Ever fell in love with an animated Disney movie? Many people have - from classics such as Cinderella and Snow White to new releases like Cars and Wreck-it-Ralph. Disney’s most recent animated movie Frozen has captured the hearts of millions. And not just children, but many teens and adults as well. The movie, with it featuring more mature themes and plot than many other Disney movies, has attracted an older fanbase, and /r/Frozen is where those fans get together to share fanfiction, art - a whole lot of Elsa fanart -, and in general talk about Frozen. /r/Frozen has a very warm (ironic?) community, and there is a plethora of great content on the subreddit, despite the film only being out in theatres for about 3 months.

###”Questions and Answers” with the mods!! ##Can you introduce yourself a little? OrangeFeels: I'm /u/Orangefeels ! I've been on reddit now for about a year, half of that time was spent lurking. Now that I have an account, I love it! I'm currently studying Performing Arts at college, and am loving it. My friends and I, all college guys, aren't afraid to belt out "Let it Go" or "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman", you could call us obsessed. Then again, I've always had a thing for Disney. Since my first trip to Walt Disney World when I was nine, I've had an ongoing obsession with everything having to do with the Disney Parks. Then I saw Toy Story and Mulan, and that was it. I was hooked.

Eren_Jeager: I'm a guy that's currently in college studying computer science. I live in New England so I'm currently snowed in right now. I'm a sucker for stories with female leads, so Frozen was a natural draw to me. ##What is Frozen about, and why do you think it appeals to an older audience? OrangeFeels: Frozen, put simply, is about two sisters. These sisters, Anna and Elsa, were very close when they were young. Elsa, the older sister, was born with the power to command ice and snow. One day while playing, an accident causes Elsa to isolate herself, in fear of hurting anybody she loves with her powers. Fast forward thirteen years, and it's coronation day. Elsa, now 21, still lives in fear of her powers. Another accident later that day causes Elsa to run away from her kingdom, Arendelle, freezing it the process. Anna decides to go after her sister, to bring back summer. I believe Frozen appeals to all audiences because there's something for everybody. Great animation? Yep. Amazing scenery? Yep. A story about embracing who you are, and letting go? Yes. A love story? Kind of. Not to mention the amazing score and songs for this movie.

Eren_Jeager: Frozen is about Elsa and Anna, the new queen and princess of Arendelle. Elsa, however, has a secret power of ice and winter. When she gets pushed too far, her powers get accidently revealed and freezes the entire kingdom. Most of the movie is about Anna trying to reach a secluded Elsa and save the kingdom from an "eternal" winter. I think that Frozen is so popular because it's an animation that is more mature than the majority of animated features (from America), while also having a good story and top of the line CGI. Plus the two main characters being attractive women can only help.

##What is your favorite scene from Frozen? OrangeFeels: My absolute favorite scene from the movie has to be the "For the First Time in Forever" reprise. The emotions expressed by Anna and Elsa here are spot on. The singing by Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell is brilliant, and the animation ties it all together. If you want, it can be seen here

Eren_Jeager: My favorite scene would have to be the one where Anna froze. Everything in the movie had been leading up to the moment, and it played out perfectly while also rejecting an (in)famous Disney trope. ##What is your favorite post on /r/Frozen? OrangeFeels: I think my favorite post on /r/Frozen would have to be this piece of fanart. (If you haven't seen the movie yet, it may be a bit of a spoiler.) Why? Because it's so dang cute, that's why.

Eren_Jeager: Right now it has to be this. Elsa just looks too good. ##And finally, is there anything else you’d like to say to the readers of this? Eren_Jeager: This past month has been great for /r/Frozen, and I hope that it keeps up in the future. Thanks for having us!

OrangeFeels: I'd just like to say how awesome it is to see how large /r/Frozen has gotten. Before the movie came out, there was not a post related to the movie. Less than a month after it came out, we had to get control of the sub, and repurpose it, as there were constant submissions of anything and everything Frozen. It's great. The Knights of Arendelle are the coolest fanbase I've ever met.

I'd also like to say thanks to you, /r/MovieDirectory and /u/ASMRReading! It was fun to look back on everything that I love about this sub.

To wrap it up I'd like to just say, if you haven't seen Frozen yet, what are you waiting for? Grab a buddy or two, and head down to the theatre. Maybe even hit up the singalong version. You won't regret it. Disney has outdone themselves again. Now I have just one question for you /r/MovieDirectory...

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Thank you very much for reading, and be sure to check out /r/Frozen,
