Short Post: Diplomacy in Frozen (2013)

Something struck me a few years ago after thinking a bit more about Frozen. I had been given to doing that for a few months after the movie came out: I had been reading the wiki (now fandom) page, watching videos about the movie, absorbing lots of hype-generated content – and then this question struckContinue reading “Short Post: Diplomacy in Frozen (2013)”

The Official Multilingual Version of ‘Into the Unknown’ (with rant)

(Originally posted 15 Dec 2019. Slight edits made.) What. On. Earth. Is. This? We knew this was coming. There was no way the 25-language version of “Let It Go” was about to be the only one of its kind. And yes, I know this song is harder to give equally to multiple languages, because theContinue reading “The Official Multilingual Version of ‘Into the Unknown’ (with rant)”
