The general consensus among them is "It's not necessary, it's inferior to the first, so it's bad." If you ask me, I DISAGREE STRONGLY. Is it necessary and better than the original? No, but that does not mean it's bad. Frozen 2 is by and large a good movie, easily the best Disney has brought out this year. (But given the competition from their awful, lifeless, forgettable, truly unnecessary remakes, that's not so hard to achieve.) I'll avoid spoilers because far too many instagram pages have been leaking this movie all over the place, but here's what I'll say. Frozen 2 is an evolution from the first, kind of like how Toy Story 3 is an evolution from the first two. It's darker, more heartfelt, full of some tense moments, but there's also plenty of great comedy to balance things out. Questions from the first one are answered, but there's also some new ones brought up. It's not as simple and easy to follow as the first, but it compensates by still being very good. In terms of comparing this to other stuff from this year I've seen, it's not better than How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, but I honestly prefer this to Toy Story 4. And of course, I'll take this over any of those cheap remakes any day. At the end of the day, this return trip to arendelle is a worthwhile one. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Greetings! I am a huge Frozen fan ever since the first Frozen movie came out back in the year 2013. Sadly, Frozen Ⅱ wasn't as good as Frozen for several reasons. Don't misunderstand me, but Frozen II disappointed me quite alot. Here are the reasons and I hope you guys understand my words and thoughts and of course my feelings about it.

Design: the design of the characters was insanely amazing. I love how epic their clothes are. 9/10

Animation: the animation was stunning, amazing movements. Some parts seem so realistic, I thought the forest was real. 10/10

Music/Songs: the song's weren't as catchy as the songs from the original yet they were pretty emotional. Queen Iduna's lullaby made me cry and Into the unkown gave me goosebumps. Kristoff's song (lost in the woods) was okay. 7/10

Plot: the story seemed so interesting in the trailers, but ended up being okay. The idea of finding out why Elsa has powers and the others not, wasn't a very bad idea. You could go deeper into more detail tho... 5/10

The ending (the part of the movie I hate the most which caused me to rate this movie with a 2): Now listen closely because you Disney people appear to like the idea of separating the main characters. NO! Don't do that, never do that. You can't just separate two characters from each other after showing us how much they love each other especially when the characters are siblings (everyone dislikes such endings). Frozen is about sisterly love, trusting, promising and having a wonderful time together. There were so many different ways to end this movie. For example; •the spirits could take away Elsa's powers and make her feel relief for the first time in her life. She wouldn't live in fear of hurting someone and could still live in Arendelle TOGETHER with her beloved sister Anna and the others.

•Arendelle gets destroyed by the water and gets rebuilted in the enchanted forest, making it easier for Elsa to take care of both of the Kingdoms which could end up being one big kingdom. •everything stays the same as it is now but Elsa lives in Arendelle TOGETHER with Anna and the others and visits the enchanted forest whenever the spirits call her for help.

Just don't separate the main characters, don't do it. Such things break our hearts and it makes us hate Disney (especially if you grew up seeing the cuddling, hugging, playing and having a wonderful time together such in Frozen Fever. My heart melted because of happiness. Seeing the sisters together is very touching.) There are so many possibilities and ideas to end a franchise without separating the characters. (Also the Frozen universe never needed a bridge between the magical world and the human world. The Nothurlda seem to have good control of the elements without Elsa doing anything at all as we showing one of the flashbacks). 1/10

Characters;

Elsa: this time Elsa was more interesting and a bit open minded. What pissed me off is her breaking her promises. I mean she literally broke every promise she made except the one "I am going to safe the forest". She promised to not push Anna away, but she pushed her away. Also, Elsa appears very stubborn in this movie.

Anna: She was funny (not as funny as in the original Frozen). However, her personality was so different in this movie. She didn't even care if Elsa is leaving the kingdom. She didn't develop any good connections with other characters except of Olaf. Not to mention she almost destroyed her own home without thinking twice. I didn't feel her in this movie.

Kristoff/Sven: I think the developers forgot Kristoff's and Sven's existence.

Olaf: I really enjoyed his presence this time. He was funny, smart, loud and very sympathetic in alot of scenes.

The others: Mattias was cool but sadly we didn't see much of him. The Nothurlda were okay and Yelena was cool. I wish we could see more of them. 4/10

It's not even mature just woke and politically driven. With strong negative/hate message against single, introverted people and white men, disgusting. Because nothing made sense in this film, there are no answers or moments that have anything to do with the original, everyone got an annoyingly different characters, the 'background' story of Adgarr and Iduna is worthless, not well thought out, does not make sense and cannot be explained from Frozen (Frozen 2 ensures that their behavior towards their children has become conscious emotional abuse and lying, and in the same film Disney also tries to get rid of this by showing them cozy moments!). That forest just comes out of nowhere, just like the 'voice'. And the end well they just made up a 'bridge' and so-called 'connection' to give Arendelle a King and Queen in a very sneaky way, without the woke people complaining about Queen Elsa, very pathetic from Disney. And the real villians get the trolls gor their way. For the rest Anna is very annoying and immature in this film, Kristoff is superfluous, Olaf is present and Hans is missed in the film (that part where Elsa's hatred is stupidly invented) Frozen 2 is heavily superfluous there is no story in it, characters look like hobos, everyone is downgraded, there's no magic in it, with the motto go woke, go broke. Just a milked-out mess that should never have been made! For quick cash! Expand

The story really makes no sense at all, it must have been made by writers who have never seen the first part. Nothing has been done with character growth, just adding an environment that has nothing to do with Frozen and people who don't fit into Frozen. And magic, where Frozen was about a girl with ice powers, there are suddenly more powers in this film in the form of animals (spirits) which really makes no sense. This whole movie was written by drunken lunatics with a lot of frustration because you can see that a lot in the movie! Zero points is still way to much for this! Expand

I enjoyed the animation and some of the gags were genuinely funny. I also appreciated the effort to add more lore to the world of "Frozen" to be acted on in future installments. However, the movie falters on things that made the original so popular - the characters are confusing, the songs are underwhelming, and the story itself is muddled and unfocused. Any one of these on their own would have been bad enough but altogether I can't ignore the misses. Elsa and Anna's relationship is the focus again and everything else feels underdeveloped and rife with plot holes. I still enjoy the movie but I will admit it makes me antsy for the inevitable Frozen III, where hopefully Disney enacts some better quality control.

Positives:
+ upgraded visuals and animation
+ Elsa and Anna's relationship is complex
+ exploring Elsa's powers is fun and intriguing
+ a couple interesting songs
+ Olaf is genuinely funny

Negatives:
- plot is muddled and uneven
- less memorable songs
- Kristoff's characterization/arc/song are all bafflingly dumb
- Anna's character is less focused, seemingly contrary to the first movie
- the story teeters dangerously close to some cringeworthy "noble savage" and "white savior" tropes

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed the first film, but I found the sequel to be a big disappointment. The whole story about the elements doesn't make a lot of sense and feels very contrived. It's like they were making it up as they went along. The whole "water has a memory" is just an excuse for them to portray memories as snow sculptures, as it's easier to show that way. The kingdom of Arendelle seems to be a little port with 300 people living in it. There's no villain to speak of. With Elsa we have another story about her self-indulgently running off to find herself, and yet again Anna is the one running behind trying to fix everything. Kristoff basically has a cameo role, and I didn't like the way his main arc ended with him marrying Anna, when Anna was clearly indifferent to him. I also feel it undermines the first film's message about true love not having to always be about romantic love. Olaf is Olaf. Graphics are great and there are some some good songs here, but overall for me this reminds me of The Lion King and Aladdin - two great Disney films that had poor sequels that were best forgotten.

I just watched this show and can't remember a tune, much less hum one. Nobody ever seemed in jeopardy and was there even an antagonist?

Frozen 1 was a 9 or 10, even not caring anything about it in advance. This... pretty lame.

The stakes aren't very high in this sequel to the Disney classic, the songs not that memorable, and the plot is weak at best. All in all, though well animated and acted, it feels more like a cash grab.

6 years ago Disney released an animated film that made people go completely crazy.
Its success was somewhat unexpected because it was an original film with new characters in the Disney princesses repertoire but it worked great. Also the emblematic song was a massive hit even though I **** hated it.
I really didn't see anything remarkable in the film but with 1.29 Billion dollars raised at the box office Disney obviously knew they had gold in their hands and the sequel was inevitable. 6 years later it has finally arrived and it's clear this sequel was born for monetary reasons instead of narrative reasons.

Anyways that's not a bad thing, I've always said this is a business and it's perfectly understood and therefore Frozen II plays it safe. It doesn't necessarily deliver the same but obviously there would be no changes in the formula.
Maybe something that can bother a certain part of an audience unable to see something with another mentality has to do with the very own mentality of the film focused on current affairs.
The message of feminism and feminine empowerment is clear but at this point if people continue to believe they will see something else or that a film directed at a kid's audience doesn't need to deal with such themes, they're just deceiving themselves.

The songs just like in the original movie are the spine of the narrative but once again for me they didn't seem really interesting, although ''Into the Unknown'' is definitely the best in the repertoire and I personally liked it more than Let it Go.
But this is how Frozen works. The story this time is a bit messier but like in any musical the songs are how the characters express themselves better and this is how the film is made to work in a more suitable way.

I confess that Frozen wasn't the kind of film I like from Disney Animation but I know and I can recognize when there's quality and Frozen II despite its defects is a well made film.
Frankly I cannot say if it was able to recapture the tone of the first film because even though the original has certain superior elements, this one seemed more enjoyable to me.
I don't know, maybe I saw it with a different mindset, especially because of my lack of expectations but I repeat I liked it and there's quality to spare, nothing great but hey; it's more than fine and if you enjoyed the first one, then you will enjoy this one as well.

The story, unfortunately, is a huge disappointment. A paper-thin plot driven by conveniences and vague references to magic coupled with a shoehorned B-plot make for a confusing, shallow, and badly paced movie. The musical numbers add nothing to the story and lack the charm and memorability of the original. It's a pity that in 7 years this is all they could do.

That alone, however, isn't enough to save the film for me, bringing the score to a 6/10. It's slightly above average, with incredible visuals and a sub-par plot. Expand

It's almost as if they cut a small chunk out of the film. It doesn't ruin the movie but it does leave you not being fully satisfied. The songs are as great as ever and will be stuck in your head for months. Even with the third act being a bit off, Frozen 2 delivers a great sequel that will leave fans pleased. Expand

There are twice the number of songs comparedThe original isn't a great movie. It's a solid movie but not great. However, two things that are outstanding in the original, are the songs and score...Two things that, sadly, aren't as good here. There are twice the number of songs compared to the first one, but besides two really good songs, the rest of them, while not bad, feel uninspired, don't sound as epic and even feel forced. It seemed at times that characters started singing just because it's a Disney musical movie and not because it is essential to the plot like the original. There are some musical numbers that even feel pointless or like a lazy way to explain to the audience how the characters are feeling in the exact moment. The plot feels a bit better than the original in the sense that it doesn't have the same dumb twists or plot conveniences. However, that doesn't mean that the movie told a great story. I feel like the main conflict feels forced. In some way the movie reminded me of Finding Dory because of the way that the main conflict is established. It doesn't feel like a "logical next step" in the franchise. The story doesn't feel like the natural progression of what was established in the first movie. It doesn't leave a notorious impact in the franchise. If anything, this movie makes itself feel pointless. The new characters are forgettable and don't really play any significant role and the characters we know and love from the previous don't grow or have any arc! Elsa is still the same character in the end. She does learn some things about her past but it doesn't seem to affect her for some reason. Anna feels like the same character as how she was in the end of the first (I feel like her arc was completed already and the writers had no idea where to take her now) and other characters like Kristoff are just there and feel pointless. Olaf is much more annoying here than in the previous one. Sometimes he affects the tone of the movie and you could remove him from the plot and nothing will change and there's that salamander creature who's in the movie for absolutely no other reason than to sell toys...Because he's so cute, "awwww". The only thing that I feel it is superior to the original is the animation and the visual effects, but that's expected seeing how 3D animation evolves quickly. Overall, I don't think there isn't anything particularly bad nor anything outstanding. It is inferior to the original in almost every aspect and not even the songs are as good. What was the point of having twice the number of musical numbers if only two are actually memorable? Anyway, if you didn't like the original, this isn't any better, don't watch it. If you're a fan of the original, then...Go ahead. I think you'll enjoy it...

I definetly don't want this movie to be nominated for an Oscar but knowing how the Academy always nominates a Disney or Pixar Movie, then yeah, it will get a nomination, but this is far from being among the best animated films of the year.

Its ultimate goal used to be telling a compelling story. Now its goal seems to be mostly about transmitting political messages, while the other elements of the production are given to an intern to take care of. The original Frozen had a tightly constructed plot, nice pacing, solid character development, and several memorable songs. Frozen 2's plot is a vague bunch of junk that makes little to no sense on any level, though it does manage to convey a politically correct message dumping on western civilization. Its pacing is so sluggish in the first half that I saw two families leave at the halfway point. After the movie ended, as I left the cinema I could not remember a single melody from the movie (other than ones that were recycled from the first movie), and no new characters were introduced that were remotely interesting. The movie was a mess that appears to have been written by committee. It was sometimes boring and sometimes painful. The worst part, though, was seeing the disappointment in my daughter's eyes as she watched. When after the movie she asked me why this or that happened in the story, I tried to invent answers but ultimately just told her, "because the movie was not very well written." I just didn't know what else to say but the truth. Expand

In contrast to the more traditional fairy tale look of the last film, this one is far grander looking. The appearance of the kingdom of Arendelle in this makes the original look so-so.

Frozen II feels so different from any other Disney animated film. There are plenty of those that do fantasy, but this is the first one (except maybe for The Black Cauldron) to go for EPIC fantasy. I really loved the various legitimately challenging magical forces the characters have to deal with.

The story looks into how Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) has her powers and I really liked the setup and the messages they were trying to tell. This is actually one of the more serious Disney animated films. (By their standards. Don't worry there's still plenty for your kids to love.) There are a couple surprisingly dark, dramatic moments. (Again, by Disney standards.)

Based on the trailers, I was afraid that comic relief Olaf the snowman (voiced by Josh Gad) wouldn't fit into the change of tone on account of being too light, but the writers adapted the character really well. They have him growing up and being far more philosophical about the world (while still being pure). His musings often steal the show. I actually thought he was funnier in this than the last film.

I did think this movie had some pacing issues. The plot just isn't as tight as the first one. There are moments where the writer didn't know how to best utilize the main characters. I do wish they spent more time interacting with a couple of the film's likable but underused new supporting characters.

Songs are decent but aren't on the same tier as the last film. Half are just okay. The song Into the Unknown tries too hard to be the new Let it Go. Still, I give the songwriters credit for going with a new style not found in previous Disney films. I liked Show Yourself, Lost in the Woods, and All is Found. The last one is a particularly lovely piece.

This isn't quite as good as the original, which knew more what it wanted to be and had a stronger emotional backbone. Still, this has a lot going for it and I think your kids will like it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ultimately, fantastic animation, above average music (nowhere close to the first), mediocre world building, and a sub-par story.

Much like a good portion of this movie, my feelings about it are bitter-sweet. Going into its predecessor with low expectations and getting a fantastic movie I was hoping that the sequel to such a shift for me could break through that sequel-curse barrier. I think it made cracks but got stock with not enough.

The music wasn't nearly as good. It has a chilling vocal as the driving story mechanism, but gets so overused. None of the numbers are catchy and there is simply too much Christoph songs.

The world building around the magic starts off interesting with elemental influence then Elsa is shown to be their connection/source/living god at this point. It felt forced and like the writers had no idea where they were going. Some cross between Irish/Native folklore, shamanism, and totemism. The ultimate source of Elsa's power is a gift because Elsa approved of Elsa's father's actions...wat. They could have dropped the whole source/5th element and the whole thing would have been much more cohesive.

The story and the twist is the same-old people who follow nature do no wrong and are betrayed. Way overdone and with nothing to indicate it should happen from what we see anywhere else in the movie. Very little expansion of Arundel except as token references or basic plot devices. Surprisingly Olaf was much more palatable and actually useful for expressing complex ideas (though in a joking fashion).

The characters we can't help but grow to love are all there, but unfortunately I feel that the script is confused at times and conflicts in the script are what we are supposed to take as conflicts within/between the characters and I personally don't find that this was the intended effect. The plot is somewhat vague, if not inaccessible at times and this leaves me sour on the character's exact motivations. The songs are again, what you would expect in the best way, but I personally feel that the film lacks it's Let It Go moment that made the first film the success it is. My favorite song in the film was actually Kristof's number, a well earned one after his very short song in the first film. I think families and children will enjoy this, but I think you may end up with far more children pestering adults on what was actually happening in the film than is intended. Expand

And thought maybe this will be a good one.. I mean it has a lot to live upOk, So we went to watch Frozen 2 last night.. Just my son, who is 12 and me.. The reason we did it was we saw the previews last week while watching another movie.. And thought maybe this will be a good one.. I mean it has a lot to live up to.. And in a way it really got me thinking about the market and what little girls really have offered to them at Christmas times and birthdays and such.. Not a whole lot.. Little boys have a whole world of variety.. So with that said, movies like Frozen two, like 1 has to hit their mark.. I mean really.. The reason for it coming out this time of year is for merchandising at Christmas as well that goes with the movie.. Especially for little girls I believe.. This will be the theme's of so many little girls Birthday parties and dresses and such..

Now.. With that thought out of my mind.. I have GOT to say what I thought.. This movie was DARK! I mean like DC Comics made this story kind of dark.. Even Deadpool was in a better upbeat light than this movie.. There were TWO scenes TWO! That the little girl behind us was crying.. We could hear it!! And one little kid sitting in the row in front of us had to sit with his mom because of what was taking place.. THIS is not the right message for these little kids and mostly girls.. If the snow wasn't around, with the two stars being dressed all bright and colorful like Frozen SHOULD be... You would think it was taking place at Gotham city where the sun NEVER seems to come out.. That was the feel that was being put on the story.. It was so loosely put together and drab.. It never felt like a big time movie ever the entire time watching. The dramatic climatic scene itself, really didn't make any sense.. And TWO of the big stars died in the movie.. Well for a while.. Hence the crying kids part.. Not going to give any spoilers here.. But wow.. This was NOT the movie I am sure that all the little girls was looking for and hoping for.. And honestly NEEDING... The first one was so much better, along with EVERY girl movie that has come out as well before it.. Just pick any, that would qualify... To me it felt like a world of darkness for our characters and in turn just a marketing scam to some degree as well at the right timing.. I have NOT seen a single review of this movie.. But someone has had to mention the way this movie went and agree with me on my analysis..

Well I had to say something.. : 0) And there it is.. "Malecicent" with Angelina Jolie from last week was way more put together, thought out and enjoyable than this one.. If that tells you anything.. I know we are, well male species and all, but even I could sense this movie went down a wrong path with this one.. Just way too few laughs and all of it was riding on Olaf the snowman to save.. Not at all a good movie...

The animation? Beyond amazing, the best looking animated movie from this year by far. (Sorry How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, it had to be said.) The story and messages? Much darker than the first, and possibly one of the studios darkest in general. I consider it on par with Toy Story 3 in that regard. I could talk about everything else, but I can't get in too deep without talking spoilers and I don't wanna spoil it for anyone. As someone who cannot stand those actually-awful live action remakes from this year, Frozen II was a solid reminder that Disney can still make great stuff. Expand

This could beFirst of all, from my last review everybody knows I’m not the biggest fan of the music from the first movie, mainly due to being overplayed and just annoying in my opinion, but this movie’s music I can admit I really enjoyed it. This could be because I don’t expect people to be singing “Into the Unknown” as much as “Let it Go” but no I actually really enjoyed the music and I think it’s because not just one song had a message but a couple of them did. Although, I will admit there are 2 songs that could have been cut out because they kind of just brought the film to a halt. The score, once again done by Christophe Beck, was even a tiny bit better in this movie. The animation in this film, in my opinion, surpasses that of the first. There were so many shots in this film that were just gorgeous to look at and I wanted to see more of them. As much as I’m praising there are somethings that still bugged me about this movie like inconsistences in the film that bugged me, one thing is even in the trailer. This movie definitely took what was good about the first movie and tried to make that same magic again and sometimes it worked like with the songs but in other, it didn’t such as, with the plot twists. There are two “plot twists” if you can call them that because most people over the age of twelve can figure them out, in this movie and I get why we had them but at the same time they weren’t as good as with Hans from the first. Once again, the voice cast in this is incredible from everybody and I love how they actually gave them character growth. In the end, Frozen 2 is a great family movie and a good follow up to the first. If you enjoyed the first one, you’ll probably like this one. Expand

No matter how good it would end up being. With "Frozen II," however, this notion doesn't even really come into play, for things don't particularly measure up to the standards of Disney animated films in general, let alone the standards of a sequel to one of their biggest and most rabidly worshipped successes. Nothing really happens. No one really learns anything they didn't already know in the first film. No one really changes, for better or worse. There aren't even any material consequences for the characters to deal with at the end of the film -- just logistical ones. The songs struggle mightily to find anything interesting to do within the key that they're written in, ultimately leaving next to none of the actual pieces of music at the level of memorability that some of the predecessor's songs sat at ("Do You Want To Build A Snowman," "Let It Go," etc.) It's not a botch job by any stretch, but it is a definite departure in quality from the 2013 hit (which I wasn't even crazy about to begin with).

The screenplay is overly complex for adults, let alone small children, and the dialogue and characterisation is often quite patronising. The animation is still great, but the songs fail to hit the heights. A couple of them aren't too bad in themselves but as presented here add nothing to enhance proceedings. The opening ballad is blandly nice, but 'lost in the Woods' is embarrassingly showcased like a pop video of the 80's. As for 'Into the Unknown' it follows all the familiar cadences of 'Let it go' but a classic it definitely isn't! Perhaps we can now say goodbye to Elsa and co and let this franchise go. With box office receipts as they are, I somehow doubt it. Expand

I saw this movie in theaters this weekend and this movie lacks a lot of what made the first film as much of a powerhouse. Starting with the good... Though it’s not a bad movie for plot overall (though definitely flawed), as it continues the story shortly after the first film ended and while it dived deeper into the history of our beloved characters. This movie feels like a piece of art as it’s all about transformation when things are always changing and that is symbolic with the “lost woods” feel. Olaf provides great humor and Elsa/Anna/Kristoff provides character heart. I chuckled when the movie made fun of its itself with acknowledging Elsa’s “Let it Go” was too over played.

Now the bad... There’s only like 2 songs that are even decent and sadly even those two don’t hold up to any of the many hits from the first one. The music is a big loss with this sequel as it pretty much made the first movie like it did for Moana. Especially Kristoff’s painful 80s like montage song. Really! It was painful to watch. The story plot though being praised for suffers with how much we are just supposed to accept from water holding memory of the past and though being warned many times to not treading too far “or you’ll be drowned” our characters still don’t learn. Sadly, I was just ready for the movie to end so I could leave.

For instance,'Let it Go' was the breakout hit for Elsa in the original, let's have her belt TWO anthems...sadly never reaching that 'lightning in the bottle' quality of the original. Nevertheless, only Disney can do his type of thing, and it will be on children's streaming playlist ad nauseaum, to the detriment of parents everywhere. Expand

In terms of musical genre, Frozen 2 is balanced, if not perpetually gifting its audience what they expect.

Frozen 2

Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, the co-writers and directors, may not be able to convince everyone to hum along this time. Especially not the audience as large as they gathered previously. But it is not their fault. They went for a more mature and lighter yet equally moving version of the stereotypical Disney formula. Now, I have been experiencing these Disney films since the very beginning just like most of us. And it has worked every time if done properly. And I have always wondered how that "teamwork" aspect draws you in. Melts you down. And makes you laugh, happy with tears in your eyes. But now that I think about it and am out of the screen watching this mesmerizing second chapter of the Frozen, I feel that the "optimism" also partakes majorly on bombarding you with satisfaction that rains on your command. I say "your" for the emotion, at the end of the day, remains subjective. The makers offers you plenty of equation and relationship and range and situation to cave yourself in. That unfathomable, unfiltered optimism along with the prophecy that states, "It is not what it seems" are the hidden gems in the script that is pulsating way too strongly for any of the evil spirit to tone it down. There are moments, there is this core theme of the soundtrack that advances the storyline beautifully. And fortunately, the songs revolving around it and the climax justifying it, is the call, the tease of the Holiday season we all want. What I love about this franchise, is that it is never only about the lead character. I know we've had proper supporting characters before too, but none of them contributes so profoundly as they do here.

Un grand film avec des musiques impressionnante et des paroles pleines de sentiments. J'attends une Frozen III personnellement !
Espérant que le box office porte Disney dans cette optique :)

A perfect follow up! Absolutely perfect. From the plot to the music (even better than the first). We loved every little detail. Definitely stay for the end credit scene. Cute and worth it.

If Frozen 2 is judged by anyone who didn’t see Frozen one they will wonder why it was so popular. This Frozen didn’t hold my attention at all, the plot was weird and pointless with no moral or purpose. The native american theme is in appropriate for what is supposed to be a Norwegian based film. Trying to make it less “white” maybe? The desire for political correctness and evwryone following a schizophrenic Elsa who is now hearing voices makes you want to call the psychiatrist on this one. If I didn’t have the dinner and movie combo I would have considered bolting on this movie. More than half of what I see on Netflix is more entertaining. Is this the actual writer for Frozen one? Or was Frozen plagiarized in the first place? Such mediocrity with this one makes you wonder, but maybe I should just let it go. Expand

Overall, it's just OK. Great visuals however. The story and pacing is very clunky. When the story started to plod along the kids in my theater were disengaged and looked for other entertainment; that should tell you something.

IN this one, somehow all characters lack of some identity. There was much more "I love you", "I won't let you go alone", "I will be with you" and other phrases, which means nothing if they are repeated hundred times, without reason. For example you are not just following your other half whole day and repeating how much you love him/her and making a story out of this. Somehow I didn't feel any development in any character. Olaf was the best one, because at least he was fun. I hope that if they make Frozen 3, they will put much more though in improving their main heroes, by putting some reasoning behind all their actions. As well, there wasn't any really good song, which you will remember out of this movie. that was really weak unfortunately. Nothing to compare with "Let it go" for example. And actually there was a bit more songs than needed. Expand

Personally, I found it much better than the first one, which I still enjoyed quite a lot. I think most of the criticism of the movie come from the fact that people liked the first one so much that they feel the need to criticize this one just for the fun of it. The songs are as good (while there's no "Let it go", the songs are all consistently great), the two titular characters are well developed and have interesting growths, and the animation is awesome.

Yes it's music may not be as earwormy as the first soundtrack but it's music is used so cleverly and impactfully. Olaf is as funny as ever with not one joke failing and even has a somewhat catchy song. The movie started off warmly but you could feel the metaphorical storm brewing which was a nice touch. Kristoff is as worthless as ever though, only being likeable in his solo "Lost In The Woods" which I even thought was a little too corny. Anna is the most important as ever though, she impacts the story in very unique and big ways. She had to make tough decisions even if it was risky or seemed wrong. She truly feels like a peer to Elsa now and not the powerless sister. Yes there are some shortcomings for sure, I think we just didn't see enough character development with the new human characters. Brunei though, he may be the best new addition to a sequel like ever, not gonna lie. He's cute, powerful, and funny. Overall this movie is a whole lot of fun, it isn't perfect but it's the most eye catching animated movie I've ever seen and has a meaningful depth filled plot. Expand

My reaction to #Frozen2:


While #ToyStory4 is the better of Disney’s 2 animated movies of this year, Frozen 2, while not better than the first, is still great enough thanks to an interesting and almost dark story, a still charming returning and new voice cast, mostly catchy and memorable new songs (“Into The Unknown” specifically), and impressive visuals of animation that will leave viewers dazzled. My final score: 95/100, which rounds nearest to 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My favourite thing about theIt is an absolutely beautiful sequel, very different take from the first, I dare to say a more mature view on the world of Arendelle. The Animations is stunning, I have never seen so beautiful water in my life. My favourite thing about the movie is its humour, it's great and ageless, no matter how old you are, you will have genuine, wholehearted laughs throughout the film. The music is most enchanting, Idina is still the perfect cast for Elsa and Kristien Bell is just a delight to listen to. I had a rush of joy that this time they gave Johnathan Groff, and he could once again take the piss at romantic pop music (everyone familiar with Hamilton will know he is great at that). My main complaint is that the music was obviously with intent written around the musical motif of a siren's call, and this made the songs blend with each other too much, the differences didn't pop as much, but they are still ... so good. The Anna-Elsa-Kristoff three wayed journey is a very well written story about them having to learn from each other in order to overcome the challenges so that their family can endure. There is an obvious colonial undertone, but I believe it's perfectly reasonable to just focus on the message of responsibility while following the Queen of Arendelle on her 2- movie journey to learn to rely on others and not to take the weight of the world on her shoulders. The three story arcs remind me of Elphaba, Glinda and Fiyero. Olaf is a homage to the first movie, while he also symbolises the maturing tones. So to give my final verdict: Is it as good as the first one about fear, duty, love and shame? No. Did it still have me spellbound? Absolutley yes. Now go see it. Expand

With how successful the first movie was, of course they would have to make a second one, but the first film had some qualities that makes a follow-up very difficult. The fact that Frozen is known for its music virtually forced them to make more music, but no other children's musical ever had a successful follow-up, did it? Usually the good follow-ups are movies that focused primarily on plot and world building like Toy Story. Frozen was never good because of its plot, really, it was always more of a spectacle of song and emotion. It also wasn't made to have a sequel, as nobody thought it would do this well.

In any case, what we got with Frozen 2 was more song, spectacle, and emotion. When people dissect movies, they often fall into the pitfall of judging a movie as if it were a novel. Of course most movies fail by this standard. If you look at the whole package of visuals, performances, emotions, and excitement, Frozen 2 has all of those things, and does them all as well as anything else.

Since I'm reviewing this well after its release, I can comment on some things I've seen in other reviews. In particular: I've seen people talking about themes with indigenous people. I disagree that these themes exist to the point that the movie's creators could tell me about it, and I'd still say they were wrong. The people from Arendelle are medieval, without much technology. The people decribed as being indigenous have powerful magic, and Arendelle is shown to be AFRAID of their power. This is power that obviously is very fearsome, which is the entire basis for this franchise. The magic in these movies can being a whole country to its knees. The magic from ONE woman can do that, in fact. That's the basis of the entire plot of Frozen. Therefore, Frozen II is more about the fact that killing people is wrong even if you have a legitimate reason to fear them. Not about being nice to natives or whatever.

Anyway, I'm taking off a couple points for the fact that the movie is a little bit confusing for kids to follow and that the plot could probably be a bit better. I considered giving it a 7, but I gave it back a point because I feel that the franchise is now in a much better position to continue with creating better stories, giving the sisters a more well definted identity and path in life going forward.

I mostly just got sick of hearing it all the time (if I had a dollar for every time I heard 'Let it Go' and 'Do You Wanna Build a Snowman' sung or played everywhere!) But even so, it felt rife with predictability and cliches/tropes that we've seen time and again in past Disney princess movies. And while this film seemed to ditch some of those thankfully, I still couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed with what I saw, although... I will actually say that I ended up liking this one slightly better than the first, of not by much. The animation looks spectacular as expected. Storywise, it felt a bit uninspired to me, as we follow Anna and Elsa discovering a hidden part of their land with family history tied to them, and I can't help but feel like I've seen this in other animated sequels before (the 'How to Train Your Dragon' sequels come to mind for me.) But overall, despite some of these shortcomings, it does have great visuals and even some pretty epic music, along with a slightly more inspired story than in the first one. And it was overall just pretty fun and cute to watch. Expand

And why the heck the heck didn't the trolls say something because they knew the truth from the beginning. Expand

Sequels can be tricky to make, they can also be tricky to make when the predecessor is so massively successful, you feel the pressure of not pleasing your audience in the end. That is the kind of pressure I imagine that co-writers andSequels can be tricky to make, they can also be tricky to make when the predecessor is so massively successful, you feel the pressure of not pleasing your audience in the end. That is the kind of pressure I imagine that co-writers and co-directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee must have felt when they were making 'Frozen II', the Disney animated sequel to the highly successful and generally loved 'Frozen' (2013). We see our main characters return, Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) is settling in just fine since becoming the Queen of the Arendelle kingdom, her sister Anna (Kristen Bell) also seems happy with the way life is going alongside Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and Olaf (Josh Gad). However, things start to get strange when Elsa hears a mysterious voice calling to her that nobody else hears. Anna is concerned for her older sister, and tries to make sense of what's going on as Elsa fears that the kingdom could be in danger. When Anna and Elsa were kids, they heard a story from their parents about a mysterious and enchanted land full of magic that saw a great war brewing among its people. Elsa thinks that this voice calling to her could lead to answers regarding her parents and her powers. The film might do a good job at entertaining long-time fans who have become obsessed with the original film, as they'll see their favorite characters go on a more exciting journey to uncover some secrets. The pacing of the film - especially towards the middle - can feel a little slow at times, and the songs (once again written by Oscar winners Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez) aren't as catchy as the ones from the previous film (but still fun nonetheless). The film, for the most part, feels passable until the ending, whether or not this is where you see the characters go, your response to it will say a lot about that. Overall, this is worth checking out if you are a 'Frozen' fanatic. Expand

This was a film that could have played it safe and still been wildly successful, but there are interesting themes and admirable craft at work here.

In the end, Frozen II amounts to a gorgeously animated, strongly performed, and surprisingly mature sequel. Whether you enjoyed the first Frozen or not, this is another Arendelle adventure worth taking.

Before I get to my thoughts on this sequel, let me briefly go over my thoughts on the first movie. My journey with Frozen is similar to many others. I saw it and enjoyed it in the theatre, I then hated it after all the hype and overexposureBefore I get to my thoughts on this sequel, let me briefly go over my thoughts on the first movie. My journey with Frozen is similar to many others. I saw it and enjoyed it in the theatre, I then hated it after all the hype and overexposure but I eventually came around to it again when I rewatched it last year. Do I think it has issues? For sure! Do I think it’s overrated? Yeah, kinda! Do I not like it? Of course not! It has good songs, great animation, great characters, some good comedy and a nice story with a good message. It feels like a classic Disney movie from the 90s, I can see why it’s so popular! As for my thoughts on the sequel, while I didn’t have a terrible time watching it, it was not as good as the first movie when it had the potential to be so much better. I was hyped when I saw the trailers, it looked really epic, but unfortunately I don’t think it really came together in the end. For starters, the story is WAY too complicated! It’s super exposition-heavy and I actually had a hard time following it at times! I have no idea how kids are supposed to follow it! It throws a lot of lore and history and mystery and conspiracy at you and it was just too much. It’s a fairy tale, not Avatar: The Last Airbender! It doesn’t need to be this complicated! The story is also WAY too fast-paced! It reminded me of The Rise of Skywalker. Yes. It’s that bad. It barely gives you any time to breathe and doesn’t give the characters a lot of time to interact. Most of the time, the main characters from the last movie are separated on their own little adventures. The only two characters that actually stay together through the whole movie are Anna and Olaf! This movie also introduces some new characters that are barely in it, but they’re set up like they’re supposed to be major characters! I don’t know why they would do that, it feels like a waste of time. Oh yeah, the movie’s, like, 100 minutes long! I feel like some of it could’ve been cut down. Like Olaf. He’s really annoying in this. I do have one more major issue with this movie and that’s the ending. Without giving anything away, I thought it was awful. It makes little sense, it feels rushed, it kinda makes the whole movie pointless and it turns the movie into a borderline white saviour story. Wasn’t a fan. You’ll see what I mean if you see the movie. I also predicted the plot twist pertaining to the closest thing this movie has to a villain, but it is a kids movie so I think I can forgive that. It just seems a little odd that that was one of the only predictable parts while everything else was so convoluted. Overall, while there were a lot of things that I did enjoy, like the songs, the voice acting, some of the comedy and the breathtakingly gorgeous animation, the story is just such a mess that I really can’t say this is a good movie. It’s not a terrible movie by any means, despite how I make it sound, but it’s certainly not very good. It’s okay. The story of the first movie was so simple, with an overarching theme and message of familial love. This movie is too overly complicated and I couldn’t tell you what the message or the theme even is. Is it about colonialism? Chosen Ones? Man vs. Nature? Familial love again? It has a lot of ideas but none of them are really fleshed out very well. I don’t know what we as an audience are supposed to learn or what the characters learned. Like I said, the whole movie feels kinda pointless. I feel like this could’ve been an hour-long Disney+ special or something, not the sequel to the former highest-grossing animated film of all-time! Overall, if you’re a die-hard Disney fan or your kids REALLY want to see it, give it a watch. It’s on Disney+. Otherwise, just rewatch the first movie. Very disappointing. Expand

Great animation, great music, great new anthems, great voice-acting and great story telling. For the second time around Elsa will bring great changes to the world by a sudden emotional surge that expresses itself through the impressive results of an outburst of uncontrolled creative power. Frozen II sends the viewer through a holistic journey for the soul/mind in which each character represents an archetype fighting for survival and evolution just to end up understanding that the only constant in all of the aspects of existence is change and in consequence the search is no longer poised for survival but for necessary death and rebirth. Themes of manipulation and exploitation of the indigenous peoples, the environment and politics are all too visible throughout the movie which then goes on to propose a solution: acknowledgment of our faults, of our debt to our very origin and then utter and complete surrender and sacrifice to right every wrong. Frozen II is a powerful invitation into reflection and change... Expand
