There is nothing intrinsically wrong with movies about cows. i have not seen that particular movie about cows so i cannot say whether it is good or not, although i am not an urbanite in any case so i don't know who you mean by 'you people'. Can't we just let our opinions stand by themselves?
"It is a matter of grave importance that Fairy tales should be respected.... Whosoever alters them to suit his own opinions, whatever they are, is guilty, to our thinking, of an act of presumption, and appropriates to himself what does not belong to him." -- Charles Dickens
but remember, Disney owns the X-Men so that's fine :P
It's really not. There was no intrinsic reason for the Snow Queen to be treated like Rogue. Her parents forced her to hide her power with gloves, but when she revealed it, all their subjects were happy with it. So the theme of rejection by normal people was absent. The purpose of a screenplay is to tell a good story, not remind you of other things the corporate owner owns.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I saw Frozen yesterday. I really liked it a bunch for many reasons.
Two main reasons being Elsa (of course), and the fact that this movie was both familiar (all the stupid songs, all the colorful characters that you see and hear for once and never appear again), and yet absolutely uncharted territory (multiple protagonists, treating a kind of love that isn't romance to be just as powerful and magical).
Especially that last one. I don't think they've ever done that, I don't think.

It's called storge. And it would have been a good moral if they didn't contrast it against eros by makig Hans a mustache-twirling villain in a film that claims to be inspired by Hans Andersen. I almost threw up in my mouth when that plot twist hit.
lately they've been giving their movies titles other than those of the source material, which i think is an effort to show they're not straight adaptations, rather original stories inspired by the fairy tales
but Disney have never been known for faithful adaptations; there is no dragon in the traditional Sleeping Beauty

No, it needed to be contrasted with eros. That's what the film is trying to make you do; set up the sisterly relationship, try and distract you from that by introducing two strapping young men as romantic leads, and then turn it all the way back again. What we feel going through the movie mirrors what Anna is currently experiencing. And if you were paying attention (which admittedly I wasn't the first time around), you'd notice that Hans was no good.
Tachyon: I think it's because like...they're trying to trick boys to see the movie? Because apparently boys wouldn't see a movie with a girl's name in the title? That's why they did it with Tangled. Dumb, though.

Well yes, but The Princess and the Frog was the last traditional (i.e, hand-drawn, two-dimensional, marketed to girls) Disney movie. And it apparently did not do so well.

I don't feel he's the best thing in the movie. But I'm saying that he's a comic relief character among other slightly-less capable comedic characters. And he would be really annoying, but the performance is balanced just on that razor's edge to be just acceptable, and he's consistently funny.
Olaf's in a lot of the movie, but he's not that important, and only comes into his own slightly near the end.

but i doubt it's entirely that, given they made The Princess and the Frog rather than The Frog Prince
the film itself is charming
How long is he in it?
So he's the best thing in the movie and is voiced by Gilbert Gottfried?
Or do you mean that he is actually a villain.
