The visuals are poorly conceived, with characters that are hardly more expressive than Weebles. The vocal performances are uninspired and uninvolving.

Rated: C-

The message gets muddled with plot strands going every which way, though the real culprit is some awkward animation.

Rated: 1.5/4

A Russian animated adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, Snow Queen proves both visually cruddy and narratively muddled.

Overall I can't really recommend The Snow Queen to adults because I didn't really like it very much. That being said, I do not have kids but if I did they could do a lot worse then watch.

This movie is such a mess, and is clearly a cash grab because Frozen is coming out from Disney this winter. It's like when Transmorphers came out on DVD right when Bay's Transformers came out.

Rated: 1.5/5

unlikely to stay long in your memory, but Snow Queen might sustain younger viewers

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.

Even though it was released a year before Disney's Frozen, it is still considered a rip-off of Frozen, and its plot is boring, its CGI is not at its best, and the voice acting is annoying.
