Frozen 2013

Like Tangled, it is difficult to criticise the film too much - it is an enjoyable story that never outstays its welcome, can be enjoyed by everyone and has great music and funny supporting characters. It is just a shame that when Disney has the opportunity to develop strong heroines - and here they have two!! - they gravitate towards a plot involving them finding true love. By far the most interesting plot development and character relationship is that between the two sisters and thankfully that is largely what the film chooses to focus on. They can't quite commit to it wholly however, with a romantic subplot for one heroine that thankfully doesn't dominate the far more interesting main story. There are moments when the film feels like it is going to try something daring or different, but this is Disney and it is difficult to begrudge them choosing a different path when the film is so well made and entertaining to watch.
