Frozen 2013

This movie is terrible. All of the music borrows pacing from more popular musicals, but waters them down, repeats lyrics way too much, loses the puns, word play and big words for more easily accessible language and blatantly copies from Wicked!

The characters have disturbingly over exaggerated features. Because it is a Disney movie they had to add animal friends and anthropomorphic crap that only George Lucas would think are appropriate.

The point of tension was contrived and thin, but the villagers had to overreact just so we could feel like it's more of a deal than it really is.

The romances were entirely unnecessary, but it's a Disney movie... they did make Simba fall in love with Nala in one night. Superficial romance pulled out of thin air is their specialty.

There is no substance to this movie. There is no substance to the music or the lyrics. In Wicked! Elphaba singing gravity is an intensely emotional moment because we have seen the prison she lives in and feel her pain then rejoice when she finds her voice. In Frozen the characters are so flat, their motivations so shallow, their actions befuddling and the songs generically uplifting instead of being strongly tied to the character development.

I am genuinely confused why this movie has received positive reviews. It is generic garbage.
