Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2014)

No spoilers here----------I have never been one to throw 5 cent buzzwords around when explaining or describing things. I try to stay away from awesome, beautiful, masterful and glorious when it comes to movies because after all they are just movies. That being said: Frozen is awesome, beautiful, masterful and glorious I am actually a pretty cynical guy, I have been moved by movies in the past usually sports related titles. But I usually see them for what they are, just entertainment. Frozen is much more than that to me and since a review is usually personal that's where this one has taken me. I have heard of people being so into a piece of artwork that they can't stop thinking about it possibly even becoming obsessed about it. That may be where I am with this movie.
Frozen stars Kristen Bell (also stared as Veronica Mars) who provides the voice for Anna. Anna is a fearless, optimist but also a lonely young girl who wants nothing more than to connect with another real live person. Her sister Elsa voiced by the amazing Idina Menzel (known for Broadway hits Wicked & Rent). Elsa is perhaps the most complicated of all Disney Princess to date. She is elegant, soulful and graceful but hides a deep dark secret a curse that will show itself early on in the movie.
The twists and turns that the Disney storytellers take us on in this movie are brilliant. They provide something for everyone; action, suspense, romance, and just the right amount of cute (Olaf and Sven). After all it was Disney who taught us a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. The medicine in this case is one of the most emotional performances you will ever see. Without giving away major spoilers I will simply say there were a couple of moments when there is an actual audible gasp heard in the audience.
The first time I saw Frozen I spent the first 15 minutes thinking great; They are going to sing to me the whole movie this may be a long 2 hours. By the end of the first act I was ready to jump out of your seat and scream encore! Idina Menzel brings the house down with her version of "Let it Go". It was such a great scene I find myself watching it over and over and still get chills. When I went back for all repeat viewings I appreciated the first 15 minutes much more and even fell in love with that music too. I feel the pain these characters feel so much more after getting to know them the first time.
Some of the other reviews seem to concentrate negatively on the CGI animation complaining about it not being a hand drawn movie. They are entitled to their opinions but honestly could the visual effects that this movie provides have ever been created using had drawn mappings? We needed the technology to see it this way and I don't care how it was animated when the final product is this stunning.
This movie is an instant classic and I am confident that my great grandkids will be showing it to their kids many years from now and still enjoying this timeless instant classic. I can't give away anything so I will leave this as my official review tag line: Frozen is a beautiful work of art set to amazing music with a powerful story. That being said I give Frozen, a solid 10 out of 10. Something I have never done before and may never do again.
