Dreamworks Is Better Than Disney

Yes, Anna and Elsa are sisters but they doesn't mean they're suppose be carbon copies of each other. I also go back to what Lino DiSalvo said about animating women's faces. So is he saying at women don't have emotions and have to look beautiful 24/7? I'm sorry but that comment comes off as really sexist and I can't help but hear, "Animating women is hardddddddddd." Now I am also going to say that I actually do like Frozen. It was a good little movie but again, I don't think it's the best movie ever. I found a lot of flaws within the movie and one of the biggest flaws is the sisters. I do think it's great that Anna saves her sister and I thought it was great that her love saved Elsa instead of a true love's kiss. However, Anna is, to me, an extremely selfish and rude character. Not only does she push Elsa so much that she panics and uses her powers, but she also goes from wanting to spend time with her sister to suddenly wanting a man. And then, she decides it's okay to marry a man she knew for ONE DAY. There is also this problem of her being a bit too polite when she talks to Elsa. Anna should be angry at Elsa for ignoring and also missing her parents funeral. Looking at Elsa, she is also problematic. First, can someone explain how she has ice powers? I mean, in X-Men they explain why they have mutants. But Elsa just has ice powers and no one else in the family does. Odd. Secondly, Elsa is somewhat of a coward. Instead of trying to fix her problem, she runs off and abandons her people. Also, Elsa's powers are suppose to be a symbol of mental illness/disability. The problem I have with this is that in the end, Elsa supposedly gets better because of love. That's not how it works. You can't just suddenly be cured of something because of love. Now as for compelling characters, Mickey is a loveable charterer but for a while, we didn't have any Mickey. The only Micky that we had was on Disney Junior. They did bring him back for some shorts (which I love) so you do have a point. However, I still feel like after Wreck It Ralph, Disney wasn't trying that hard with Elsa and Anna. I find Anna to be boring and like I said before, extremely selfish. Elsa would have been interesting but we barely get any time with her. How can I care about these two? Now here's the thing about your statement on the racism. Yes, Disney was founded in a time where race was a huge issue. I will give you that. However, I am still upset at how Disney treats their POC characters. First, Jasmine from Aladdin is extremely sexualized and her movie does a poor job of portraying Arabic cultures. Granted, Aladdin isn't as bad as Pocahontas which is not only historically inaccurate but does a a disservice too Pocahontas who was a real woman. Mulan did somewhat better but there are still some problems with both history and culture. ((http://disneyminna.wordpress.com...)) Princess and the Frog, one of my favorite movies, also had it's fare share of problems. Tiana, the lead, is a prototypical hard working black woman. The movie also butchers the voodoo religion. Another huge problem is that the first black princess is a frog for 75% of her movie. This has never happened it any of the other Disney princesses, just her. Another huge problem is that in the story of the Snow Queen, which Frozen is based off of, there is an important female character of color who was left out of the movie. ((http://this-is-my-miracle.tumblr.com...)) As for Up, I LOVE that movie. It's extremely beautiful and i love the characters. But here's the thing. Up was made by Pixar. Now you're going to say, "But Pixar is Disney." That is true but I have noticed in the past that Pixar had better films coming out than Disney had. While it is owned by Disney, it's my understanding that the people in charge of Pixar don't really answer to the higher up at Disney but the people who own Pixar. I might be completely wrong on this however but there is no denying that Up is a wonderful film. As for HTTYD 2, you admit that you aren't a fan of dragons. And that is perfectly fine. I understand that. However, I don't understand comparing it to Up. The thing about Up and Dragons is that they are set in different worlds. Up is set in the real world and Dragons is set in a world that is well...filled with dragons. I think it would have made more sense to compare Dragons to another Disney or Pixar film that is filled with fantastical creatures and magic. And as for being cute, what does it matter? Cuteness is fine and all but you can't carry a movie with just that. Also, Disney films may be cute but they are filled with a lot of dark moments. When I was little, I didn't watch Dumbo because of the scene with the pink elephants! Sorry this long. Your turn!
