DW and I and her sister and fiance must be among the smallest minority on the plane today - we didn't really like Frozen.
It has its moments, but I don't get the hype.
The movie can't decide if it is serious or joking - Is it making fun of itself? Is it taking itself too seriously? It changes every other scene.
The music is, mostly, terribly written, with horrid transitions. Everything wrong with modern broadway rolled into one painful score. (I'm more judgemental about the music than most due having a music degree and to my 20 years playing in orchestras and in mulitple musicals, etc.)
The lyrics are childish and mostly dumbed-down, moreso than any Disney film in history that I can recall. Howard Ashman must be rolling over in his grave. While I give them credit for using the word "Fractals", they lose points for having a princess sing about being gassy. Seriously? And the song with her and the prince declaring their undying love for each other (and sandwiches) is one of the worst songs I've ever suffered through. Until the troll song later in the film. Disney music hit a new low twice in the same movie!
Half of the songs are poorly setup - they frequently just jump right into the singing. This is part of an overall problem with scene transitions and pacing with the entire film, however.
The movie is generally quite predictable and even some direct quotes we called before they were said out loud by the characters.
Not everything is bad, of course. There are some nice moments of animation, some funny moments. "In Summer" is hilarious and well crafted (it is also mimmicking an older style, not their modern pop-infused broadway drivel).
Some nice animation (also some not-so-nice where you can tell background characters are blocky and stiff in movement, cost and corner cutting). Nice scenery.
Never been happier we waited to watch the bluray before buying a Disney film. We honestly found it to be the least enjoyable Disney movie since Home on the Range. Tangled is far, far superior in every way.
Glad everyone else loves it so much. Good for Disney. I just seriously hope this doesn't usher in a new era of movies that are all in the same style.
