The best animated movie of the 2013

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2014)

"Frozen" was a pleasant surprise for me: I was a bit skeptical about it at first after seeing the previews (Which gave me the impression that this movie was just a repetition of the "Tangled" formula in a different setting) Fortunately, "Frozen" surpassed all my expectations, being very close to the spirit of Disney classics from the nineties (such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin") but with a couple of interesting twists which subvert many of common tropes associated with the animated films from this studio.
The visual aspect of "Frozen" is excellent, with spectacular sceneries and very appealing character designs. While I'm not the greatest fan of musicals, I have to admit that the songs were quite effective and nice to hear.
I liked the way in which the main characters at first sight seem to be like the typical figures from fairy tales, but the movies gives them more depth and charm in order to portray those archetypes in a different perspective. And despite my initial doubts, Olaf turned out to be a convincing comic-relief, being much less annoying that I was expecting.
Considering how disappointing the 2013 was for animation, I think that "Frozen" could easily earn the title of the very best of the year, above the enjoyable "Monsters University" and the more than decent "The Croods". If definitely has my vote.
9.5/10
