4:22 The character wants to be free to express herself, chooses her own path for herself by stepping away from the kingdom she was raised to rule and the way she was raised to act, and does whatever she wants for the first time in her life. It's really simple storytelling, Wallace. It's literally written to be so simple that a three year old could understand it. She's letting go of the societal expectations that she has been burdened with and allowing her true self to shine through (represented by the ice she's repressed.) She's not "giving into her curse," as you put it, she's choosing to embrace her gifts that she was told to hide away inside of herself for the benefit of the kingdom and the royal family.
Women should get more rights and freedom
@@giggityking6505 when a woman can work the same jobs, compete as = in same sports, have a dominant personality, and preach in church.... then yea! then they should have the same rights.. but its really only like 5% of woman that can do all these things... and the other 95% are the ones complaining and trying to piggyback off of the 5%, so if you want to be treated as = then earn it!!!!
@@pLayC And many don't want to get the jobs or reach the top to compete with those in power. They want the rights and the privileges without the obligations and the effort needed to reach there.
@@pLayC Ease up on those MGTOW forums, bud, you're sounding a little deranged.
@@user-jy4vt4gn1l i think the argument is more along the lines of positions of work. pLayC lost me with his argument lmfao but this whole argument that women are oppressed is simply untrue. They say men have privileges they don’t. True! And women have privileges men don’t. There is some disparity in life, but there is nothing limiting women from success today. Women are more likely to go to further education and have a higher graduation rate. They’re worked into every line of employment these days (minus dirty jobs, which are almost entirely populated by men). Where you work and what level you work determines your income. In the workforce, men are “paid more” because there are more men than women in higher earning brackets. This has continued to change with time though. People fail to recognize that and it creates an argument about the man and how it isn’t my fault I’m unsuccessful, it’s the system! It’s not. And that’s a great thing to hear. It’s all up to you! Gotta make your time worth it.
If I didn’t already love Idina Menzel before this…. What a talent. What a sweet human being.
I think people commonly misunderstand what let it go is truly about, So let me explain it. She’s talking about letting go of what makes her unique and special, and really embracing who she is, and being her true self. It’s not a curse, it’s a blessing. And I don’t feel like she’s “locking herself in a ice castle” she’s thinking if nobody is going to expect me for me, then I’ll run into the mountains and be alone and free. The loneliness is the price she’s willing to pay to be free. Also idina is the absolute purest soul ever!!!
Yeah. She definitely has had experience with awakening to ones true nature herself. It's all over the songs "into the unknown" and "show yourself" as well.. it's pretty direct pointing.
As a Disney fan since 1951 (Yes 1951) I loved this movie and the songs and I am going on 77 yrs old.
Disney is an evil company.
…Chris Wallace being the only person to not get Let It Go and thinking its a negative song about giving into a curse is so deeply ancient and out of touch with reality
It was awkward to watch that part!
We don’t deserve Idina Menzel, such an inspiring, one-of-a-kind talent! Elsa is my favorite Disney character 🎉
Lol, at least you didn't screw up her name as bad as Travolta
She’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
@@snoski lol thanks for letting me know, I didn’t notice. Stupid auto correct ✅😂
@@Jonathanest90s she seems nice 👍
Idina Menzel is easily one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
She almost had it figured out by isolating in a castle- but that was avoiding not confronting your problem. Her sister was able to tell her the fault in her solution.
He doesn't get it because he's probably never had to deal with the judgmental press of opinions that women have to deal with constantly. How we dress, how we act, makeup, no makeup, shave your legs or don't, everyone from family to total strangers is always willing to pass judgment on us and many of us think locking ourselves into an ice castle would be way better than walking down a street in public being shamed by random passersby.
Sounds absolutely spot on.
Honey that's BS, Disney is creating I guess to encode your brain with woke crap, what you're talkin about is ancient history, culture is doing just fine with respecting women, it's a radical left that want you carry on a myth so they can f with your mind,
When you miss the point of the movie
I'm surprised at all the trolling in the comments. As a 1st grade teacher in Asia, Let It Go was a gift. One of the other teachers taught his class the words and meaning of the song. This inspired one of my students to ask me to teach them the song. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? A child asks to be taught something! I'm not sure why little girls had to watch the movie 50 times, but in my class it only gets played in January - saved my sanity. 🤣
define trolling? do you mean comments not agreeing with ur view/opinions? or those just making out they disagree to cause hurt or intent to cause trouble
Because 99% of claims of trolling are simply people just having another opinion
some would call my comment trolling... when simply asking a question in good faith
@@nigget-tv-videos4135 You have every right to make good faith questions.
It's one thing to connect emotionally with adults, but when you can connect with children you have done something truly magical.
Love it, even the awkwardness this is wholesome and needs to be talked about as it was! Communication is honesty!!
I think it's about being true to yourself and not letting people and things compromise your dignity. Haven't seen the movie, never heard the song.
I remember when that first came out every little kid in my neighborhood was singing that song over and over I got to admit it is very catchy🤔
She went from playing a supporting antagonist on Enchanted to being the voice of a Queen on another Disney film and becoming a household name wow!
The little Ukraine 🇺🇦 girl, who sang the song for her fellow bomb shelter mates, inspires hope and impowerement for all.
- Slava Ukraini.
So glad to see someone else remember that sweet angel! Hope her & family are still ok. She was so preciousness
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇸
everyone supporting Ukraine (i do) after Russia invading them on made up lies... and want Putin etc held accountable... but say nothing about there own politicians like Pelosi, Bush who lied to invade a nation..are 2 faced! and the reason why other nations and its people see the USA as 2faced too.
@@MsTMarie83 She got out of Ukraine shortly afterwards with her mom and brother, she even appeared on some British show before Christmas.
She probably has my favorite Broadway voice ever! You know it when you hear it!♥️
Really? I’ve always found it shrill. It was perfect for Wicked, but an odd choice for Elsa. And then the end when she holds that long note, Omg it was like a scream. I think the music saves that song. The PERFECT Broadway voice for me is Lea Solanga (Jasmine’s singing voice in Aladdin)
Frozen is one of my favorite Disney movies
Same here. One of the best Disney films of 2013
I would say she doesnt "lock herself away in her ice palace" but she escapes a society where she was literally locked away to hide herself, and now she's free and she's creating her own world where she doesn't have to hide anymore
To me it's about 4 things you pass through in life as you grow psychologically: open up/engage, experience, accept and letting go. I think Elsa as a kid opened up to her sister, had a hard experience. At some point she had enough, was stuck, then she accepted her situation and let it go. If you get stuck at any of the four phases you stop growing. By realising things, having the courage, the anger to break through barriers you can go through to the next phase and let it go and be open for a new experience and the cycle continues. Yes, this goes sometimes with some fireworks, some people around you may get hurt, but it's for each a normal process.
Well I guess while recording let it go, Idina wanted the music producers to "let some things go". Love Idina she has the voice of an Angel. Let it go is a masterpiece in its own right.
I cannot say that I do not disagree with you.

She handled this interview well
Wallace...locking herself in an ice castle is good for her, because there she is free and she wont hurt anyone. It may not work for everyone but in her case she is afraid. This fear was put into her by the Troll and her parents that separated her from her only sister and tried to make her control her gift instead of loving her for who she is, cause her parents were afraid too. Isolation was "her" solution after years of suppression.
However I do get what you are saying, I too found that (although the movie is good) both were isolated from each other and the world around them.... Like why wasnt Anna allowed to have friends and play outside the castle? That part never made sense to me tbh, so I find it interesting that you question why is her being isolated in a castle good, but not question why were they both isolated from the world when only one had powers.
My daughter loves her voice, so she is the hero. 😊
First person to win an Oscar as two people.
I think Defying Gravity is her biggest hit. Let It Go just boosted that.
Let It Go is just Defying Gravity, Part 2.
Im not sure how millions of parents think of this song,lol. But all of mine n the Mrs grandkids LOVE IT. Have for years.
Frozen is a Disney classic
Yep. Exactly
Disney is a disgrace
This year the movie will turn 10 then it will be a classic.
Loved her on Glee!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
cnn coming in with that hard hitting journalism.
Wow that's some hard-hitting journalism right there, Chris. LOL
This format reminds of Larry King.
When an entitled, privileged old man is pushed to interview someone smarter than him...🙄
Austin Texas TX.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why is he grilling her like that on the plot? She didn’t write the dang script. She’s an actress and singer.
Here we go 🎻!
not the “at the start rate John?”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 0:36
Beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman.
You think a man in a dress is a woman
@@scabcrawler632 you just said its a man?
So where is Adele Dazim now? 😁
Chills……..literally…..😊
I love the editing
Major change. They took the song up a Major 3rd.
That's a veeeeery interesting interview !!! Nice take Chris, thanks CNN to make this conversation possible !!!!!!!!!
Time to retire Chris. Geezus. I loved it when Idina smacked back at him saying he is telling her the plot, like she doesn't know it already. I've never been a fan of Chris Wallace and his interviewing style. He still tries to be like his father, and he isn't making it. So Chris, let it go.
1:08 she came in and came 3:32 then she came upstairs too
It’s amazing to me how cnn takes things out of context to create their own narrative…. Even in a kids movie….. who said she “locked” herself in the castle? Locked would be the most significant part of that. She made a castle because she feels like a princess once she’s expressed her inner power.
Interesting interview. When reading the entire lyrics I understand "let it go" and as a more positive approach to getting on with one's life and keeping one's humanity than the other options noted in the song that are locking others out and not caring; both of which are negative approaches. Sorry I haven't seen the film but it may add more context.
Nice. Elza changed the song. I dont Remember the pressent.
I think Chris does a great job in these interviews. I like him doing the news, but he's also great as an interviewer. You can tell he's well researched and also is legitimately interested in the people. I laughed out loud to his response about whether he's screwed up names before.
Watched it with my kids when it came out, and it was the 1st time since lion king that I felt the emotion of the character so well, I loved it! She locks herself up, at the beginning of her empowerment and new life with freedom, because it took her time to become completely free and comfortable in the open... 🙄😉😃✌
Not sure if Chris is being contrarian, playing devil's advocate (as would any good journalist/interviewer)or genuinely "doesn't get" 'Let it Go.' Another commenter accurately pointed out that the song and plot of the movie are intentionally written in such a straightforward manner so that children as young as three years old can understand them. Perhaps he is overthinking it? The only thing I didn't understand was why HE couldn't understand it. LOL
I love her
Chris Wallace in CNNs basement covering the important stories
Every time I see this guy do an interview or comment on the news station, I think of his father. What a great man what an immense talent. And then I think back to this guy… I don’t even remember his name… All I know is that he can’t hold candle
💙
Idina Menzels Mrtz.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This song has inspired so many LGBTQIA+ kids to embrace and be themselves. Music is healing, music is empowering, and music survives the attempts of those to muzzle those kids who want to be themselves.
Made my kid wanna be a bird. Now he lives in our tree and flies to school. It’s so inspiring.
😳
No stop this toxic
Not just the queer people, but people with disabilities as well.
Adele dazeem 🙂
Its giving girls motivation to let their girls be themselves even if it means let the feeak flab fly.
" Trump's going to prison "
🎵 Let it go, let it go 🎵
I heard that if you talk about electrical magnetic signals that they put you on a watch list, so couldn't someone talk about it on purpose and send them to any location in Amerikka and gun them down? Sounds stupid to me lol welcome to the war on terror. Lol
She wanted a loud fart SFX after "Let it go!" but they refused 😔
Ok. It’s official. Chris has lost the plot!
I’m just a simple man hearing from God you do as you feel!
It is coming! How can you deny it?
So a boomer doesn't "get it"? Dude, you're generation can't even figure out self-checkout. It's probably too much for you.
Bad news day???
Frozen 3
How sad chris Wallace must be. Lol. He has fallen so far.
We need major change on velma. Holy crap its horrible
I feel the very same way as Chris Wallace about this song! It's funny!
this is CNN.. derp
Hikomori kids lock themselves in rheir house
Kinda awkward
But… all I see is Adele Dazeem. Am I missing something? 🤷♂️
Why isn't this airing on CNN+
POND5
I Absolutely Love Frozen ❤️ 😍
sheri and shellee mCcoy kea
what a clickbait title
She must’ve heard before she sounds like a smoker a lil bit. I’m glad she’s on a healthy path but I do hear a bit of it. She is beautiful & has an amazingly pretty voice. It blows me away how many professional singers are smokers though.
Bahaha Chris Wallace is a nobody
You see how the word is going how can it get better?
Which word are you talking about?
C-SPAN SWAMP RIGGED CALLS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh they challenge the Let it Go singer but not any of the politicians or policies being passed in the United States. Interesting.
She's from rent
❤
yeah... no
If yt is deleting it is still being recorded!

I have heard so but I still love disney movies when Walt Disney was still a live. I don't run the company. There are a lot of Evil People and Evil companies in the world. It's always been that way.
To woke idiocracy you have 8 seconds to let it go lol
Not of me But the Holy temple and Spirit!
One of the most annoying songs ever! This comes from a father!!!!
I think the that is the most disturbing and disgusting and uninteresting crap that Disney has put out lately. I assume that it's Disney.
Wow look how far Chis has fallen from the days of rigging debates.
Money sings
that song suck on so many levels
