If anyone who has seen the movie can refute anything in this Honest Trailer, then I'll watch it. If not, I'll leave it to all the little girls who made it such a box office and merchandising success.
Pocahontas wasn't the last good Disney musical. In fact, I'd argue it wasn't a good Disney musical period.
Other than that, I'd say the video is pretty accurate.
I think most older people dig it because it goes against their expectations of a Disney princess movie (major relationship is between siblings, true love is a familial thing, prince is the bad guy, heroic-ish woman with powers, main character is the annoying dork instead of the talking object). I think older people give the movie "points" for that stuff and they end-up thinking the movie's more clever/engaging than it really is.
So, they're probably more okay with buying merchandise for their kids, hence why Frozen prints money.
I think it says something about Disney that "Disney princess musical" is a genre in and of itself that can be parodied, played with and reinvented.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, it wasn't "Let it Go" that made the movie. It was "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" It reminded me of The Wall as Elsa separates herself from the person who cares most for her. And of course, in the end the wall falls, and she realizes that she didn't have to be afraid. I've had my own issues with walling myself away, so I sympathized.
Did you just compare Frozen to The Wall? Like the Pink Floyd musical about a psychotic neo-nazi rockstar? You could not have picked two more different animated musicals.
I never thought anyone could talk about Disney and Pink Floyd in the same breath.
Unless they're talking about Hercules, I guess.
