What was branded as the best Disney since the 'The Lion King' actually feels more in keeping with everything Disney has been churning out since then.

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2015)

This is THE MOST overrated movie of all time. There, I said it.
This is so beloved by kids and teenage girls everywhere that from the way they talk about it you'd think God himself had come to them and told them that this movie is the one true faith, that's the level of love they give to it. That love is misplaced. Let's look briefly at why.
The plot sees two princesses and one, Elsa, is about to become The Queen but has ice powers and freezes the kingdom putting it into perpetual winter. Why does she have these powers again? The movie never bothers to explain. Anyway, she runs away in fear for her life and sings THAT song. You know the one. The one so annoying that its writer has issued an official apology for it. We are supposed to be sympathetic towards her plight but she's been such a *female canine* towards her sister that it's difficult to feel anything but a feeling of 'Serves You Right, You Meanie'.
But she's not even the worst character in this movie. I'll admit to writing several fan-fiction pieces devising unpleasant ways to kill the abomination that is Olaf (my personal favourite is called "Do You Want To Kill A Snowman?") but at least he serves a purpose in the story sort of. Once, JUST ONCE, I'd like to see a Disney movie where the 'wacky sidekick' character (Disney's phrasing) is not annoying and actually manages to be funny. Olaf makes even Jar Jar Binks tolerable! And that's before we get to the Rock Trolls.
All that and anti-male sexism too! Every man in the film is one of three things: Idiotic, Evil or Foolish (Kristof, Hans and The King respectively). The closest the male audience gets to a decent role model is Olaf and you know there's a problem when that happens. Speaking of the evil man for a moment, Hans is so at odds with his earlier character traits when he is revealed to be the villain it's almost as if the writers got to the last half-hour or so and realised "Quick! We haven't got a villain yet!". He's probably the least interesting villain in Disney history.
To reiterate what I said in my summary: What was branded as the best Disney since the 'The Lion King' actually feels more in keeping with everything Disney has been churning out since then. AVOID!!!
