that would be fun. My own headcanon is more ridiculous and freakish.
