Watching Frozen had a positive impact on me and my sister’s bond. While watching Frozen, I noticed how strong both Anna and Elsa’s bond is. They’re sisters but also best friends. Although this is a fiction tale, I see how this can create sibling bonds between siblings. There’s also a few scenes in this movie where I noticed it relates to my story with not only my sister but my mother as well.
I remember when I was a kid, I was so obsessed with both Anna and Elsa. I made my sister watch it with me and she also got into the same obsession. This movie caused us to get along way more than before. It made us roleplay as them everyday which is why we’re closer now and have a strong bond. We’ve never really played together when we were kids before watching this movie which is why I see the positive impact on us. This movie honestly inspired both of us to be closer than ever just to be like both Anna and Elsa. I do have another sibling which is a brother but we do get along slightly well but of course we both have different interests. Having my sister as my best friend is comforting because I know I can always count on her and I couldn’t ask for anything better.
One scene from Frozen that had an emotional impact on me was when Anna fell for Hans so quickly and so did he. Elsa was able to tell how emotionally attached her sister was. I remember this scene so well just because recently, I had a similar experience. I had started talking to someone and immediately rushed into a relationship. My mom knew about this and she also told me it’s not a good idea. I chose to not listen to her and later on in the relationship I realized how rushed we were due to the fact I truly didn’t know him. We didn’t match each other’s standards, I thought I found someone that I was interested in but the first encounter we had doesn’t mean we’re the same people and match each other.
No one really introduced this fairy tale to me, I just remember how popular it was and I would see a lot of stores having their toys and I loved them before watching them so maybe that’s what really got me to watching it. It was really me introducing this fairy tale to not only my sister but my family.
In Frozen, Elsa had powers but when she was younger she wasn’t really able to control it so her parents isolated her so she learned self control. Once she turns 18 she accidentally triggers an eternal winter in the kingdom. This has caused her to run away so she can be alone and protect others. Anna of course wouldn’t let her sister just leave like that. Anna and Kristoff did everything in their power to look for Elsa and tried helping her break her spell. Anna did have some help with her which was both Olaf and Kristoff. They all tried persuading Elsa to return back.
The moral of the story is to have courage and support others. Anna’s effort in bringing her sister back show’s the courage she has and with the support of both Olaf and Kristoff. Watching Frozen did in fact contribute to my literacy development because it made me engage with books more as well as fairy tales. Of course in this phase of mine, I strictly only had interest in fiction and fairy tale’s, but later on got more into documentaries and nonfiction. This helped me develop my reading skills. I learnt to pay more attention to small details because it can have small meanings and messages. Because of my obsession with books, I learnt to annotate more ,interact with others, and also engage with the text more. Because of me learning all this, it helped me understand things way better. This also helps me build some courage in general with my friendships and having my moms support. Now looking back at it, I can relate to this fairy tale with the scene of Elsa not accepting Anna’s relationship to protect her. My feelings towards this tale never changed, it’s still my favorite fairy tale and I’m really glad it helped me and my sister to become closer. This also helped me understand relationships more and why it’s wrong and to not be patient. I’ve never really had any animosity or bad blood with neither of my siblings, but this just created a bond and a spark between the two of us. My brother on the other hand, I always got along with him as well, but we do both have our own personal interests.
