Do you want to build a snowman?: Why I love Disney's Frozen so much.

Some people believe that Frozen is a kids movie. Some people are ashamed to say that they love the movie. Some people think that Disney movies are for kids (my parents). Some people think that reindeer are better then human. ;) I think that Frozen is a fantastic movie that means much than a movie about sisters and a snowman.


Of course I love the music and I'm obsessed with Olaf but the meaning behind Frozen intrigues me the most. Frozen is not a tale about finding true love. It's about the power of a sisterly bond.


A topic that I have not written much about is my past with my sister. I don't like talking about the past because I get emotional, but my sister is still there in thought. Anna and Elsa's song, Do you want to build a snowman?, correlates with my past because I always wanted a sister to play with and gossip too but that never happened. My sister had faught for her life for 18 years. She had Mitochondrial Disease, Type One Diabetes, Autism, quadriplegia, reflux issues, kidney failure and a bunch of the issues. In that way she was like Elsa, I felt like she was locked up in her room getting treatment all the time instead of playing with me. She enjoyed watching Disney movies with me even though she did not understand what was going on. Although, she did not get a chance to see Frozen before she passed away in the hospital.


On the other hand, I've always felt like Anna because I daydream about falling in love, I love chocolate, and I make decisions too quick. I have always felt like I was waiting for some great miracle to happen to my sister. I wanted to find cures for all of the disorders we were fighting. Unfortunately, that did not happen because she passed away over my spring break of junior year of high school.


This is where my love for Olaf comes in because he saves Elsa and Anna's relationship. In the movie he is technically the savior because he shows Anna and Kristoff where Elsa's castle is. It may seem unlikely for him to be a hero because he has no brain, skull, or bones. He also asks dumb questions during the movie because he does not know anything. Olaf saved Elsa and Anna's relationship. I didn't get a chance to save the bond that my sister and I had. I couldn't do anything.


I love Frozen the movie, the Broadway musical, and the live show at Disney World. There is something special about Disney music that gives me hope. I am super excited to see Frozen 2.
