Is FROZEN the Disney version of THE SHINING ?

cinemablend.com's Kristy Puchko posted a fun article, asking if maybe Frozen is actually a "remake" of the Shining.  Go to the link because after building her case Puchko gives  you the opportunity to vote.  How should you vote?  Well, it's obvious -- right?

Add this to the Room 237 theories.

Citing blogger Mary Katharine Ham, (the original blog post by Ham is at mkhammer.squarespace.co) the article lists out several amazing -- or not so amazing -- similarities to The Shining.

Here's the argument  broken into simple bullet points:

Similar characters.

• Elsa = Jack.  "Both have something inside them that is a danger to their loved ones. And when given a position of power--be it queen of Arendelle or caretaker of a remote mountain resort--they lose control. Also, both tend to favor a place of solitude high in the mountains."  Ah, now it's clear as day!  But wait. . . there's more!
• Anna = Danny, because they are both left to "their own devices" in high ceilinged posh buildings.  One a castle, the other a hotel.  NOW YOU SEE IT, right?  Ham notes, 'while Jack dislocated Danny's shoulder in a moment of out of control (drunken) rage, Elsa nearly killed Anna twice."
• Wendy = Olaf. Because, like Olaf, Wendy will do whatever necessary to protect the innocent Danny Anna.
• And that means Kristoff = Dick Hallorann, who acts as both Danny and Wendy's protector.  

This is directly from Ham's blog post:

When Anna and Olaf realize they are stuck in the Arendelle castle as Elsa's power begins to throw icicle daggers in their way, Olaf throws open an upstairs window, and sends Anna sliding down the snow to the ground. Olaf follows. 

In "The Shining," as Jack corners Danny and Wendy in an upstairs bathroom with his ax, Wendy throws open a window and sends Danny sliding down the snow to the ground. In this version, of course, Wendy cannot escape as easily as Olaf does.

Yep, that pretty much did it for me.  I'm never watching either movie again.
