My question... Who cares? Lol
Frozen was over-rated, the songs were weak and uninspired and people are really trying to shove it down everyone's throats to make it into something it will never be. You can disagree or agree to disagree, but you won't change my mind. I have some of the most desirable Frozen pins that have been released as well because some are beautiful, but very few interest me; I honestly have them just because of the hype and knowing the demand is so great may help me acquire some of my other most wanted pins. I know for a fact, the hype will eventually die down...call it psychic ability or plain intuition lol. If they continue to manufacture as many pins as they've been making, they will become less sought after. "Enchanted," for example, is a different story; using real people requires Disney to pay royalties any time pins are made in the likeness of real people. Hence, why there are so few pins making them extremely sought after (even a crappy little single posted mini-marquee). That doesn't seem to be happening with frozen as it was released within the last 2-3 months and there have been almost 2 dozen pins made already.
Furthermore, I don't know why most of you collect, but I am not now nor have I ever been a completist of any movie. Why? Because some pins are just awful looking or have no correlation to a film whatsoever. I collect pins that call to me, pins that have an artistic quality and beauty to them. Not because of their value or because someone else says it's going to be hot. There are no other reasons why people collect frozen other than the fact that they think it is extremely valuable or collectible at the moment. Let's be real...the movie stunk! The only half decent character was Elsa and Olaf was ok. Love interests in the movie sucked and real villains were lacking. The fact that critics had the audacity to compare "Beauty and the Beast" to a movie like this amuses me. BATB is the one and only Disney animated feature film, to date, to have been catagorized among other live-action movies for the catagory of Best Picture at the academy awards.
Frozen is most certainly not "Best Picture" material...that's a joke. Maybe, had critics and others not tried to exceed the hype and told it how it was...a decent movie, with a decent cast and OK plot...than people would have liked it more, but the fact that it's blowing up with no ground to fall on tells me...this is a very short lived investment for many. Think about it...how many "snow-themed" or "winter-themed" movies keep steady in the box office? NBC? Ice Age? NBC is really a Halloween movie and Ice Age, although popular, can't compare to Disney's weakest releases. So....I guess time will tell, but my bet is that it will never be as big as Tangled or The Little Mermaid or The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast. You are talking about classics that had amazing collaborations with Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and even Elton John!
Stop trying to make Frozen happen Gretchen...it's NOT going to happen!
So I have no interest in it, as all of my collection pins are displayed off their cards.
