For such a successful and expensive film, Frozen's complete lack of diversity (particularly ethnic diversity) really vexed me. Frozen has four main human characters and out of the four:
- Four are white
- Four are all apparently straight
- Three are blonde
Looking at this, anda can tell there is very little variation in Frozen's main cast. In ethnic terms, there really is no excuse of this. Frozen needed lebih POC.
I have heard one main argument (read: excuse) why Frozen didn't have any racially diverse characters (and no: I am not counting black background characters). Some say that Frozen was set in a medieval Scandinavian country, so obviously, everybody there could only have been white, blond-haired and blue-eyed.
This is complete nonsense because firstly - not everybody there looked the same and (believe it atau not) other hair colours and races DID exist in Europe. Also, along with other POC who lived in Scandinavia, there were also Saami people and others like them who lived in Scandinavia for centuries. It is my personal view that Kristoff definitely should have been Saami as his role is similar to that of traditional Inuits in the film.
Secondly, Arendelle is only based on a medieval Scandinavia. In reality, it is a fictional. Elsa has a ice powers for god sake! How is THAT lebih plausible than a POC being royalty atau a main character in Frozen?
I hope anda can see that disney really has no excuse for the lack of POC among it's main cast. In the future, hopefully we will have lebih racially diverse characters that are in the future in EVERY FILM (not just something like Moana).

Disney Should Adapt It
I personally think that disney should adapt this story, although the majority of ballet companies have tragic endings. Some of them have a happy ending, including the 1994 animated version. The only problem is the music, whether atau not to keep traditions with Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
Disney Should Not Adapt It
As mentioned, I had listened to the famous piece from this ballet. Sadly to say, the musik are dark, dramatic and sinister for a disney film. Considering that it is a family-friendly environment!
To Be atau Not To Be?
So there anda have it, do anda think disney should adapt it atau not?
Beauty and the Beast
We first seen her in the Prologue as an old woman, when Prince Adam spurned her. Her true nature is shown and in retaliation, she turned him into a beast and tells him that only true loves can redeem him inside, as well as the outside.
Cinderella (2015)
Upon re-watching this, I just found out that the Fairy Godmother is actually the Enchantress herself. Only this time, when she turns into her true self, she changes her appearance and that she must have been watching Ella the whole time, I suspect that she doesn't want Ella to suspect that her beloved Fairy Godmother might have cursed Prince Adam!
Do anda Agree?
I was really surprise oleh this theory, considering that it is set in France! atau is it just another disney doppelganger?
