I grew up on
Disney musical classics, and I loved them all. The songs were easy to sing
along to and super catchy. As time passed, we all got older, and Disney kind of
lost its grasp on the whole musical thing. They started producing non-musical
animations, some of which struggled at the box office.
Then along came Tangled, which, to me, wasn’t as great as the old
classics, but it did bring back some of that musical feel we were used to.
Disney dared to make a musical again, and it was well-received and financially
successful. So, Disney Studios dusted off their shelves, found this
long-awaited project, started production, and the rest is history.
Frozen is
based on Hans Christian Andersen’s book The Snow Queen, but with the dark
setting removed and family-friendly fun added. When the music started, I didn’t
feel the urge to skip it—it was fun to listen to. So, I sat there and enjoyed
every bit of it.
The animation was simply pleasant. The light effects on the ice and the snow
generated by Elsa were both fascinating and sad, just as the story intended.
I won’t say
something like, “Frozen will keep you guessing,” but it will keep you
glued as the events unfold. You’ll be curious to see how it all ends, and that
curiosity builds as more things are revealed. For that, I applaud the writers.
The story
follows a young princess named Elsa, who has the ability to create snow and
ice. One night, while playing with her sister Anna, Elsa accidentally freezes
her. Their parents seek help from trolls, who heal Anna and remove her memory
of Elsa’s powers.
To keep Elsa’s abilities a secret and to prevent her from hurting anyone again,
the royal family isolates themselves from the world. But after the king and
queen die, Elsa and Anna emerge from the castle as Elsa is set to be crowned
queen.
The coronation turns the kingdom into a winter wasteland, prompting Elsa to run
away. Anna then sets out to find her sister and stop the never-ending winter.
The voice acting
was excellent, and the story’s pacing was steady and well-done. This is a movie
I’d enjoy seeing again, and one you can take your family to watch. Plus, the
way it is making waves and the money it is set to make in the box office, I can
be sure Disney is already working a sequel.
