In my opinion, Idina Menzel's voice is just painful to listen to. She's literally screaming into the microphone.

I found the movie just okay, and the songs were meh, but at least it gave me some artwork inspiration. HtTYD and Up are much better movies that deserve more recognition

She's not doing a Nazi salute. You don't exactly expect her to use her face to stop Hans' sword, do you?

Also, this scene is suspiciously similar to the Mr. Tumnus scene from Narnia.

Frozen isn't based off history. It's based off a story by Hans Christian Anderson called Snow Queen. They've planning it since Little Mermaid. Its a story. It would be like saying Mulan is supposed to actually represent ancient Qing Dynasty China. Disney likes using actual locations so any specifics concerning vocabulary (Fjords) or architecture is purely to show the setting they want to show. If Aladdin had European style homes or if Pocahontas had sky rises instead of Native American villages, it wouldn't be very fun to watch.

Frozen was literally nothing special, and there were major plot holes and just illogical sequences of events.

Hell, tangled was better. If only because Mother Gothel was a badass.

The only thing special about this movie was that it moved away from the stereotypical princess model (somewhat)

1) Statistically speaking, the vast majority of people are right-handed.
2) When acting in a reflexive manner such as, say, rushing to protect a family member, odds are you're going to reflexively use your dominant hand.

Pop songs come and go; they die out quickly.
Some make notable exceptions, but for the most part, pop music seems to be disposable.

A World War could have started when Princess Anna punched Prince Hans at the end. The Southern Isles could have been pissed and declared war on Arendelle. A system of alliances then would be triggered. Then you have a World War.

Dude, I think you're the only one in the entire fandom with the fixation on trying to shoehorn Magic Scandinavia into anything remotely fitting the real world or a real time period.

Not... really. I mean, I'm as guilty as anybody about overthinking stuff I'm nuts about, but nobody else in the thread seems to particularly share your interest in that topic. =/

Geopolitical setting has nothing to do with it (although this being entirely a matter of opinion, I'm sure there are plenty of people who find ancient China more interesting than 19th century Europe).

Mulan featured a much better and less stereotypical female protagonist, and had more action, drama, suspense, and emotion than Frozen could ever hope to give it's audiences.

Mulan also had far superior songs.
