But I agree that it's a good film, even though there are some bits that I personally cringe at, it was a great ride and a good story.<br />But you're very right in that Brave is a Pixar movie, moreso than Tangled, but I'm more critical of Tangled just because although I like Tangled more, I believe it has more flaws.Matthew A.J.

That's one of ...Exactly! That voice is amazing.<br />That's one of the reasons I don't understand the obsession with parodies and covers, Nothing truly compares to Idina Mendzel's portrayal of Elsa (not even Ms Mendzel herself, singing live). That mature, deeper, ever-so-slightly husky voice, with so much power behind it. There's a reason they chose someone who was previously the Wicked Witch of the West (in Wicked), she sounds like she's on the cusp of villainy, it's perfect casting.Matthew A.J.

That reprise also shows ample character development, of Anna finally thinking of her sister's well-being and realizing that Elsa needs love and support. It's a shame that "Love is an Open Door" doesn't get a similar reprise, because Frozen needed a musical finale to make it perfect as an operetta, but "For the First Time in Forever" certainly takes our breath away as we see Elsa's voice rise in timbre and pitch.
