Frozen

This review may contain spoilers!

The fact a modern day Disney film can even make it into my top five animated Disney films list is a testament to how good Frozen is I feel. I would give Frozen a 9.5/10.

Wow high rating you're probably thinking to yourself; no way it's anywhere near that good. Well I think you need to prepare to have your mind blown. This film uses fantastic animation that we couldn't even have imagined in the era of Walt Disney but now brings this original classic to life. The musical numbers are beautifully done and I'll admit I got the entire soundtrack straight away. The plot is a funny yet emotionally intensive family film about the power of true love in respect to family rather than true love, which I thought was a bold move and a really nice one. I applaud Disney for taking the princess genre into an entirely new theme and I hope to see some more growth now that we've seen an African American princess and a story that puts 'the right man' as a second place to family.

Kristen Bell is hysterical as Anna, I was in love with this character and found her to be a character I enjoyed onscreen. Jonathon Groff, who played Kristoff, was another character who was a little rugged, eyt very sassy and enjoyable. I also have to say Santino Fontana, who voiced Hans, betrayed me in the most wonderful way; a predictable villain but one I hoped wouldn't be one right up to the last second.

However the honourable mention goes to Idina Menzel, who played Elsa, which was also my favourite character. If you're looking at tragic backstory, character relationships and character development well sit yourself down, watch Frozen and let Elsa pull the ol' heartstrings. I doubt there will be an animated Disney character who is quite as memorable as she was for a long time.

However this movie was not a ten, I have to state that. It was predictable, but that can't matter too much when it comes to a kid's film and it really doesn't impede the film unless you over analyse it. What I really marked this film down for was Josh Gad, who played Olaf, which was generally an entertaining character but he did wear on my nerves sometimes and became a bit annoying.
