Fuck off, International Women's Day -- nm - con_carne Mar 8, 12:47
Kind of hard for all those dead moms to have dialogue. -- nm - Spawn Mar 8, 11:16 5
- And Disney tells stories of myth and legend. If there were such balance and equanimity in the world we wouldn't need to hear such stories. -- nm - con_carne Mar 8, 12:45
- true story - Andie Mar 8, 11:19 1
  - good point. its rough. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 11:29
- Dayum -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 11:18
- If only they had Force Powers -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 11:17
Stupid chart. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 8, 11:16
So the lesson is that if you want your movie in the top 2,500 US Box Office, you should probably have more men talk. -- nm - Baronan the Accuser Mar 8, 11:03
Men talk more than women in Frozen? -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Mar 8, 11:00 10
- (not having seen it) there are two female characters and they're separated for most of the movie. -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 11:38 6
  - Yes, but it's their story told from their perspectives. - David Mar 8, 11:40 5
    - And their interactions in those stories are all with men, so it makes sense. (BTW missing from the analysis - Lilo and Stitch) - Roger More Mar 8, 11:48 4
      - Also missing - Snow White, Cinderella, Tangled. -- nm - The Wardog Mar 8, 11:49 3
        
        Only the top 2500 US Box Office Grossing films were part of the overall analysis with the Disney stuff being a subset -- nm - JD Mar 8, 11:55 2
        
        Tangled is the 200th biggest movie Domestically ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 11:59 1
        
        Yep. L&S is #372 and Cinderlla is #199. Also they include Something Wicked This Way Comes, which is a weird choice being 30 years old and grossing $8M -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 12:12
- apparently. Stupid Olaf. -- nm - oblique Mar 8, 11:05 2
  - Cut off his snowballs. -- nm - Baronan the Accuser Mar 8, 11:07 1
    - that escalated quickly -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 11:13
