Frozen (2013) - Starring Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Santino Fontana, Alan Tudyk. Written by Jennifer Lee, Chris Buck, and Shane Morris. Directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck. Rated PG. Now in Theatres.
Disney has found magic again. Along with Tangled, Frozen goes back to Disney's roots in fairy tales and also feels like a movie from Disney's last Golden Age of Movies, which featured movies such as Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. It's a brilliantly done animated musical that feels like it comes straight from Broadway, probably due to the Broadway talent both the songwriters and the voice actors they chose to cast. All of the cast members seem to be no strangers to Broadway and that definitely shows in the film.
The story is interesting enough to hold your interest the whole time and actually features some twists and turns that you might not expect. The music is great. Most of the comedic moments work just right. The visual style is exceptional. I am predicting that this film is a shoe-in for the Academy Award for Best Animated Picture.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
