On its debut weekend, it grossed $350 million, making it \u201cthe biggest opening ever for Walt Disney Animation (not including Pixar)\u201d, according to Hollywood trade publication Variety. The movie opens in Norway on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norway inspired many elements of the first \u201cFrozen\u201d movie, such as character Anna\u2019s dress or the architecture of the fictional kingdom of Arendelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second film takes inspiration from the culture of the S\u00e1mi, an indigenous minority living across Norway, Sweden, Finland and northern Russia, who have faced discrimination against their language and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Norway, a state-appointed truth and reconciliation commission is investigating the discrimination perpetrated on minorities including the S\u00e1mi and Kven peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am planning to see the movie again with my whole family,\u201d said Aili Keskitalo, president of the consultative S\u00e1mi Parliament in Norway, who attended the film\u2019s world premiere in Los Angeles with her 11-year-old daughter and set a scene from the movie as her Facebook profile picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrozen 2\u201d sees Anna and sister Elsa head north of Arendelle to find out the truth about a mystery. They meet the Northuldra, who live closely with the reindeer. Reindeer herding is a traditional S\u00e1mi activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome of the beautiful costumes in the film took inspiration from our g\u00e1kti. They also took inspiration from the guksi, our traditional wooden cup,\u201d said Anne Lajla Utsi, a member of a S\u00e1mi advisory group that collaborated with the filmmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe felt they really listened and that it was very important to them to do this right,\u201d Utsi, managing director of the International S\u00e1mi Film Institute, told Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney signed a contract with S\u00e1mi representatives to commit themselves to portray their culture respectfully. That included supporting the dubbing of the movie in North S\u00e1mi, the most spoken of the S\u00e1mi languages, and release it at the same time as the Norwegian version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Utsi posted a picture of the \u201cFrozen 2\u201d poster on Facebook with its S\u00e1mi title, \u201cJik\u014bon 2\u201d, it went viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy youngest daughter is really looking forward to watching the movie again in her language,\u201d said Keskitalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy elder daughters, who are 22 and 25 years old, are also very excited about seeing the movie. It is not often that we see a movie in North S\u00e1mi. I think a lot of adults will see the movie too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OSLO:&nbsp;The sequel to Walt Disney Co\u2019s 2013 hit animated musical \u201cFrozen\u201d is generating excitement among&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1477,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,19,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-news","category-news","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
