What's the hype over this movie? I don't get it.

Rating: 3/10 (24 January 2014)

Frozen...was a disappointment. :( and this is coming from a huge Disney geek. The reasons? 1. fails to explain how Elsa got those unique powers in the first place. 2. the parents death was a joke. so easy, and just put there as a necessary transition for future plot sake. 3. despite the fresh theme and sheer potential with snow and ice elements, there wasn't enough visual satisfaction. 4. it seemed like the movie worked with limited funding. the background scenes were so minimal! they could have done so much more with snow, the interior of the castle, the kingdom, the clothes, the mountain, etc 5. would have been better to see how Kristoff grew up with the trolls
Disney movies are usually very complex, with deep character development and messages. also visually sensational. Frozen fails to meet par.
Shows how hard it is to produce a classic, especially when its Disney trying to outdo Disney.
