We all went to watch \u201cFrozen\u201d last night.\u00a0 \u201cFrozen\u201d is the newest Disney animated movie and is roughly based on \u201cThe Snow Queen,\u201d one of Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s fairy tales.<\/p>\n
This is definitely one of Disney\u2019s better animated movies (I\u2019m excluding the Pixar movies from this comparison, as that wouldn\u2019t be fair.)\u00a0 The story is interesting and even has a bit of a plot twist.\u00a0 The animation, especially of the ice castle, is stunning, and the music is impressive.\u00a0 Elsa\u2019s character is voiced by Idina Menzel, from the Broadway music, \u201cWicked.\u201d The relationship between the two sisters, Elsa and Anna, is complex and loving.\u00a0 Comic relief is provided by a snowman, Olaf, and a reindeer, Sven.\u00a0 (It is Disney, after all, so look for stuffed Olafs and Svens in a Disney store near you.)<\/p>\n
There is also the requisite romance, but since that part of the movie is part of the plot twist, I won\u2019t say anything more.\u00a0 It is interesting that the narrative arc, while consistent with all other Disney animated movies, is more complex and rich in this movie than is typical.<\/p>\n
There is also the requisite tragedy (the death of Bambi\u2019s mother still haunts me decades after seeing the film the first time).\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say that you shouldn\u2019t get too attached to Elsa and Anna\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n
All in the family (including the teenage daughter and the tween son) enthusiastically give \u201cFrozen\u201d a thumbs up!\u00a0 We highly recommend seeing it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
