Which Celeb Gave Frozen the Cold Shoulder?!

Actress Mayim Bialik, from The Big Bang Theory, has spoken out about "Frozen" and its theme in a blog post. Mayim writes, "Sure, it's sort of hidden, but the search for a man/love/Prince is still the reigning plot line in the movie, as it is with pretty much all movies for young people which are animated. The sister's desire to marry this guy she just met, and the other sister getting mad at her -- we still have a plot about the identification of a woman being based on her desire and search to meet a man. Of course, in general, in the Universe, heterosexual women tend to want to meet men and I am one of those women. My issue is not that. My issue is that this is a movie geared to small children who I don't think need to be focusing on that as the main driving plot of a movie, especially when it's not a literary or historically-based fairy tale. And these characters are young; certainly not old enough in my socially conservative opinion to be searching for mates! I've had just enough already with this finding a man business in most every kids' movie. Disney classics were all about this and look where it's gotten us!"

To quote Elsa, "Let It Go!" It's a kid's movie, and I guarantee that they weren't paying attention to anything beyond that get-stuck-in-your-head-all-day song. We think she's overthinking it. And there are a couple things wrong with her criticisms too...

One of the reasons that this movie has been celebrated as a "modern fairy tale," is because it addresses the issue of the "love at first sight" that plagued all the classic Disney movies. Disney actually makes fun of itself for having characters marry off just moments after meeting for the first time. Obviously, that's not how it works in real life.

Spoiler alert: It's true that Ana seeks true love's kiss to unfreeze her heart, thinking that's enough to fix everything. But it turns out that the act of true love needed to save herself had nothing to do with either Hans or Kristoff. In the end, it's Ana's sacrificial act to save Elsa that breaks the spell. The love for her sister proved to be truer than any kiss.
