Frozen Fear

"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, and the fears that once controlled me can't to me at all" 

Frozen! The biggest Disney movie phenomena since The Lion King, and with good reason. Yes, I know everyone keeps talking about it, and yes, I know you're getting bored of it (though certainly I'm not) but I just have to input my ideas on the story's morale. 

Fear is probably the world's enemy at this point in time. We are all too scared to submit new ideas or change our path in life (I've talked about this in a previous blog post). We all need new innovators and inventors. We need more Steve Jobs and dare I say, Walt Disney. These men and women can't be replaced, but people can bring something fresh and new to our world, just as they did.

Frozen plays a major role in telling us what would happen if we all concealed our fears, everything would stay the same, in closed doors. Elsa's power was marvellous, and new, but she was scared of the consequences. Once she let go of all her fears, she could create beautiful things, life even (though that's not to say I don't condemn creating life, because we've all learnt Frankenstein's lesson). Once she pursued her powers, fear was non-existent. My favourite non-Olaf quote from the poem is the one printed above, because it tells us that once we conquer our fears we are MORE powerful than them. We can chase our fears away and laugh at them. Elsa used her powers to make Arendelle happy and prosperous again, also bringing together a few relationships. Who's to say what your own powers and talents can do for others?

I just think this movie has a lovely message, which the creators of Frozen have displayed perfectly. And now we must all conquer our fears and be the greatest we can be. ^.^
