They are going to wear what’s right for them and that’s pants.”įor Evan Rachel Wood, who joins for the sequel to play Anna and Elsa’s mother in flashbacks, it was a particularly welcome change-she made headlines for wearing an Altuzarra pantsuit to the Golden Globes in 2017 as a statement about gender norms. “The idea of Elsa and Anna wearing pants was more of a practical choice,” said codirector Jennifer Lee.
It’s not your typical princess movie and that’s what makes it even better.”Įlsa and Anna make another major change to the princess mold this time too: wearing pants. I personally think it’s way more important to expose kids to movies about familial love than romantic love. The movie’s theme of loving your siblings and loving yourself no matter what your differences are really resonated with me. “It’s all about familial love and how you can lift each other up. “In the first movie, the girls were metaphorically facing each other, and now they are facing out with the support of each other more than ever,” said Bell. She’s changing, and now that she gets to be herself, she’s trying to find her purpose.”įor Bell, Frozen II continues to break the mold set by other animated films by focusing on familial love and self-love instead of romance. She’s more mature and knows what makes her special and owns it. ”I love that Elsa now has a sense of pride about who she is and not apologizing anymore for her power. “Elsa is experiencing change, which is one of the big themes in the new movie,” Menzel said on the red carpet.
It represents her growing up and taking responsibility.” “And she takes her first step metaphorically and physically into a bigger world. “For the first time, Elsa gets to say what she wants in the song,” added co-songwriter-and Anderson-Lopez’s husband- Robert Lopez.
“The song plays a very important role in the movie. ”The song ’Into the Unknown’ forces Elsa to ask herself some important questions: Who is she and where does she truly belong,” said songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez on the red carpet outside the film’s Hollywood Boulevard premiere. The Frozen II version is “Into the Unknown,” a big emotional anthem that represents the film’s overall themes about experiencing and embracing change. And with seven new songs, it’s also doing what might previously have seemed impossible: debuting a power ballad to rival “Let It Go.” Premiering in Hollywood on Thursday night, Frozen II aims to replicate much of what made the 2013 Disney film such a global phenomenon, while bringing in bigger themes about maturity and adapting to a changing world.
