Remember those jokes everyone was making about Avatar (2009)? About how it made a ton of money but had no cultural impact? Literally the only thing I remember about Frozen 2 on a regular basis is that the elemental spirits seemed random and inconsistent.
"Olaf is a Christ figure" gave me fucking flashbacks to my AP Lit in high school where 75% of the class was Christian in some form and no matter what book we were reading, inevitably someone's essay would be how a character was a Christ figure 😂
I recently graduated from a religious college where every class was like that, no matter the subject. I told myself it wouldn't be that hard, despite lacking the knowledge my classmates did since I've always gone to public schools and only went to church with family a few times. It was crazy how my classmates found a way to connect everything to the Bible, meanwhile as someone who isn't really particularly religious I was like -- yea I totally understand lol. I'm surprised I made it out of there with decent grades ngl
27:07 As someone who is an AVID lover of film score, the only leitmotif I could remember within Frozen 2 was that 4-note siren call. And the fact that it wasn’t integrated into the rest of the score *at all* just baffles me. I feel your pain here, my friend😢 And yes, all glory be to Sideways, the true King of the Leitmotifs🙌
to add to your last point: you are not a large corporation. criticisms of disney and their safe approach to art probably dont apply to you! you arent making art to appeal to every single person on the planet, or at least i hope you arent: youre doing it for you. if your art has your heart in it, you should be proud. it doesnt matter if it might align with something seen as generic or boring. if YOU made it with love and care, that love will shine through to those that matter
Your main thesis here is absolutely correct as someone who has listened to the soundtrack a million times I literally could not hum a single theme from it, while I absolutely could from the first film's soundtrack! Right before you started talking about the siren call, I was literally thinking "you know, it's weird that I don't think they ever use the siren call in the soundtrack! why didn't they use the siren call??" and then lo and behold! that section of the video began and you answered my question xD Ah, right, I got sidetracked--I wanted to say that your main thesis is absolutely correct, but the thing I wanted to comment on was your tangent about who the voice is. I've always thought it was strange and lame that the voice was Elsa's mother, it always felt off and Bad. It wasn't until this video that you finally verbalized for me *why* it felt so off. It should have been her own voice!! Thank you for that, it helped me figure out why that moment in the film landed so wrong for me.
I recommend the Frozen 2 documentary to anyone who wants to know what making a big budget animated film is like. I have no clue how it came out of the Disney Marketing Machine because it highlights the film’s flaws despite being framed as a celebration of its success. So you’re telling me that the score felt just as safe and unremarkable as the rest of the movie? WHAT A SURPRISE!
It took me SO LONG to get through that documentary. It really felt like a hostage situation, with a rifle trained on everyone at all times. Truly the stuff of nightmares
As a soundtrack enjoyer with apparently similar tastes, I am sat and ready to listen (also an enjoyer of the same pet groomer lmao) I recommend the soundtrack for andor, 1917, into the spider verse and across the spider verse, The soundtracks for season 9 and season 5 of Doctor who, chicken run, Gravity, Mad Max Fury road, gladiator, Stardust, Moonrise Kingdom, The Green Knight, The Boy and the Heron, and the very bad last airbender movie has an excellent score. I look forward to perusing your playlist 👍👍
This movie pisses me off for so many reasons. Here's just one of many of those reasons: It starts with Anna and Elsa's mother singing this wonderful song about the magical river holding the answers about the past - this is the beginning of the movie, the introduction song, telling us something about the world that we should know about. Magical river, cool, got it! The song is repeated a bit later - Elsa is singing it to Anna when they're adults, to comfort her. Okay, so this confirms that they still remember the song, and it's still relevant in their lives, cool, now it almost feels like a set up. And then, they get to the forest, and they're trying to figure out why the water/snow in the forest created the visions of the past. Well, logically, Anna and Elsa should have linked it to their mother's song, right? But no. They have no idea who the girl in the vision is (also seriously? They recognize their father, but not their mother, the person who looks exactly like them?), and then Olaf tells them the pseudoscientific explanation of how all water has memory, something he came up with five minutes ago, and they believe him, and they keep repeating the "water has memory" thing for the rest of the movie as if it was a big plot point, instead of what was set up at the beginning. The filmmakers decided that the siren's voice was going to be the mother, and they didn't even bother to keep her within the narrative! Absolutely baffling!
Insert black and white melted Garfield footage here (It was actually a lot less painful than I expected! In my experience, UA-cam tends not to catch these things when you keep them under nine seconds, at a low volume, and/or underscore them with commentary. The only part that gave me real trouble was the game section, since the music needed to be center stage.)
I know this was only posted around an hour ago but the quality of writing, editing and production in this video is absolutely top-notch and it inspires me. My wife and I rewatched both F1 and F2 back to back recently and the difference in storytelling quality and musical cohesion stuck out like a sore thumb instantly, I'm glad it's not just us who felt that way
This is so funny for a personal reason: I used Frozen 2's score for a snow themed DND campaign two years ago because it was so unobtrusive that no one would know (and made a mental note that the shepherd's call was never used.) AND STILL. That questionnaire I only got ONE SONG RIGHT. Also ALSO. I have to know if you enjoy or at least have heard of the big orchestral metal band Nightwish.
Honestly when you were talking about how some people find film score to be just background noise, I immediately thought of how to train your dragon and its immaculate score. That movies score had love and time put into it and you can FEEL it
i never liked that every frame a painting bit with the people on the street cuz at that point none of the marvel themes had ever been repeated in multiple movies, while the classic themes everyone recognized were all from major series that had had multiple movies with the same theme music. Like sure we all know the star wars theme and harry potter that weve heard thousands of times in a dozen movies, but i bet none of those people could sing the ET theme even though its great. And post Endgame i bet a lot more people could tell you the Avengers theme. So i guess the thing that might have made this score work better and feel more memorable would be work mostly with motifs created in the first movie (and if he was allowed to use the siren call smh).
Yeah, I could personally sing ET, but I maaaaaay be a bit of a Soundtracks Georg in that regard. There are plenty of films with exceptional scores that your average person wouldn't recall right away, and that doesn't necessarily speak to the quality of the music at all. I'm also confused as to why Beck didn't incorporate more of the motifs he'd already built up from the first film. I can't believe I've still never seen Endgame btw!
I remember the first and, so far, only time I watched Frozen II way back in college and since I was deep in a classic rock phase my first thought was “wow, I didn’t think a Frozen sequel would end on similar emotional beat as The Who’s Tommy.” Now whenever I hear someone bring up Frozen II I just think about Tommy and the image of a shirtless Roger Daltrey scaling a mountain. Also great to find a fellow “Horton Hears A Who” score enjoyer. We are truly a small branch on the vast beautiful tree of autism 😌
It kinda disappoints me when media I like has such a meh ost. Orchestra music is so good when done right, but unfortunately it’s used so generically when a sound cue needs to be met, and usually lacks any leitmotif that would bring some spice to it.
This video is a creative mood all around. Wonderful video. Always happy to see you upload. For music reccomendations specifically because of that horton hears a who song: you should check out the Lisa: The Painful soundtrack.
finally someone else with good taste that enjoys the horton score (i still remember being a kid and seeing that awesome noise machine the son of that one character made. the movie really is about sound in a way) also, of course another great video. your editing just gets better and better somehow.
These videos are above and beyond quality can you give us a rough estimate on when you will make another vid just curious when I will see another new video from you?
Aw, thanks so much! :D I wish I could give you an estimate! I'm currently juggling an I Like To Read comic and a video ad gig, so that probably won't leave much time for UA-cam for a while! UA-cam is just too unstable an income source to make it more of a priority right now (my last two videos haven't broken $250 in Adsense yet-whoopsies). I try to keep people somewhat updated on my Twitter (@squad_videos)!
haven't gotten to the Frozen 2 part yet and I'm so nervous lol. while I acknowledge it's a very messy and rushed movie with no clear plots or themes, Elsa has always been a character very dear to my heart and so I loved her story and songs in the second one purely because I got to see more of her. I'm sure your criticisms will be fair and accurate tho ❤️ edit: OH GOOD it's about the SCORE not the musical songs LMAO
Well I guessed 3/3 correctly on your quiz by knowing too much about Lord of the Rings, and thinking "what sounds the most like stock music?" Which I guess proves your point.

30:26 NEW TOM!! NEW TOM!!! Excellent video also, really dug into the topic in a way that felt thorough and fair, gave me a lot of appreciation for movie soundtracks when I figured they were always sorta “supposed” to feel like filler and I was weird for remembering any bits on my own!

@@The_Sin_Squad Of course! Whether there be TOM in the script, there will be TOM in the comments, taking in all the thought spirals and earnest feelings. (And for whatever it's worth, I really appreciated that ending message - helped inspire me to get to work on my own projects without too much self-discouragement. Thank you!)
If this video has taught me anything, it’s that Disney is the death of good film soundtracks. Thank god The Wild Robot came out so good, that movie’s soundtrack whips the ass of any modern Disney soundtrack.
man I hate the argument that "oh well music is just sound waves how can we judge them" because it's borderline incel "love is just a chemical reaction" ideology. not only does it devalue any efforts of artists (and probably could be attributed to a gross functionalism/facist root), it's just so dumb. it's like "oh all food tasting good is, it's just chemical reactions in our mouth" like alright then eat this moldy bread. it's just pompous weirdos who can't admit that there is a level of objective quality in every analysis and art, sure if you dilute every possible thing and analyze it from a cold robotic lens, it's just "a picture" or it's just "sound" but that's for dumb people who can't fathom giving credit where credit is due and criticism where criticism is needed. this is written in the wake of an awful discussion with my older brother about how I can't have an opinion on saltburn because I tapped out halfway and heard a synopsis on the rest. god forbid I did not eat the entire moldy sandwich and then get back to you on the fact it was bad.
I honestly don't know how fair is it to judge scores of actual musicals. I don't remember much of Frozen 2 score but I definitely remember at least several of the songs and listen to them quite often. Same with first part. I can't even remember a musical film where I care for the score not the songs.
I'm glad you asked! That's definitely next on my roster (even though it came in third place on the poll; I'm sorry friends who wanted a Cat Returns video first!). The real question is when I'll get the time to pursue another video project 🤞
19:25 this part feels kinda… weird. Tbh. It feels disingenuous. Because going back and watching the interview, he just says um, and then plays the song. The editing kinda implies that he just forgot, like as if the soundtrack is so bland the composer himself forgot the tune too. But he didn’t, he played gale’s theme I get it’s just a joke and the whole “I’m sorry Christophe” text over it kinda makes it less explicitly a jab, but still. My only problem with this is that it feels like it’s manipulating what actually happened to be at his expense. Which is especially weird considering the rest of the video sympathies with him and depicts him as an artist who couldn’t flesh out his music- which is true. So why have this in here? It’s just a weird hill to die on, when the point of the video is that the story of Frozen 2 is kind of the culprit, not the artist Regardless, very good video. I’m not coming after you or anything or the way you make videos. It’s just this feels weird
Oh shoot; I didn't realize I'd come across like that, but I see what you mean! The intent was to point out that /the interviewer/ didn't remember the motif. The apology was like, "I'm sorry you're being put in this position, Christophe Beck." (To be honest, the whole interview felt...weird to me. I hope Beck asked to take more of a backseat before the cameras turned on, because otherwise I think MacDougall really dominated the conversation.) Like MacDougall, I was very impressed with Beck's ability to rattle off all those themes at the drop of a hat! He obviously put a lot of time and care into this score. But I totally get how that segment of the video would read like a diss towards Beck. Apologies!
@@The_Sin_Squad ohhh I see. I can see how that was intended. I got a soft spot for any type of composer so maybe I just assumed that was the case. Thanks for clarification, I appreciate the nuance
Hello, I dont know if you'll read this message but i'd like to buy your book as hardcover but since i live in switzerland i can't find a place that sells it, would you be able to help in any way?
Not me having to stop dead what I’m doing to be sure this musical thesis video brought up GWTD and Spicy Mayo. 😂 I definitely understand why some on the team thought having the siren call in the score “might conflict” with the sound of the call diagetically in the story, but I’m pretty sure someone as skilled as Beck would have found a way to make it subtle but memorable at the same time. To not even give him the chance is why non-musical people need to sit on their hands and let the musical ones cook. Excellent video! ❤

Like MacDougall, I was very impressed with Beck's ability to rattle off all those themes at the drop of a hat! He obviously put a lot of time and care into this score. But I totally get how that segment of the video would read like a diss towards Beck. Apologies!
@@The_Sin_Squad ohhh I see. I can see how that was intended. I got a soft spot for any type of composer so maybe I just assumed that was the case. Thanks for clarification, I appreciate the nuance

Hello, I dont know if you'll read this message but i'd like to buy your book as hardcover but since i live in switzerland i can't find a place that sells it, would you be able to help in any way?
Not me having to stop dead what I’m doing to be sure this musical thesis video brought up GWTD and Spicy Mayo. 😂
I definitely understand why some on the team thought having the siren call in the score “might conflict” with the sound of the call diagetically in the story, but I’m pretty sure someone as skilled as Beck would have found a way to make it subtle but memorable at the same time. To not even give him the chance is why non-musical people need to sit on their hands and let the musical ones cook. Excellent video! ❤
Omg I get so excited when you post
