A sweet, magical film filled with great music, likable characters, and striking effects, Frozen is a fairy tale about overcoming obstacles and the power of true love. Princesses Anna and Elsa are sisters and the closest friends until one day Elsa discovers that she can no longer control her power to create ice and snow. Terrified for the safety of her sister and everyone around her, Elsa isolates herself and vows to never feel any sort of passionate emotion again in hopes of suppressing her powers. But when Elsa comes of age and is set to be crowned queen, she must open the gates of the palace and let in the public, not to mention her sister Anna. Things go horribly wrong and Anna pursues her sister into the mountains in an attempt to save Elsa and reverse the deep freeze that Elsa has inadvertently released on the kingdom of Arendelle. Along the way, Anna joins forces with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), an ice seller with a strangely close relationship with his reindeer Sven, and Olaf (Josh Gad), a goofy snowman whom she suddenly remembers from early childhood. In the end, Anna and Elsa discover that only by embracing their deepest feelings do they have a chance of saving themselves and the kingdom. Inspired by "The Snow Queen" story by Hans Christian Andersen, the film has plenty of quirky, lovable characters along with a nice blend of corny humor, serious sentiment, suspense, and peril. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel deliver rousing performances of great music that includes original songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and an original score by Christophe Beck, and the visual effects are simply stunning. Frozen definitely succeeds in captivating audiences young, old, and every age in between. --Tami Horiuchi

In any case, my opinions were rendered meaningless by the profound effect this movie had on my 3-year-old grand-daughter. Although I didn't observe much of a response from her at the theater (either during or immediately following the movie), a mere 3 months later she's singing every single note, every word of the score of "Frozen" (I couldn't even tell you the name of the composer-lyricist). Granted, in that time she's had a birthday, but I'm no less impressed. And it's quite apparent that this "blockbuster" out of the Disney studios is having a similar impact on thousands of other children--of all ages.
The tunes from "Frozen" and, for that matter, most other recent musicals, don't lend themselves to jazz improvisation, but neither does much operatic music. Only the passage of time will tell us whether this music will endure like Kern's "All the Things You Are" or Johnny Greene's "Body and Soul" or Harold Arlen's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (to name just a few examples of "classic" American tunes that are part of an inarguable "canon" of American popular song). But I'll be far more hesitant about criticizing it. And even if it eventually sinks into the oblivion of so much pop emphemera, a musical like "Frozen" leads in a musical direction that's considerably more professional and sophisticated than the folk, rock and country music (mostly by guitar-playing singer-songwriters) that has dominated American popular music since the 1960s.
Come to think of it, Menzel exhibited a "Broadway voice" that was not all that unlike Ethel Merman's (minus the vibrato--Ethel was the favorite of the early great composers because of her power and elocution, both essential to Broadway shows before the development of the microphone, which was not even a factor in vocal performances until the late 1920s and the emergence of the creative genius who knew to use it-- Bing Crosby). Near the beginning of practically any course that I teach--literature, music, and film--I warn my youthful troops (learning is a risky adventure) that they all possess a bias against anything that is perceived as "old," "past," "before their time" and that one of their greatest challenges will be to surmount their pre-existing bias in favor of the "modern," or "contempotrary" for education (which means "moving out" of restrictive confines) to occur.
Education is more about covering epochs of "time" (in teaching linguistics, I endeavor to go back some 50 million years!) than vast expanses of "space." Traveling--even in outer space--is of great interest and even a potentially transformative experience for some, yet it's extremely limited compared to the traveling in time that is possible only through the study of texts from the past. In other words, they'd better be prepared to read, and have an open mind to, a lot of "dead white guys" (not excluding some black ones, like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, both of whom produced music that resonates in consciousness with the creative brilliance of a Shakespeare sonnet or a Homeric epic poem).
Already, as a teacher-student, I've no doubt alienated myself from not only some of those "present-bound" youth that occupy my classroom but from of the narrow-minded and rigid Americans on the far right who have condemned "Frozen" as a propaganda piece supporting modern "liberal" notions such as women who can overcome formidable obstacles and attain the kind of powerful automony we like to see in our great national leaders. We're told that such empowerment of women defies all of the patriarchal examples of the past not to mention the teachings of the Bible and other religious texts. Moreover, we're told that by showing us two women who are capable of loving, above all, each other, "Frozen" is brainwashing our youth into approving of homosexuals if not becoming one!
Who would have "thunk it"!! (I confess these ideas never occurred to me until I bagan reading and hearing reports about the controversy stirred up by this movie, which had initially left me largely indifferent and about $50 poorer). It occurs to me that we can all "learn" from these alarmists as the vert antithesis of a genuine student, with a mind open to learning. Rather than learning how to interpret a "text" (literary, film, musical, etc.) they're "hardened idealogues" who have become all too well practiced in their habitual litmus tests (i.e. "witch hunts"). I encourage them all to take a few classes in "higher learning," for their own good and the communities they attempt to serve.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying my grand-daughter's extended arias-recitatives, lifted from the soundtrack of "Frozen," and being sung with such joyful abandon and power ("mostly" on pitch) that I can feel my house's foundation moving and witness my cats frozen in trepidation as they cling to their preferred perches in the four-story trees (ordered from Amazon). It's enough proof for me to conclude my grand-child (who had just recently conquered "the potty") was, indeed, "liberated," and at the age of 3! Who knows where she'll go from here? I'm simply relieved to know that she won't have limits placed upon her by some perhaps well-intentioned by sadly misinformed hard-liner. If you wish to learn about music, you might do well to talk to and hang out with a musican. If you want to learn about "morality," the last person to consult is a "moralist."
I am a writer, and although I know story is always king, films are different than books, and in a film you must have other visual and sound elements that make it gripping and appealing. Having read "The Snow Queen" by HCA, I can see why that tale would be hard to make into a good movie - too dark, too dull, too disconnected from the public watching it. "Frozen" gives us somewhat flawed, human characters that have been SO-O carefully written, and SO-O carefully animated by a team of brilliant animators, that, although they don't look precisely like normal humans, they do come alive with a spirit that touches us all. The story is of two sisters, who grew up close and then get somewhat separated - although you'd have to account for them seeing each other sometimes, since they both know WAY too much about the other not to have seen each other at all for some 15 years. Still, they have always loved each other, and both cherish the value of family (witness the true painful sadness at the loss of their parents). Yet they have a problem with the oldest child having been born with an incredible power that can create ice and snow from the existing atmosphere, manufacture blizzards, and also create several other things (like dresses, ices skates, and living snowmen) from thin air - all and all an awesome power for someone to have. Now all of this can certainly be fun, but, like all things of power, especially in the hands of a young child, they can also be dangerous, which is precisely what the magical Trolls tell us early on; this provides the monumental difficulty for the two sisters. Thus, because Elsa is just a kid when she discovers this, she has no real ability to control it. Her father's message of "conceal it, don't feel it" is not at all helpful, since she doesn’t practice how to control her powers for all those successive years of growing up; however, the father’s advice is logical to give his precious daughter, trying to keep her, and all those around her, safe.
When Elsa’s gift is discovered by the community, and she is thought to be a monster - logically enough - she is left with no choice she can think of but to run off and be alone so she won't hurt anyone, and where she can also be herself. There, in the ice and snow wilderness, she discovers all her powers and LETS IT GO! But Anna, who now comes to the crushing realization of what has been happening with her sister all these years, is personally hurt for not understanding before and is still out of a sibling who she loves; and so, she chases after her, picking up the gentlemanly Kristoff and lovable Olaf on the way. The trek Anna and Kristoff make is interesting and truly charming, with some great music and adventure on the way.
But finding Elsa still doesn't make this an easy rescue, for Elsa is still worried about the damage she can cause since, unbeknownst to her, the fear she can't control within her is destructive; in fact, she thinks of it as a curse. Thus, she chases her sister away to try to save her from harm. In the process, she accidentally strikes Anna with her ice-making power again, this time in the heart, harming her. Kristoff realizes it and knows he has to take her to the magical Trolls, which are his family, to save her. However, after some nice Troll music and another group of charming scenes, the Troll king says he cannot save her, cannot thaw her heart, which only an act of true love can do. And here we have the heart of the story, although the writers sort of err, if in a forgivable way, because that “act of true love” is given several times by Kristoff who takes her to find her sister, and later the Trolls, in the first place and then rushes her back to Arendelle to see Hans who will hopefully save her by thawing her heart with a true love’s kiss - but you don't need more of an act of true love than what Kristoff has already done a few times! BUT, they give you one anyway, when Hans tries to kill Elsa, and Anna risks her own life to save the older sister she has always adored.
SO, here we are, with two sisters, each of whom loves the other enough to sacrifice herself for her - Elsa, in her lifelong sacrifice of self-imposed solitude, just to keep her sister safe, and Anna, by putting herself in the way of the sword to save Elsa from being slain. Ultimately, it is the quintessential family message of love and sacrifice that saves the sisters, their family, and the kingdom, since Elsa now realizes that love is the way to control her magical power and be a benefit to her kingdom instead of a dangerous curse. This heavy message, so gleefully done, and so brilliantly animated by characters that come alive right before our eyes, with realistic gestures, movements, and expressions, touches our hearts and are what make this film unmatched by any previous Disney animation. The original story idea? TERRIBLE! The dropping of the "Do you want to build a snowman" song - unforgivably stupid; fortunately Lasseter had the common sense to put it back in. Thus, the film they finished with was a spectacular tale of great music, heartfelt pathos, and visual splendor that they are going to have a difficult time repeating in Frozen 2! I mean, the making of the ice castle scene with Elsa singing “Let It Go” (through Idina Menzel’s spectacular voice) is virtually worth the price of the movie all by itself.
I have one criticism of the marketing of “Frozen” - it is not a story about a young girl searching for her sister trying to restore summer to Arendelle; it IS a story of the Snow Queen, and how Elsa metamorphosizes from a problem child with powerful magic she can’t control to a full grown woman who learns how to control her power for good utilizing her natural love for her sister, and for her kingdom. That said, there are so many good things about this movie, that everyone should own a copy of it to watch over and over.

When they were very young, sisters Anna and Elsa were very close. They used to play all the time inside of their castle in the kingdom of Arendelle. But what made their playtime more magical is that Elsa has special powers of ice and snow which she would turn the ballroom into a winter wonderland of snowmen, slides, and ice rinks for her and her sister. One day after a tragic accident that left Anna with a frostbit mind, the king took his injured princess to the only being he knew could heal her, the magical Rock Troll King. The troll was able to heal young Anna, but warned the King that if it was her heart was frozen instead of her head, it may not be reversible. So the decision was made to wipe Anna’s mind of Elsa’s powers and separate the two children so no one could ever be hurt again. The King also warned Elsa to conceal her powers and don’t feel emotions because if anyone found out about her powers, their fear of her would would label her a monster.
In a voyage to another kingdom, the King and Queen’s ship capsized during a terrible storm in the ocean. This left Elsa and Anna orphaned princesses until the day that Elsa would be coronated as the new Queen of Arendelle. Being sheltered her whole life, Anna desperately just wants to meet people and she eventually bumps into a prince named Hans. They immediately hit it off, so well in fact that Hans asks Anna to marry him, but they want their new queen’s blessing. Elsa disapproves at their spontaneous decision. She and Anna argue and in a mental lapse she shows all the guests of the kingdom her frosty powers. Everyone is scared of Elsa so she escapes the kingdom for her safety. Unbeknownst to her as she flees into the mountains, she leaves Arendelle in a state of permanent winter. Anna knows she is the only one to reverse the spell so she goes after her. Can Anna, with the help of a mountain man named Kristoff, his reindeer named Sven, and a magical snowman named Olaf, stop Elsa from from doing any more damage, or will Arendelle stay frozen forever?
Frozen is the 53rd animated feature film from Disney Studios and it fits the formula for a classic princess movie perfectly. It has a princess, or princesses in this case, that have to deal with an obstacle in life. It has a dashing leading man, or men also in this case, to help said princess deal with that obstacle. It has Broadway quality musical numbers written by award winning composers and songwriters that one of them will more than likely win an Oscar for Best Original Song. And it has both a quirky animal sidekick and a magical creature to add comic relief to not only entertain both kids and adults, but also cut the tension from the serious undertone of the movie that wouldn’t really make it a children’s movie. So just because Frozen fits the formula, does it work? On some levels it absolutely does, however it becomes convoluted in others with an over abundance of unimportant characters and songs.
The stars of the show are Anna and Elsa voiced by the beautiful and talented Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel. It’s easy to say this movie is about sisterly love, but I took away a bigger sense of a family dealing with discrimination. Now that discrimination could be from an illness, handicap, or even homosexuality. Some families will go so far as to lock people out of their home as to not let outsiders in for fear of embarrassment. That’s exactly what Elsa and Anna’s parents do to them after Anna has her accident caused by Elsa’s powers. And if you think me saying that the analogy of Elsa being gay is a stretch, then why do they tell her to “conceal, don’t feel” and literally lock her in a closet? To me Frozen is a metaphor for family members accepting each other for who they are and not what the neighbors will think of them. When Elsa is finally able to come out of her proverbial closet, she leaves her bigoted town and becomes ‘fabulous” the the tune of “Let it Go.” It’s now Anna’s job to track her down in the mountains to tell her that she is still loved and to not let the hate of the people poison her heart. Both Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel did a wonderful job with their voice acting, especially when it comes to singing. I never knew Bell had such a pretty singing voice, and of course Menzel brings her talents from Fox’s Glee and Broadway’s Wicked to belt out some amazing songs.
The men of Frozen come from two different backgrounds. Prince Hans voiced by Santino Fontana is the youngest of thirteen sons from a far away kingdom. He becomes Anna’s love interest as the two hit it off during the Queen’s coronation ball. He feels neglected by his family from being picked on and ignored by his twelve older brothers so Anna relates to the same type of loneliness. Kristoff the mountain man voiced by Jonathan Groff travels with his buddy Sven the Reindeer. He too is a loney guy as he usually has almost schizophrenic conversations with Sven. While the two characters indeed add to the plot and character development, they almost were unnecessary to the movie. Out of the two I really liked Kristoff in the same manner I liked Flynn Rider from Tangled even though he was basically the same character.
The songs of Frozen, and there are a ton of them, are fun and catchy. They may not be instant Disney classics like “Be Our Guest” or “A Whole New World,” but they do their job to tell Anna and Elsa’s story. I particularly liked “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” that is sung as Anna is growing up and tries to communicate to Elsa through her door. The film had actresses of different ages to sing the song as Anna grows up. I thought this song was extremely touching. The other major song is “Let it Go” sung by Elsa as she transforms into the Ice Queen. To just listen to the song doesn’t do it justice. You really have to hear Idina Menzel’s angelic voice accompanied by the stunning visuals of snow and ice effects as she metamorphosizes herself and creates her ice castle. The only problem I had with some of the songs were during the duets when I felt the singers were singing over themselves. I know it’s a musical, but for small kids in the audience they might be confused with the lyrics. With so many musical numbers in the movie, I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney wasn’t already planning a Broadway musical based on the movie. I can also already imagine “Frozen on Ice” the skate show.
The animals and creatures of Frozen are Sven the Reindeer and Olaf the Snowman. Sven reminded me a lot of Maximus the Horse in Tangled. He wasn’t a talking reindeer, but was still able to communicate well with facial expressions and body language. But who really steals the entire show is Olaf. He has got to be one of the most adorable Disney sidekicks ever. He is so lovable that you just want to go out and buy stuffed animals and t-shirts with his likeness on them. He has a song called “In Summer” about how he can’t wait to feel the warmth of the sun and hang out at the beach. It’s such a cute song because everyone knows the punchline except for Olaf who has no idea that heat will make him melt. Olaf is also perfect a perfect character at times, because he says exactly what the audience is thinking, especially at some obvious moments in the movie. Olaf is to Frozen what the Minions are to Despicable Me… only better. If you don’t leave Frozen thinking Olaf is the most adorable character ever, then you may just have a heart of ice.
Visually, Frozen is absolutely stunning. You get the feeling you really are in a blizzard in Norway. The weather effects are great and the snow actually looks real as opposed to cartoon styrofoam snow. My screening was in 3D and it made the whole experience even better. The 3D added so much depth to the film, especially with Elsa’s ice powers. You could tell that the filmmakers also paid a lot of attention to detail to the Norwegian outfits and architecture. On the big screen, you could see all the little details in the fabric like the embroidery in the outfits. I wouldn’t be surprised if the World Showcase at Epcot Center gets a complete makeover for its Norway area.
In classic Disney animated tradition, Frozen starts out with a cartoon short called “Get a Horse!” It begins as a simple 2D black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon reminiscent of Steamboat Willie, but quickly turns into a whole other experience in a convergence of both 2D and 3D color animation at its finest. This cartoon was so cool, it could easily be an attraction at Disney World like Philharmagic at the Magic Kingdom or the Muppet 3D movie at Hollywood Studios. This is another major aspect on why seeing Frozen in 3D is totally worth it.
I went into my screening with one movie on my mind and that was Tangled, especially since the marketing of the movie wants you to know that they also made Frozen. To me, the story of Rapunzel was a perfect Disney princess movie. It was well balanced for not only boys and girls, but for kids and adults. It wasn’t silly and it had a powerful leading lady who was a strong independent woman, which as a father of three daughters, I felt she is an amazing role model to impressionable little girls. I also thought it was well balanced between the singing and non musical moments. So where does Frozen fit into the picture? In my opinion, a slightly distant second. While the princesses are indeed charming, they are sort of forgettable. You barely see Elsa, and when you see Anna, she is all worried about meeting her version of Prince Charming. Not to spoil anything, but I was at least relieved how the movie ended. I was completely clueless to the red herrings thrown throughout the film, but needless to say, I do feel both Anna and Elsa turned out to be strong women and not just typical princesses waiting for true love to rescue them. I admit I’m not a huge fan of musicals, but I felt there were way too many songs in the movie. I know, I know, that’s what a musical is, but the film could have cut out the opening song and maybe one other song just to balance everything out. Overall, I was thoroughly entertained and so was my family. I liked the characters and the final message the movie was trying to send.
If you’re not a fan of movies with heavy musical numbers, then Frozen may not be your cup of tea, but if you love classic movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid, then you should definitely check it out, especially in 3D. The visuals are great and worth the extra bucks for the extra dimension of depth, especially with the opening cartoon and the winter effects of the main feature. Frozen is a fun movie for the whole family to enjoy.
The "let it go" sequence for me almost beats the lion kings circle of life. It is such an addictive and catchy tune I simply couldn't get it out of my head and still cant. it starts off slow and builds to a point where you have your jaw on the floor.
Its a very powerful song and I am sure most should identify with her need for freedom and escaping the fear she is feeling. I loved her subtle facial expressions when she raises the castle up from the ground that really got me. she is almost saying, this is so easy, look what I can do with ice.
The lyrics are also brilliant and relatable. Insanely good singing voice that goes WAY up past the clouds with amazing energy, there is a really powerful "YEAH LETS DO THIS" feel to it. She lifts her dress up and stomps her foot down on the floor creating a huge snow flake stating that this is where she wants to stay. Then the final part where she looks at you saying "the cold never bothered me anyway" and spins around, slamming the door shut in your face. that got me more then anything in the whole movie. Its like she just gained total control and all her fear is gone. you feel relieved for her after all the insane pressure she was put under, looking after not just her baby sister but the entire realm. I love how giddy she gets and just lets it all rip. Who wouldn't want to feel like that. Both thumbs up for that song.
The ending surprised me and stirred up quite a bit of emotion for me. I'm not going to say what happens but it was a very nice little twist and refreshing from the usual story. It was a very moving part and I watched it a few times in a row. Elsa's "cry" moved me deeply, though its brief it sounds so deep and real.
the more I watch this movie the closer it gets to passing the Lion Kings position at No.1 position.
update 18/6/14 - a few MONTHS later!
OK I am now totally obsessed with this movie and it has BLASTED the lion king right off my No1 top fav Disney movie. I have tried everything to get this movie out of my veins its making me pure nuts. The thing is that there are so many different ways to see the same story. There is Anna's funny side and adventures as well as her struggle to get through to Elsa, who is just so terrified of hurting her. Elsa is so complex you could write a freakin novel about her.
Elsa's relationship with her parents is very disturbing. Besides being totally repressed and told not to be who she is or love who she is, one scene comes to mind. Anna runs up to her parents and wraps her arms around them and is embraced back. Elsa is kept at a distance in the next scene and she actually Curtsey's in front of them. No hug no nothing. I can only imagine how many big sisters feel like this, that they have to be the responsible ones and take on all the pressure. It was painful to notice that and you can see in her face how scared she is.
Has this girl ever been hugged in her life? I think that is why I think the very last hug is so important, it could be her very first one so its not surprising when she looks for more after that one. She touches Anna all the time after that and almost cant keep her hands off her. Anna is the very same with Elsa, its sweet.
The number done on her head by her parents was unbelievable. Who is so terrified of hurting others that they don't even attend their own parents funeral? That is how messed up and scared of herself Elsa is. And she never asks for thanks, you know, for giving up her entire childhood for the sake of everyone else. she doesn't get thanked either. She just gets thrown into a room and locked away from her only friend.
Another thing I noticed when she woke up, after being taken back to Arendelle, She is CHAINED to the floor?!! Who put those chains there? Did her parents actually construct those for their own daughter? that is just the darkest, creepiest thought of child abuse I have ever seen in a Disney feature. They are not your usual criminal chained cuffs, they are specifically designed to cover the entire hand. It was simply heart breaking to see her trying to get out of them when you know she terrified and needs to find Anna, or just get away from Arendelle to keep everyone safe.
Spoiler Ahead!!!!
As much as I adore Elsa's character, and oh my god I do, especially during the reuniting of the two girls (a rare occasion you see her laughing and smiling with her sister), Anna is my favourite character. She is so damn funny in some scenes and reminds me of myself a lot. I can totally relate to how frustrating and hard it is to try to help someone who just keeps shutting you out and pushing you away. I have been there myself and it takes its toll.
You don't understand why they are doing it so you just keep getting hurt over and over again, sometimes enough to keep you away for a while. But we love them so much we just keep going back to try again. We know they don't mean it. Its scary to think that it takes Anna getting killed for her to get through to Elsa. Though I have thought about this and if Elsa had not have blasted Anna in the heart she would not have froze solid and that sword would have gone straight through her and her sister.
Anna is clumsy and awkward but when it comes down to it she puts all her own needs aside and fights to reach her sister when no one else will. Tragically she seemed to have zero awareness of the feelings of her sister either. This is the reason she gets blasted the 1st (told to slow down) and 2nd time (told to leave)and gets herself killed. She is almost like the fool in the tarot deck, blinded by emotion and enthusiasm to get through to her Big sister and almost walking off a cliff, she doesn't really pay attention to what is happening around her in a realistic manner. She is too stubborn and simply wont listen to Elsa's desperate pleas, she keeps pushing and doesn't realise how stressed out Elsa is. The lack of awareness or control makes the situation so much harder for Elsa, resulting in Elsa going out of her mind and losing control. it would almost be like someone poking you in the arm and telling you to stop being who you are, over and over again. you try to tell them you cant but they just wont listen and keep poking at your arm. I would lose it too.
During the reprise scene Elsa is so desperate to get her sister out of harms way that she constructs a huge snow monster to "escort" her out the door/area and to make sure she never comes back. The reprise duet is beyond amazing, the emotion that the animators manage to put into Elsa's character for this particular part is frightening. She actually grabs her own head trying to hold on to her own sanity but ultimately ends up failing due to Anna's pestering mannerisms. You can really feel her start to lose her mind and "explode" when it becomes too much for her. I am sure everyone on the planet knows just what that feels like. Someone pressing your buttons unknowingly while you are fighting to figure out what is going on. You want to make it all stop but you cant and start to feel so crazy. Its scary, especially when others expect you to just get on with it.
Then she finally gets Anna to leave.Its so sad to see her have to do that when everyone knows all she wants is for her sister to be by her side. You remember how well they get on at the party before Elsa runs off and when they were kids. You have two best friends here that have been separated since they were kids, no explanation no nothing. They will truly do anything for each other and that's how deep their bond is.
The top subject for me in this movie is the sheer damage that can be done to kids if they are told that they are dangerous and almost punished for being who they are by being locked away from everyone with no support. Why don't they just talk to them and let them know what is going on. Don't scare the absolute sh&*e out of them and take their only friend away. Hello like?
I am very aware that this is just an animated feature for kids and these characters are fictional but I immediately related to BOTH girls and their situations and not in a small way. This was my movie, animated or not I have never felt so connected to characters like this. It actually scared me a little as to how someone could know my life so well and not even have met me I was truly blown away. I couldn't believe it when this movie came along when I was in the very same situation as Anna. Its one of those movies that when you watch it you don't feel so misunderstood and that someone out there knows the truth. No matter how many times I watch this movie (getting ridiculous at this stage)I find little extra things every time. I also feel a little less crazy and more understood.
If this same crew ever bring out a sequel I would really love to see a huge development on Elsa's character and her relationship with her sister. Elsa still has a kingdom to run and should probably be given a new friend that has similar problems. Either that or give her a nemesis that she can defend her kingdom from. Kidnap Anna and lets see how Elsa goes about it.
Best movie I have EVER SEEN animated or not. Huge two thumbs up to all involved.
