Frozen review

Posted : 6 years, 3 months ago on 19 January 2018 04:59

is one of the worst of disney before this the only good thing is the animation

the characters are annoying and it's not even worth talking about all
the music is really bad at least in la la land they did not exaggerate it and it was more than decent here without songs the film would be approximately 50 minutes or less

the story is boring, slow and predictable with things without sense hans had nothing to become villain

practically do things without logic but as it is disney everything is worth shit


the movie is a fucking shit if you want something better than this see moana

I deserved to win the wind rises that monsters university was or in the end won ernest and celestine the croods until despicable me 2 deserved more to win

even so I do not recommend seeing it and it remains like the worst Disney 3d movie
of the worst animated the second worst in 2013 ( the worst is movie 43 )
and from the worsts of all time

es una de las peores de disney antes de esto lo Ășnico bueno es la animaciĂłn

los personajes son molestos y nisiquiera vale la pena hablar de todos
la mĂșsica es malĂ­sima al menos en la la land no lo exageraban y era mas que decente la mĂșsica aquĂ­ sin canciones la pelicula seria aproximadamente de 50 minutos o menos

la historia es aburrida , lenta y predecible con cosas sin sentido hans no tenia nada para hacerse villano

prĂĄcticamente hacen cosas sin lĂłgica pero como es disney todo es vale mierda

la pelĂ­cula es una puta mierda si quieren algo mejor que esto vean moana

merecia ganar the wind rises que monsters university estuviera o de final ganaba los croods ernest y celestine hasta mi villano favorito 2 merecia mas ganar



aun asi no la recomiendo ver y se queda como la peor pelĂ­cula de 3d de disney de las peores animadas la segunda peor del 2013 (superada por movie 43) y de las peores de todos los tiempos

0/10

A Thawed Effort

Posted : 8 years ago on 18 April 2016 05:56



I completely get the appeal to young kids, girls and boys, but few elements translate to decent entertainment for adults. It was rather disappointing, after hearing all the hype.

Turns out the only thing that deserves the hype is the music, and even the music wasn't that great, besides 'Let it Go'. And all those various renditions storming youtube are often times more well done, even with the amazing vocal talents of Idina Menzel.

Thankfully the animation is still pretty to look at, even if we have to believe a snowman stationed near a fireplace for several minutes wouldn't melt.

It's been awhile since I have watched an animated movie but shame on me as Frozen is one of the best and most uplifting movies I've seen in quite awhile. People used to call animated movies children's movies but I'm in favor of removing that description as I'm sure it stops a lot of adults from watching these movies.

If you're a movie fan of any type make sure you watch this movie as you won't be disappointed. Romance, adventure,intrigue,outlandish landscapes,talking animals,etc. what more can you ask for? It was a lot of fun and it also is for the whole family.

I wish this would be required watching for individuals that have given up on ..... Anything. Maybe there is hope for the future.

An average movie

Posted : 9 years, 4 months ago on 15 December 2014 10:16

After being overshadowed for nearly 2 decades by their own Pixar and even by Dreamworks, Disney is finally going through a renaissance and, with this movie, they even managed to break the record of the most successful animated feature ever made (a title previously owned by 'Toy Story 3'). Well, to be honest, I didn't expect this movie to become so huge and, after watching the damned thing, I actually think it is rather overrated. I mean, don’t misunderstand me, it is definitely a gorgeous animated feature and I'm really glad Disney finally managed to create their own style. Indeed, they are the only one on the market who has created a style seemingly mixing CGI animation with some good old hand-drawn animation (a trend they started with 'Tangled') and the end-result was just really impressive. So, what was my problem then? The main issue I had is that they went basically for an animated musical and while I can see that this idea was massively popular, it kind of bored me. I mean, sure, some of the songs were pretty good but when I see a character breaking out in a song every 5 minutes, I can’t help thinking that they are actually trying to hide the weaknesses of the story. Still, I have to admit that some of the songs were actually really catchy. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really blow me away, it is still a really solid animated feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

The best animated movie since 'Wreck-It Ralph'

Posted : 9 years, 10 months ago on 16 July 2014 04:09

"Let it go!" said Elsa (Idina Menzel). I said "No don't! Don't let go of your Oscars! Because 'Frozen' is the best animated movie since 'Wreck-It Ralph', an Oscar losing masterpiece!"

I don't care what idiots are going to say, 'Frozen' is the icicle masterpiece! It's 100 times better than the 'Ice Age' quadrology. 'Frozen' is like King Midas. King Midas received a golden touch. Elsa received a frozen touch.

While Pixar are currently lacking in creativity (I'm talking to you 'Brave' and 'Monsters University'), Walt Disney Animations are getting better at writing great movies! 'Wreck-It Ralph' was better than 'Brave' (by like 500 miles). 'Frozen' is better than 'Monsters University' (by like 100 miles). Yes, Pixar had their go at at Disney Princess movie and it was disappointing. Walt Disney Animations have the wide variety of great Disney Princesses including Snow White (Adriana Caselotti), Belle (Paige O'Hara), Mulan (Ming-Na) and now Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa.

The voice cast are charming and we see the return of Alan Tudyk who appeared in an Annie winning performance in 'Wreck-It Ralph' as King Candy. Now he plays the Duke of Weselton.

The characters in this movie are loveable, Olaf (Josh Gad) the snow guy, is the most hilarious of all. Elsa is the creative one with her icy powers and etc.

'Frozen' won the Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, Critic's Choice Award and Annie for Best Animated Feature. With this kind of movie, we can't let it go. The song 'Let It Go' is so memorable (and kids at school know it so well)

Note to Disney, don't ruin 'Wreck-It Ralph' or 'Frozen' with direct-to-DVD Disney sequels, make great sequels, or quit while you're ahead. You can't ruin these two masterpieces! Perhaps, a 'Wreck-It Ralph' sequel where Felix (Jack McBrayer) is bored of his job and there's a Hero-Anon Support Group with maybe Mario (absent from the first one), Sonic, Pacman and all the other video game heroes!

Disney has become classic. It was there at the start, it will be there at the end. We're less than 10 years away from the 100th anniversary. Guard it well and keep up the good work! I can't wait to get a taste of Disney's other movies

Frozen review

Posted : 9 years, 10 months ago on 7 July 2014 02:46

i'm a fan of animated movies and this one made me love again and again those sweet kindhearted stories and i'm still amazed to see how great those films are fun to watch.
this movie is not great like Tangled or The Lion King but it's not far behind.
i was not really sure if i would like it at the beginning because i thought there was too much singing part but this jewel from Disney as it all... it's sweet,it's lovely, the characters are charming and the screenplay is original and the conclusion of the story is marvelous and adorable and it's impossible to not fall in love with the sweet Anna.
My Rating : 3.0=Magnificent - My Pleasure Meter : 4.0/5.0 Stars

FROZEN is this year's TANGLED

Posted : 10 years, 2 months ago on 4 March 2014 11:26

The Disney studio should be in happy for this year’s Academy awards nominees. They got this movie in the short list of the best animated movie. The live shot ‘Saving Mr. Banks’ and ‘The Lone Ranger’ got nodes to compete with others in different categories. Whether they win it all or not Disney people will be more than satisfied for the nomination tag for their movies which will stay forever.

A decade ago, people called Disney is done and dusted but in recent couple of years, it was a great come back for them. ‘Tangled’ put them on the track, now with this wonderful family movie they are more confident. Yeah, I loved this movie a lot for many reasons. It was fast, sentimental, romantic and had adorable, cute 3D character models.

I think Disney studio is following on the footsteps of Studio Ghibli. I believe they found their strength in the name of the young girl’s role in their recent movies. Like Rapunzel for ‘Tangled’ this movie had Anna. Both the movies backed by pleasant music and admirable animal character with awesome facial expressions for humorous in parts of the storytelling.

I had seen all the nominees of this year’s animation movie, except Studio Ghibli's ‘The Wind Rises’. I liked ‘Monster University’, it was fun, but ‘The Croods’ attracted me a lot. I was hoping French animation ‘Ernest & Celestine’ could win, but after seeing it no doubt on why it got the honour. So I am happy for this movie's win at the big event.

9.5/10

Frozen review

Posted : 10 years, 2 months ago on 25 February 2014 06:02

Disney is really good at making excellent movies about princesses, but this one actually brings something new to the table. The characters are really interest especially good old Olaf who really steals the show in this as played by Josh Gad. Also the cast itself is pretty remarkable as well and includes Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Alan Tudyk, and Santino Fontana. The music was fun, enjoyable, and probably one of the best of Disney Movies' soundtracks. In my opinion this is probably one of the best movies Disney has made in a long time. It even has an amazing twist that I really don't think many people would have expected. I think if Walt Disney were around he would have been quite pleased with how this turned out. I recommend this to people of all ages. Support Frozen!

Frozen

Posted : 10 years, 3 months ago on 9 February 2014 05:53

Nothing says Disney like taking a dark fairy tale and only adapting the thinnest and most generic parts of it into family friendly entertainment. This process has proven to be hit and miss over the years, but, for some reason, they always turn out good work with Hans Christian Andersen. Frozen is no exception to this observation.

The original fairy tale concerns a young girl trying to save her best friend before his heart freezes due to a piece of a broken mirror created by the devil poisoning him. The Snow Queen abducts her best friend, and a robber girl, some crows, a princess and a reindeer help her along the way. Also, there's a witch that has her cottage cast into eternal summer and a few other diversions factor into the overall plot. Much has been stripped down to its essential elements, which is a bit of a shame since The Snow Queen is one of Andersen’s finest, grandest stories.

Disney keeps the concept of a young girl seeking out to rescue someone before her heart freezes, a plucky reindeer, a snow queen and that’s about it. It takes these generic pieces and creates something special and very charming out of them. Finally a princess movie from Disney that acknowledges the long-standing tradition of the two main characters marrying after knowing each other for roughly twenty-four hours, or less. Granted, this is a carry-over from a fairy tale, but those are from a time when that didn’t seem totally out of the ordinary. And it takes a nice feminist stance in having the two main female characters save the day by working out their relationship problems with each other instead of relying upon a male character to swoop in and save the day.

One of Frozen’s biggest problems is that for a musical film, with about a dozen songs, only four of them are remotely memorable. “In Summer” is the goofy sidekick song, and in this case it’s a snowman named Olaf voiced by Josh Gad. Gad’s vocal performance throughout is endearingly ditzy and deadpan, and I’m convinced they allowed him to ad-lib quite a bit. “Summer” sees Olaf dreaming about what it would be like to experience warmer weather and do whatever it is that snow tends to do in these circumstances. “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” starts off as a bit of cute pleas from a younger sister to an older one, but ends up quietly breaking your heart as time passes and we see the fractured relationship between the two of them, and the abusive decision by their parents, has left both of these women in emotional tailspins. Did I mention that this happens at the very beginning of the movie? Well, there you go. “Love is an Open Door” is a meet-cute between a prince and princess that features an Arrested Development joke and some joyous harmonies. 

But all of these pale in comparison to Elsa, our snow queen, belting out “Let It Go.” A song that feels like a gay pride anthem laying in wait as she releases the pain of her past and embraces her inner-fabulous drag queen. Idina Menzel, one of the shining lights of Broadway, gives Elsa’s coming out song a great reading, building it up slowly before releasing the vocal pyrotechnics towards the end. It’s a showstopper and no musical sequence after it even remotely compares. Just give it the damn Oscar already. Disney has the market cornered in Best Original Song category, and for good reason – these songs work outside of the film, but they’re essential to telling the story.

But “Let It Go” also points to another problem with Frozen, some of it peaks too soon. I didn’t need the trolls song, which I found unmemorable and felt that it was nothing but filler. But an even worse offense is how the animation looks identical to Tangled. Elsa and Anna look just like each other, and Rapunzel. If one were to think about Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora they would think of an overall Disney style of character design, but they each possess their own unique facial characteristics. Not Elsa and Anna, and the studio was done no favors by head animator, Loni DiSalvo, stating that female characters were harder to animate than men  because they must remain pretty at all times. It seems a bit lazy to work so hard to create personalities that are more relatable, and then have them look the same as each other and a preceding character.

But Frozen remains a solid film, one that is easy to embrace and makes great strides towards presenting a stronger female agency in its characters. It’s got the laughs, a few enjoyable songs, a pleasing overall look despite feeling very similar to Tangled. I just wish that Disney would go back to hand drawn animation. Think of how lovely Frozen would have looked in watercolors, pencil and ink! Ah, maybe one day they’ll return to that format.

Disney's greatest animation since Tarzan.

Posted : 10 years, 3 months ago on 3 February 2014 07:35

When looking back at the fifty-two previous feature films from Walt Disney Animations, the vast majority would perhaps refer their favourites to be during the Renaissance era in the 1990s and those made during the early days of Disney. Their latest, and fifty-third, animation Frozen continues perhaps the second Disney Renaissance and implements the true, enchanting magic of Disney that we have not seen for a long time. Based on a Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, whose other work has been adapted by Disney before - The Little Mermaid, Frozen possesses the identical traits to the greatest eras of Disney animations. In fact, excluding Pixar, it has become easily the greatest animated Disney feature that has practically everything we would expect of it: heartwarming characters, beautiful story, breath-taking visual effects, energetic songs and most importantly - heart that leaves an important, moral message.


The main aims of Disney animated films over the years have been to not only showing magic, but emotionally experience it. Frozen implements the fantastical, fairy tale-like enchantment that we have not seen from Disney in a long time. To a certain extent, the film not only revives traditional Disney magic but pays homage to it. For example, the castle of Arendelle resembles the actual Disney castle in Florida. The enchantment centres from there and its surroundings enhance it. In addition, Frozen may be for a different generation, it possessed the same type of energetic songs that have been so successful for Disney over the years, especially “Let It Go” which is perhaps the greatest song in Disney animation since “You’ll Be In My Heart” in Tarzan. Similarly, Frozen was filmed in 3D animation, opposite to the majority of past Disney animations. The effects enhanced the magic with its sublime detail of particularly snow, ice and water. On a technical level, if there’s anything that Frozen has taught us, it’s that Disney magic still lives with perhaps the opposing style of animation - 3D.


Other aspects of Frozen which has made it a superb Disney classic is the heartwarming characters, who each resemble characteristics to those from the past. Anna is a traditional Disney Princess, particularly like Belle with her energetic passion and loyalty to her family as well as Ariel, with her instant romantic connection to Hans. Anna’s older sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, takes a slightly little adjustment to supporting characters within Disney narratives. Her unique ability of creating ice and snow with her hands was the audience’s first impression of what the film was going to be about and yet, it is that which brings the two sisters together. Possessing power is normally a Disney antagonist’s passion but in Frozen it shifts away from that and becomes something different by going more personal. Furthermore, Olaf the Snowman is a humorous and delightfully original supporting character. It became an interesting concept of a snowman’s desire to live in the summer, and the creativity of that side of the plot worked. Olaf resembles those characters, particularly in the Disney Renaissance era who became side-kick material to the protagonist, such as Genie in Aladdin, Timon & Pumbaa in The Lion King, Mushu in Mulan, Phil in Hercules. In that sense, Olaf provides a new meaning to certain Disney supporting characters with his personal ambitions yet pays homage to them.


Although we have seen delightful Disney animations in recent years, none of them compare to the true Disney magic that Frozen possessed. All of the greatest classics have left the audience with important messages and Frozen certainly does that - love is the ultimate healer and the best way to defeat hate is to love. In that sense, it is a heart-melting treasure for both adults and children. Nevertheless, Frozen is the type of film that even Pixar need at this moment and it could be the first Disney animation (excluding Pixar) to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Picture.
