So you'll probably get quite a few people reminding you that this was a Disney animated film and not Pixar, but I want to jump in and make the case that Pixar doesn't really exist any more and this was Disney Pixar in all but name.
Disney bought out Pixar so they could use the Pixar talent to revitalise their own animation. They took the creative director of Pixar, John Lasseter, and made him creative director on Disney Animation too, and it was John Lasseter who produced this film. The President of Disney Animation Studios is Edwin Catmull of Pixar.
They were brought in to get Disney up to scratch and Wreck-it-Ralph and Frozen have shown that they have (haven't seen Tangled). They share direction, they presumably share technology and wouldn't be amiss to swapping staff. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not too long before Pixar isn't really at all distinguishable from Disney apart from it's brand name.
OMG GUYZ IT'S DISNEY NOT PIXAR!!111111

Disney Pixar, you won me back.
Wow. Just WOW. Neither am I a fan of musicals nor am I a fan of princesses. And I actually am no fan of American animation anymore. But this here... Wow. I gave in to a friends recommondation while we were talking about great film music and he was going on and on about "Let it go". I listened to it and saw the scene on YT's Disney channel and I was like "I HAVE to see this movie". Was it worth the hundred minutes? It could've been worth three or four hours. At first I thought it to be just a citchy musical (well, citchy it was a bit, but hey, it's Disney that's to be expected). But then, when I started to see it, It and the characters really grew to me. And I genuinely felt sorry for the Elsanna. They are about as fleshed out as characters can be in a 100 minute movie. I also really liked the fact that the big bad was not whom you expect to be. But what really took the crown in this movie for me, more than the really good and likeable characters, the jokes and comedy was the excellent music and the visuals. Dear god, the visuals were beyond perfect. The reflexions on the ice alone were absolutely stunning. The animations of the movement, water and actually overall were masterfull to the max. Maddest props to Pixar's animators. I'm leaning out of the windows now and say that Frozen is on the best way to become a new Disney Classic that's going to be watched in 20,30 years as well. I used to root for The Wind Rises for the upcoming Oscars, but now, I'll change my vote to Frozen. 9.5 (don't like the "love solves" everything that's usual for Disney)/10
