Frozen, the movie, released in 2013, made a big impression on many people: some children were no doubt amazed by the talking snowman, others by the film’s music, the designers were probably more interesed in the reproduction quality of the snow modelled, by the Material Point Method (MPM). Many paperspraise the effectiveness of this method for simulating complex phenomena. However, very few studies have been carried out to verify the method on very simple academic problems; that is precisely what we will try to study throughout this paper. We will see that simple problem modeling is not so easy with MPM. We will try to present as well as possible the different factors influencing the results, before concluding on its advantages and disadvantages
