Review:
'Frozen' is a computer-animated musical-fantasy film directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. It is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen".
I was late to the party with this movie. I actually hadn't seen it until it was out on DVD and I rented it from my local movie store. I was surprised by this movie because I didn't see all the hype around it, and that made it more enjoyable.
It tells the story of fearless princess Anna (Kristen Bell) who sets off on a journey alongside a rugged iceman (Jonathan Groff), his loyal reindeer, and a naive snowman (Josh Gad) to find her estranged sister, Elsa (Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.
All of the voice acting in this movie is incredible. The actors really take the form of these characters and bring them to life. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel are both admirable as Anna and Elsa, while the rest are also full of personality.
What brings it to the table even more are the songs. There is a sense of Broadway indeed, blending it with its wondrous animation makes it more captivating. Sure, most of the songs became over played almost immediately after the soundtrack was released, but you can't say they're bad songs. They're great. The animation is also beautiful, showcasing the beauty of both the characters and the atmosphere around Arendelle.
Overall, the movie is beautifully animated and has a great cast of voice actors. It may not have the best re-watch factor, but you will enjoy at least the first viewing.
4/5
