Last Wednesday the 26th of February (coinciding with The Day of Dragons), Frozen was released in DVD in Spain. I was waiting for it for so long because of the fact that there was a catalan version on it, that I have not been able to find it anywhere on the internet, not even one of the songs.

Last Friday I had an exam, so I spent all weekend studying. When weekend arrives, one thing on my things-to-do list was to go to Barcelona to buy the DVD. Once I've got it and I relax myself of a long, long week, I came home. I was pretty nervous because finally I could watch the catalan version.

Don't ask me "why?", but at first I thought that this version wouldn't be as accurate as spanish one (I haven't seen the original version yet, sorry), but I was very, VERY wrong.

One thing that I always try to notice is synchronization between mouth-voice. I was surprised than, despite of the clear difference between english and a latin language, it didn't annoy me.

One more thing that I have to say about voices is that, in my opinion, the "voice actors" have been successfully chosen. Like in Spanish version, there are two "voice actors" for, for example, Anna and Elsa, one for dialogue and the other for songs (that I have to remark that in Elsa's case, the singer in Spanish and Catalan is the same girl, Gisela). But inspite that (that I really don't mind), I've enjoyed the dub in catalan.

Talking about the songs, I think that there is a great job in the fact of trying to fit the main sense of the lyrics with the rhymes in Catalan. I was scared thinking that, maybe, tranlating into Catalan there would be problems but I really think that they have done a nice job. I have really enjoyed every song.

I would like to comment one song, THE SONG (hahaha). I knew about the existence of the catalan version due to the multi-language version of "Let it go". I went crazy looking for the whole catalan song on internet, but I had to wait until I've got the DVD to hear it, I didn't even know the title. In catalan "Let it go" is named "Vol volar", that means "Wants to fly". So, essentially, have the same meaning. I have to say that the catalan version it's probably better than the spanish one because Gisela (that I have said before that sings both of them) seems to get better the acute parts in the catalan one. But I love this song in any language hahaha

I want to finish saying that I enjoyed the film like the first time. I smiled and felt good while I was watching it. Now It's time to watch it in english, but I think I will leave a while before, this week I have presentations, practices and bioinformatics and there's no time :(

Well, I hope that, if you read my opininion, you enjoyed it and I encourage you to watch or hear, at least, "Vol volar".
