Quite Good!

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2013)

Though not as inventive or as gorgeous as the fantastic "Rise of The Guardians", an animated film that didn't get as much recognition as it deserved, "Frozen" is way up there, especially after a couple of years that hasn't shown much in the way of storytelling. Films have been impressive in their presentation, but their tales have been, to say the least, a bit thin.
Going back to sources that are close to "The Little Mermaid", is no coincidence that "Frozen" (loosely based on "The Ice Queen") gives us quite a charming film. The music is good, not on the level of "Mermaid", but good enough to support the film, to hum along with it, and is a good match to some gorgeous visuals, and three or four animated characters. I was particular impressed by Olaf and the two sisters, especially the Ice Queen, who had more depth, both in its animated portrayal and personality.
The story tells us of the conflicts brought upon a pair of sisters, as one has the gift/curse of transforming her surroundings into a deadly combination of beauty and cold. People will admire the transformation but will also shiver because of the fairly realistic presentation of the power and harshness of this type of environment.
An accident separates two sisters who love each other, and on the day of the older sister's coronation, an emotional outburst sets off one tragedy after another. Soon, the hero/heroine must find a way to bring everything back to normal; however it is pretty clear that it won't be an easy task, and most importantly, things are not always what they seem. The main idea here is that beauty is dangerous in one way or another.
"Frozen" is piece full of wonders, strikingly beautiful and with the ability to connect in many levels with both children and adults. We will all love Olaf and his innocence, will understand the need to restore the broken bond between the sisters, and will also yearn for the love that everyone wants in their lives.
The film is very good.
