Douglas M 11/30/2024 On a Saturday morning in the lead up to Xmas I put this on to watch with my four year old daughter expecting the usual straight to T.V affair but I was pleasantly surprised. The computer animation is not as polished as some of the obvious studios but there's some incredible settings along the way and there's non-stop excitement as our heroes go from one adventure to the next. A lovely surprise and well worth your time if you have younger kids.

What these creators were able to create with these things going against them is actually quite impressive. Despite coming out first, this film will always sit in the shadow of its Disney rival constantly being compared to it. However, I must be honest.... I actually kind of enjoyed this The Snow Queen just a bit more that I did Frozen. Despite the visuals being a bit stiff and the editing needing some refinement (especially in traditions), I felt that the overall movie was doing exactly what the film needed to be doing. This adaptation of The Snow Queen follows much closer to it's source material that Disney did, and I must emphasize that having the menacing blue ice queen was rather comforting with the conflict being the point of the film: The Snow Queen. The characters were the most important aspect of this film. First you had your lead heroine, Gerda, a courageous yet niive girl who ventures to rescue her lost brother. Then you had what would be her companion, Orm, a troll who served as the snow queen's minion who after joining up and adventuring with Gerda learns that he was on the wrong side and ends up helping Gerda on her journey. These two make a great pair as each works off of each other and developing their respective character arcs. On a visual level, much of the film offered pleasing backgrounds and lighting and textures that made this film feel on equal levels as films that had twice its budget. Again, the film's problems could just be simplified into one word: inexperience. When you think about Pixar, they didn't just create a studio and start making Toy Story right away. Instead they spent a lot of time practicing on shorts until they felt confident to try their hand at a feature length film. Wizart just dove right in... This is the first film showcasing a very potential studio that would ultimately use this experience to grow and exponentially fast in the years to come. See more Read all reviews
