The cold never bothered me anyway

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2014)

This latest Disney movie is a rather fun experience filled with beautiful animation and catchy tunes. Based on an imaginative new story, the film is directly aimed at young girls (and women who are young at heart), and has some surprisingly profound and sophisticated messages about emotions and relationships. That's not to say that young boys (and old coots who are not particularly young at heart) cannot enjoy the movie as well.
I felt the movie really soared with the "Let It Go" number. This is when I sat up and thought, "what the hell?" It's difficult to dismiss or belittle Disney when it is able to present magical scenes like this on the screen. "Fixer Upper" and the love scene at the end were also uplifting.
Else was in many ways the central character in the movie. I loved the fact that Disney resisted the temptation to make her an evil character, but rather turned her into the much more interesting persona that she is.
After seeing it twice, I feel it's worth about 7.5, but I'm willing to round my score up to 8. One problem with this movie is that it is the chickest of chick flicks.
