    Frozen.

    “Let It Go” is a banger and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

      Does anyone say otherwise? I feel like everyone agrees its a banger. There’s a few other good tracks as well.

      The funny thing is, the song kind of ruined the movie. Hear me out.

      Originally the movie was based off of The Ice Queen, the old children’s story. And the first act of the movie kind of stays true to that - Elsa runs away and she’s going to be the villain of the story (and hot take but i think the first act of Frozen might be the strongest of any Disney movie, its up there at least imo).

      But Let It Go was so compelling and sympathetic that it wins you over, which is a problem because now the audiance is pulling for the (soon to be) villain. So they basically had to rewrite the rest of the movie with a kind of weird fakeout villain, and Elsas arc is actually sort of backpeadaling away from the message of Let It Go, which is about never going back and leaving everything behind. As a result the movie is pretty messy in my opinion, although still fun for the animation and music.

        I honestly haven’t looked but I feel like I’ve a few downvotes on this one.

        Fascinating learning on The Ice Queen and follow on and I fully agree on the disrobing of the villain with that moment.

        For what it’s worth, I know all the words to Let It Go and there is zero shame for me on that front. It has been banged out in our car well over a hundred times.
