What makes me so mad is that snow queen is such a lovely tale and there was an evil mirror that shattered and froze the queen’s heart. So the first thing the newly evil queen does is PLUNGE THE KINGDOM INTO ETERNAL WINTER.

And the kid Anna is based off of is actually this sweet peasant girl who is rescuing her best friend whom everyone else thought drowned and whom no one cared for because mirror shards got in his eyes and he only saw beauty in snowflakes while everything else was just disgustingly foul to him. Except he didn’t drown because he was whisked away by the snow queen.

Like this girl gives her shoes to the river to find out he didn’t drown. Her hair ribbons to the birds to find out who took him. Works her hands raw to get to him and has to suffer a mental breakdown because she got SO FUCKING CLOSE to saving him and he won’t even look at her because he wants to solve this puzzle the snow queen gave him.

And then her sobbing wakes him up and he cries and washes the shards from his eyes and the fact that she saved him is enough to melt the snow queens heart and she brings spring back to the kingdom.

Let’s not forget Gerda’s journey takes her along a long road that includes meetings with multiple women, many of them old, most of whom are not evil witches but wise women who aid her in her quest. She’s also at one point held captive by a bandit princess who swaps clothes with her and insists on sleeping in the same bed and routinely threatens her with a knife, but she eventually lets Gerda go with a magic talking reindeer she was also holding captive. The bandit princess cries because goddamn Gerda you’re so NICE and PRETTY and BRAVE and you clearly care about this stupid guy I GUESS and I can’t bear it just GO ok just GO and also you better fucking take care of her reindeer or I will CUT YOU.

The story is full of interesting complex women of many ages and magical talking animals and it’s a real shame we didn’t get an adaptation closer to the original ‘cause it’s really cool.

hey good news about the adaption:

There was a Soviet animated movie from 1957, that doesn’t brush over any of the things you just listed.

You get Gerda on her journey, meeting all of those people that both hinder her quest and help her, with older women from different regions of northern europe, as well as several princesses who aid her

also the art style and animation is absolutely gorgeous and I always feel like it’s a shame that older Soviet animation is barely recognized around the world

you can see the entire thing with english subtitles here

the Tangled the Series writers know how to write all age groups so well, they literally hit it out of the park

first we have Rapunzel just entering her 20s and she’s bubbling with energy and ready to go but also confused as fuck, she’s tossed into adult life and underprepared which like Mood but also she just charges forward like “y’know I guess what happens Happens!!” and she goes from plucky-and-trying-her-best to outright feral and if that’s isn’t entering your 20s I don’t know what the fuck is

then there’s Eugene and Cassandra who both encompass the 2 feelings of being 22-25 because first you have Eugene who finally, Finally has shit figured out but keeps getting thrown curveballs like his childhood best friend popping up and reminding him he used to be a felon and then his estranged father shows up like “hey I’m your dad” and he has a complete existential crisis because Why Can’t Things Just Go The Way I Plan Them

and of course Cass is seventy-four layers of Absolute Mess pretending she has it together but she clearly Does Not, just a big bowl of not talking about her feelings and burying all emotions and having absolutely no idea what she wants with her life just as she’s getting to the age where everyone tells you you’re supposed to have it all figured out, FINALLY some Good Fucking Representation

plus there’s Varian who as a character is hilarious because he’s like 90lbs of dumbass but also an actual Genius but he’s also 14 so when he fucks up it’s like he Really Fucks Up and attempts literal regicide but he’s also like. supremely stupid and dorky and that’s Peak Teenager behavior. he’s just dodging responsibility 24/7 and gets crushes on every Cool person he meets and really wants some fucking validation and needs some fucking therapy

anyway we stan the Tangled Crew for knowing how to write, 100/10 y’all

Harry hesitated, but after all, Ron had been honest with him, so he told Ron the truth…

one of my absolute favorite bits from the hp books that never made it into the movies. though admittedly, the ootp movie had to rly condense a lot. i think the relationship between harry and ron is super underrated/overlooked - there’s so much love, trust, and support between them in this scene.

And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails and show what your made of well… I hope I’m there catching some of the light coming off ya that day.”
