Hey, don't complain to me. I'm just providing the news from websites that talk about this discussion. But just to cheer you up, Disney's version will do better since DreamWorks Animation's "Puss in Boots" did a better job than "The True Story of Puss in Boots."myfirstblog5 wrote:Two animated movies based on the fairy tale “the snow queen” are to be released in the end of this and the next year, wizart’s “the snow queen” and disney’s “frozen”. The original tale is that of a little girl named Gerda who has to go through several obstacles and a long journey to save her friend, Kai, who has been kidnapped by the snow queen.
This is Wizart’s synopsis:
“The story focuses on the girl Gerda, who is destined to save not only her friend Kai, but the whole world from the reign of cold.Viewers will meet not only popular heroes of this story but also its new characters. And The Snow Queen herself will appear in this modern version in an absolutely new perspective.”
This is disney’s synopsis:
“In “Frozen,” a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, so Anna (voice of Bell) must team up with Kristoff, a daring mountain man, on the grandest of journeys to find the Snow Queen (voice of Menzel) and put an end to the icy spell. Encountering Everest-like extremes, mystical creatures and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.”
You know, I think I’ll skip the disney version, in the theaters and the dvds, I mean, they just can’t let their movie be about a girl and her journey, for all other fairy tale movies they made that the girl just waited on the sidelines because of a contrivance, the excuse has always been “they’re taking it from the source material, they can’t change who’s the hero”. Well, now the source material has a girl hero, and suddenly they can change the story? Worse still, Anna is just Anna, or in another synopsis I saw “a dreamer”, but Kristoff is the “daring man who’ll lead her through the dangerous obstacles”. I’m done, seriously, I’m watching Brave when it gets released, and then no more, if a new movie gets absurd appraisal, I might check disney stuff again, but for now, I’m tired of their sexism.
What do you think?
