Disney said "you're not getting out of one of our movies without seeing a few white people first"

5 minutes in I was ready to walk out of the theater and just wait till Coco came out on DVD

this is like if you went to a fancy restaurant to get a steak, but they forced you to eat 750 pounds of mcdonald's chicken nuggets before you were allowed to have what you really wanted

Look, I’m not saying I root for the wolves in the scene where the wolves chase Olaf. I’m just saying I don’t not root for them.

This is a 21 minute special.

There are 5 songs.

That's a song every 4.2 minutes.

Ask me if it flows well.

Ask me if multiple screaming kids behind me were yelling "MOM THIS ISN'T COCO WHATS GOING ON ARE WE IN THE WRONG MOVIE?!"

Ask if them yelling was so bad that one of the moms asked ME if this was the wrong film.

And THEN OLAF REFERENCES WHIPLASH.

HE MAKES A TEMPO JOKE.

OLAF.

AS JK SIMMONS.

SAYS "TEMPO" AS IF HE'S ABOUT TO THROW A SLED AT SVEN.

I'M NOT KIDDING.

Seriously there's no reason this wasn't a half hour special on ABC. It's even shown in a 720p aspect ratio. It looked fucking ridiculous.

This sucks.

WHY DO PEOPLE HATE ON THIS SHORT?! It’s so good! The music is so amazing, I love every one of them, it’s perfect.

It's cute, up until a certain point, but after the fifth song? I'd kill that snowman with my bare hands.

This should've just been a 20 minute ABC special.

God was it insufferable

Watching this while my house is smelling like plum syrup from my coconut flan was a vibe.

Honestly, the script isn't anything special, but it serves its purpose as a festive distraction. My main takeaway? Olaf is fun in small doses, but he becomes a bit annoying when he takes center stage as the protagonist for the entire runtime. He works best as the comic relief on the sidelines rather than the main event. Also, the reason for Elsa's emotional distancing in this one just isn't convincing—it feels like a forced way to create drama where there shouldn't be any.

Anna and Elsa: We have to launch a search party to find Olaf!

Me: Why would you not take this opportunity to let him die?

This film just showed me my favorite Christmas tree! Santa, I want that in my house now. And if you may, Elsa too.

Anyways, just wanna wish my letterboxd friends a very Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! 🎄⛄
