David Hingtgen Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I thought they were making like a 30-minute direct-to-video short? Or is this something different? Surely they wouldn't put 30 minutes of new Frozen footage with a full-length movie, for free, when they could charge $24.99 for Blu-Rays and have it sell-out on day one... Quote

Because they want to make sure that the live-action Cinderella makes money at the box office. Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I was already planning on seeing Cinderella in theater anyways, but now I'm extra excited. Edited February 26, 2015 by anime52k8 Quote

anime52k8 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 because you wouldn't buy it even after you've seen it in theaters? Quote

areaseven Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) As part of my Japan trip last week, I picked up the Japanese video release of Frozen. So here's a quick review:Anna to Yuki no Jo-oh (アナと雪の女王)Walt Disney Animation Studios/Walt Disney Pictures, 2013, 2014Directed by Chris Buck (Tarzan, Surf's Up) and Jennifer Lee (Wreck-It Ralph, A Wrinkle in Time)Written by Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee, and Shane MorrisBased on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian AndersenMusic by Christophe Beck (The Peanuts Movie, Ant-Man)Songs by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (The Book of Mormon, Winnie the Pooh)Running Time: 102 minutesRated PG for some violence and scary images. Cast (Japanese)Sayaka Kanda as Princess Anna of ArendelleTakako Matsu as Queen Elsa of ArendelleShinichiro Hara as KristoffPierre Taki as OlafEisuke Tsuda as Prince Hans of the Southern IslesYohei Tadano as the Duke of WeseltonMotomu Azaki as Grand Pabbie the Troll King OverviewThe Japanese release of Frozen is in Disney's 3-in-1 MovieNEX package: Blu-ray Disc + DVD + Digital Copy (cloud compatible). Both Blu-ray and DVD versions have the film available in English and Japanese.Picture quality is no different from the U.S. release, except in the Japanese dub, the opening title screen and Wandering Oaken's Trading Post (and Sauna) sign are digitally reprinted in Japanese (the English dub retains all of the original English logos and signs). As for the Japanese dub, it's amazing. I can't really say it's completely better than the English dialogue, but there's a lot more emotion coming from the voices of Sayaka Kanda and Takako Matsu on their songs. Pierre Taki is not as funny as Josh Gad in the role of Olaf, but then again, that's a very hard act to follow.For extras, the DVD version contains the Mickey Mouse short Get a Horse!, plus the music videos for the English, Spanish, Italian, and Malaysian versions of "Let It Go", and the film's first teaser. These features are also available on the Blu-ray version, plus a short live-action musical number featuring Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, and Kristen Bell, production videos, and deleted scenes. You also receive a "Magic Code" that gives you access to exclusive content in the MovieNEX Club website. The Bottom Line If you don't mind forking out the extra cash, get the Japanese Frozen MovieNEX package, as the Japanese dub is worth every yen. And while you're at it, knock yourself out with the countless Frozen merchandise in Japan. Rating: A Edited June 17, 2015 by areaseven Quote

jvmacross Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 #GiveElsaAGirlfriend: Some Frozen Fans Want Elsa to Be A Lesbian This will be as likely as a release of a fully restored, unedited Song of the South on Ultra4K.... With that said....if it means getting a Song of the South release.....then I say bring Elsa out of the closet! Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 #GiveElsaAGirlfriend: Some Frozen Fans Want Elsa to Be A Lesbian I support this. Quote
Kelsain Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I don't see the need to make it an issue. Elsa's romantic leanings don't really have any effect on the story, and can thus be left ambiguous. If you want her to be a lesbian, she can be. While Anna is clearly shown to have a preference, it is an important part of the story. The fact that Elsa shows more love towards her sister rather than a male character does not mean that she prefers the ladies. The fact that her inner repression & literal closeting is a good metaphor for the experience does not mean that it has to be true in this case. Never know, after hiding away so long, she might not be interested in either. Then again, the movie got so much fauxtrage because of this implied metaphor - they could just embrace it... Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I'm gonna be completely honest and completely petty right now and say that my ability to enjoy frozen 2 hinges on how they answer that question. If they leave it ambiguous and I can continue to ship it, I'll be happy. But if they go with the hetero-normative angle I'm washing my hands of this whole thing. Quote
