Frozen: A Tale of Two PrincessesThe fictional film Frozen is based on the life of Anna and Elsa, two sisters who are also princesses. Frozen has received numerous prestigious awards in the film community, such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. The fact that Frozen turned out to be such a beloved and acclaimed film was no surprise to me. After watching Frozen with my youngest daughter, it quickly became one of my favorite Disney movies, in part due to the positive messages it conveyed throughout the film. Anna and Elsa are the two main characters in this film. At the beginning of the film, Anna and Elsa have a seemingly unbreakable bond. They are seen building snowmen and playing together as one might expect from any normal pair of sisters. Anna and Elsa are depicted as carefree, innocent young girls who share mutual love and an optimistic, carefree attitude towards life. Anna and Elsa's seemingly normal relationship quickly takes a turn for the worse when it is discovered that Elsa's magical powers are somehow uncontrollable. . Unlike Anna, Elsa essentially has the ability to create a winter wonderland out of anything she comes into contact with. One day Elsa inadvertently shoots Anna with her powers while playing. The king and queen, Elsa and Anna's parents, rush with Anna to see the trolls help her heal from her ice wound. The trolls tell the king and queen that their healing powers will restore the damage caused by Anna's brain injury, but she will lose all memory of Elsa's magical powers. The trolls also suggest taking precautions to hide Elsa's powers, because the powers will get stronger with time. After nearly fatally wounding her sister, A......middle of paper......time, Elsa is depicted as vulnerable and naive, just as Anna is portrayed throughout the film. Elsa is devastated and fears Anna will die. Within a few minutes, the Kingdom of Arrendele realizes that Anna is beginning to thaw as is the rest of the Kingdom. Anna's attempt to save Elsa is the act of true love needed to break the spell. Despite the differences between Anna and Elsa, at the end of the film they learn to hug and rely on each other. Anna and Elsa both share the same unconditional love for each other, regardless of their very different personalities. Both princesses long to be close to each other and have a relationship like the one they had as children. Frozen does a great job of showing how we should maintain our relationships with our loved ones and fight for them at all costs, regardless of our differences..
