Commemoration Month: Frozen (2013)

Click on this link to read my post about my thoughts on Frozen! Countinuing with a commemoration for Frozen (2013)! On 19 Nov 2019, Frozen premiered worldwide, so today marks seven years since the first screening of Frozen. Seven years! We have all come a long way since then…we ‘all look a little bit older’…

Conflictions on Publishing the Saga of the Crocus

Hi all, it has been a while. This post is not going to cover any Frozen content. Instead it is a post about my concerns for publishing the Saga of the Crocus here. As you may know, the Saga of the Crocus is the fanfiction (i.e. fictional work using other parties’ legally protected characters) that…

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 struck…

Reflections on Frozen: the Musical on Broadway

While writing this post (20 Feb 2020), I found out that the actresses Patti Murin and Caissie Levy, who acted as Anna and Elsa respectively, have left the production – in fact, they left this month. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours, and I wish the incoming actresses all the best…

Fanmade: 如釋冰 (文言文/Classical Chinese) [Let It Go]

This is perhaps one of the coolest fan-made versions of ‘Let It Go’ I have seen. Basically, the creator translated ‘Let It Go’ into Classical Chinese – a thoroughly impressive feat considering no one uses Classical Chinese on a daily basis anymore – and it sounds and feels much better than any of the contemporary…

Let It Go (Pop Version)

Per request As a matter of principle, I prefer the OST (the one played in the movie) to the pop version, simply because the pop version has been stripped of all its context. ‘Let It Go’ in the context of the movie is Elsa’s warped self-discovery moment. ‘Let It Go’ in the context of this…

Elsa’s Coronation Song: Heimr Àrnadalr (with comments)

(Originally posted on 30 Nov 2019. Slight edits made.) You see the words on the picture? I didn’t pull them out of thin air. This song was written by Christine Hals, a Norwegian-Swedish film composer. In fact, the movie also consulted Old Norse expert Dr. Jackson Crawford for accuracy. Lyrics:​​Verðug dróttning stór.Hjarta af gulli skína.Kronum…

Reflections on Frozen (2013)

(Originally posted 30 Nov 2019. Slight edits made.) Beware the frozen heart… I couldn’t get enough of Frozen when it first came out. I watched it near the end of its cycle in the cinemas, when you couldn’t even get a half house in the theatre. I didn’t really follow it on social media either,…
