The Theory Of Magic

The Theory of Magic

Magic works a little differently in every fantasy universe. Some things are typically consistent however, like that magic follows emotion. Frozen definitely follows this but the Frozen universe also has some very unique elements to its magic.

Here’s the basic theory: Memory is magic and magic is powered by emotions and the memory of emotions. The two most powerful emotions are love and fear, but love is always strongest. Many emotions can fuel magic, but only love and fear can create life. This is shown by how Elsa creates life with her magic, both in Frozen and Frozen Fever. Magic and memory are inextricably intertwined.

I wrote this paragraph (inspired by Myth: A Frozen Tale) as a poetic version of my interpretation of the beginning of magic. It was intended to be a passage from Secrets of the Magic Makers.

“In the beginning there was memory. In the beginning there was magic. Magic flowed through the air, fire, water, earth. It danced on the glow of the aurora. It sang with the clouds painted by the setting sun. Magic and memory swirled together in an endless, beautiful harmony. And our world danced. And out of this magic was born life. Ahtohallan emerged from the sea, the perfect combination of magic and memory, uniting them and bringing spirit to the elements of nature, letting the world shine with life.”

I can hardly describe how much this movie has meant to me 🥹🥹

Wish Analysis Pt. 2/3

The songs in Wish felt very classic with a modern twist, which I loved. They somewhat followed the established “song formula” with Welcome to Rosas as the opening song, This Wish as the I-want song, This is the Thanks I Get?! as the villain song, and I’m a Star as the fun, upbeat “wake up song.” A couple of the songs were very unique though. At All Costs is really interesting as one of the few times the hero sings a duet with the villain (I think Love is an Open Door is the only other time?). In this song, Asha sings about protecting and following the wishes wherever they go, while Magnifico sings about holding the wishes and keeping them as his own. In addition, Magnifico is controlling the wishes and moving them around to create his view of perfection, while they are naturally flocking to Asha. And Knowing What I Know Now! This song, man, it was incredible. And very unique to have a power song for the heroes in a Disney movie. It wasn’t so much the “all hope is lost, but I’ll find the answers within” like I am Moana (although I do love that too), it was more of a “now is the time to fight back,” rallying song. And This Wish (Reprise) was beautiful! I was sobbing so hard. This was sort of a “all hope is lost, but I’ll find the answers within” song, but it was unique in the aspect that it brought everyone together and wasn’t just about the main character’s development. It was also unique that the song itself was the climax of the movie. It was so amazing, visually and thematically and musically and I just LOVE IT.
