But, popularity almost never reflects quality.

Pablo Picasso's Old Woman (1901)



Bouguereau's Meditation (1901)

Bouguereau's work was ridiculed as being old-fashioned by the art community of his time. It took half a century after his death for his sublime brilliance and mastery to be recognized (his works now fetching $10mil+)


Picasso, on the other hand, was highly regarded in his own lifetime and still is today -- even with stiff competition from similar works like:

LMAO. You think Frozen isn't quality?

I'll give it marks for quality in production (the snow simulations are impressive), but that's it. The movie is full of terrible plot holes, lazy writing, disjointed musical numbers, and obvious merchandising ploys (Trolls, anyone?). It's as though the film never made it past it's first draft before the Disney marketing team was given control of it.

'Tangled' was a far, FAR superior movie, in cohesion, writing, plot, artistry, an even *gasp* music (esp. when soundtracks are taken as a whole). Nice comparison HERE

It's one thing to favor Tangled over Frozen. I just might like Tangled more myself. But it's in the numbers and Frozen has been compared to Lion King in popularity. Because you don't enjoy it does not mean the movie is unsuccessful. It is truly a work of art. The amount of work put into the snow and ice is outstanding. The animation is beautiful (It's the same team that did Tangled and Wreck-it Ralph, after all) And the music is a sensation across the world. Not to mention "Let It Go" got an Oscar, and the entire soundtrack as a whole went thirteen non-consecutive weeks at number one. A record held by Titanic since 1998. I mean come on.

And man, I just noticed your sig now too. I hope you're not actually that conceited...
