Review of Frozen

Frozen (I) (2013)
5/10
Hokey, Dated Disney Musical saved by Olaf the Snowman
11 July 2018
Heard so much about this movie so I decided to watch it thinking it would be marvelous. But it's really quite the opposite. I think it might only appeal to little girls but for no other reason than the two protagonists are two princesses, Anna and Elsa. That could make for a great premise. But.

So here's where the movie fails. First the humor is weak. We have to tolerate the Swedish accented storekeeper Anna runs into. Or Anna'a awkwardness and ramble substitutes as humor. Along with the lack of likable animal characters, this film has none except possibly Sven the reindeer and the one saving grace, Olaf the snowman.

Animation is very mediocre compared to what we see from Pixar (Disney!?) and Dreamworks. Add a weak script and way too many songs (about 5 in the first 20 minutes). If you don't have a good song, don't throw in 3 bad songs just for the sake of it.

Finally its plot is something from the 1940s or 1950s.

So it's 5 out of 10. 3 for Olaf.
