LoA as inspiration for Disney's Frozen.

The Legacy section of the article proclaims LoA as inspiration for many later works of fiction, such as Star Wars, Dune or... Frozen? Frozen's mention in this article seems to be made entirely relying on a single line of an interview with Frozen's Directors, who in context were not referring to a direct influence of LoA in the film, but rather saying that due to the nature of their work, they tend to see a lot of movies and draw inspiration from a lot of sources: "We watch a lot of live action movies too – that’s one of the many great things about what we do! We watched Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago". It seems to me that to say that Disney's Frozen was influenced by Lawrence of Arabia is a false clame, being based on a single line taken out of context and should be removed.

Historical accuracy

Why is there a "Historical accuracy" section, if the film is based on an autobiographical book? Not even the page of the book has such a section. 2804:18:580F:14DE:F190:7383:23B8:573F (talk) 04:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds as though your real question is why the article for the book doesn't have a similar section? To which the answer is most probably simply that no editor(s) have undertaken the effort to write one. DonIago (talk) 06:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restored Director’s Cut Runtime in Infobox?

Is it alright to include the runtime for the restored director’s cut (216 min) onto the info box? I know the original runtime was 222 minutes when the film originally premiered, but I feel like we should also include the restored version’s runtime in the infobox because that’s the runtime that is in the recent DVD and Blu-ray releases.

Please don't. The infobox is intended to reflect information regarding the film's original theatrical release. Information about alternate versions merits prose within the article. DonIago (talk) 02:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
