The Snow Queen 2 was the movie that made me realize that Wizart was more than a cheap discount Disney. They demonstrated that they could make movies that were impressive enough to rival many films made with significantly higher budgets. Both character models and animation flow were greatly improved from the first film. This sequel was more like a side story than a true sequel. However, this allowed it to tell a simple story and focus on delivering a straight forward and very welcomed message. The story centers on a troll character that is ashamed of his connections with the snow queen and chooses to bury it instead of revealing it. In the process he learns to become afraid to tell other truths as well and it's the compounding of these untruths and omissions that start to build up and become an increasing problem for the main character. He has to come to terms with his problem and learn to conquer it in order to defeat his inner demons. There isn't much more than that to the story. The rest of it is a wacky comical adventure with a crazy troll and an equally crazy village in which he resides. Out of the Snow Queen stories, I will have to admit this is my favorite story of the franchise. I am looking forward to the future of Wizart and hopefully the rise of its presence in the world of animation.

About two minutes into the 3D version of this film, I turned to my friend and said, ""this is AMAZING"". And it really is. The depth of color and the quality of the details are simply stunning. However the beauty of the animation wasn't the only good thing about the movie, just the most obvious. The storytelling was fantastic and fast-paced, weaving a golden fairy-tale with a modern reinterpretation of surrounding events. What really makes the film, as far as the characters go, though, is the personalities that Wizart assigns to the animals involved. The main character's cute animal sidekick - a pet ferret named Luta - never utters a word, yet it easily steals the show with its clear human emotions and comedic timing. This is definitely a film I recommend, even if you don't have children

Charmless and boring, bears little relationship to Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, and should in no way be mistaken for a way to satiate fans of Frozen.

I was engaged in the movie from the very first note until the last line of credits. The music is magnificent, graphics are jaw-dropping (3D is a must). I watched both versions, loved both but for the short at the beginning the 3D is suggested. There are undeniable similarities with Frozen, on the main character faces and other dynamics in the movie, but it stands by itself for the story, its powerful message and for the best animation ever. Snow Queen offers a wonderful entertainment for all ages and it will definitely be a movie to own in a near future.

There's a frenetic, eye-popping quality to the visuals that forestalls the kind of emotional engagement Disney can offer, but there is some entertainment to be had here.

Rated: 3/5
