Frozen (2013, dir. Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee): fun for both kids and parents

Frozen_(2013_film)_poster3 years after Tangled, Disney is back at it with another CGI musical adaptation of a classic fairy tale. This time, it’s Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen” (1845), though there’s not much in common with the original story – there’s a Snow Queen, trolls (now cute instead of evil), a young girl, and it’s set somewhere in Scandinavia. Disney, being Disney, added in no less than two princesses :-(, but at least in keeping with the times they aren’t waiting around for a handsome prince to save them. John Lasseter’s Pixar formula is by now well-oiled and slickly executed – the humor, the intelligent animal, the sidekick (this time a talking snowman), etc. Fun for both kids and parents (thumbs up from Little Miss 4yo!)
