Frozen

A cute fairy tale and probably a well-deserved Oscar. There are too many songs for my taste, but the central one is very cool. Visually, the film is great, there is a typical twist and a pretty emotional finale, so definitely above average, although I am not the target audience and there could have been more humour... 75% (10/31/2018)

Strangely built. In the first half, nothing at all happens. There are too many songs in every other scene and they seem unnatural and forced (just a regular musical with questionable quality of production) to finally start something in the second half (such as Hans Christian Andersen à la Disney) and suddenly the songs start disappearing until they disappear completely (final half an hour). Beautifully styled and thanks to the second half even more for boys than one would expect from a "princess fairy tale with way to many songs". Which, in any case, does not change the fact that it is undoubtedly more for the girls, and the role of the male characters, which are clearly in numbers here (perhaps except for Olaf and the reindeer), corresponds to this.

I’m not claiming that animated films for kids should be supported by a logically bulletproof story, but bugger me, if I’m already squeezing such a complicated plot, I would make damn sure that it makes sense at least within its basic framework, but in Frozen I said WTF way too often. Yet I won’t deny that I had some solid popcorn fun. Officially, only three stars for the film, the fourth is for “Let It Go” :-) (01/19/2014)

The 53rd Disney Feature Film After years of avoiding the whole Frozen phenomenon, I finally have to admit that as a Disney film, this is an enjoyable watch. The main theme is about the power of the sisterly bond, which is refreshing. The two main characters are interestingly written, and the new concept of female characters who are independent is overall a nice touch. The stylization into Andersen's Scandinavia is also successful. I'm curious about the new direction of Disney's world. New cartoons really don't have to be just for girls and boys, because it's a win if the whole family has fun. (06/06/2019)

While it's more of a feel-good musical than a children's story full of plot and classical themes, Disney hasn't done this well with a similarly-tuned fairy tale in a long time. Regardless, it's really something to watch, the animation is perfect, the story is suspenseful, the characters are adorable to beautiful (the girls are really good) and the humour is just the right kind to suit any pompous critic with an icicle up their ass. And the music, which usually bothers me elsewhere, was really charming and good this time. The best animated flick of the year, that’s very clear... 80% (01/31/2014)
