Frozen has broken the ice~

So I just browsed a few articles about Disney's latest CGI movie, Frozen, after seeing a friends artwork, about people suggesting the main conflicted-"villain", Elsa, could easily be gay lol. And that the movie itself was clearly a story about coming out and such..... I haven't SEEN the movie myself yet, so I have no idea what all the "hints" and hidden meaning stuff is about, ha. BUT from what I've read so far............... yeah. It seems to resemble the story of a gay person very closely. And I can totally see LGBT's relating to her and feeling her pain of hiding something that she was simply born with.

The idea that Elsa has this HUGE secret within her (which, lets be honest, we ALL have some form of secret right? especially from our family or friends or yeah, even siblings...) is clearly a universal thing!! The point OF such a character is for many people to relate to her. I related a LOT to Rapunzel, with her need to get out and explore the world and just live but feeling somewhat trapped by something/someone. The recent (namely CGI) Disney movies have SUUUUUCH an epic complexity to them now!! Which is AMAZING <333

But lets face it, after the epically incredible Shrek and Ice Age series' from Dreamworks, Disney NEEDED to up their game and bring more story, emotion, personality, depth and modern-world relatable-ism(?) to their movies~~~

2D vs 3D?

I was CERTAINLY confused and surprised when I first heard/saw Tangled...... I was all "WTF DISNEY?? Go join the endless herd of CGI laziness will ya?!!" HAHA, but oh well~ CGI truly looks incredible and realistic and dynamic!!! As much I seriously miss classic hand-drawn toons, yeah, CGI has it's pros~~

CGI = Laziness?? Lol yep. As far as I know/have seen, once the models are made (which could take months, fair enough) they simply move them around via a digital skeleton, like a dolly really o3o and they move the cameras around them and such. Soooooo, in other words, once everything's made (characters, environments, objects etc.) it's your PLAYGROUND!! 8D you can move and operate anything and everything within the epic digital world you've created!!!
Errrrrrr, wait. Am I pro or con here?? XD

Well, the idea of having everything made and ready to use IS extremely handy and awesome........ hell, it's tempting me to learn to make models on Blender simply so I can move characters around and don't have to draw nothin' 8D *slapped*

Oooooooon the other hand, hand-drawn animation; every angle, every detail, every backdrop, looks freakin GORGEOUS <333 and shows true artistic skill~~~ But alas, as pencil fades out and computerness fades in, what do you expect? XD Disney to forever make 2D toons?? I'm not even sure which I prefer now.............. Princess and the Frog looked so so beautiful ;;3;; BUT I think a mix of 2D and 3D is the possibly the best!!!

One of my ALL TIME fav 2D/3D mix movies ever has to be Metropolis <33333333333333 I have insane amounts of love for that movie *_____________________* (it inspired my TROBOS actually >u<) don't give a sh!t if it's classed as "anime" IT'S EPIC. SCREW YOU HATERS 8'D
It looks breath-takingly mind-blowingly Ah. may. Zing <33333







Soooooo, in conclusion? (Though I started talking about Frozen and ended up talking about animation style coz I'm hopeless like that 8D *slapped*) Frozen is possibly a ground-breaking Disney movie that I must see soon coz it might change society and everything <333 (or people just assume everything as hidden meanings and stuff these days X'D errr) and 3D BGs with 2D characters looks beyond gorgeous holy crap ;;;u;;;

Yeah. I have opinions on TV show/Movies/Games and I need to somewhere to vent them so, this blog it is X'D
