Review Time! #2: Frozen



I honestly believe that, although I can not guarantee it, both kids and adults will enjoy this. If you're a kid and you've not seen the movie yet (which I highly doubt is possible- most people I know have seen Frozen), you'll probably enjoy it because the animation is AWESOME! It's so intricately detailed. For the adults, the thing that you'll probably like if you haven't seen it with your kids or even by yourself, is that it's not the love between the princess and the prince; it's the love between the two sisters that saves the day. And Idina Menzel plays Elsa! Also, fun fact! Frozen is loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen."

Summary Anna and Elsa are two royal sisters - princesses - and they love spending time with each other. Anna is a bubbly little girl who thoroughly enjoys being with her sister, a rare thing for two siblings. The girls have a secret between them- older sister Elsa has special powers that enable her to create winter indoors. But having fun with these powers can lead to consequences… Elsa accidentally strikes her sister in the head with a bolt of snow, causing a white streak in Anna's red hair. Although it did not hurt her, when Elsa and her parents seek help from some rock people (just watch the movie), they tell Elsa to keep her powers concealed under gloves while the memory is erased from Anna's memory.  Later on, the parents are killed in a storm on the sea (don't worry, not that big a spoiler- this happens early in the movie). However, her powers grow stronger every day, and by the time of Elsa's  coronation, something goes wrong and she causes an eternal winter. Watch the movie to see how the two sisters vanquish the winter that will go on forever.

You would like it if you've read The Snow Queen, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Matilda

Good for ages 7+ … for people of all ages, but it might be a bit too distracting for younger kids.


What should I review next?
