Frozen

AnaïsAugust 7, 2014

Frozen is one of my favorite disney movies. my favorite characters are Olaf in first because i find him cute and it's a funny character, with Anna in second position because i love her courage and his adventurous side for find his sister,Elsa,which, it failing to control his powers, had to flee the kingdom of Arendelle after having plunged the kingdom in an eternal winter. I also like Elsa and his magic to create snow and ice. The song "Let It Go" was nominated for the Golden Globe for best song for originale3 its original version, together with the Oscars in 2014, where the song won an Oscar for best song originale4.
