NEWS: Frozen Home Video Tops Evangelion, Spirited Away's All-Time Records With 1.5 Million in Japan

I'm all for the success in Japan if it means scaled figures and doujinshi at Comiket. But I don't think it's quite caught on with otaku yet, since the pixiv art is either all westerners or Japanese artists who mostly do the cutesy western style.

Talking out of your ass eh ?
The amount of shit western fans will throw on the japanese when a western animation film does well over there (and gets more sells than the oh so godly acclaimed ghibli studio films) is frankly speaking pathetic to the extreme.

Doujinshi though you can just forget about. Disney wont be hiring anyone for that and the fact there's zero stuff despite how huge it is kinda shows it's not popular with the anime audience.

I dunno how attractive they actually think the Disney girls are compared to anime girls.

JOr they may see something besides beauty that's skin deep.
Better question is, wonder if anime fans can appreciate girls who are not attractive?

Oh please, Tumblr and paheal are filled to the brim with Frozen smut. Let's not even try to imply the Frozen fanbase is above such things.

I really don't understand the runaway success of Frozen. It's a good movie, but it's not exactly great either. Personally, I found Tangled to be far superior in pretty much every way.

I liked frozen but I feel kinda pissed cus its nowhere near as good as spirited away.

I'm basically in the same boat. I haven't seen these movies, but I've always been inclined to watch Tangled at some point. Nothing about Frozen made me want to watch it.

Regardless, I'm not too sure on what the appeal is, though. They all seem to be standard Disney movie material, so I don't quite know why Frozen is blowing up like it is. Although, I do have a good excuse to see it, since my three-year-old niece loves Frozen, so I could just watch it with her the next time I come for a visit. My brother-in-law would probably appreciate it since he wouldn't have to watch it with her again for the umpteenth time.

Tangled was so much more engaging, emotionally.

You can view it however you want, but you are just making up your own definition of "hype."
Those people are not buying the videos because they want to make you think that the movie is good. They are buying the videos because they think that the movie is worth having.
That is not hype.

Yeah, all these people are going gaga over this film that's not worth it. That's being overrated. The hype surrounding this film was for nothing. Hence it was OVER-HYPED.

I've been told to watch this movie by a few people. The 3 same reasons were given:
- It looks beautiful
- Great soundtrack
- The whole spoiler[girl saves the other girl/sisterly love] angle

But, unfortunately, those 3 points aren't "selling points" for me.

That last point doesn't bother me, in the sense that I don't care about spoilers. They knew that going in, so it is no big deal for me. I know that some people hate being spoiled. I've had things spoiled for me many times, and it doesn't seem to take any of my enjoyment away.

It's great that it has had a lot of success, even in Japan. The thing that I've gotten out of the discussions about Frozen is this - I should check out Tangled.

I think it's more that authors and artists know if they ever published a Disney doujin. Disney's got the where-with-alls to smack them with a lawsuit right quick as soon as it was discovered. None of the other usual suspects have that power so have to deal with it.

Or maybe you should watch both, selling points or not (also, those 3 are not the only reasons why Frozen is so great), since these are completely different movies with completely different purposes.
