I went to see Disney's "Frozen" in our local cinema. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. Normally I do my research before going to a film so that I at least know the context of the story. I hate spoilers but I usually want a general idea of what the movie is about. Due to the fact that Thanksgiving was yesterday and I just forgot, I had no clue other than a teaser I saw a month or so ago that had Olaf the Snowman and Sven the reindeer.
When the opening credits started I felt a chill up and down my spine - but the good kind of chill. I did not realize the movie was set in Norway or at least in Norwegian style land and the music was absolutely astounding! I found myself laughing with the little kids in the theater and actually surprised by a twist in the plot.
While it was a traditional Disney story, it was very well done and I found the cultural change a welcome one. I wouldn't expect I mind blowingly unique story. It is very much a traditional style fairy tale. It is, however, very fun story with beautiful scenery and music as well as talented singers. The characters are heartwarming, even the reindeer, and it's a fun holiday movie for the kids. Because of the digital effects it would be nice to see on a screen that has a digital projector, but I'm not sure it's worth the gas money to drive a long way to see it. But if you're in town and can go, do! Its very beautiful animated.
