The music is fantastic, but Frozen still has problems

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2014)

Disney finally came to their senses and said, ''Alright, Pixar is going down hill, and we have our own Disney animation studio, so let's make a movie like The Lion King and our classics.'' And they did do that, but in modern times.
Frozen is pretty much the definition of a hit and miss. So many great hits, but lots of small misses.
1. The Music The music is fantastic, when it needs to. My favorite is Do You Want to Build a Snowman? It's a great song, but I felt like it attempted to be the song 'Married Life' from Up, but with dialog. And it did the job well, but I kinda wished it was longer and added more emotion. Other great songs are Let It Go and both the versions of For The First Time In Forever, however, like I said, the music is great when it needs to. What I mean is, unlike The Lion King, they added songs that were pointless and annoying. An example? The Picker Upper. It's the song that should of just left in the first place. Nobody understands the lyrics, and it's just a plain bad song. Other pointless songs include the Olaf summer song and the Ice Cutting song. The Lion King had all the songs at least have a meaning and helped the plot.
2. Plot Notice how I said plot, not script. The story being about a girl with ice powers how make summer a winter wonderland is great. And the twists and turns are also impressive.
3. Animation Perfect animation, the dresses, characters, everything pops in beautiful animation.
Now let's get into the misses Frozen has, and boy it has a lot.
1. Comedy Olaf is pretty much the only source of comedy you'll find in Frozen, unless you like very awkward, and dumb modern comedy. In an animated film, you have two routes, story, and comedy. Free Birds took the comedy path, not having a care in the world about story. Pixar movies, besides Cars 2, go both routes. Frozen, for the most part, goes mostly on the story route, but forgets comedy until Olaf comes on stage.
2. Runtime/Script Frozen, really needed to be at least 2 hours, but since this is a kids movie, it's close to an hour and 30 minutes. If this was 2 hours, Frozen might of have the chance to slow down and reveal emotion. As I said in music, Do You Want to Build a Snowman needed to be longer to show what it needed to be. And something that disappointed me greatly was that I was hoping for maybe a scene on how Elsa got her powers, like maybe she was born in ice or something.
While Frozen does have its problems, the music and animation really does its possible best, making it an 8/10.
