Movie Review: Disney's FROZEN

December 1, 2013

The Verdict:

I loved the movie and the song Let It Go!!! Satisfaction guaranteed! Paisa Vasool :D

THE FORMULA THAT WORKS FOR DISNEY:

1. Tweak a fairy tale so that it resonates with the audience of the day.2. Create beautiful and memorable character cartoons.3. Add in an inspiring score/Original Sound Track (OST).4. Headline the OST with a heart-tugging number covered by a popular young singer of that

period.5. Add in some gorgeous and awesome visual effects to make the animation unforgettable.

... AND VOILA YOU HAVE A GUARENTEED FAMILY ENTERTAINER AND A HIT!!!

In the case of Frozenas well you have all the elements of a typical Disney that works. The factthat its released over the Thanksgiving weekend is but icing on the cake and almost redundant.Whether or not you have a sister Elsa and Anna are adorable. I loved the fact that Anna as achild tried to coax Elsa out of her room through the key hole and the gap under the door. Thedynamic of sisterhood will made me chuckle and tear up it turn. The nuanced characterizationwhere no one is completely good or bad and the unexpected twist in the tale add to texture of thecartoon. The dialogue wil l also in turn make you laugh out loud and mist up:

Conceal, dont feel.Some people are worth melting for .... just not now

A selfless act of true love will thaw a frozen heart

Princess Annes awkward verbal diarrhoea and clumsiness when she bumps into thegood-looking Prince Hans is too cute.The Duke of Weseltons verbalized greedPrince Hanss description of growing up with 12 older brothers!!

Annas reaction to Kristoff being an ice trader in a frozen Arendelle!!!The trolls treatment of Anna when Kristoff takes her to them.Olaf and Annes reaction to the Kristoff talking to rocks (the trolls)Olafs love of summer and Anne and Kristoffs aside whether to tell Olaf that hell become apuddle...like parents debating whether to tell a kid Santas not real!!!!

The characters are beautiful and hilarious. Characters that rocked:

Olaf the snow man who loves warm hugs, summer and beaches, his carrot nose!!!!Reminded me of the white bat Bartok inAnastasia, although Olaf is more naively adorablerather than wisecracking like Bartok.Family as characterized by The Trolls.Sven the reindeer has almost as much personality as the royal stallion in Tangled.I loved the fact that the manipulative Duke is routinely referred to as from Weasel-towninstead of WeseltonThe monotonous gentle giant Oaken is hilarious and is great comic relief.

All the songs are amazing, the opening song/theme Eatnemen Vuelie by Smi musician FrodeFjellheim's will give you Goosebumps...in a good way and the snow mans song is hilarious butLet It Go will capture your heart. It joinsAladdins A Whole New World; Beauty and theBeast;Anastasias At the Beginning and Journey to the Past; Mulans True to Your Heart

2/2

and Reflections; and The Lion Kings Circle of Life as one of my favourite Disney songs.

The film is also visually appealing. The inspiration from Norwegian Fjorde is so worth it. The icepalace is breathtaking as are Elsas Snow Queen make-over (The snow queens dress, shoes,palace, icicles in her hair), the frozen Fjorde, and the freezing fountains.

While Im sure kids-Disneys target audience-will enjoy the film, those of us who grew upwatching Disneys iconic hits like Beauty and the Beast,Aladdin, The Prince of Egypt,The Lion

King, Mulan, andAnastasia will also take pleasure in the experience.

Frozenlives up to all the hype of a Disney film. Disney rules the musical reworked fairy talegenre!!!!
