Disney Advent Calendar - Day 10
Posted by MeganL,
".....and the cold never bothered me anyway...."
Thanks to finding Elsa behind the door yesterday, I've had "Let It Go" as an earworm for the last 24 hours. Will the build today shake the earworm? There's only one way to find out.
Do the snowgies have a song? If memory serves, we don't meet snowgies in the movie Frozen, but later on in a different film. Anyway, getting back to today's build, it's a nice little piece consisting of a teeter totter, which the snowgie is clearly enjoying.
The colour scheme is very Frozen-like with blue and white, and there's a piece of ice on the side to remind us how cold it is.
We're almost halfway through the calendar, and while there are plenty of Disney scenes, I wish we'd see more builds reminiscent of the season.

I saw this as either a see-saw (which is fun. There's even room for Elsa on the other side) ... or a catapult for launching cheerfully-unstoppable snow golems at your enemies over their defenses. Which is a different kind of fun.

Great, now I have the image of hundreds of these being used as catapults during the siege of Minas Tirith in my head.
"You are soldiers of Gondor, whatever comes through that door you will stand your ground"
- Thousands of snow golems start raining from the sky.
Tired of let it go?
Don't worry!
Today it might stop!
Do you wanna build a snowmaaaan?
The Snowgies are from Frozen Fever, the short film that was in cinemas before the live-action Cinderella in 2015.
I love getting Snowgies, I am owning 25 now. What an army you can build for Marshmallow.
Definitely the standout calendar for me this year
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul

Why did I look... Now I'm also contaminated with this song
Is that frosty?
Today, we get Elsa’s snot.

All according to plan.

It came out in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_(2015_American_film) I haven't seen it, but according to the "Critical reception" section of that article, it's considered on of the best Disney live-action remakes.

"I see-hee we've gone-ho full Persona today."
Yes, but when can we ever expect Black Flost to get the minifig treatment as well?
...
I didn't say "flost."

No. NOOOOO!!!!

I would agree, it was definitely better than the original. It compares favorably to the other remakes, though that isn't a high bar.

I bought it to get Frozen Fever, and basically never touch that copy anymore because they also put the short on a compilation of Disney short films. For my money, Maleficent was the best live action remake of one of their animated features.

Does that extend to other bodily fluids? Is the explanation behind her ice powers that it's sweat, like Katara waterbending with her sweat in that one ATLA episode?
Seems like a gross joke theory, but Disney decided snowgies were a thing which has terrible further implications for Elsa. The trolls weren’t wrong that her powers were a curse.

They never got that deep into it. All we know is that if she catches the cold that does bother her, every time she sneezes…snowgies get everywhere.
Snow snot launcher that jives with the toilet paper catapult.
I love it when a plan comes together!
I was kind of disappointed that there wasn't a sloth on the other side of the see-saw

Wrong calendar! The sloths haven't strayed from the Friends universe in a while :-)
