Disney's new animated fairytale Frozen has endearing characters, some good-natured comedy, a bunch of show-stopping musical numbers, and gorgeous visuals. It's a throwback to the studio's classic musical adventures from pre-Pixar times, and yet it feels modern because the writing is so fresh and the humor so irreverent.

There's plenty of jaw dropping large scale animation, which is not terrible in 3D but will most definitely be better in 2D. This has been a pretty very weak year for CG animation movies and Disney shows them all who the boss is. Watch it on the most gigantic screen that you can find.

'Frozen' represents a fine return to form for the Disney animated tales of yore, with enough heart and humour to go along with the lush animation.

Imagine the visuals of Tangled meeting the music of The Lion King. Disney returns to top form with Frozen an enchanting tale of magic, sisterhood and mystery set against the icy backdrop of a Nordic kingdom. There is a lovely pace to the story line and an old school vibe to the narrative that has been missing in animation films for a while.

There's a lovely line that Olaf, the snowman, says in the film - Some people are worth melting for. Likewise, even if you are not too fond of snow, some love stories are worth freezing for! Do not miss out on this magical journey of love and self-discovery.

Wear your mittens, pull up your boots, take some hot chocolate and set out on an icy journey of fun with Frozen from the very first flake in the winter wonderland.
Film review ·
Inspired by the 19th century fable, "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen, this animated musical may be excessively sweet but it doesn't induce the fatigue factor at all.
Film review ·
Like a true classic fairytale, "Frozen" has elements of sunshine, fun, romance and tragedy. Being a musical, every element is connected with a number of songs, each better than the other. "Do you want to build a snowman," is infectious. And your heart does go out to Princess Anna when she sings, "For the first time, in forever" or "Love is an open door".
Film review ·
Walt Disney Animation Studio's latest princess movie is like a multi-million dollar musical snow globe come to life. It's set in the gloriously detailed, picture-perfect fjord town of Arendelle, with two wide-eyed, porcelain-skinned princess sisters and a catchy singsong soundtrack by award-winning Broadway composers. When shaken up in 3-D, it conjures marvellous aurora borealis skies and exhilarating blizzards. If it isn't snowing where you are already, there's really only way to watch this film—with the air conditioner on full blast.

Superb movie, Very well taken, Liked the story line n showed the true love can b in any form....and all the characters were very nice...loved the snowman n the raindeer too.....
Frozen is an excellent movie based on sibling relationship which can make you nostalgic. The characters are well crafted. Story sends a good message to audience.. We need many such movies...
Snow was never so visually appealing until I saw Frozen; The Disney's modern masterpiece from the world of musical animation fairy tales. Fearless optimist Anna teams up with Kristoff in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf in a race to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter. Like the stunning visuals, characters are also sketched with love, dialogs are funny, music is mesmerizing and lyrics are worth recalling. The scene where Elsa designs a palace for herself is spellbinding. This is one of such movies for which you would like to step into the theater so that you can capture those gorgeous visuals in your eyes for eternity. Storyline is magical so is the narration. As the snowman Olaf says "some persons are worth melting for" I can say "some movies are worth enjoying ever". Frozen is one such movie. Don't miss it!
Watch 'Frozen', because it might be Disney's most enjoyable, animated and freshly original and homegrown fairytale this decade. Emma and Elsa, Olaf and the boys shall stay with you long after you've left the halls. Best enjoyed with a mug of hot chocolate and a santa cap on head. The wintry shades might be devisive and distractive, but largely the storytelling is absorbing and the message shall consume you as an audience. The film has a story well written and well told. There are oodles of laughter in the way in which the narrative strands function, and you'll tear up many a times.
