Thanx! I have to admit I expected a lot from Frozen (because I like the Snow Queen too), but was really let down. There was barely anything that connected to it's original roots (save it be a snow queen, and a frozen somebody). It was a bit sad.
Are you going to enter this in the competition? It's reeeeally good! ;)

It went better than I thought, I made it a bit more simplistic so it kind of matches the fairy-tale story structure, but it has a bit of me-elements. So I'm glad it was good and friend-approved!

I know!!!!!!
I just think the plot lacked so much. Anna was supposed to be Gerda and Kai at the same time, and Kristoff was Robber Girl.... and Hans? I was like 'where did this guy come from?'
I've read a little about it, but in the websites I got it didn't give the similarities! I thought the whole thing was a bit outlandish. Disney has probably never heard of her story, they got their inspiration from NORWAY which is a mountain area (with villages, etc), but I did think the name similarities were funny (Hans and Cristof - who knew?)Needless to say, her book sounds interesting (I wonder if her Hans actually betrays her lol)
This would be a great entry!!! One thing: it has to be 5 paragraphs. Other than that, you're set!
I don't know.... Maybe it WAS at least 5 paragraphs, not at most... I'm gonna go check.
Okay, so actually it's AT LEAST 5 paragraphs, so you're fine :)
Eh, I'll probably condense a few things anyway, but it's a comfort to know I don't have to throw out all my little 'darlings' lol
OMIGOSH THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THAN MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
