While this one is cute, it doesn't compare to the other two in my opinion.

I still don't understand why is says the queen of snow instead of frozen in French.
Red3Rulez
It was originally supposed to be based on the story The Snow Queen
TheLaudanumGuy
Ok, didn't know that.

Idk, I love the snowman.

I love Frozen so fucking much.

"Queen of the Snow"
CommodoreVictorTreaSure
Because we americans are not artsy fartsy i guess?
ikindalikeuplay
Please, the Australian poster was just Olaf either on a beach relaxing or on some ice shaped like Australia relaxing.
BSpaceman
ironically, the snowman is missing his head in the American poster rather than the French one
hSquared7
Also, why is the American version called "Frozen" and not "The Snow Queen"?
sugarglidersquirrel
Please, someone draw what's going on under the snow.
SwedishPrincess
Based on the wonderful things I've heard about this movie, I think the first two posters are more approriate.
welcomebackcoxer
Apparently the French don't care about Wreck it Ralph either
BalmDeBono
NO NO NO I'm french and I've LOVED "Wreck it Ralph" !!!
Cobaltios
That second one would have been awesome to have. Also, "Reine des Neiges" sounds better than simply "Gêlée".

What film was "Raiponce" the French version of?
arcenciel
Tangled. Raiponce is french for Rapunzal

Tangled. Raiponce is the french for Rapunzal.

I've seen all 3 of those posters in the U.S.

American marketing is typically more insulting to our intelligence.
soukmania
But more efficient. It might sound insulting but it's true. If it works, it tells a lot about american culture: be as dull as possible.
supermariosunshine
USA adults: new character marketed to kids, 'rents dont want kids to miss new thing. French adults: 'rents want kids seeing tasteful movies.
Lealoo
Maybe it's because adults go see those movies in France too, I'm 23 and I still go to the theatre to see animated movies
SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousShenanigans
A ton of adults I know here in the US went. I'm 20 and it's one of my favorites.

I don't know how it is in the US so it was a (wrong) try! I guess we never fully grow old!

It's unrealistic to think that we can eliminate riots COMPLETELY but I've been crunching the numbers and I think we can reduce them by 40%!

American movie poster are quickly Photoshopped together, its why I only buy fan made poster.

Really? Seems like marketing it well would be a big deal.

Found the movie poster hipster
magic42
At least we get a more accurate picture.
Pedwards09
Olaf stole the show!
therealgiraffe
Eh, I think the first one was the most accurate, although I wish you could see Elsa. The Snowman wasn't that important.
Veit
I think the first image is more representative than the American poster, which puts a minor but marketable character front and center.
[deleted]

Veit
Is it? I'm pretty sure it isn't.
ButterflyBoss
Except Hans looks like a nice guy in the picture! That asshole.
Cobaltios
Sssh! Spoilers!!
grody
Usually, US posters are designed like this because marketing thinks they need something that appeals to *both* boys and girls. Stupid imo.
magneticgumby
How is it stupid that they attempt to appeal to their target audience?
grody
Appealing to both audiences isn't stupid or terrible at all. It's bending over backwards and attempting to disguise the film that is.
magneticgumby
Again, your contradiction of yourself excluded, it's not bending over backwards, it's appealing to their target audience. It's what they do.
BusinessGuy
I'm studying in France right now. I think that instead it is because older audiences will also go to see animated movies here.
KalmiaKamui
How do the French posters not appeal to both?
grody
I'm not saying they don't, but US Advertisers typically try to market as hard as possible to males if they can, so even if the main (cont)
kootiepatra
Which is also probably why they're called "Tangled" and "Frozen" here, rather than "Rapunzel" and "The Snow Queen".
grody
characters are both female, they'll try to put focus on either a non-gendered or male character who is in the story to try to broaden (cont)
grody
appeal. It's pretty crappy they have to market in such a lcd way like they do, so that's why you see shoe horning characters all over ads
KalmiaKamui
That's...super shitty. :(
lafeye
I guess that's also why in french the title means " Snow queen" instead of "Frozen"
IntergalacticFlyingDolphins
Well I mean in French, it's also called "The Snow Queen" which is way cooler. Or are we just ignoring that?
MelfsAcidArrow
That's what the story is based on, so yeah.
Cobaltios
Well, there is that "ripoff" movie called that, so maybe they didn't want to confuse it with it? Also...
Cobaltios
'Frozen' works better for a bunch of other running themes in the story itself.
PerfectChicken
In Germany it is called "die Eiskönigin" whoch means ice queen.
AllIHaveHadTodayIsLikeSixGummyBearsAndSomeScotch
Plus there's a pun in "Völlig unverfroren".
katsublue
It's translated to either Frozen or The Snow Queen depending on how it would sound in that country's language.
ZeusLustfulBalls
In Spanish was actually called "Frozen: Una Aventura Congelada"
lostangle
That's the first thing I noticed too
notmyrealface
Ya, I would have rather had "The Snow Queen I had no idea what Frozen was about. And from the American poster I though it was a buddy comedy
terbril
It's a trend. Eugene was tangled up in Rap's adventure, Ana was frozen by Elsa. A Wild Swans movie would probably be called "Sewn."
roonilwaslib
List of other interesting different french titles: Mean girls/Lolita malgre moi, Scooby-doo/Scoubidou, Boondock Saints/Les Anges de Boston
annerbananers
Fun fact! Frozen is actually based off a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale called The Snow Queen (I believe that's the correct title)
Ifrix
'based'
dantemirror
It is? Because I read that book and the snow queen WAS A FUCKING VILLAN THERE!
annerbananers
If you look back on the original storylines, Disney did that to ALL their fairy tales. Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty...
annerbananers
Yes, and that's why I said "based" not "is."
Atreefellinthepark
Yeah. As in, the French version actually acknowledged the original they borrowed from. America couldn't handle a female title.
sowetoninja
yeah, it's totally b/c of the female gender, not like almost all these movies cater towards girls, no, it's definitely sexism.
Cobaltios
Or... because of this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2243621/
1999eclipse
tons of Disney movies have female titles, though.
DemographicUnknown
Princess and the Frog was the last to do so and it didn't make as much money as Disney wanted.That's what sparked the renaming for "Tangled"
1999eclipse
hmm. odd, cos I was turned off by Tangled's marketing&name. looked like a Shrek ripoff. If I had heard "Disney's Rapunzel" I'd gone faster.
TheThingNoNotThatOne
FYI, it was also called Frozen in a variety of other markets, too.
Veit
It doesn't make sense for it to be called The Snow Queen. They acknowledge it as inspiration at the end, but the stories share nothing.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Except that love melts a (badthinghappened) heart. In the original it was a shard but I mean that's still kind of a vague similarity almost
Veit
May as well have called the movie The Grinch, then. Right? That's another story in which true love heals the heart.
jadedimgurian
they acknowledge the source, but they changed the story too much to keep the same name IMO
asquiiiiiiisha
Ugh, I'm glad the US release is called Frozen, because while they initially set out to adapt The Snow Queen, they ended up…not.
shumka
I would have loved to see some demons shoving the cursed mirror into people's faces. Bet that would have gone over well with the church set.
MyCatLovesToSnuggle
I agree. If they had kept the Snow Queen title, I would have been disgruntled that they changed the story. Now I'm just like, yay Olaf!
DemographicUnknown
That, and the marketing team felt a movie with a female character's name doesn't sell. That's why "Rapunzel" turned into "Tangled."
ragekritz
meet the marketing team for everything. The real reason women are in less leads in animation or live action is because of marketers.
TotallyFreeRadicalsDude
Actually if you read up on it, they changed it to Frozen because the WRITERS thought it fit the theme better.
delonwheels
Ehhhh the writers don't have a final say. Marketing tells them to re-write. It's not like they can explicitly reveal that in an interview.
DemographicUnknown
Well what do you know. I checked and you're right! I was so irked by Rapunzel's name change that I didn't do enough reading for Frozen.
TotallyFreeRadicalsDude
Yup. I was presently surprised by that. I think that it's not because it's a girl's name in most cases, it's just writers being artsy lol
dirtydust
Imagine that..a childish poster for a kids' movie. Do you even market, bro?

ihateprettymucheveryoneonimgur
Childish being synonymous with "US culture".
BurlRavenscroft
The American keyart industry is going downhill into a low-budget cluster of cliched ideas lacking creativity.
ElGrandeBanana
While that's true, children will be drawn into the french ones more, because there is loads of room for them to use their imagination.
lafeye
I don't see why so many downvotes for that opinion... +1
IUseImgurToShareImages
Kids' movie? Since when Disney movies are only for kids?
Cobaltios
Since that's how they've always been marketed?
DemographicUnknown
Snow White wasn't. Snow White was revered as a revolutionary work of art when it debuted. Einstein called it the greatest movie ever made.
Cobaltios
...When was Snow White made?
DemographicUnknown
1937. Typically regarded as the reason feature-length animated films became a widespread art form.

While the French posters are beautiful, my 2.5 yr old daughter reacted to the American one, it's cute and friendly.
