Not Bad; but a Little Cold
Looneymanthegreat - wrote on 06/21/2014
My feelings on Frozen are mixed. The movie is seemingly the perfect Disney Princess movie, with all of the carefully laid out good messages and role models that parents have been craving lately, but I’m not quite buying it. The movies plot almost seems a tiny bit too carefully calculated for its own good. The center message is right on about relationships, yet it never fully connects emotionally. Its songs are pretty, but none of them really knock it out of the park. There’s nothing really that bad about it, but I’ve watched it three times already, and each time I like it a little bit less.
One of the better songs in the movie, Fixer Upper, Is a humorous song about how Kristoff, Anna’s potential love interest, is a solid romantic option, but she’ll have to “fix him up …

A charming and magical animation film

I’m frozen now. Cool breeze all around. Storming winter snow and giant snowman in a simple and song a long adventure animation film from the crew who gave us Wreck It Ralph. A smart and alluring animation film. It is bound by a winter’s tale and has a lot to make it simple and steady. The characters are cool, really cool and the songs are a treat. The voice overs by Kristen bell and Idina create wonders. The snow man is really funny. The film has the in bound charm and waves its magic all around. So Frozen is about a young girl to be a queen who is cursed with a freeze touch. Whatever she touches, it freezes. Trouble now! She keeps aloof and there comes her sister to her rescue. But her fear of harming her keeps her always isolated. No matter whatever happens, her younger sister is …

Frozen: A-

I had no desire to see this movie when I saw the first teaser trailer last year. All the characters looked like the ones from Tangled, and it just seemed like one of those pointless Disney films that everyone was going to end up forgetting about in two weeks.
But then I watched it, and ok, this movie is pretty cute. I hate to admit it, but the songs are really addicting as well, even if they could be a little too "Broadway" at times The first song was on the same level of heartbreaking as the beginning of Up. If the entire movie had just ended with Anna saying "Do you want to build a snowman?" I don't think I would have minded, it was just done so well.
(*spoilers*)
Some things I really liked about this movie:
1 The fact that Anna didn't need a prince to thaw her heart.
2 That …

'Frozen' Is Almost Solid As Ice

'Frozen' is Disney's latest non-Pixar outing. All of the Disney animation criteria can be checked off the list for this entry: impressive visuals and music, good comedic moments, upbeat characters, fairy tale setting, complete kid friendly atmosphere. Every aspect is done very well. Still, I didn't find this affair as enjoyable as the most recent Disney animations (Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph). The main problem being the story. I feel it's too predictable and uninspired, given the amount of potential to be had with the premise. Granted, there is an attempt to subvert tired Disney tropes in the third act, but even those small 'twists' are easily foreseen. The relationship of the two sisters is underdeveloped and doesn't generate the amount of heart that is strived for. Despite this …

Frozen's Not Hard To Warm Up To
JLFM - wrote on 11/29/2013
I'll admit that when the teaser for Frozen first came out, I was appalled. It appeared that after the recent commercial and critical successes of Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph, Disney was testing our tolerance for the pedestrian. And subsequent trailer releases did little to boost my confidence in the picture. I am pleased to say, however, that Frozen far exceeded my expectations, and proved itself worthy of the Disney name. It's not as funny as Winnie the Pooh or Wreck-It Ralph, and it doesn't capture the Disney Renaissance feel as well as The Princess and the Frog, but Frozen is one of the year's best animated films- especially notable in a year where good animated films have been rather scarce.
Loosely based off of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, The Snow Queen, Frozen is about …
