Frozen movie review

Information about the movie can be viewed here.

Frozen was the first princess Disney movie that is memorized in my brain. I did not understand reasons behind its popularity and still remembered it had something to do with the ice bucket challenge.

                      

The visual effects in the movie is incredible, the scenery of the kingdom, princess Elsa's dress and ice castle are all stunning showcase in the movie. The music is gorgeous and brings a fresh taste of Disney's pursue of freedom. 

One thing I remembered clearly is that I could not identify the villain in Frozen the first time I watched the film. I can feel the villainy in prince Hans but not a significant one. He seemed like a decent guy who tries to rise in power but ultimately failed.  He has the intent to kill but princess Elsa also has such power when she used the ice magic in front of the public forming blades of ice that nearly hurt the guests. 

The movie is inconsistent sometimes. The development of side characters did not leave an impression to me or made much a difference in the film. The movie consists a lot of sub plots and takes a long time for them to converge.

The movie is unlike many other Disney’s princess movie, there are two princesses in the first place. The movie tries to make audience pay more attention toward Anna whose story is not very interesting, sometimes I find her childish arrogance does not actually accomplish what directors wished.

Interestingly there is also not much love relationship going on with Frozen’s male and female characters. There is no true chemical love, to say the least, besides the sister love between Elsa and Anna. It is an atypical Disney princess film that might invoke controversy.

I was never a devoted fan into Disney’s Princess movie, but I found the controversial discussion on Disney’s films interesting. The Han’s twist in the movie certainly confused a lot of audiences who are expecting Han to be the typical prince in a Disney film.

I appreciate Disney challenging its traditional love story and still manage to attract audiences and make the film a global phenomenon. Maybe that is the power of Disney magic.

                            

At this point I am still not quite sure the reason behind the feverish crowd. Maybe Disney has never made a snow princess before? But certainly parents were going to take some time to explain to their kids the reason behind Han’s betrayal.

While many claims Frozen to be the best animated movie of 2013. I have seen more enjoyable films for myself such as How to train your dragon. What is certain is that Disney really took different approaches in the film that is different from Disney Classic: there is no love interest, but has diversified story lines.

                        

One fundamental reason behind the controversy is that villainy in Frozen is not convincing and undesired by parents. There is no clear separation between good and evil but I have to give credit to Frozen for this confusion because it does represents the ambiguity of morality in real life even though the prince was condemned at the end of the story. 
(ps: Sorry this is not the best movie review, quite busy this weekend with 5000 words due, while that is college right :D)
