Disney’s: Frozen

Frozen is an animated comedy/adventure film produced by Walt Disney Studios and was directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. It premiered worldwide on November 27, 2013 and has a US box office grossing of $397M as well as earnings of over a billion dollars worldwide.
Setting the record of Disney’s 53rd animated feature in the industry this film has received tremendous attention among critics whereas some are labelling it as Disney’s best animated musical for its two academy awards and the Golden Globe award among other prestigious awards.
Let’s take an adventure to see what has made this film such a tremendous success!
The film tells the story of Elsa and Anna, the Princesses of Arendelle. Elsa is the older sister and she was born with the ability to shoot ice from her hands and make Ice bridges and a Castle, and apparently even make a dress with her ice powers, you wouldn’t want to be her when the sun comes out. When Elsa and Anna were little, they used to play a lot in the snow, she would often use her magic ice abilities and make the entire castle into a snow park, then one day Anna got into an accident and almost died, and since then, Elsa was always distant from her sister. Now fast forward a couple years, Elsa is ready to be Queen of Arendelle, but she freaks out and loses control of her powers and everyone else freaks out so runs off into the mountains and lives in an ice castle completely cut off from society. Anna then teams up with a goofy oaf of a man called Kristoff and a magic snowman called Olaf. They then go on an adventure to track down her sister and bring her back.
What was captivating about this film is that it was insanely different from any other Disney animated movie. It tosses the entire “Prince Charming” and “True Love” clichés scenario out the window that has been plaguing Disney movies over the years! It is also the first film in the industry that completely shunned the idea of “marrying a boy you just met” which most of the films did. It completely brought in reality and logics although it was a fiction film.
I immediately stood from my seat in the theatre and clapped! I wholeheartedly commend Disney for its mixture of emotions portrayed in the film since it was realistic down to the very emotional level.
I would encourage anyone, even if you’re not a fan of Disney movies or even animated movies in general you should still watch this movie, it has something that everyone can relate to and of course it’s an excellent movie to sit and watch with the family.
Now for my personal rating, I would give this movie 4 ½ stars, because there wasn’t one moment that I was bored watching it! (I’d like to thank my best friend Norman Gobin for providing insights for this review! Thank you!)
