Entertaining watch for the whole family that adjust the Disney formula just slightly to stay fresh and current while wow the viewers with spectacular icy visuals.

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2014)

A simple premise with the different take of the ice queen that is misunderstood. With her family plays a vital role in this version, the story focuses more on the true love among relatives rather than the usual Disney romance. The visual notwithstanding, it looks as good as a current CG animated movie could be, with the animators focusing fully on the spectacle of snow and ice. It is not to be undermined with, the visual effects would definitely leave you in awe. The main characters are different enough with a twist from the usual Disney staples, giving enough variety to be entertaining throughout the movie. The performances in the musical scenes certainly touch the hearts of the viewers with their emotions shines through. It has to be mentioned that by knowing who voiced the ice queen, the experience of hearing her voice coming out of that character takes some time to get used to. The formula has been executed almost flawlessly but there are valid reasons for there to be differing opinions, especially on how the story eventually ends. It is a new, risky way for the studio to tell the classic story in this modern time that surely warrants praises as well as maybe criticisms from the minority that still attach to the classics. A great rebound follow up to 'Brave', showing another strong lead female character that emphasize on the strong value of family love.
