Saw Frozen. Much feminist...very white.

Hans missed a trick, though. He shoulda kissed Anna, said they shouldn't expect her recovery to be instantaneous, locked her in the room with the fire burning, and gone off exactly as he did in the movie. With Anna still convinced Hans was a good guy, the movie would have ended very differently.

Maybe it's just me setting my standards low, but that totally didn't bother me for two reasons:

1. It seemed like actual Saami people worked on the film-- at the very least, it's a Saami composer who write that intro music. I'm SO glad that they actually consulted real-life people behind the scenes that I can't find it in me to be too mad at the whiteness of the film.

2. The background POC kind of indicated to me that the society is fairly racially-integrated. The character of Kristoff was particularly interesting to me, because while he doesn't necessarily look ethnically Saami, it seems like he was raised in a Saami community (his clothes and profession, etc). I kept thinking of the work of Caribbean theorists about race relations (Edouard Glissant and relation and Chamoiseau, Bernabe and Confiant and creolite). There are multiple ways to theorise race.
