Reasons Why Frozen 2 Is Better than the First

It was the question everyone asked before it came out in theaters; could Frozen 2 top the 1st?

Reasons Why Frozen 2 Is Better than the First

Here are the reasons why I think Frozen 2 is better than the first:

Kristoff

I will admit. In the first movie, Kristoff was pretty darn cute, but it wasn't until the second one that the audience really learns who Kristoff is. Frozen 2 shows us that Kristoff is just a goofy guy who has super, big feelings for Anna. When I say feelings, I mean we get to see him sing a whole 3 minute song about his genuine feelings for Anna. Tell me if I am wrong, but the only other OG Disney movie with a leading male singing a song is Hercules singing about wanting to be a hero. Don't get me wrong, I love Hercules and his song, but this is the first time Disney has shown a man SINGING out his lovey dovey feelings.

Anna and Elsa

In the first movie, we don't get much Anna and Elsa sister time. And I don't know if it is because I have such a close relationship with my sister, but every time Anna and Elsa had sister moments in Frozen 2, I about cried. They genuinely show what a sister relationship looks like on screen. If I am being honest, it felt like my life was on screen. With this, Frozen 2 showed me just how real a fairytale can feel.

Elsa

I didn't think Elsa could become anymore feminist than she was in the first film, but oh let me tell you, she did. Before Frozen 2 came out, everyone wanted so badly for Elsa to have a love interest. I didn't particularly feel this was necessary for the plot. But then this left me with a question. What exactly would Elsa's role in Frozen 2 be if she didn't have a love interest? What Disney decided to do with Elsa blew all of my expectations out of the water. I'm not going to spoil anything, but her song, "Show Yourself," makes me cry every time. I've seen Frozen 2 three times so far, and without fail, I cry. It is so, so powerful, and shows how if you don't give up, you can find what fulfills you and your purpose. Something in that song rings in my soul, and because of this, I thank Disney.

The Cultural Aspect

I read several articles beforehand about how Disney made several strong promises to not culturally appropriate the Native peoples in the area in the film. We know from how the past that Disney didn't quite do this well (uh, hum Pocahontas I am looking at you), but in Frozen 2, really did keep that promise. Although I don't know much about Native cultures from this area, I left that movie with so much appreciation.

Olaf's Maturity

Olaf's theme throughout the film is the knowledge that is acquired with maturity. Although this seems like a dull theme, Disney, of course, executes it with comedic charm. Throughout the film, Olaf shows off his new knowledge with jokes, and even sings a song about how things make more sense with age. Olaf is not only funny for children anymore. I think after this film, adults leave laughing knowing how in reality, things don't make much more sense with age.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
