I absolutely hate it. It’s an absolute dog’s breakfast.
Now I know you’ll say ‘oh it’s only a kids’ film’ but that’s not an excuse for being shit. There are loads of brilliant kids films, half our DVD shelf was kids films before we even had kids. There are so many properly wonderful classic films that are for kids. This however is not one of them.
Firstly, the premise is stupid. Why the hell does no-one explain to her why her sister is ignoring her? And why is she just locked in a room? What the hell? You wouldn’t just let that slide without any kind of attempt to help. Is it supposed to be a metaphor for her older sister growing away from her? Cos if it is, it’s well hidden. There’s no attempt at character development in the situation.
And that **** snowman – Jesus. “Oh wait, we’ve got no dorky comic relief character. Let’s just stick one in. The film’s beautifully anamorphically drawn, but we’ll toss a stupid meaningless cartoon snowman in there for laughs” FFS
The characters are worthless, the whole film is rambling and thoroughly pointless. Songs are ok but that’s about it.
If you want to see how it should be done, watch Brave.
Let’s be honest you’re not really the target audience though. And Brave is shite, or so my wife and daughters tell me.
I personally prefer Tangled too, but it isn’t as magical for kids as Frozen is, and the box office bears that out.
My favorite of the lot is Princess and the Frog.
