Anna, a fearless optimist, sets off on an epic journey - teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven - to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom. From the outside Anna's sister, Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality, she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret-she was born with the power to create ice and snow. It's a beautiful ability, but also extremely dangerous. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers. Her mounting emotions trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she can't stop. She fears she's becoming a monster and that no one, not even her sister, can help her.

When I saw this movie in the theater I thought it was OK. I took my kid to go see it and having known the REAL story of The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, I was disappointed that Disney completely changed the entire story, only keeping four character names and the trolls: oh and snow.
This movie is horrible and one of the worst movies since Wall-E. It is filled with inconsistencies and the writers just pushed things along because the plot was completely weak that it couldn't stand on its own.
My first complaint is that the coronation of the queen took two years. So who ran the government? The church? Other political leaders? I must assume that the other political leaders ran the kingdom while the queen sulked in her room?
Then the new queen abandons her post, leaving her sister, the princess, who takes control of the kingdom by giving orders (which she wouldn't be allowed to give such orders) and then puts a visiting prince in charge??
This visiting prince then starts giving orders as if he was the king and even gives a decree later putting the queen to death? WTF? Where is the bishop or the other leaders in this mess? Why aren't the guards running a blade through this jerk's chest?
All this aside, the movie still sucked because Disney is in a rut.
Disney has follow the path of Japanese Anime which uses these huge eyes on the main characters, of course no one else in the movie has those big sulky eyes.
Then the score.
The score, the lyrics suck. If you listen to the words it sounds like the "Name Game".
Anna, Anna, Anna. Fro-anna! Ba anna, fanna fro fanna Fee fi fro anna Anna
There is no substance to the songs and they are again using a formula to draw people in with the same up-beat tempo.
In closing, this is the worst movie I've seen since Wall-E which, the more I watched it, was filled with inconsistencies and plot flaws through out the entire movie.
Frozen will make BAZILLIONS of bucks for Disney but it isn't a quality movie. It's a crap filled sling fest of horrible songs, horrible animation and horrible writing. It was created so it could be used in their theme parks and on their cruises so that parents can purchase Chinese made, plastic paraphernalia.
