Back on 12-02-13, blogger Michael Belote wrote that Frozen was 'the best theological movie in years'.
His conclusion was based on the movies use of the key Christian themes of Law, Grace and Redemption.

Then in Feb of this year, Belote shared his thoughts on The Lego Movie which, according to him, gave 'Frozen a run for it's money.'
Here are a few of his thoughts: (some ***spoilers*** ahead)

The LEGO pieces started out free and in tune with their God (their owner)—creative, imaginative, unencumbered by instructions. They fulfilled their purpose in life. However, the Evil One deceived them, separating them from their natural realms and teaching them that their original nature was a flaw rather than a thing of beauty.

They were tricked into believing that perfection through following the instructions was the ultimate virtue, and all of them tried their best to do so.

However, eventually a hero arose who fulfilled an ancient prophesy. This hero seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary—an average construction worker/carpenter who was easily forgotten. But he taught and then died for his friends, creating a path to defeating the Evil One.
