The movie Frozen is an animated movie, loosely adapted from the tale ’The Snow Queen“ by Hans-Christian Andersen. With this movie, Walt Disney Pictures created a new great box office hit, directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. As it is an animated movie, there are just synchron speakers, but with Kirsten Bell, Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff it has a good cast anyway.
The movie tells the story about two princess orphans, Elsa, who has the power of conjuring ice, and Anna. Elsa can’t really control her power, so after a accident she excludes her sister and every other human except her parents, who drowned at a boat trip, from her life and at her crowning day she can’t hold herself back anymore, exposes her power and runs away. The movie differs from other animated, and especially other Disney Movies in that way, that one time, it’s not all about the big love which need to be found, it’s about the importance and strength of family, when Anna goes after her sister to bring her back home, while teaming up with the mountain man Kristof and taking a lot of risks. On her way, she meets speaking stones, a snow monster and snowman Olaf.
Considering the pressure that lays on a child movie to facilitate children the right values, Frozen was a comprehensive victory. With the snowman Olaf, who is on my opinion the real star of the movie, Disney brings along a lot of humour, and makes the movie a real success. But it also tells the story about betray and that you cannot trust everyone, even if he claims to be the big love of your life. Apart from the story, the whole animation and details are just stunning, for example, right on the beginning the workers on the ice or the sea storm scene, where the princesses parents are drowned, the kings town itself, the dresses, or the hairstyles, which are my favourite. The songs in this movie didn’t annoyed me, as it happens often when I watch child movies, I really wanted to join and sing with them. All in all, Frozen brings together important childhood lessons, emotional highs and a funny event for the whole family, in a light format where you can just have fun, no matter your age.
