Over-hyped for sure, but not bad. Worth a watch or two.

I'd say Frozen is worth your time. There are a lot of clever ideas to be seen in this spectacular effort which threw Disney back on top of the animation hierarchy after a slowly coming back with the previously released "Wreck-it Ralph", "Tangled" and "The Princess and the Frog".
I at first fell into the "hate it"-camp, but decided to watch it anyway to form my own opinion. I was positively surprised.
I think the musical score has a the most memorable numbers to come out of the Disney company since "Tarzan". "Let It Go" is a catchy tune and even though it has been played to death it certainly deserves credit. The scene in which it is played is simply astounding. "For the First Time In Forever" serves the movie well, because it moves the story forward just like "Do You Wanna Build a Snow Man". That is the purpose of songs in musicals. I wasn't very keen on Olaf's and the Tolls' songs to be honest. The Trolls' song felt out of place and Olaf's did not add very much to the story.
It was pleasant to have Olaf as a more quiet comic relief instead of loudly yelling ones from movies like "Treasure Planet" and "Bolt". Olaf's relationship obsession with summer was funny and had a good and heartfelt pay-off in the end.
The animation is along with the music the highlight of the movie. It was beautiful, nothing more to say.
The movie also makes fun of earlier Disney clichés like falling in love with one you just met. That is clever, and I enjoyed it all the way through.
Sounds like a flawless movie? Think again! The villain is not good. Even though he explained his motivations which were decently clever, it felt forced. It was one of those last-minute villains.
I think overall the hype has killed a generally well done movie. I think Frozen is good, but not among the greatest Disney animated movies.
