Sisters, One afflicted, musical portrayed in Scandinavian setting

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2014)

I've read some pretty nasty reviews and wondered if they watched the same movie I did. I think these people don't understand the Disney tradition. This is a "classic" Disney flick and one Walt Disney would have been proud of. I am an older person and of course I don't go out to the movies much but sat down and watched it at home, my grandkids copy. I was a music major in college and I can tell you anyone criticizing the songs, singing and anything musical in this movie simply has no musical education. The music is wonderful and the main character was NOT Elsa but Anna, even Disney has stated this. This movie has made a world wide impact with children and that is really what sets the mark for a movie like this. I'm appalled anyone could use the word "worst" in any sentence about this movie. It was a delight to watch. Kristen Bell did a wonderful job. The inspiration came from the Hans Christian Andersen story, Snow Queen, with Disney doing their own magic.
Frozen grossed a worldwide total of $1,267,838,009. It is the fifth highest-grossing film ever, the highest-grossing animated film, the highest-grossing 2013 film. That's pretty good for a movie some are panning here. This movie was outstanding. "Let it Go" won an academy award for best song and the movie has been put in 41 different languages it is so popular. They say it's a phenomenon because kids aren't moving past it all over the world, many know the lyrics to all the songs. This had a monumental impact on people all over the world. It drew attention to Norway and also the Sami people. Tourism has risen because of this film. For someone to even suggest this was a bad movie amazes me and I definitely wouldn't hire them as a critic."The Los Angeles Times extolled the film's ensemble voice talent and elaborate musical sequences, and declared Frozen was "a welcome return to greatness for Walt Disney Animation Studios." I loved this film and plan to watch it again. It was a huge success in Japan and obviously here too. Maybe Disney movies aren't everyone's cup of tea but it definitely is not the worst Disney movie or a bad movie at all. I recommend it to anyone who likes movies in the flavor of the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. This one has a little something for all ages.
