Let It Go: A Quick Academic Analysis of Disney's Frozen

Frozen has been enormously popular right from its opening weekend in theaters, and its pervasiveness and influence have only grown. Why does this movie resonate so effectively with audiences? In an attempt to answer that question, this book examines the movie from multiple angles: its theme of isolation, the status of femininity, its targeting of young girls specifically, and even its appeal to the LGBT community. The book also includes the complete text of Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen story, which was the original inspiration for Frozen (although much of the plot is different). This unofficial book has not been authorized by the Walt Disney Company.
