If this doesn't prove Disney's in a 2nd Renaissance, I don't know what will.

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2014)

A prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, so Anna must team up with Kristoff, a daring mountain man, on the grandest of journeys to find the Snow Queen, who just happens to be her sister Elsa, and put an end to the icy spell. Encountering Everest-like extremes, mystical creatures and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.
This is a really really good movie. If this doesn't show that Disney's in a 2nd Renaissance, I don't know what will. However, there are some issues I have with this movie. One is a "twist" at the end of the movie that I'm not a big fan of, but I won't spoil what it is. Also, there's a group of trolls who serve little to no purpose other than singing a silly "comedic" song number. Speaking of the songs, that's one thing almost everyone has been praising about this movie. And they're all very good, for the most part. I think they're all enjoyable, it's just that with the exception of a song Elsa sings at one point called "Let It Go", none of the songs really struck me as something that I'd sing in my head every now and again. I know music's all subjective so I'll let you decide if the songs are good or not.
If I can praise the movie for one thing, it's the character of Elsa. I won't say too much, because of spoilers, but I really liked how they handled her character. The story of her character alone is worth the price of admission, in my opinion. If I could talk about all the other characters, there's also Anna, who's one of Disney's better female protagonists, and she gets nice development as a character. There's also Kristoff who's very likable in his own right. If you're thinking he might just be a clone of Flynn from Tangled, don't worry, he's not. Speaking of being worried, if you're thinking Olaf is going to be annoying, he's not. He's actually really funny, and every other line out of him will leave people in stitches.
And of course, since this is a Disney movie, I don't even need to say that the animation is fantastic. Though, while it's animation is great, I like last year's Disney movie, Wreck-It Ralph, from an animation standpoint more. Wreck-It Ralph just did a really good job of combining multiple styles of animation together, and animating all the game characters in the background must have taken quite a while. But still, Frozen, from an animation standpoint is fantastic.
Overall, Frozen is another great addition to the Disney movie line-up, and now one of my new personal favorites. Great animation, great and memorable characters, good story, it's just a really good movie. I give it around a 9.3/10, and a high recommendation.
