Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: La rivoluzione della Pixar è lontanissima. Ma Frozen è un buon prodotto tradizionale per famiglie, giustamente premiato dal successo natalizio ai botteghini americani ed italiani.
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: La mejor producción animada de Disney de los últimos años propone un cuento candoroso y de amor verdadero, como corresponde, pero sin renunciar a un dinamismo y a unos contenidos superficiales y de fondo verdaderamente interesantes. Una propuesta a celebrar.
- Edwin Arnaudin @ Ashvegas
- Excerpt: Nowhere near the next classic Disney princess story, directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee take Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen” and cram it with simple, often annoying characters and forgettable songs.
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: Frozen feels like it’s breaking new ground in telling a story where the women are actually in control (they could spice up Tangled all they wanted, for example, but it was still Rapunzel), and where the clichés of their narratives are turned inside out, almost as a sly commentary on what has come before.
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: Though it exhibits some qualities desirable in storytelling, the film suffers from slavish devotion to efficiency. You can practically hear executive producer and Pixar head honcho John Lasseter reminding Lee, Buck, and others of the value of story.
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: It feels mostly like a good version of something we’ve all seen before, rather than anything new or groundbreaking.
- Patrick Bromley @ F This Movie!
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A 3D animated princess tale saluting sisterly love and female empowerment.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: Simply put, “Frozen” is an adorable film with brilliant animation and plenty of old-school Disney charm.
- Bob Cashill @ Popdose.com
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The filmmakers have a blast skewering all things Nordic and its Broadway musical format works well, but step away and think about the film’s big obstacle and there’s a glaring problem here…
- Edwin Davies @ A Mighty Fine Blog
- Excerpt: While it doesn’t quite match up to the heights that Tangled managed – it doesn’t have any sequence as singularly beautiful as that film’s Chinese lanterns scene, and it gets a bit messy in its final act – Frozen is a funny, sweet and charming entry into the Disney canon.
- Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
- Excerpt: FROZEN is not only the best Disney cartoon in decades; it’s one of the finest movies of this very competitive year.
- Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Frozen me recordaba a “Enredados”: es sobresaliente visualmente, “Frozen” es incluso mejor, pero no narrativamente.
- Billy Donnelly @ This Is Infamous
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: This is a grandly entertaining film, full of vigor and wonder.
- Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk
- Kenji Fujishima @ In Review Online
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: FROZEN will warm even the coldest of hearts.
- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The musical is highlighted by a few really good songs. “Let It Go” in particular is a first rate ditty that I was still singing as I left the theater.
- Blake Howard @ Graffiti With Punctuation
- Excerpt: Frozen is the kind of animated film that doesn’t feel out of place in the same sentence as the classics such as The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin but the delightful point of difference is that instead of damsels in distress this dynamic duo of Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell) are out to redefine what it means to be a Disney princess.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: The showstopping central musical number is a glorious anthem to female power and ability… and so, in fact, is the whole wonderful movie. Disney is finally getting it.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Splendid entertainment, no matter your demographic, “Frozen” proves there’s still power in animation to weave a spell of joy and grand emotion. The hype is real; this is in the league of Disney’s best.
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- [New – 5/9/14] | Donald Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Excerpt: Although Frozen lacks the creative integrity of The Princess and the Frog, the joie-de-vivre of Tangled and the outright creativity of Wreck-It Ralph, it is a significant and compelling achievement.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Ryan McNeil @ The Matinee
- Excerpt: Once again, Disney has awaken Sleeping Beauty…and this time, she’s ready to take on the world.
- Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
- Excerpt: It has worthwhile things to say about family, loyalty and acceptance of oneself and others while at the same time functioning just as well on a purely enjoyable, grand Disney scale. Bravo.
- Nell Minow @ The Movie Mom
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- James Plath @ Family Home Theater
- Excerpt: The themes—estrangement of family members, sacrifice for the good of others, and, ultimately, the celebration of “difference”—touch people as much as this wonderfully animated film entertains.
- Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
- Excerpt: The end result is middling. Youngsters will likely dig it, but this is one that parents and grown-up animation aficionados may struggle to stay invested in.
- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: Visually stunning, but the story is all slush.
- Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
- Jose Solis @ StageBuddy
- Josh Spiegel @ Sound on Sight
- Excerpt: Frozen works on the whole in spite of itself, a movie that wants to cheekily mock the trappings of the old-fashioned fairy tale, before turning into an old-fashioned fairy tale by the time the end credits roll.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: While ‘Frozen’ is technically impressive,…as a narrative it leaves a good deal to be desired.
