I was really excited to see Frozen. I loved both Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph (Wreck-It Ralph more) and the critical praise got me really hyped. It didn't dissapoint. In fact I firmly believe this is a better film than some of the most beloved Disney classics. At the very least, it's in their class.
The story is expertly done, grabbing you from the very beginning of the film. It also turns out to be surprisingly mature for a children's film, further proving we don't need to treat kids like idiots to entertain them. It's a refreshing subversion of the typical Disney Princess story, even more so than Tangled was, and I guarantee there is at least one story twist you won't see coming.
Also, yes, this is a Disney musical, and the songs. Are. Fantastic. Besides the one in the absolute beginning, which I still liked, there wasn't one I didn't love and pretty much all of them have proven to be stuck in my head. I would usually say don't go if you hate musicals, since this movie has ALOT of music, but my friend who despises musicals who came with me had absolutely no problems with it, so I guess the songs are good enough to transcend that barrier.
The humor is done right without being overdone, the characters are all great (though Olaf the Snowman steals the show with his GENIUS comedic timing), and the animation is beautiful. I've even heard some people say it beats The Lion King (not sure I'd agree, but if that isn't high praise, I don't know what is). I would recommend it to everyone. So get up and go see it....as in now. Well? What are you doing still reading this review?? GO!!!!
Disney, producing magic since forever ago
