Frozen (Disney)

[DaveGYNWA]

Right, who has seen it? I've got 2 daughters, 5 and 3 (going on 4), and we brought them to see it on Xmas Eve....then they went to see again with their mum a few days later with some friends. And we brought them again the weekend before last to see the "Sing a long" version which both of them enjoyed immensely.

They absolutely loved it - they're both Disney obsessed anyway, due to my wife being the same, and love most of the films anyway (Oldest girl loves Tangled) but this film has had more of an impact on the two of them than I thought.

We did a Christmas Eve viewing as well, and there's a review of mine lurking somewhere in the unsearchable jungle, but I thought it was pretty much perfect.  The whole family enjoyed it, boy (7) included, and there have been mutterings about going to the singalong version (although I felt the songs weren't the strongest part, even if the singing was good).  The use of architecture to frame shots, the rich use of colour and the breathtaking costume design was enough to keep me glued to the screen.  Story's not bad either.

Much better fare than some of Disney's recent offerings but some of the characterisation was a bit one dimensional.  Been inflicted with the soundtrack pretty much constantly ever since.  In summer ....

How sad are we discussing this?

Let it go, man.

My girls have mastered "Do you want to build a snowman?" together, and the eldest is almost there with "Let it go".....and they practice multiple times a day. Ah well, at least they are on half-term this week and my wife only has to put up with it all day.

I took my daughter to see Frozen (walking through a blizzard and temperatures somewhere in the teens below zero to get into the cinema) and we both loved it. A good musical with a decent story and some stunning visuals.

Not bad at all for a Disney film.

I wasnt very impressed by Frozen. Though visualy splendid I found the humour wonky, characters cut and paste (with only Hans actually being to any degree original) and story devoid of any originality.

I really dont get the love for the score eithet. I found it painfully generic! Love is an open door and the awful Let It Go had me physicallt cringing. At least the latter gave birth to a fantastic Doctor Manhattan parody.

I loved it. My daughter loved it. My wife loved it. Pretty hard trick to pull off, so kudos to Disney.

I'm no fan of singing, or comedy snowmen, but it was very satisfying to watch a film where you genuinely didn't know what was going to happen from start to finish. The relationship between the two sisters was more complex and affecting than half the so called adult films churned out in the last year. It wasn't just great animation it was a great drama, full stop.

I loved it, my gal loved it too as we watch it over xmas season, it was so funny and sweet story

I am sure many of you know what best character on the film...

It'll be back in the cinema during school holidays, guaranteed.

Agreed.  While the plot was probably entirely predictable (I groaned when the parents got on that ship), I like that it unfolded in the way I ended up desperately wanting it to: I assumed it would follow the same hateful path as most of these things, and was hoping, really hoping, that it would do what it did.  I know cynics and wiser heads will say 'sooo obvious', but if you've sat through conformist pap like Little Mermaid a few dozen times, this was a breath of fresh air.  Getting the audience to root for your protagonists to resolve their difficulties in the best way possible is the great trick of drama, it makes their success or failure affecting and instructive, and Frozen did this for me and mine.

Wife cancelled the order yesterday and ordered me to Reading's Disney store to pre-order it there instead as they've got this offer on:
