2005 was definitely a weird moment for Disney, with Ice Princess being a surprisingly judgementa story featuring a thinly veiled Tonya Harding stand in, played by Kim Cattral. Let' watch as Casey seemingly becomes a pro skater in just a matter of days, in a movie that feels completely generic, and forgettable. As always, don't forget to like and subscribe!

I’m glad you brought up the fact that Harvard was made out to be the ONLY acceptable school. As a Canadian child, based on the media I was watching, I genuinely thought that you only got to apply to ONE university ONE time and if they rejected you, you were black listed from academia

@@mindyobusiness6257 yeah and the ONLY two difference, the literal only two differences. Is that somewhere like the university of Arkansas is 35k (out of state), last I checked Harvard was 66k. The other difference is that you’re paying more for a network of people just as elitist as you who might want to usher you into that way of life after you graduate. It’s actually v weird when you think about it so they just condition us in America to think we’re lazy and low achievers for thinking about it 😂 And studies on Ivy League and state education show that there isn’t a discernible difference in the curriculum taught, only the networking. Not to mention that sweet sweet gentrification. I had an identity crisis as a homeless teen failing school realizing I was never going to go to Cornell and it took me years to get over it.

@crazylatingirl94 2 года назад

I think it speaks to that fear a lot of parents have of their kids not being able to balance multiple things or not allowing their kids to have a hobby unless it's directly related to school or a career. Her mom definitely has a lot of moments like that where she clearly cares about her kid but it preoccupied with her doing everything "right" and focusing on school ONLY. I think it makes sense that her mom was so up in arms about it because she probably fears Casey will end up putting academics to the side for figure skating (which she probably doesn't respect as a career had Casey actually wanted to pursue that) or that at the very least her having a hobby will get in the way of her academics and be harmful. I don't agree with this mindset but I think it's very realistic and unfortunately very common

@settheworldonfire94 2 года назад

Elite figure skaters and gymnasts basically spend the equivalent of a 40-hour work week training. That doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for a school as rigorous as Harvard. Someone on track for the Olympics (as was implied of Casey in the movie) is not the same as a college athlete. In NCAA gymnastics, for example, college teams have limits on how many hours per week they can spend training. If her desired path was the Olympics, then there is a conflict. That said, it’s not like she couldn’t go to college after.

In regards to Casey’s mom, I actually think it’s pretty accurate to have a “feminist” mom look down upon teenage girls in what she sees as a frivolous, feminine activity. I grew up around a lot of moms like that… It’s clearly a form of deep-seated internalized misogyny, and maybe it comes from an antiquated idea that the way to get ahead as a woman is to try to succeed in masculine fields? Anyway, I didn’t see it as a character discontinuity, but rather an accurate portrayal of women who like to think of themselves as feminist, but actually are insecure and have so much internalized misogyny that they look down upon other women for choosing to participate in those types of activities.

As a kid I never realized she got into ice skating because of a project. I always thought the film was about the struggles of entering a highly competitive sport as a teen or adult because you love the sport, but your passion is constantly buried under imposter syndrome. You're surrounded by people who've been doing this since they were babies and their parents act like ice skating is the end all be all, and it's hard to feel like you'll ever be able to do what you love in peace. The plots that kids can come up with, I really thought this was a better movie than it was.

@nonalolagirl 2 года назад

To be fair it makes complete sense why Casey can skate in the beginning but sucks when it comes to the lessons. I'm naturally decent at ice skating but I can't do any tricks. I really wanted to learn more, so I took lessons this winter and they make everyone start off with the basics, literally marching across the ice like a toddler. I was slipping and falling when I was learning some of the basics because I had never learned them in structured and 'proper' way. Learning how to properly manuever my feet, how to move my arms to balance myself, and where to shift my weight kinda threw me off. Then my instructor thought something a bit harder would be difficult for me but it's all I do when I skate on my own so I actually was good at something harder but bad at something easier since I had no reason to do the easy things before-as I already knew how to stop, stand, balance and pick up speed. Overall, my natural way of wanting to skate wouldn't make it possible for me to work up towards spins and jumps, so I appreciated learning and getting used to the basics/building blocks.

I think this is a very common thing. For example with math, my sister can't do easy/basic math but if it's more complicated, she can do it flawlessly, lol Also with reading, another rof my sisters are dyslexic, but she can read big words, it's the smaller everyday words that bothers her

@pierrotcrow 4 месяца назад

@@blackgirlmagicc I think the movie also downplays just how time consuming sports that aren't part of the school's extracurriculars are if you're putting in the work needed to be a strong competitor. I've known a number of people who were figure skaters, ballet dancers, gymnasts, etc. who would frequently have to leave early or miss days of school for practice, competitions, and/or performances. My best friend's younger brother is a very serious ballet dancer, and he actually did most of his junior and senior years of high school through online courses because he got a position in our city's ballet company's day school program. there's really would be no realistic way for Casey to keep her grades up and do the kind of academic work that would get her a Harvard scholarship while also being seriously competitive in skating. I think if that had been more clearly conveyed in the film, her mom's worries about Casey maintaining her scholarship would be a lot more understandable.

Its only fairly recently (within the last ten or so years) that feminism has really evolved into what it is now; the belief that women and men are equal, AND that stereotypically feminine things aren't bad, and that women are allowed and should be able to make their own choices with the same support no matter what that choice is (so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else) Idk if that makes sense I just got home from work and im a bit stoned lol

I mean.... Maybe if in 2005 you thought feminism was being "not like other girls." But feminism has literally always been women of all walks of life making their own independent choices. I think there have always been and will always be a small section of people who think being feminine would be a negative thing, but that's internalized misogyny and truly the complete opposite of feminism.

@cau1471 2 года назад

@@grantmegan91 i just wanna say, I agree. I did specify that the STEREOTYPE of feminism, especially in 05, was that feminists were very masculine, and hated femininity. The thing is, you're rewriting history with your "feminism has always been about independent womens' right to choose what they want without judgement" because, frankly, that's not true. Showing a lot of skin used to be seen as trying to appeal to the male gaze, rather than the fact that some women just like the clothes, if that makes sense? Women choosing to be a stay at home mom were looked down on by feminists. I'm not describing "not like other girls" or "pick mes", im describing what the stereotype of feminists used to be. I'm also just pointing out that feminism has not always been what it is today. Secular feminism is very new in comparison to the full scope of history. Look into 'white feminism', look into the history of feminism from an unbiased perspective, there are so many branches to feminism. Just because feminism wasn't always what it is today doesn't mean that feminism is bad. It, like everything in the world, has changed and evolved over the years. We should be happy that secular feminism has grown so much, that the voices of trans women and women of colour are no longer ignored, but listened to. As a woman of canadian first nations descent, I know im very grateful for the light which has been shun on missing and murdered indigenous women and girls due to the changes in our times.

@gillian7662 2 года назад

@@cau1471 i really agree with your analysis!! i have vivid memories from media between 2000-2010 since i was a very impressionable tween/teen girl during that time lol. I think because the mainstream fashion was so girly and hyperfeminine - think Paris Hilton, snookie from Jersey shore, Britney Spears - people reacted in a way that was very anti-pink, anti-makeup, anti-anything that was more traditionally feminine. I remember seeing SNL, Joan Rivers, The View, and all those talk shows and late night shows absolutely roasting and tearing down women for being feminine. The majority of messages the media fed me were that "girly" = trashy, dumb, annoying, and that real women didnt wear pink, tight clothes, or care about their hair or makeup. Those things contributed to the male gaze, and women should try to reject anything feminine. That era of feminism actually *gave* me a "not like other girls" complex when I hit middle/high school, and it took years to break down my biases and realize how rooted in misogyny I was. In fact, NLOGs are the 2010s result of early 2000s feminist thought, and I'd say only in the last few years has our culture even acknowledged that women are allowed to be whatever they want and like whatever they want. That line of thinking had only existed in radical feminist groups pre~2015. We are lucky that this is now the norm, because you'd be hard pressed to ever find someone claiming this has always been a mainstream idea, esp. in 2005 when this movie came out.

@BeautifulSilence 2 года назад

You do make sense because you're right! Feminism, like any social ideology/movement, evolves over time. What you first described is called second-wave feminism-focused on rejection of social expectations and norms of feminity as assigned by the patriarchy. More recent ideas have evolved, also as you described, which are aspects of third/fourth-wave feminism-more focused on how society as a whole defines constructions of feminism & you can still participate in it if it makes you happy but it's also okay if you don't bc sometimes it Sucks.

Triples are one of the most difficult axels besides the near impossible quad thats only been executed a few times in competition.

I think that's why they had her skating at the beginning, so she could do cool tricks and have that excuse that she actually, in a way, had been practicing for years

@sammjaisais7135 2 года назад

I actually still like this movie a lot. In case anyone is interested, this is the way I always interpreted it. So when Casey's mum talks with her she says that if she had her chance, she would have been able to give her more. From the era and the way the mum composes herself, it makes me think that she either couldn't go to college, or she didn't get as far as she wanted, which leads me to believe Casey was the result of an unwanted pregnancy. Maybe Joan was a girly girl and her boyfriend abandoned her when she got pregnant, and she decided to put less effort on her appearance, even though she liked doing so, and concentrate on getting a job with either inly her high school diploma or while going to college and taking care of baby Casey. And since she didn'thave time to look pretty, she started to feel resentful towards women who put a lot of effort into their appearance. Thus the mystery of the missing dad and why the mum hates frilly dresses and bright colours is solved. And about her reactions to knowing that Casey is ice skating, I don't find it hard to buy. As a child of a strict parent myself, when your parent values academics above all else, when you hide your liking for something else and they find out, they do make that face. My dad didn't because he is the closest a neurotypical person can get to having flat affect, but my mother has made that face (followed by a huge tantrum) for less.

My parents were also only focussed on the academic part of school. I am very creative from making my own clothing to designing custom built in furniture, even then. But I was expected to take mathematics and science. My dad also wanted me to go further in accounting because I was good at it, but I was only good because I got...creative with it. Nobody wants their accountant to be creative with their bookkeeping right? I was never allowed to even think about taking an art class, and when I took technical drawing instead of accounting my dad refused to the point where I forged his signature on the form. And I loved technical drawings, even ended up taking mechanical drawings at university for fun, while studying to become an electric engineer. Even sports weren't allowed until they sent me to boarding school and I tried out every sport I could because they weren't there to stop me from going.

@isoltsayre4908 2 года назад

this movie is so inaccurate lmao. I can list like 500 things. Especially Tina getting suspended for a collision, those happen quite frequently and are dangerous for everyone involved. No one gets suspended for those. It would have been a lot more plausible if she sabotaged equipment, doped, etc. But the biggest fault with this movie is that Casey couldn't get doubles or triples in like a month. That takes years, and most top-level skaters have been training since age 5 to get to that level. And that doesn't include skating skills, spins, flexibility, stamina, etc. And she also can't just pass both novice levels in a show (and it was a show, competitions are always solo for her discipline and are never skated under spotlights). To move up to junior like she does you would have to pass a bunch of tests. And the fact that Casey didn't know about boots needing to be broken in for several weeks despite practically living at a rink for a long time? Plus she was using ancient boots that are clearly just recreational? Typically skating boots have to be form fitted to your feet and are suuuuuper expensive, and once they start to break it is very dangerous to use them. Also there is no money in skating at the level Casey is at so the fact that she turned down Harvard is ridiculous (and almost every member of the US 2022 skating team goes to an Ivy League college so you can do both). Also, Nick you were right, Jenn can't do basic crossovers and does look really bad and Casey wouldn't be nearly as good because she's been skating for such a short period of time. #justiceforniki, she is clear and away the best skater of the bunch along with Zoey.

It’s honestly a slap in the face to how hard we have to work just to land a SINGLE axel which is a milestone at least in US figure skating culture, and even the figure skaters in the movie treated it like this wasn’t somehow…impossible? Its normal for rinks to have axel parties for skaters that land their first single, because it takes even an advanced, naturally talented skater generally 6 months to 3 years for the less graceful or intensive skaters even to land ONE correctly. I don’t care how well you know the laws of physics. Like holy shit, do I want to laugh or cry. Muscle memory and physical building takes YEARS even for child prodigies.

My late, best friend was a figure skater on a less competitive level, and oh, yes, the inaccuracies are so painful in the movie. There’s so much more to skating than understanding physics, you have to train your body to be able to pull the tricks off. It takes years of practice to get those jumps down. You have to build up from the bottom. My friend had to do figure 8’s, by essentially drawing her own pattern with a tool and following the lines while doing switchovers and other moves. All that monotonous training is what helps a skater build up to their skills. Don’t even get me started on the skaters testing during a pageant, doesn’t happen like that. And Zoe would never have that casual, exhibition-style program in a competition.

Meg Cabot (author of PRINCESS diaries) is credited as writing this, but almost claims to have not written it any of the final draft. I think hockey would have added something to this.

I remember reading that same article or blog entry by meg cabot. to be fair the movie 'Go Figure' is pretty similar, figure skater turns hockey player so that she can continue figure skating, id recommend it if you liked ice princess :))

As someone was inspired to skate by this movie, I could do the gliding on one foot thing, but I was way too scared to ever get any kind of jump or spin. I never had any formal training, I just had a pair of skates a relative bought me off eBay, and I would go to the local rink during open ice time. If she skates on a pond regularly during the winter, I could see how she’d figure out the skating on one foot thing but be starting from zero on the jumps, especially if there’s a level of fear there like there was for me.

Yeah I loved this movie as a kid, I even got that opening Aly & AJ song on my iPod back in the day. I rewatched it a few weeks ago cus I was feeling nostalgic and I actually still like it quite a bit. I can definitely see where the script falls short in some places, but a lot of the things Nick complains about are actually things I love about this movie. For example, he was talking about how it seems confusing that Joan Cusack’s character is a feminist but hates the “skimpy outfits” ice skaters wear, but it makes sense to me. I was taught as a kid that female empowerment was about not giving into the male gaze, which can mean dressing conservatively and acting generally more “masculine”. It’s a kind of internalized misogyny that pervaded the 90s/ 2000s, so I think it’s actually an accurate depiction of a feminist but “unfeminine” mother. Also, Nick hated that all the women in the film were antagonistic towards Casey at one point, but I think it’s great because it shows how different types of women can have these complex relationships and competing interests, but they eventually come together once they find common ground. This film does a great job of showing how different peoples women’s ideas of femininity can clash at times. It feels very in line with my experience as a woman, which I appreciate.

I literally forgot this movie existed until this video popped up in my feed, omg. Which is hilarious because I probably watched it on Disney Channel like 10 times when I was a kid.

Nick's comments are _so_ funny but also unexpected to a point that I have to be careful when eating or drinking while watching/listening cause I almost choked on my water at the part where they joked about them finding the gun that links her to her dad's murder

Another DCOM that feels like a complete fever dream to me is My Date with the President's Daughter. I remember very little except that ear worm of a song

I remember the Punk Skater so vividly. Like I thought she was the coolest person ever. My type in women was solidified from an early age lol.

I'm here just to share that in the castillian spanish dub, this film is called "Soñando soñando, triunfé patinando" wich literally means "Dreaming dreaming, i succeeded ice skating" And i think that's beautiful.
