Oh wow. Oh jeez.
Okay.
SO MANY things done right in this movie. I don't even know where to start. John Lassetter produced, and clearly he just has a magic touch. I don't know why I expected any less. But yeah, Frozen was unexpectedly amazing.
There were several flip-the-Disney-trope-on-its-head moments, which I really appreciated. I'll try not to be too spoilery, but I love how they spend so much time making fun of the engaged-to-a-guy-you-just-met. And the necessary, saving act of love was between sisters. And that its about sisters. It's a sister movie. YISSS.
The animation was gorgeous. Beautiful, and exactly right, despite all the female character design complaints that have been going around. Both sisters were beautiful. And the setting was just as amazing as in Tangled.
I think my favorite was the humor. Let me just say, "valiant pungent reindeer king" are words said in this movie. Also the word gassy is included in one of the songs. And let me just say this. Any movie with a song called Reindeer are Better Than People is BRILLIANT BY ME.
And the music. Freaking Idina Menzel man. Idina Menzel. I would post a video of The Song if I didn't want to spoil it for you. But you'll know it when you hear it. In fact, my main complaint would probably be that they during the credits they had somebody else do an autotuned version of The Song when you already had FREAKING IDINA MENZEL.
Not to mention Josh Gad and Alan Tudyk and Ciaran Hinds.
So yeah, now my roommate and I are listening to Idina on repeat. Go see this movie.

A pleasant time for anybody who sees this, even the parents themselves. Good review Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it. And yes, it's about the bond of two sisters more than anything else.
ReplyDeleteAnd a snowman with his heart set on summer...
Loved your review.
ReplyDeletenice...my boys want to go see it...and i am intrigued by it actually...glad you gave it the thumbs up...might be in the plans this weekend...
ReplyDeleteI've not seen that much advertising for this movie, which is odd, but I'm glad so many blog friends have clued me in. It's on my go-see list.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, and I definitely want to see this movie, even more after reading this. I like a good animated movie that could potentially be a Christmas classic. We need more of those. Thanks for the fantastic review.
