I felt like Frozen was a mixed bag: not as bad as I feared it would be, but not as fun to watch as Tangled or as subversive as Brave. Go to Full Review

The songs aren't good enough to stick in your head and the characters aren't good enough to be iconic, but Frozen is pleasant enough. May it have a long life on ABC Family, clogging up your weekend TV holiday schedule for years to come. Go to Full Review

It is an emotionally strong departure and far more meaningful affair from the usual good-versus-evil simplicity of other animated efforts. Go to Full Review

The musical choices are great and the visuals they create to go along with it are absolutely stunning. It has all the sillyness and fun you’d expect from a film like this and it’s hard to not like it. Go to Full Review
Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film 08/12/2024
3/5
The plot is thin, the characters...are annoying, and their motivations are puzzling...It does not help that the "villain" here is vague, and the benevolent characters never complete their "hero’s journeys". Go to Full Review

Kara 08/17/2023 Great characters, lots of humor, and heart paired with beautiful music, animation, and story. A perfect movie. See more Robert 08/13/2023 This is absolutely amazing. I can’t thank whoever’s idea it was enough to show this in theaters. My daughter enjoyed this movie on the screen at home for the longest time so being able to share this with her at the movie theater was truly something special. See more Johnathan 08/06/2023 Movie holds up fairly well after 10 years. A timeless Disney classic. See more Brian 08/05/2023 Saw it for the first time on the Disney 100 year anniversary re-release and really enjoyed it.. I get why little girls are still dressing up as these characters and singing their songs despite being born after the film’s release. Disney doesn’t make them like they used to. See more Andrew T @ATMOVIEGUY 2h Frozen is one of the best movies Disney made in the last decade. Its beautiful animation, powerful story and themes, solid voice acting, and incredible soundtrack all make it one of the studio's greatest works in recent years. However, I will admit I did not like Hans as a twist villain, given how poor his execution was. He was, however, better executed than Bellwether from Zootopia, as we do see him evil during the later half of the movie when he tries to kill Anna in the study of her castle. I kind of wish that we saw him getting bewitched by the trolls, like a theory suggested. That said, Frozen still holds up to this day, even if it has a weak villain. See more Marco L @decatur555 5h Frozen is a film that goes beyond being just an animated hit. For many viewers, it’s inseparable from personal memories, especially when it becomes part of a child’s early years. That emotional connection changes how the movie is experienced and remembered. What stands out over time is how well the film holds together. The story flows smoothly, balancing classic Disney elements with subtle twists on familiar fairy-tale expectations. Rather than relying on exaggerated villains or heavy-handed lessons, it focuses on fear, fractured relationships, and learning to love without turning sentimental. The songs are central to its identity and remain instantly recognizable, while feeling naturally woven into the story. Olaf, who could have been irritating, ends up being genuinely charming thanks to his restraint and sincerity. Visually, the film still impresses, with carefully crafted snow, ice, and lighting that reflect Disney’s technical skill. See more Read all reviews
