Enjoyable Fairytale!
Frozen is supposedly based on Han Christian Andersen's story "The Snow Queen", however little of the finished film seems to be related to this story. This isn't really a criticism--I am just trying to clarify the premise of the movie.The story is basically about two sisters--one who eventually becomes queen and one who is her younger sister, a princess. However, the Queen, Elsa (Idina Menzel), has a huge problem that is never really explained in the film and that is she has magical powers to make things freeze as well as to create snow. While this seems great, it's also a dangerous power and one she cannot fully control and she could accidentally kill someone. On the day of her coronation her powers are exposed--and she disappears into the mountains to live life apart from others.The younger sister, Anna (Kristen Bell), decides to go after her sister, to reason with her, to bring her back to her kingdom which is suffering an eternal winter, so she abandons her kingdom and gives control of it to an almost complete stranger! Along the way she meets a guy who is to become an obvious love interest and together they seek out Elsa and try to bring her back to the kingdom to end the perpetual winter!The film is glorious to watch. The CGI is absolutely lovely as are the character designs. However, it's a film that looks great but whose story is less than stellar. Part of it is because the characters sometimes do inexplicable things (mentioned above), part of it is because parts of the plot are missing (such as explaining how everyone LOVED the interim leader yet hated him later--after he'd actually done a good job in regard to the people as well as why everyone suddenly hated the guy from Weaselton) and part of it is because there were too many distractions when the main thrust SHOULD have been the relationship between the sisters (the reindeer and guys got in the way!) Still, it is worth seeing, especially if you don't spend too much time thinking through the plot. Plus, many might enjoy the more Broadway style of the music, as Idina Menzel really pours it on when she sings (as do the rest, though she clearly overshadows them with her magnificent singing).Frozen is overall a lovely, enjoyable cartoon and it's just that a lovely, enjoyable fairytale! One that mummy’s and daddy’s can feel happy watching along with their children. Highly recommended

Good movie, but scary for younger kids.
I'm not gonna write a full review of Frozen here. The only people who haven't seen it or heard "let it go" sung badly by overworked housemums on the school run in the morning to stop the kids yelling "are we there yet?" in the horrid traffic, are eskimos.But, what I WILL say is that it's not suitable for very young kids. This is a typical Disney thing. All their movies start off scary, then become a journey to counter the scary start. Both kids tried to watch Frozen (because they loved the music they'd heard), yet both ran away in fear because it was too scary. So if your kids are under 5, skip this for a year or two.

For days you just don't want to see another Peppa episode.
Good movie, My 2 year old likes it, but finds the snow man/monster guarding Elsa very scary and I had to stop and explain to her what it was. Might be better suited for 3 year olds. The music is amazing and you will be singing the songs together by the end of the movie.

Great songs but the story needed fresh eyes
We watched the 'making of' on Disney+ before watching the movie so we saw the trials the movie went through during its development. One of the biggest issues was 'finding' the story and having seen the movie that issue was never really solved. There are a lot of mythic elements (the dark sea, the elements etc) which in the end are never really utilised, and the focus of the climax is on the very pedestrian dam. Giving the story to a fantasy writer would perhaps have capitalised more on the potential. It was clear, however, from the 'making of' that the top creative force in the production are the husband-and-wife songwriters, who do an excellent job here. Without the songs this would have been a 1 star sequel like the old direct-to-video ones Disney used to knock out (Pocohontas 2 etc). With the songs it's a 3 verging on a 4.

not the cold shoulder.
a charming and hugely enjoyable cartoon - the characters are extremely well portrayed in a story reminiscent of so many fairy tales. i was most impressed by the expressions and gestures of the characters (which has me convinced that the cartoonists had access to acting live models for their reference - look at the scene where the red-haired girl presents the gift of a new sleigh - superb!) - a great family entertainment.

Best spent couple of pounds...
My younger one (6 years old) was in love in Frozen for a very long time so finally we decided to get the DVD rather than depend if it will be available to watch on our online subscription services.She watches it almost every other week (dressed in Ana dress) so it was probably the best spent couple of pounds (as we got it used).

A must have for Frozen and Disney fans
This was a must purchase for my then two year old who has been obsessed with 'Let it Go' (as she calls the film) since her first viewing. I won't share the story, I'm sure that most people are aware of it as it has become ubiquitous over the past couple of years.The DVD arrives with all six of the main characters on the cover (great for little ones who love to point them out). The DVD has easy play which is great for the little ones. You can put it in the player and it will auto play without needing to select menu options. We've played ours countless times now and the DVD is standing up well.Whether it's as an addition to a Disney DVD collection or a must have for a Frozen fan this is an essential buy for all fans.
