Frozen


The final movie in my blog series will be the newest Disney movie to date, which also happens to my personal favorite Frozen. Right from the beginning I fell in love with its upbeat musical tunes, magic, and of course Snowman Olaf. Overall this movie seems to have a pretty positive not finally showing the two female characters overcoming their hardship, and succeeding. However like every other film they cannot do this all alone.



                When looking at race in this movie we can see that all of the main characters are white just like in the typical Disney film. Not only that but its dealing with the typical white girl being brave and facing a challenge no one else has ever encountered. It is interesting to see that this movie like other Disney movies was based on Norway. Why do writers continually use the same setting even when they have so many different options? This film reminds me a lot about Ella Enchanted and how she had to live with the curse of obedience; however Ella was not born with the curse like the main charter in frozen, but was rather given it at birth. 

When you look at the film overall you do not see very many people of color unless it is in the scene with the ball which is against what is actually seen in the real world. Why did writers choose to make Hans white even though he was from a different country then the main characters? They could have taken this opportunity to incorporate different races and make the movie more diverse.
