Frozen - Review
Disney's magic is back after 20 years, this film is by far (without counting the Pixar ones) the greatest one they have released, I never had so many different emotions while watching a film, it will make you laugh and cry multiple times.
Mild Spoilers! - The main plot centers about Elsa, a princess going to be queen who has the power to control and create ice and snow but after an accident in which almost kills her young sister, Anna, she has to stop making magic and no one can ever see her doing that stuff. Everything goes bad for Elsa, as she has stronger powers everyday but her parents forgive her to use them and try everything to control them until all gets even worse when the king and queen die from an
accident, she becomes alone with no one knowing her secret until the coronation day where she gets angry about her sister and uses her powers accidentally. She goes far away from the city unknowing she started a never ending winter. Her sister, Anna, will go to find her and try to convince her to use the powers to stop it and everything become normal again but that won't be easy.
The story is very interesting as it has many different kind of scenes from action to comedy passing to drama and musical. Yes, there are lot of songs and good ones specially "For the first time since forever" and the great "Let it go" which will win for sure an Academy Award next year.
If you loved the old Disney films like Beauty and the Beast, the Lion King and Little Mermaid, you are going to love this one too. While this movie is based on "The Snow Queen" (I actually preferred that title over Frozen) it doesn't share anything from the old tale except the main character, Elsa, but nothing else.
The animation is very well done, the best one even from Pixar films, I really hope it wins a couple of Oscars as it deserves it!
The characters are very different from each other, we have the funny one, Olaf the little snowman making funny jokes all the time, Kristoff and his reindeer are the heroes who help Anna to find her sister and Anna herself who remember a bit to Rapunzel from "Tangled", she's a funny and foolish character that all children will like. And then there's Elsa who's the best from all of them, it's a dimensional character with feelings that you will feel sorry for her and feel her pain...I actually felt connected with her (for personal reasons that I'm not including here, hehe) but she's the main reason why I loved this film!
· What I liked is the main character Elsa (I felt in love with her in an instant) and the entire casting, the songs are well made for the first time since a long, long time. I was actually afraid they'd include too much comedy (like they did in Tangled) but it was good they didn't. The story is entertaining and the ending is sad but beautiful!
· What I didn't like is the other main character, Anna, who has too much screen time, don't get me wrong, she was good but I'd prefer to see more of Elsa who is, in all ways, a more interesting character. Another thing I didn't like was those small creatures that looked like rocks and ogres, they weren't funny neither important for the movie plot.
