maybe it was because it felt like something new and not overplayed, or even under appreciated - but holy crap when olaf introduces the permeance of time that’s when you know it’s something different. the characters and story feel so much more mature, and that’s beautiful coinciding with the fact that i was 10 years old when the first one came out.

plot wise, it’s a bit of a mess; mostly because they probably had to keep the movie way shorter than they wanted to. but omg have you heard the outtake songs? imagine if they used them - the movie would feel so much more balanced. for example, the outtake “get it right” where christoph is singing about his proposal, where in the end anna proposed to him??? amazing. way better than the stereotypical “male gets down on one knee and girl gets all flustered with her hands and whatever”. elsa and anna still felt like the stars of the show in this movie, when the others like christoph were left on the side lines.

aside from the missed potential for the characters and the plot, WHY ARENT ENOUGH PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW VISUALLY GROUNDBREAKING THIS WAS?????? BITCH TELL ME THE WHOLE THING ISNT JUST A PHOTO. plus the MUSIC. IS. SO COOL. also olaf is actually funny in this one and not ruining every serious situation. i actually didn’t want him to melt this time.
