      I. Postscript on Disney: Elsa in Frozen is hugely popular (more than her sister) because she is evil queen made more sympathetic.

      III. I don't want to generalize to all kids but my daughter loves evil characters, particularly evil women. Movie has to have evil.

      IV. With Elsa we have a wicked queen/witch who we can fully identify with. No wonder she's so beloved.

          @HeerJeet (1) At Thanksgiving my twin nieces were citing the law of turns (para 1 subsec 12: mommy says) in order to see who was Elsa today

          @HeerJeet The main song really changed the writers portrayal of her character from the original storyline.

          @HeerJeet (2) Sister-in-law marveled that a full year later they were still obsessed. No other Disney Princess had stuck so thoroughly.

          @HeerJeet Except she's completely unwicked. Without her (tenuous!) predecessor "wicked" would never enter anyone's mind.

          @HeerJeet Srsly there isn't anything she does in the whole film that is not motivated by love and the fear of/determination not to hurt Ana

          @HeerJeet also, she gets to hang out solo in a rad castle, and not have to go thru cheesy love story. #singleprincessftw

          @HeerJeet there are still tonnes of problems here, & w/Disney in general, but it's a small positive step.

          @HeerJeet Elsa is the perfect tween girl heroine, throwing off 'feminine' restrictions to let her full hormonally-fuelled power rip.
