Visually stunning and emotionally arresting, Frozen is clearly the best animated film of

the year. It’s an incredible journey of a brave girl, who sets out to find her sister - the
reluctant ice-queen with the help of an adorable snowman and an unconventional ‘prince
charming’. The film introduces the new age Disney princesses, who no longer wait to be
rescued. They are brave, uninhibited yet vulnerable and sacrificing. The songs are
melodious and meaningful, while the 3D enhances the beauty of it all.

Elsa and Anna are the daughters of the king and Queen of Arendale. Elsa has magic
powers where she can produce ice and snow. One night Elsa accidentally hurts Anna with
her powers. The King and Queen are so worried by this they keep the sisters apa rt. When
Elsa is old enough she is to be crowned Queen and a big party is to be held. At this party
Anna meets Prince Hans and he asks her to marry him. Elsa isn’t happy about this and
when the sisters argue Elsa runs away, but as she does she causes an et ernal winter on
Arendale. This is where the conflict begins.

Elsa is a reserved woman; you see her try to be as level-headed and composed as
possible, but there's still that underlying fear in the back of her mind whenever she
attempts to rationalize her beliefs and choices. Being an introvert, I sympathized with
her. She's so afraid of hurting the people she loves, to the point where she doesn't trust
herself or anyone being near her, and lets her anxiety eat away at her instead of thinking
about how those same people she cares about feel.

On the other hand, Anna is quite likeable. She's adventurous, resourceful and quick on
her feet, in spite of her clumsiness and naivety. She's caring and considerate, yet also has
her sassy moments. You can understand why she'd be so quick to bond with and trust
people due to her inexperience and great need for socialization, but you're confident that
she'll learn her lesson and do the right thing.

The side characters were also a lot of fun. Olaf the snowman is one of my favorite
sidekicks; he always gets a good line and isn't annoying for once. Kristof and his reindeer
definitely made for great companions with an endless supply of witty banter, especially
where Anna is involved. The relationship between Anna and Kristof is handled
exceptionally well, considering Anna starts off with another love interest, and getting the
person to fall in love naturally with someone else within the same movie isn't the easiest
thing to do without it being contrived and rushed. It nicely shows the contrast between
falling for someone at first sight and falling for someone who spends time with you and
sees you in your purest form.

The songs were wonderfully sung (for the most part) and orchestrated, they were all
memorable, and "Let It Go" is grating after a while. I'm also crazy about many of the
character designs, particularly of the ones for the humans — Anna and Elsa just look
beautiful. I do think Elsa's ice dress is gorgeous, and I adore her hair in that large braid.
Also, Frozen redefines Disney’s ‘true love’ theory. Even if you are not into fairy-tales,
you’ll love this one for its unpredictable and thus keeps you engaged throughout. It's not
about seeking happiness with someone else, but being happy with who you truly are .

Elsa wants to be alone and so runs to the mountains. Here she builds herself and ice castle. Elsa’s
powers bring to life Olaf who is Anna’s snowman. Anna sets off in search of Elsa to bring her
home and end the winter. On her journey she meets, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven his reindeer. Anna
finds Elsa and asks her to come home, but Elsa fears hurting Anna again. Elsa becomes angry
and without meaning to strikes Anna in the heart with her powers. Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven
flee from the Castle and go in search of the trolls. They tell Kristoff that Elsa has frozen Anna’s
heart and that she will be frozen forever unless and “act of true love” heals her.
Kristoff thinks the only way to heal Anna is for Hans to kiss her so they go to find him. Hans is
looking for Anna and finds Elsa’s castle. He puts Elsa into prison and says she must stop the
winter but Elsa doesn’t know how. Anna finds Hans at the castle and asks him to kiss her to
break the curse but he says no because he didn’t really love her.

Anna’s heroic journey is, refreshingly, not about a boy or even about herself– she travels into the
mountains to convince Elsa to return, and teams up with rugged ice salesman Kristof to get there.
Kristof and Anna are going to fall for each other eventually, of course, and she’ll ditch that
princely fiancé Hans but the focus remains firmly on Anna and Elsa.

Review: A ‘snow queen’ of sorts, Princess Elsa has the power to create snow. Everything she
touches turns into ice. A deadly mishap convinces her that she is born with a curse. Ashamed and
heart-broken, she distances herself from the world and goes into a self-proclaimed exile. Clumsy
and vivacious, younger sister Anna is kept in the dark about Elsa’s secret, until their kingdom
bears the impact of it. Can Anna rescue their kingdom from Elsa’s uncontrollable icy powers?
Will the sun shine upon their snow-clad kingdom again?
