It was always going to be 'Let it Go'. Dare I say, this is the most catchy and sung song since 'Hakuna Matata' from the Lion King? Simple lyrics and a big belting chorus. It's the stuff young girls dreams are made of. Despite my annoyance at the amount I've heard this song, I can't deny it's a bloody good Disney tune which they've struck gold with. Listen at your own pleasure/risk.
1 Lion King
2 Toy Story
3 Aladdin
4 Toy Story 3
5 Monsters Inc
Frozen is actually a superb movie, if you can give it a chance and actually watch it rather than doing the whole "it's so popular I'm going to not watch it/give it a chance because I'm hip as fuck" thing. There is a reason for its overwhelming popularity beyond a few great comedy moments for kids (provided mostly by Olaf of course), it just ticks all of the boxes... and then goes ahead and does a whole lot to break the stereotypical expectations we'd have from a Disney movie.
My boss at work introduces the idea of gender constructs to our A-Level students using Disney films. He goes through the more traditional films like Cindarella with very clear and defined gender roles, then he develops the idea with Frozen and how Disney now portray women as much stronger characters in their own right. The most significant thing about the film as you point out is the unexpected ending, where the true love needed to save the day is sisterly love, again moving away from the notion women need a man to rescue them.
I think that's why I still love Disney films now, even as an adult. They're obviously entertaining, but there's a whole other level to the narratives that you don't really pick up on as a kid.
Agree with this. To be fair, a lot of the earlier Disney films were very set in their pre-1950s gender construct ways. Not just with portraying the women as helpless damsels who needed a man to save them, but also a lot of the men were quite lily livered and didnt really have to work very hard to be the hero. Look at Snow White and Cinderella. The dwarves and the mice do all the work, and the prince just turns up at the end and gets the girl! I think thats why I always loved Sleeping Beauty, because it was the first one really where the Prince really had to fight for the princess. They've got better and better since then really. Some of the best Disney villains are female, Ursula, Madame Mim, Cruella De Ville, Madame Medusa, Malificent, and there are plenty of good strong female protagonists, Ariel, Miss Bianca, Belle, Esmerelda, Mulan. But the thing about Disney is that they havent gone all full on over the top feminist overkill. As they have fleshed out their portrayal of females, while still doing the same thing with their male characters. Simba, Eric, the Beast, and more recently, Flynn and Kristoff.

Can't believe this Toy Story bollocks is finishing ahead of Big Al. Shame on all of you!
