Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2013)

When I saw the first trailers, I didn't know what to think of the movie. It showed a snowman who seemed pretty annoying. But again, it was Disney, so I went to go eventually watch it anyways. When I came out of the theater, I was stunned. This was by far, the best Disney movie since the ones in the Disney Renaissance.
The Good:
-Great Writing and Characters: The writing to the story is funny, touching, sad, and heartfelt. The characters were also really likable, funny, and interesting. After all, these were the people who wrote Tangled, which is also a really good Disney movie.
-Superb Acting: The acting was great. Nothiing else to say about this, than good performances across the board.
-Visually Stunning: The visuals are amazing. The ice effects look awesome, the sets were good (though it sometimes seemed like we walked onto the set of Brave). My only complaint is that the people did look kind of like dolls, but it's more of a nitpick than an actual problem.
-Songs are Memorable(and not by Randy Newman)- These songs are really really really catchy, but in a good way in the sense that they are unbelievably good. They are memorable, greatly sung, beautiful, and sometimes funny. Plus, they aren't by Randy Newman.
The Mixed (There isn't really anything bad here) -
-The Snowman Character: This character was on the verge of being annoying, though always managed to tell something funny. Even if what he told was funny, he always bothered me. I really don't know how to feel about this character, but I could stand him. He's no Jar Jar Binks, but he does come close sometimes.
-A bit too many songs at the end: This is more of a nitpick, but the beginning almost seems like Les Mis (not that I have anything against Les Mis) in which that almost everything is sung. The songs are a bit more spaced out in the second act, but they crammed too much in the first act.
-Bad Twist in the Third Act: The third act has two twists. One bad, and one really good twist. The first twist isn't good. There is nothing that supports the twist and makes no sense as it just seems rushed. The third act is saved by the other twist which I legitimately did not expect. I'm not going to give away the twist because this is a great ending you don't expect.
Overall Thoughts: This is a visually appealing experience with memorable characters, great story telling, and catchy songs you'll be singing out loud for months on end. Even with a few flaws, this rivals the movies in the Disney Renaissance.
I give it 10 out of 10 stars.
