Finally a Disney animated feature that's a true musical again! The songs were well-written, beautifully performed, and spaced out evenly throughout the film. Bravo to Disney for remembering what made the films of the Disney Renaissance special. Frozen has a complicated and somewhat less conventional plot for a Disney film, especially for one with princesses. Building on the themes of individuality in Tangled and Brave, Frozen is much less about romance with a handsome prince to solve all your problems and more about staying true to yourself as the real way to true happiness. Plus, don't ever take advice from trolls.

3.5 Stars (out of 5)

This film looks tremendously better than Disney's recent works. Tangled, Bolt, and even Wreck it Ralph don't come close to the richly textured world of Frozen. Also, it's rare to see a widescreen format animated film, but it really added an epic feel to everything and the 3D was used tastefully bringing the rich backgrounds to life. In other words, now that Pixar is waning it looks like Disney is ready to pick up the slack. As long as someone fires their trailer cutting staff!
