A Disney Fantasy for Kids

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2015)

Frozen is a fantasy musical movie that features Elsa who has supernatural powers through which she can freeze anything that she desires. She does not have complete control over her overwhelming powers but manages to keep it in check by wearing gloves. Elsa is about to be coronated but upon the discovery of her hidden powers, she is labeled as a freak which forces her to leave the castle and escape towards the mountain.
Her sister Anna who believes in true love sets out to bring her maligned sister Elsa back. The plot is clichéd and is quite predictable at times. Even though the animation is breathtaking, the story leaves a lot to be desired as a little more inventiveness is expected from Disney.
The primary problem with this movie is that it is too childish and it can be painstaking to watch for most adults. If you compare this movie to any respectable Pixar movie, it pales in comparison as the latter always makes films that are enjoyable for all age groups. The magical tale is filled with predictable occurrences which take away the excitement and it makes the climax much less tense.
Frozen will likely be popular with kids but will be hard to sell to others due to the overly optimistic tone. The songs are good as well with 'Let It Go' being the best of the lot. A good movie that does not offer anything new in this genre.
