Another Disney Classic

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2014)

Once again, the artists and writers of Walt Disney Animation Studios have outdone themselves with their 53rd animation feature, the amazing Frozen (2013). An enchanting combination of fairy-tale, fantasy, humour, songs and of course the traditional happy ending, Frozen carves another heart-warming and inspirational Disney animation.
Although the picture expected a success, its expectations were massively surpassed, of course in the best way possible. Anticipating a $250-300 million box office revenue upon its opening, the movie passed over $300 domestically and another $343 million worldwide. In its sixth week of release, the film remarkably revisited the No1 spot in the Box Office. Fully enjoying and engaging in the Disney epic, I understand the reasons for this phenomenal success.
One of the reasons being the inspiring and heartening narrative. Having accidentally hurt her younger sister, Anna, as a child with her icy magical powers, Princess Elsa is forced to isolate herself from her sister (and the rest of the world) and hide her powers in fear of further harm. However through an accidental use of her powers during a heated discussion with her sister, Elsa causes an outbreak of an eternal winter and is sent into exile. With help from the hilarious talking sidekick snowman Olaf and others, Anna is in pursuit of her older sister.
Decorated with a dazzling digital palette, which creates a stunning framework for action, this is a highly enjoyable, romantic, engaging and exhilarating feature for all the family. Additionally, I could not ignore the relatable storyline of an older sister who grows up and shuns her younger sister. This is a familiar dynamic to any child who has had an older sister or friend. Further, the film is about growing up; something Disney is very good at portraying. Growing up, becoming your own person and learning not to be ashamed of who you are.
A requirement for Disney, and other animated kids movies is the hilarious irreverent sidekick. Frozen's is in the form of a chatty snowman is adorable and his antics are genuinely funny – the character to cause most giggles from me personally. In his Summer song while fantasising about all the fun he would have in the warm weather is incredibly witty as he is completely oblivious that he would melt in reality. Mentioning the Frozen songs, they are pretty good. Although I'm sure they could get annoyingly catchy, they are witty and utterly predictable.
Being a huge fan and lover to Disney my whole life, I was expecting to love their captivating blockbuster Frozen. It most definitely lived up to my Disney belief as I was completely engaged in the movie. I loved and enjoyed every moment. As well as the amazing visuals and animation, the characters, dialogue and songs combined created a remarkably heart- warming, encouraging and hilarious picture.
