This animation lacked the power and energy of Frozen (2013). While it’s another fun ride into the unknown, filled with strange creatures and weird events, it doesn’t capture the same level of excitement and fun as the first movie. That said, the visuals are just as magical.

In simple terms, if you liked Frozen (2013), you’ll probably enjoy this sequel—but not as much as the original.

Disney seemed to think what Frozen (2013) was missing was more songs, and in the first twenty minutes of this movie, we get about four of them. Unfortunately, none of these songs come close to Let It Go or my personal favorite, Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

Frozen II introduces a new adventure, and unlike the first movie, it focuses more on the past and a mysterious situation where an entire community is locked away from the rest of the world. They continue to live, grow, and have children, but they can’t leave the place they’re trapped in. That place is the enchanted forest, which Disney tries to make intriguing with a five-minute glimpse into the past at the beginning of the film.

Frozen II is the 58th animated film by Walt Disney Studios and follows another sequel, Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018), which itself was a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph (2012).


The CGI-animated story starts with Anna and Elsa as children, hearing stories about the enchanted forest from their parents. For me, this didn’t do enough to build interest, but I imagine it might work better for younger audiences. Fast forward to the present, after the events of Frozen (2013), and we’re thrown into a musical fantasy. We learn about the Northuldra tribe, who live in harmony with the four spirits of nature. Though they aren’t magical themselves, they use this connection to wield magic.

Elsa and Anna’s grandfather, the king at the time, built a dam for the Northuldra as a gift. However, during the celebration, a fight broke out, angering the spirits. As a result, the forest was sealed off from the outside world.

Now, our heroines must solve the problem. What problem, you ask? Well, Elsa is hearing a mysterious voice, and her actions have awakened the spirits, causing chaos. It’s up to Anna and Elsa to set things right.

In the end, the animation was just average, and I ended up liking Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) more than this one.
