Frozen Review

Concept is very cliche Disney-ly but liked it as it retains its essence. Basically the theme is LOVE and it involves princes and princesses again, and ofcoz, the sidekicks who always seems to be great silly buddies for the happy times in the movie.

The whole plot seems very Snow Queen feel, presenting her in a very different way. Then there was the issue about siblings, loneliness, and finding love. Alienation occurs to the Queen due to her powers, the silly guy Kirisoff is a Forever Alone guy only until the end where he actually finds a girl. The main character is again over-loving and ove-persistent in reaching out to her sister, the Queen, which had no choice but to be aloof with her.

The resolve is when we found out love is the cure to the power, and then the main character sacrificed herself to protect the sister. And then happily-ever-after.

Songs, Let It Go is presented well from the pace of the music to the sound, it transits well from the verse of "hurt, escapism, abandonment", then the bridge, the "let it go, cant hold back anymore" part, where she slowly open up, slowly take courage, slowly welcomes freedom, and finally the rest of the song where she is confident and happy about herself. In my opinion the movie soundtrack portrayed the song so much better than Demi Lovato. She may not have a better voice than Demi lovato, but the music arrangement, emotions and transitions in this version suits it more.

Then, I like the "Reindeers are Better Than People" musical number cuz very cute, as well as "In Summer", it gives a sense of musical like Sound of Music.

The first time of the song "For the First Time", the scene play is really nice, when the main character dances and imitates to all the paintings on the wall. Brilliant portray of a royal young girl dream to socialize like normal teen girls.

Lastly, the "Love is an Open Door" is a cute song, sounds like a Disney Cartoon version of Grease Summer Night, or like Shrek Accidentally in Love.

Though as a whole, I think that I preferred Tangled, but that was based on a familiar tale, this is more new. So I would say, well, Disney is back! I prefer these kindda Disney Musical films rather than Turbo Bolt kindda thing.......
