I just wish that they would have spent more time on the script. I applaud Disney for honing their CGI skills, and for finally adapting The Snow Queen to screen. For me, Tangled was much more satisfying than Frozen. Of course, it goes without saying that all of the animation in Frozen, characters and landscapes alike, is excellent. It is an unspeakably lovely display of a subject matter than CGI animation has never (in my experience) turned its energies to before, at least not like this. Deep blue ice, snowflakes, white mountains contrasting with colored skies. On the positive front, however, Frozen offers a fantastic, gorgeous take on the visual elements of winter. Unfortunately, the film descends most of the way back into mediocrity after that scene. It provides the one glimpse of true majesty, the sort of quality that would explain all of the extremely positive "this is the greatest" reviews that are being posted by others. The latter ties into what is unquestionably the best scene in the film on every level. Two of the songs, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" and especially "Let it Go," do work very well. And do not even get me started on the troll song. They just feel hastily-choreographed and not fully thought out. The songs are for the most part unremarkable, and some of the musical sequences suffer from not fully committing to dialog or singing.
Again, there is nothing inherently wrong with that approach, but in my personal estimation, it earns lower marks as a storytelling method. Unlike the best films, in which every line and every scene feels both essential and perfect, Frozen is more of a loose joyride. The dialog, in particular, is not a strength. The overall story is an interesting one, but the execution is rather sloppy and the narrative meanders a bit too much. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but it is worth noting. Second of all, Frozen definitely skews towards the younger crowd, with little to none of the sophisticated touches or wittily mature humor that have come to be somewhat more commonplace in recent animated films. I have not seen every Disney film of the past twenty years, but offhand I can say that Tangled, Bolt and Meet the Robinsons are all far superior examples well-written stories than Frozen. Even suggesting that this is the best *since* The Lion King rings false with me. The music is nowhere near that level, and the storytelling is not nearly as sharp. DeAlan Wilson for įirst of all, I strongly disagree with any assertions that Frozen hearkens back to the great Disney films of the late 80s and early 90s. She fears she's becoming a monster and that no one, not even her sister, can help her. Her mounting emotions trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she can't stop. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers. It's a beautiful ability, but also extremely dangerous. From the outside Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret: she was born with the power to create ice and snow. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom. Fearless optimist Anna teams up with rugged mountain man Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven and sets off on an epic journey to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
