And it looks surprisingly good.

And I watched the movie yesterday.
Meh, whatever, both of them look grat.

What would be the mini for Wreck-It Ralph's verse?

They'd indeed do the trick. by Hardric on 2019-02-18 07:40:00 UTC Reply

And now there is one eerily looking like Ralph wanting a family... Anyone interested?

It kinda does! by Huinesoron on 2019-02-14 13:39:00 UTC Reply

(Do they count as spoilers when they're for a trailer?)

Things I spotted:

-Elsa doing magical research is really interesting! She doesn't seem to be trying to achieve a specific goal, just to "test [her] limits/and break through".

-The alien invasion is... spooky. Are they purple/pink, to match the fire Elsa's fighting off later? There seem to be three different designs: concentric diamonds, a bird-foot with dots, and a teardrop/tree that looks lighter in colour.

-Nothing much to say about the Charge of the Sven Brigade, except that I think those trees are some kind of beech.

-It looks like Anna gets trapped somewhere, underground or down a ravine or something. Her clothes match the autumn scene from later.

-Magical fire! In a vague heart-shape, for anyone still hoping for Elsa/fire-queen 'shipping. ^_~

-New character! I actually get Brave vibes off the whole of Autumn Land, though this definitely isn't Merida. I think the magical pop-up is Anna, but I'm not positive.

-Aaaaand hero shot, where the gang discovers... autumn? I don't really know, there's no reason 'gasp - trees, but orange!' should be a thing. But apparently, per the stinger, there's... something in the woods?

Kaitlyn pointed out that the aesthetic seems to draw a bit from Coco, for which they clearly invented a leaf-simulator. It looks a lot darker than Frozen itself, colour-wise (the plot of Frozen is pretty darn dark), so... yeah, looks good.

Dangit Disney I need some of my money.

Aliens...?! by twistedwindowpane, cynically and jadedly on 2019-02-15 14:38:00 UTC Reply

Disclaimer, I haven't watched the trailer

Are they, like, literally described as aliens, or are you just calling them aliens casually? Because if they're actual aliens, in a freaking fairy tale world, I have a huge problem with this. Also, the designs, from your description, are way too sci-fi for a fairy tale world. I know that Disney's trying to break tropes to keep themselves in good standing with increasingly feminist parents, but honestly, making sense and fitting into the story comes first.

I also have problems with what really seems like Disney giving in to the Frozen fanfic/making fanfic-level of sense. The discovery of autumn sounds like someone's building off of the mistaken assumption that it's winter all the time in Arendelle. Although I do admit that fire is the logical next step if you already have an ice character, that's also what most fanfic writers use for the other character/their first Elsa recolor/Anna's headcanon powers. The vague heart-shape is probably you overanalyzing, although the idea of Disney giving Elsa a girlfriend isn't as impossible to me as I once thought, as they do already have gay characters in their TV shows. On the other hand, those are targeted towards older kids, whereas anything with princesses is for younger kids, and you know how the younger the kid is, the more threatened the parents feel if they run across something in kids' media they don't like...

I'm probably overreacting, but that's what happens when I dig into the Frozen fandom and find that the most popular ship is Annacest.

There's a shot of Anna running onto a balcony to see a host of floating crystal things in blue/purple colours, with little designs on them. It's totally an alien invasion. ^_^

I think the whole autumn thing is just them travelling to another land, with the teaser using it to set a different-season theme in a film that isn't actually about the discovery of autumn. The comment about the heart-shaped fire was pretty tongue-in-cheek; it's an idea that's bounced around the internet for a long time, but there's no reason to think Disney have even heard about it.

And... it's not surprising that the shipping in Frozen fandom is pretty messed up. The characters available are: two princesses, a manipulative villain, a human weasel, a reindeer and his human buddy, some rock trolls... and a snowman. Elsa and ~~Human Sven~~ Kristoff never really talk, so unless you want the canon ship or to include a literal villain, who are you going to go for?

Arighty then. by twistedwindowpane on 2019-02-18 00:31:00 UTC Reply

So it does actually sound good. Well then. I guess it'll just be like the first Frozen, good until the hype kills it.

As for the shipping, that is why I advocate the creation of fan-characters... and why everyone else advocates the nonsensical kidnapping of Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians to be Elsa's boyfriend.
