In a blog post, Mayim Bialik announced that she hates Frozen. Mayim is currently on CBS’s Big Bang Theory, but has a long legacy with Disney. She appeared in Touchstone Pictures Beaches as well as starred in Touchstone Television’s Blossom. The reasons she lists for hating the film are:
Plot/Feminism?
Sure, it’s sort of hidden, but the search for a man/love/Prince is still the reigning plot line in the movie, as it is with pretty much all movies for young people which are animated. The sister’s desire to marry this guy she just met, and the other sister getting mad at her–we still have a plot about the identification of a woman being based on her desire and search to meet a man.
Denoument/Male Bashing?
Denoument is French for the unfolding of a story–the final unraveling, as it were. What happens in “Frozen”? The Prince/hero turns out to be a scheming villain. He pretended to love her and then he double crosses her and she gets the lesson taught to her not to trust those nasty scheming conniving men. Because you know, men can’t be trusted? Meh.
3. Women as Dolls?
OK, my biggest problem with this movie was the way the female characters are drawn and animated. The male characters look like cartoon men. They have some exaggerated features, sure. But by and large, they look like they have the proportions of human beings.
Do you agree with this former Disney star?
