The adult in the sauna is clearly implied to be his husband. When he throws in the sauna package for Kristoff, he turns to say "Hello, family!" and BAM! there they are. It turns out that giant man in "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna" is probably gay. Hey, did you notice the gay character? I didn't either, until I went to see the film a second time. He is an equal, and it makes him a wonderful addition to the ranks of Disney princes. He is not a competitor, a doormat or a fool. Kristoff represents the kind of modern man that Disney has neglected so far: one who is partners with the women in his life. But he is also willing to admit when she is right and values her sense of adventure and brazenness. He's not afraid to call Anna out on her poor decisions ("You got engaged to someone you just met that day?!") and attempts throughout the film to keep her from making more of them.

He spends the movie surrounded by strong women, yet he is not intimidated or cowed by them. With all the hubbub about women stealing masculinity from men, Kristoff is a wonderful example of what a masculine, 21st century man looks like. Kristoff's ability to lead next to a strong woman And she's not afraid to call a man "gorgeous" - even if it's awkward. She's aggressive and forward, tosses a snowball at a 40-foot monster and dives off a cliff.
She's clumsy, knocks things over all through the castle and runs into horses, which doesn't change over the course of the movie. Though there have been some small rebels, Anna blows them all out of the water. Disney has made women who are timid, passive and keep to themselves. Not to mention that in the line of Disney princesses, there haven't been many, if any, with a sexual inkling or romantic forwardness - ever. Until Merida in Brave, the idea of an outspoken princess was unheard of. Until Mulan, the idea of a clumsy Disney princess was antithetical, and even she found grace and form through her combat training. Anna's clumsiness, awkwardness and honestyĪ Disney princess is graceful, elegant and soft-spoken. In reality, even when it means isolation, confidence is a worthwhile goal - and it's sexy. In fact, Elsa was originally intended to be the villain of the story. This is something Disney has never done before as the characters who have been voluntarily solitary have almost always been villains, not heroes. In the reprise of "For the First Time in Forever," Elsa proclaims that her freedom and ability to be herself without compromise are more important to her than anything ("Yes I'm alone / but I'm alone and free!"). Elsa sings the now Oscar-nominated " Let it Go" upon realizing that she is good enough for herself, and that's all that really matters. When she is finally on her own, she finds beauty in herself. When Elsa's power is eventually discovered, she runs away. Disney takes a much-needed step forward by portraying realistic parental abuse that affects many children today. What Elsa's parents did was abusive, and it is so subtle that most people, including Elsa, don't realize it until much later. Those lessons are so ingrained that she continues hiding even after her parents die. Elsa's parents brutalize her instincts so that even as an adult, she lives in constant fear of herself. After an accident with her sister, Anna, Elsa's parents isolate her, tell her that she's dangerous and demand that she emotionally castrate herself to control her powers, which inevitably leads to her controlling them less. As a young child, Elsa is blessed with cryokinetic powers. Let's get the sad one out of the way first. Let's check out its most progressive moments: 1. Frozen's monumental success can and should not be understated. Its signature song "Let it Go" also earned an Oscar nod. In addition to the serious cash the film has raked in, it looks like it's going to bring in a few awards as well. After winning Best Animated Film at the Golden Globes, Frozen is up for the Best Animated Picture Oscar. Disney's latest movie musical Frozen has been hitting high notes ever since its release over Thanksgiving.
