But Have You Read the Book?: 52 Literary Gems That Inspired Our Favorite Films (Turner Classic Movies)

I’ve read this NEW ARTICLE From the Lopezes about Frozen and their other projects and there’s something I loved.
This part explaining what Elsa wants:
WHAT ELSA WOULD WISH FOR. It's all there in "dangerous to dream". And what she wants is being closer to Anna.
This is interesting too:
Personally I think they should work more on making Anna less perfect (and slightly annoying at times). But recently the Lopezes were deleted from the list of Frozen 2 creators on wikipedia. I wonder if they asked for it LOL anyway it’s clear they’re there to write songs and music, not the movies.
There’s also this part about “Let it Go”:
Elsa is under the pressure of having to hide her magic, she accepts her powers and is fine by the end of the movie. (friendly reminder to the ones who say she wasn’t free at the end of F1).
And “the next right thing”:
I've screencapped cause there's an annoying "subscribe" alert on the site.
I appreciate the honesty on saying F2 not commercially successful as the first movie.
I LOVE Frozen II❣️😍
It’s hard to believe that Show Yourself almost didn’t end up in the movie!
It’s so beautiful and powerful and I tear up everytime! 😢
joshgad It can never be overstated how lucky we are to be alive during the musical reign of @kristenlopez5681 and #bobbylopez who have collectively and independently brought us the indelible music of Frozen, Coco, Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon, and now Frozen 2. They are Gods.
'The Prince and the Dressmaker' will be turned into a musical by Kristen and Bobby Lopez, and I truly cannot freakin' wait.
Bobby, Jonathan, Kristen, and Josh!
Let It Go.
The more I listen to it and the more I watch it...
The more I find it so beautiful and all the more heartbreaking.
This song is still (and forevermore) relevant to me.
It’s because of that one line. The line “Conceal it, don’t feel it, don’t let it show” (Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?) that transformed to “Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know.” (Let It Go). It wasn’t just about her powers anymore. It was more than that. It became more than that. It became everything.
That line--her mantra-- “Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know” is probably the words from Elsa that makes my heart hurt most. Can you imagine forcing yourself to not feel... anything? The pain of losing your parents, your best friend, and any sort of emotion other than fear because you’re afraid you’ll literally kill everyone by accident if you dare mess up and lose control? When did young Elsa learn to master the skill of concealment? 16? 12? 10...9? 8? How low can it get?
And don’t let them know....that she misses Anna so much that it burns her soul? and mom and dad (oh god, why did you leave mom and dad?) and she’s hurting? and bleeding? and broken? and absolutely lonely? and scared? and ashamed? and sad? and lost? and so, so, so, so tired?
It wasn’t just about her powers that she was talking about, I realize.
I wonder... when was the last time Elsa really laughed before that coronation ball encounter with Anna? It wasn’t even a full blown laugh, but a shy giggle.
I recently reblogged a post from a blogger that commented on an Elsa edit (she’s eating lollipops and looks so cute) by @constable-frozen. The reblogger said:
Elsa has lived the majority of her life feeling like useless shit, so yes, give her all the happies please.
And I wholeheartedly agree. So much, it makes me kinda cry even though that comment was meant to be a tad bit humorous.
So I was just watching Bobby and Kristen Lopez’ interview about the making of Let It Go, and the lyrics struck me even more while listening to the writers’ perspectives. And Jen and Idina.
“The first time I heard Let It Go, I thought-- “Wow, this isn’t just like the funny sort of evil queen song.” It was a real soulful, emotional, vulnerable song. And then to my beautiful surprise, I mean, she was never ever the nemesis, really. She’s just a misunderstood young woman that we can all relate to.” - Idina Menzel
And my favorite: [The first time she heard Let It Go]
"I went...Oh God, I have to rewrite the entire movie again.” - Jen Lee
Man, I can’t wait for the sequel.
jmdom What a show! Bobby and Kristen Lopez with @bwolfepack , Jonathan Groff, @andrewrannells Trey Parker, @joshgad , original cast of Avenue Q #lincolncenter #americansongbook #bookofmormonmusical #frozen #southpark #intransitbway #disney #avenueq
