Let the storm rage on... a little bit longer

So, I finally caught up with Disney's Frozen.

As a Disney fan, I felt it was a bit flat compared with Tangled, but I thought it grows on you on a second viewing.

It needed more time.  Not in terms of being a longer film, but in terms of letting the story play out over a few more days.

Disney seems to be doing a thing lately where everything happens so quickly that most of the events of the film end up occurring over one or two days.

Maybe I've just been brainwashed by things like the Narnia books, but I like to think an "infernal, unnatural Winter" should last for more than a couple of hours before people start panicking and talking about saving the kingdom.

And a "quest" to find a missing ice queen with magical powers could potentially take more than 24 hours.

And did anyone else noticed that Anna basically fell in love with someone she just met (two different 'someones') twice in less than 48 hours - even though the second guy made a point of stating that love doesn't actually work that way?

All I'm saying is:  give it a week.  Maybe even two.

Give the ice queen a day or so of running off into the woods before deciding This Winter Must Be Stopped!  I'd like a bit longer, actually, but a couple of days is better than a couple of hours.

Give the questing heroes a few days together to get to know each other before the trolls try to marry them.

Let the devious prince have a bit longer to convince the kingdom he's a good substitute for their own royals.

It's not too much to ask, is it?

On an unrelated note:

Okay, I know I've spent too long as an undergrad studying literature and media studies, where they force you to notice and comment on these sorts of things, but...

That "Let it Go" musical number, where the frigid ice queen sings about trying to control her emotions and be a "good girl", but now she's just going to let the storm inside her rage - letting down her hair, changing into a slinky dress and sashaying around the place?

Seriously, dude, if no one has written a book about the symbolic representation of women's sexuality in Disney's film already - they will now.  I'd be very surprised if this movie doesn't end up being a staple of undergraduate film studies, purely for this reason.
