there's nothing better than being one's self

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2014)

I thought this movie was absolutely fantastic, from the music to the animation to the emotion. My two grade-school age children were rapt for the entire movie, as was I.
Several reviews have lamented the fact that Elsa is left at the end of the movie without a love interest. I think these reviewers miss one of the largest points of the film, and that is the freedom that one finds when she is finally able to be herself. It is a priceless gift. I say this as someone who was not able to be herself for many years. So I related *a lot* to Elsa. I see Elsa as an incredibly strong woman, and I think throwing in the obligatory "prince" would almost have detracted from that a little bit for me.
