Frozen: Academy Award and Best Animated Feature
Frozen

Frozen is a 2013 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.[4] It is the 53rd animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen, and featuring the voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, and Santino Fontana, the film tells the story of a fearless princess who sets off on an epic journey alongside a rugged, thrill-seeking mountain man, his loyal pet reindeer, and a hapless snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.
The film underwent several story treatments for several years, before being commissioned in 2011, with a screenplay written by Jennifer Lee, and both Chris Buck and Lee serving as directors. Christophe Beck, who had worked on Disney's award-winning short Paperman, was hired to compose the film's orchestral score, while husband-and-wife songwriting team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez penned the songs.
Frozen premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on November 19, 2013,[5] and went into general release on November 27. The film has so far grossed over $1 billion in worldwide box office revenue, $389 million of which has been earned in the United States and Canada. It was met with widespread critical acclaim, with several film critics considering it to be the best Disney animated musical since the studio's renaissance era.[6][7] The film won two Academy Awards, for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song ("Let It Go"),[8] the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film,[9] the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film,[10] five Annie Awards (including Best Animated Feature),[11] and two Critics' Choice Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song ("Let It

    The fairy tale is one of the most common and worldwide types of children’s entertainment through centuries. According to Marcia R. Lieberman, the effects are gargantuan, as she relates: “Children learn behavioral and associational patterns, value systems, and how to predict the consequences of specific acts or circumstances. Among other things, these tales present a picture of sexual roles, behavior, and psychology, and a way of predicting outcome or fate according to sex, which is important because of the intense interest that children take in ‘endings’; they always want to know how things will ‘turn out.’”(Lieberman 384). Likewise, fairy tales teach children not only the ordinary lessons, such as good behavior is rewarded and bad behavior is punished, but also traditional gender roles, as well as what class, race, and is valued in our society. Especially, for girls, many fairy tales tend to determine a woman’s value on her beauty and their gender behavior through the female characters such as princesses they want to be.…

    It has been a myth since his death that he was frozen through the use of “cryonic suspension”. However there is not enough real evidence to support these beliefs due to the privacy Disney himself maintained concerning his personal life. The lack of detail about his funeral and burial arrangements, combined with his reputation as a technological innovator has helped to foster the myth that, Walt Disney is frozen and encapsulated under the castle at Disneyland in California. Although Disney’s preferences regarding the disposal of his body are not public record (instructions or provisions for his funeral or burial were not included in his will. Maybe this is a true myth or does one wonder, could it be true that underneath the “happiest place on earth” lies the creator of it all. There is almost no credible evidence to suggest that Disney was even interested in the potential of cryogenics. Most of the claims that Disney did have himself frozen come from discredited biographers whose sources are hearsay at best, outright fabrication at worst. Disney 's death certificate states that he was cremated and statements from the Disney family bear this out. But as long as conspiracy theories and the dream of seeing Walt come back to put the House of Mouse in order persist, the legend will live on. (Urban Legends- Walt Disney Frozen -…
