First of all, I'm sure 90% (if not all) of the fanbase will absolutely adore this (myself included). It's quite like a fantasy made into reality xD. Thank you Kiwa for making this.
COMMENTS::
(1) Colours are great and well-balanced. I like how the background seems blurred, making the character literally the focus of the piece.
(2) Character design is fabulous :3. yeah, he looks very handsome. However, at first I had a slight problem with his hair. Don't get me wrong it looks great, but considering how Elsa's hair was styled, there's this expectation of a more 'styled' hairstyle.
(3) I love your animation style: his hands are graceful, the ice thingy's are pretty, and I like how you put in a substantial amount of body movement. But this may need more refining and smoother transitions. It suffers from awkward pupil resizing...well, not all people are bothered by this anyway.
Overall, it's an awesome piece. It successfully achieved its purpose: Fulfilling fan's dreams. Keep up the good work! ^^

At first, I thought this was Jack Frost cosplaying as Elsa because of the hair. I still would've thought that if I haven't seen the title and read the description. Maybe you can make his hair blond like Elsa's?
I can see his mouth moving for the song, but it doesn't match up to the lyrics completely at the end. It looks like he finished saying "let it go" and then was about to say something else, but got cut off.
You showed his emotions and facial expressions well. The shading is also excellent, especially on his hair. A very good animation for something that was rushed.
I have no idea what technique is, so I just give five stars on that. Star off criminality because Frozen isn't yours, but I think this is the first Elsa genderbent. Half a star off vision because of the mouth animation not matching the lyrics. Two straws off impact because it just didn't really make such an impression on me.

I absolutely thin his is amazing! I love how well this is animated and the facial expression is spot on and I love your male design for Elsa I just think you could have done a bit more work on the snow but I understand that you were in a rush but if you fix it up that should be something to fix. oh gosh 34 more words to fill. um I love the shading and anime style you used (as always awesome!) and the detail on the clothe is really well done so I'd say this picture is really well done! (yes 103 words!)

First of all the animation of the scene is very well done.Although some parts of the overall attire seem to be twitching as opposed to moving properly, the movement is very well executed and the facial expresion is spot on.Now i can't exactly call this original since it is a scene from the movie with a genderbent character, but animating this particular scene from the song, instead of drawing a male Elsa is definently worth some praise.It is my opinion however that you could have done something more with the overall attire and added a more kingly raiment.All and all it was a great piece.Could have been better with some additional work but I truly liked it.

Vision: Clearly you knew what you wanted here, and you executed it as you wanted it. A male version of Elsa in the most popular scene of the movie is a pretty straightforward sort of idea.
Originality: It's fanart and by definition I can't give it 5 stars, and the 'male version of a female character' thing has been done to death - but you know that already e.deviantart.net/emoticons/letโฆ " width="15" height="15" alt="
Your technique is pretty good. I'm guessing you used the original scene as a reference, and the overall movements are realistic- no broken arms or funny fingers here! You do, however, have a severe 'boiling' problem, and most of it comes out of your shading. With lines popping in and out of existence and moving around frame to frame this sort of thing will happen. Give yourself a bit more time to animate, and use the traditional method with key drawings and in-betweens instead of making the drawings in order if you haven't already, and with practice you'll be able to do away with the wavering lines and inconsistencies.
The overall impact for a bit of fanart is great. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sโฆ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Interesting!
Me and my aunt love it!
Better quality
Keep up a goodwork!!!
I gave you 4.5 stars on the impact because in my feeling, something is missing to the gif but the others, 4 stars because anyone deserves a happy ending,if I gave you 5 except the originality, well I know there is missing in your artwork!
I hope there is another one like that 'cause it is rare to me that to see the art like that so I hope I can see more like this of yours!
Keep it up!
Happy 2014 Year!
Goodluck this year,Be Happy!

This caught my eye straight away from my watch list. I am not an animator myself so I do not know about the details of this type of art. But as a viewer in the audience this is very beautiful!
The simplicity is perfect and amount of detail works very well. The simple background helps the viewer focus on the character and the hand movement catches the concentration and moves it so it follows the hands, leading to the beautiful snow art animation.
Even your characters expression is done precisely well. With the first work of his snow art he seems a little surprised he managed to make it, then on the second you see joy in his eyes, showing the power as beautiful.
I think a job very well done! I would love to see more e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sโฆ " width="15" height="15" alt="

I'm not an animator, but I find myself very impressed by this.It's very slick, the magic looks very similar, compared to the movie, and the shadows are consistent (which is very difficult to do, I'm aware). I feel like if Elsa was a male, this would be exactly what he would look like.
My only complaint is that the animation is a little jumpy. I would recommend getting Flash if you plan to pursue animating, as you can get cleaner frame work with it. Keep up the practice! This is a marvelous start and I hope to see more animations from you, soon!

I am gonna get slack for this critique and people are probably gonna say this is unfair, but Im going to do it anyway, and if you get mad then so be it.
First off. This is fairly cute.
The design doesn't seem too far fetched you translated Elsa's outfit and look to this design fairly well. the magic doesn't look bad, if you added more of a shine I think it would of read better, the lighting is nice and I like the shadows/ how you cell shaded (as in the colours).
However.
This animation is ALL OVER the place. Every single line bubbles/doesn't match up. and not just the lines. The shadows the eyes the crown. Everything. Its so jarring it hard to appreciate this piece.
This could turn into a great piece if you took the time to keep your volumes, followed arcs, had followed a path of action...
I know you most likely just drew ontop of the original or something to get the motions. But this isn't even well done copying. NOW Im not 100% how you did it, but I can only assume.
I truly believe if you took the time it would of turned out stronger. But being an animation major and working in the field, I cannot look past the boiling.
Its a good first attempt and I know why people love this, because its a fan animation of a MALE version, so everyone all star-y eyed, and thatch fine. I appreciate it like the next person. I just hoped this could of been stronger. I really recommend redoing this with things you've learned and see how you make it, because I can guarantee it will be tons better.
Again. I do not mean this as an attack, I am merely looking at the piece in itself. I have seen your work and its lovely. But this is lacking the re fineness that it needs.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I'm not an animator, so I probably have no right to critique this. Oh well.
First of all, I have to say this is probably one of the more simple yet awesome animations I have seen. The shadows match up perfectly with the tunic and m!Elsa himself, and it's consistent throughout the animation. It's a quick loop, but it looks so freaking cool.
What you could have done better is maybe give the snow summoned a bit more sparkle to it, literally and figuratively. Add some more lighting to it and maybe it will shine through. As well as keeping consistent proportions, it seemed that m!Elsa's tunic and cape shifted around his body too much.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but this really piqued my interest. Great work!

I believe this was great I've seen the movie twice :3 and I think this is AMAZING!!!!! <3

It's rare to see a lot of animations of the front page of dA, so I just had to check this out. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bโฆ " width="15" height="15" alt="
First off, the things that works. As a fellow animator, it is hard as BALLS to get your shadows to follow through, especially in terms of shading and coloring. The shadows on the tunic and in the cape are excellent in that regard! The clothing in general looks very fluid and definitely follows the movements of the body. The expression and body language are also great. ^_^
In terms of techniques, this definitely has some hits but a few misses. You have some very lovely poses here, but the problem is they don't seem to flow together in a nice, consistent manner. Going back and polishing the frames you already have and maybe adding some more in-betweens might make the animation smoother and cleaner.
Other than that, pushing the lighting on the snowflakes would honestly make this pop even more!! This is supposed to be the moment when m!Elsa realizes how beautiful and incredible his gift his, so pushing the lighting would add to that revelation even more. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bโฆ " width="15" height="15" alt="
This is great overall, though - keep up the great work!!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I don't give out critiques often, but...I love this.
The snowflakes are just absolutely gorgeous and his expressions aid it even better. This scene in the movie was my favorite, and now I am...how we say it.... obsessed with the song. Male!Elsa isn't what I normally go for, but I love how you animated him. His face is so content; I couldn't hold it back in the grin.
While everything seems to be in order, I have to agree with the others. The frames and Male!Elsa's cape seem to be a little fast. And Elsa's hair in the film when she sung the song was in a perfect bun. It amazes me to see how it manages to stay that way after a long journey... @_@
But fantastic work. I hope to see the final version...if you're planning to fix it or finish the rest.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
First of all, this is beautiful! So smooth and I love how you've drawn him! I think you may have changed the shading a bit too much on the clothing, perhaps try a bit of a smoother transition there next time. This isn't the first male!Elsa I've seen, nor is it the first animated male!Elsa (even for this particular scene) so I can't give you full marks on originality but the vision is there and you seem to have worked very hard on it. I agree with deviant hophopfire that perhaps you should ease up a bit on the animation of the cape, it seems to move a bit too much. All in all though it is absolutely lovely. (And I am forever jealous of his hands, they look phenomenal.)
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
people were real harsh on this lovely piece of art. Seriously they should all stfu this is amazing and awesome in many ways. Nothing is wrong with it. I can view it right. Lots of effort, a nice view of detail. I would give it a spot on 10/10 for all stages in vision originality technique and impact. Don't let anyone bring u down. especially the last one that send robotic they know nothing about this fine piece of beautiful art. If any haters are reading this then u can all go to hell. Good Good Good Good Good BRILLIANT.

Critiques are meant to offer advice and suggestions on how to improve something, not just pat the artist on the back 
๐: 1 โฉ: 1
that's just my opinion there is nothing wrong with it as far as I see
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You clearly didn't comprehend what I said... I said your opinion is fine, but that doesn't make it a valid critique. When you critique something, you are analyzing and evaluating the quality of the subject, and offering suggestions on how the artist can improve it. Simply saying stuff like "Fuck da haters! This is perfect! 555555 stars!" is a great compliment, but it isn't an actual critique. That's why I said you should have saved what you wrote for the regular comments section.
๐: 1 โฉ: 0
This kind of thought process is artistic poison. Please do not critique someone's work again until you know what you're doing. :/
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
well that is just my opinion and your just going to have deal with it
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
My unnamed possession can deal with it, sure. However, I will not. Your opinion is uneducated and toxic to all artists around you. This kind of mindset, in large enough quantities, will lull an artist into a false sense of satisfaction and skillfulness, stifling personal growth and improvement (deviantART in a nutshell, in all honesty). Do you understand that? In attempting to defend this artist, you are only inflicting figurative harm upon her.
Is praise nice to receive every so often? Of course. It lets an artist know that they're doing something right. However, this preposterous amount of smothering that you (and I'm sure others) have provided... it's sure to cause more harm than good.

you should real calm down how is this going to affect you in any way in the future.

I can assure you that I've been calm. Must be that silly human inability to pick up tone through text.
Just because something isn't your problem doesn't mean you should just blatantly ignore an issue.

๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Of course. But not all opinions are equal. Say I like apples and you don't. That's all well and good. Those opinions don't affect anyone. But there are plenty of opinions that do; your critique being an example of one. You can't just resort to "But it's my opinion so deal with it!" every time you receive backlash for something you've said. I know it's a bit of an extreme jump, but how about the Ku Klux Klan (which is totally still a thing, albeit an incredibly small minority)? Should we just deal with their opinion that white peoples are superior to others and that other races of people deserve fewer rights? I should hope your answer is no.

Acartoonlove123,
I'm sorry, but your critique as well as your attitude is very childish.
5, 5 ,5 ,5, 5 .... Stars?
"they know nothing about this lovely piece of art"
"good good good good good BRILLIANT"
Yes, you may like Kiwa's art, but...
Do know know anything about animation, or even how to animate yourself?
Critiques aren't supposed to be like that. It should point out mistakes and show the positive side of the deviation as well. This would be more appropriate as a comment. Critiques can sometimes seem harsh, but that's only for the well being of the artist. Kiwa will not improve with critiques like these.

but it is all fine and that is just my opinion so deal with it ya twat

Sure.
I can do that. :]

I think you did a very good job on making this animation. But what I am afraid of is the cape and crown. You put a lot of effort into this I see. But you must make sure to even out the slides. Also make sure to look over them carefully. I like the snow. But I would add a little but more color and more dazzle to it. You id a great job with the hands too! Overall I think you did an excellent job with this animation. Keep up the good work! And make sure to look at the slides!

I love all the work you put into this! Shading all the different poses must've taken a lot of work and it definatly shows in your gif! The hands and the movement of the clothing and hair look amazing! I couldnt draw hands anywhere close to that if I tried XD
There's only a few issues I can honestly see with it.... One the animation is a bit choppy making the overall movement of Male Elsa seem a little robotic, in the few gifs ive made (Which I always forget to post on DA XD) either messing with the frame speed to slow some of the frames down so the movement is more fluid works well as well as maybe making a few in between frames
Two the snow looks kind of more like he draw it with a pen in the air and don't get me wrong it works well but like someone before me said messing with the opacity of the snow and the translucency will help make it look a little more magical and untouchable
Otherwise this looks amazing! I can't wait to see what else you do with things like this!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
First of all, good effort made. It's difficult to animate so many layers even for a piece that's just a couple of seconds long, and the fact that you've lined each one nicely and cel shaded all of them is something to admire. The colours are pretty, and overall the aesthetics are quite pleasing.
The main weakness I see in this piece is volume consistency; the wobbly animation is quite noticeable and is a bit distracting. In the first half, you can clearly see the eyes shifting a lot in size. The same applies for the crown, and the cape on his shoulders jump around a lot. It would be better for you to nail down the volumes and shapes early on in the sketch phase before moving on to lining and colouring.
I must say I quite like the fingers and hands, and the arcs they make are quite nice, especially for the right arm. If you get the frame by frame consistency down, this piece will be much stronger and more fluid.
Also nice work on the snow effects. You could probably make it nicer by giving the sparkles a more noticeable glow, and by lowering the opacity of the layer so that it'll be more translucent/otherworldly. Oh, and it would be a nice touch to control the opacity to fade them out as they disappear, too!
Keep up the good work! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sโฆ " width="15" height="15" alt="

The animation is quite wobbly, the snow looks somewhat lazily, hastily added in, and the style is much more "anime" than Disney. It's not a bad animation, but your technique could certainly use improvement. The animation of wrinkles is probably my favourite part, it looks like you put in the most thought and work there. I also enjoy the movement of the hands. Overall I would say it looks very rushed, but you certainly seem to have the ability to create better things. I would simply recommend taking more time and putting more effort into your creation. I hope this critique helps somewhat.
