Symbolic Connotations In Animated Movie Songs -a Semiotic Analysis Of "let It Go" From The Movie Frozen-
Authors : Dahar Farida .
Abstract
This study explores the power of audio‑visual symbols in media products, particularly animated movies; and their influence on children’s beliefs and perceptions. Animated movies often appeal to young audiences through dynamic action, vibrant colors, music, and aesthetic beauty. Algerian children, like their peers worldwide, display a natural curiosity that makes them receptive to such content. Even when exposed to foreign languages, they readily recall specific words, gestures, and melodies, which in turn shape broader aspects of their behavior, including clothing styles and haircuts. Among these cultural products, Frozen stands out as one of the most celebrated animated movies, achieving global popularity and enduring resonance. Children frequently imitate the characters’ actions in everyday contexts and often acquire toys modeled after beloved figures such as Elsa, Anna, and Olaf. This study focuses on the song Let It Go as a case for semiotic analysis. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Christian Metz and Roland Barthes, the research examines the signs and symbols embedded in the song, highlighting their role in shaping meaning and cultural impact.
